Blog troubles.....Sorry all.

Hi All,
Well Savannah brought it to my attention that the Blog never posted Monday and then I had to go in and manually post it I think it was Wednesday.  I also had run it through spell check but I'm not all sure that worked either.  My Monday morning and day was so busy I didn't have a chance to check in with it to make sure it auto posted.

This weekend I will be talking with Savannah to figure out how to double check to make sure the blog is posting.

I am sorry that this happened.

It is my intent to start up Thriller Thursday again this summer. I just have to find some haunts and get over there to investigate and then report.

Saturday stop in at 29 Pines in Eau Claire, WI and see me.

Blessings All,

The Throat Chakra and things.

 Hi All,

Before we get started I want to say that I will be at 29 Pines in Eau Claire, WI on Saturday the 30th for the Spring Psychic and Wellness Fair.  There will be vendors and free classes going on all day from 10 to 5pm.  Stop out and see me.

I am looking for haunted locations to look into to for investigations this summer around Wisconsin and Eastern MN that I can feature on the Thriller Thursday blog.

Thursday the 28th Mercury goes into Retrograde until May 22.  Mercury effects communications, listening, understanding what someone is saying.  It can also effect electronics.

Sunday is May 1st and Beltane!  Happy Beltane Every one.  Beltane is a celebration half way between spring and summer.  Here is a real good article on Beltane http://www.witchvox.com/va/dt_va.html?a=usma&c=holidays&id=2765

The Throat Chakra

The throat chakra is blue in color.  It sits right at the base of your neck.  Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, Aquamarine are all great stones to use when working with the throat chakra.  I like to use Blue Lace Agate as well.  I just really like the energy of Blue Lace Agate.

The htroat chakra is all about speaking your truths and not holding back.  Unbalance and problems with the throat arise when you are not being truthful or you just are not speaking your mind on an issue that may be bugging you.  

When I see people who's throat chakra is off balance and I say something about it, it usually is a situation where the person is not telling someone else about how they feel in a situation or the person is not setting clear boundaries.  We talk while I channel Reiki to the area and usually I will get more information from the client's guides on what steps could be taken or what options the client has.  Then I balance the chakra and they have their homework to do in the form of taking care of the situation that is causing the unbalance.

Meditation:

To balance this chakra you can do a mediation to clean it up and balance it.  You can also ask your angels and guides to do it for you when you are in meditation if you are not good at visualizing.  I have problem with meditation sometimes so mostly I will put a blue stone on my throat chakra and leave it there a few minutes with the intent to clean up the chakra.  

In a mediation look at the chakra and take not of how it looks.  Is is bright or dull?  Is it spinning at the proper speed or does it feel off?  See a brilliant white light coming down from the universe and going into the troat chakra.  This white light spins through he chakra spinning it and cleaning it.  See it either speed up or slow down so that it is spinning at the right speed.  See the white light inside the blue sphere blasting clean all the dull areas.  When you feel the chakra is balanced and clean you can send the white light down the rest of the chakras exiting out your feet and going into mother earth to be recycled.  When you are finished you may need to ground yourself to shake off any extra energy.

Heart Chakra

Hi All,
I hope everyone has been enjoying the warm weather that has finally hit the mid west.  I know I have been trying to get projects around the house done.

This week Friday the 22 is the Full moon.  Friday is high time to manifest.  Write out your list of what you would like to come into your life and then burn it to release your intent into the universe.

Last week we talked sacral chakra.  This week we are talking about the Heart Chakra.

The heart chakra has two colors associated with it.  They are green and pink.  The heart chakra is about all the types of love and also about abundance.  Self love and unconditional love are two of the biggest things I have had to work on in my personal work with this chakra.  Also when working with this chakra the inner child can come in as a partner to help you work through clearing up energy associated with love.  Letting go is also wrapped up with this chakra as is trust and compassion.

Stones for helping with this chakra work would be green or pink in color.  My favorites are Rose Quartz and Malachite.  Bloodstone is also a good one.  I use 6 and lay them out around the body and put a pair one rose quartz and one malachite on my heart chakra when meditating to clear issues.

Healing this chakra is not an easy thing.  There is a lot of homework you must do.  Self love is huge here so you may have to dig deep to figure out how to love yourself because you cannot be truly successful in loving someone else until you love yourself unconditionally.  Spend time out in nature and with animals.  Take things as they come and let go of what is not serving you highest good.  Not all easy tasks.  Meditation can help you release any old injuries from past lovers.  Cutting ties and shutting doors on past loves also helps.  But also look at those past relationships as what did I learn about myself?  On the facebook page I posted a great video about twin flames.  This video also talks about self love.  Watch it he has a lot of good points. 

I am currently reading Using Your Chakras by Ruth White.  She breaks down all the chakras and not only how they work alone but how they work in pairs to keep your energy healthy.  I am also still working through reading Energy Medicine by Donna Eden.  

Again to clear this chakra in meditation visualize a green glowing ball of light in the middle of your chest.  This is your heart chakra.  Take a good look at it.  Is it dirty?  Is it spinning properly?  Bring down a ray of universal white light and beam that white light into your heart chakra and scrub that chakra clean using the white light to clear it.  Then see your chakra spinning in perfect balance.  If you feel a little light headed after remember to ground yourself.

That's all I have for this week.

Have an amazing week.

Blessings All,

Wendy

Willow and Second Chakra

Hi All,
This week the only date is Friday begins the Celtic Tree Month of Willow.  It runs to May 12.  Here is a little bit about Willow.

Sallie (Willow)

From what I could find on Willow.  Willow tree is associated with many Celtic goddesses and is known a the goddess tree.  It is linked with moon cycles, intuition and emotions.

Call on the Willow when you are working with emotional issues and healing those.

This is a time to follow your intuition.

The Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra is the second chakra located just below your navel in the area of the reproduction organs.  Where the root chakra was about survival the sacral chakra is about emotions.  Associated with this chakra are not only emotions but pleasure, enjoyment, intimacy (sex), creativity and abundance.  The areas of the body that can be affected by the chakra are the digestive system and eliminating of waste, the reproductive system, and the lower back and hips.

The color of this chakra is orange.  Citrine, fire opal and carnelian are some stones that can help balance and clear the sacral chakra.  The element linked to this chakra is water.

To clear and balance the chakra you can use a crystal from the list above to put directly on the chakra during mediation.  You can also rotate a crystal above the chakra for a few minutes with the intent the crystal will clear and balance your chakra.  You can also hold your hands above the chakra and channel the universal white light to the chakra seeing the chakra become clean and clear as it spins in its own speed and is balanced.  Some people use pendulums to check the chakras.  If you hold the pendulum above the chakra and it spins nice and even the chakra is clear.  If it is very slow or back and forth then you need to clear the chakra.

I tend to use stones to help me balance and clear my chakras.  There are many meditations out there you can also use but basically you want to visualize your chakra a bright orange ball spinning at just the right speed.  You will know what feels right.

Have a great week.

Many Blessings All,

Wendy

Rough week....Chakras on hold....Let' chat

Hi All,
Let's get some dates out of the way and then chat a bit on things going on in the Universe.

Dates:
Thursday is the new moon.  Which means we are opening new doors and beginnings.

Ok let's talk because there is one thing I want to cover personally and then hey let's talk show and what I learned and then let's go a far as to talk they crazy things that have been coming up the last two weeks and maybe it will click with someone and you guys can comment so we all can understand what is going on.

Personal Note:  Ok I may get on a soap box.  Parvo virus in dogs.  I lost a new puppy this last week to the parvo virus.  The most horrible thing I have ever had to deal with.  I felt so bad for puppy as she was very sick and it was very hard on her little body until she finally gave up.  So here is my soap box.  Please learn about this deadly highly contagious diseas and get your puppy their round of Distemper shots.  Our poor little girl was too young and had too many things she was fighting off in ther young short life to be able to fight parvo.  In general, parvo has a long life out of body.  So when an infected puppy does its business outside and another puppy sniffs that area, the "sniffer" puppy can come down with it.  Yes just by sniffing!  Parvo can last a year in the soil or in your carpet.  So thank god I had hardwood floors.  The only thing that kills parvo for cleaning your house is good old bleach.  I had to wash everything in bleach and throw out three throw rugs.  My plan is another puppy some day so better safe then sorry and throw it all out.
http://www.caninejournal.com/parvo-in-dogs/       This is a really good article I found and posted to facebook.

Off the soap box.  Thank you for letting me get that out.

What the heck is going on in the Universe?
Here is what I've been asked about this week .  Vivid Dreams that are predicting break ins and not o nice things happening to people.  A vivid dream is a dream in which what is going on feels so real you wake up wondering if if actually happend.  A friend of mine called to say that people around her were experiencing these kinds of dreams and well I have some people around me too.  So I'm putting it out there to you all what do you think is going on?  We have been through a lot with energy lately, we had the full moon, spring equinox, I beleive we had twin comets pass by the earth and a lunar eclipse.  That's a lot going on.
Talking with other sesitive people this week it seems like our vibrations are on the rise again and things are shifting.  This could explain the dreams and maybe a peek at what's to come.

Hayward Expo:
The interesting thing about the expo this weekend was I did about half energy work and half readings. Usually at expos I do one or the other more.  I also did a lot of educating people and helping people so they could use the knowledge they gained to help those around them.  I will take this opprotunity to say please email me when you have quesitons and I will do my best to have an answer, find an answer or hook you up with someone who can help you.  If you want to learn Reiki, Yes I have prices on my website, but please contact me because I will do by donation or pay what you can.
At this expo many people had stuff they just had to let go of.  Past life stuff, current life stuff.  When talking to friends this clicked because we are in an engery time of dropping our baggage as we rise to fit into this new energy that is hitting all of us.  I'll keep my eyes open and try to post articles on this as I find them or am sent them so that we can all stay informed and know the signs in our own energy that we are going through this.  If you run across an article please email it to me and I'll post.  I'll try to post them here as well as Mystic Monday Facebook page.

Here is what I am suggesting we all do to help our energy and body as we shift through and it will help us clean up our energy.   Daily meditation which will include a mini chakra balance.  Then cord cutting and releasing people that are not serving your highest good.  Cord cutting needs to be done every time you feel your energy being drained.  I will admit I don't do this enough.  I am horrible with eating foods that are good for me so that's going to be a goal to help my body with this shift.  Sleep, 8 hours.  I know right.  But it is important.

Cord Cutting:
Work head to toe.  Bundle up energy cords like you would make a pony tail.  I do this at all my chakras since this is where people tend to plug in and steal your energy.  Front and back.  Then raise your arms straight over your head and bend your hand at the wrist so your finger tips touch each other.  You are going to use them as a knife to cut the cords.  Breathe a deep breath  in and as you exhale forcefully drop your hands down your front and then inhale and raise them up and then exhale and forcefully run them down your back.  Cords will be in a circle around your feet.  Step out of the circle and it will dissipate to mother earth and she will recycle it.

You can also ask Archangel Michael to come down and cut your cords with his flaming sword in a meditation to release them.

OK next week we will get back on track with chakras.
I try to plan a blog but things come up and I'm inspired to go a different way sometimes. :)
Have a great week.
Blessings All,
Wendy

Hope you had a Happy Easter!

Hi All,
No blog this week as I was busy with family.  Mystic Monday will be back next week with experiences from Hayward's Expo.

If you can stop in and see me.  This are great expos to learn and experience new forms of self care and energy work.
Blessing All,
Wendy

Hi All,
Happy Ostara!  Late...lol  Spring Equinox was yesterday.
Wednesday  is the storm moon.  Full moon. High night for manifesting so create your list of what you would like to come into your life and burn it to release your intentions to the universe.

I will be at this event in Hayward.  Stop in and say hi.  I'll be doing Reiki and Readings.  Expo price of $20.  Book future sessions for discounted prices at the expo.

Back to Basics

As a Reiki practitioner and Energy worker, I work with the body's Aura and Chakras.  But really what is a chakra and what does it do?  I wanted to dig into this a bit and really do a great job at presenting some useful information and help you understand what your chakras can do for you to help you maintain wellness.

This week we are going to look at the first chakra the Root Chakra or Base Chakra.

The root chakra is located at the base of the spine.  The color is red. It's the slowest moving of the chakras.  The function of this chakra is to keep you grounded and connected to mother earth. It's also the chakra that helps you with survival.   When the root chakra is balanced and healthy it draws the earth energy up through the feet and channels it up through the spine.  You may feel that everything is good in your life when this chakra is open and balanced.  You have money, a roof over your head, food on the table and you feel pretty good about yourself and your life.

When this chakra is out of balance you can feel tired.  You may experience weight gain.  Because this chakra is at the base of the spine it can manifest in reproductive problems and bladder or intestinal problems.  

While reading on the is chakra through a few different sources I found it interesting to learn that the root chakra keeps us connected to past life memories and ancestral memories or traumas that leave emotional imprints on your energy from our parents, grandparents and so on.  Another thing I found out is through this chakra we form bonds or exchange energy with the root chakra of the people we have sexual relations with.  So if you are having a hard time getting over someone you were in a relationship with it may be that your root chakras still have some energy cords together.

You can use a pendulum to check your chakra if you are not able to feel your body's energy.  If you hold a pendulum above the chakra is should spin in a circle pretty strongly if the chakra is open and balances.  If the pendulum circles slow or not at all then you will need to meditate and look at the chakra to clean the chakra and set it spinning.  Once you feel you have cleared the block then you can check it again with the pendulum.  If you are a energy worker you can simply channel white light or reiki to the chakra to open it up and clear it.  

Meditation:  See a red wheel spinning at the base of your spine.  Look at it.  What does it look like? Is is bright or is is dull?  Does it look pretty clear or does it have dirty spots on it?  See a bright white light of the Divine come down and set a spark of light in the chakra.  Move the white light inside the chakra around scrubbing the chakra clean and energizing it a sit neeeds.  When you feel the light is done send it blessings and thank you for its assistance.  Now look at your red chakra again.  Do you see a difference?  You may need to ground yourself after this meditation to release any feelings of floating or not being connected.  Holding a black stone will help you ground.  You can do a meditation where you imagine yourself as a tree with your body being the truck and your feet becoming your roots digging deep into mother earth as you are tall.  Your arms and hands become branches stretching up to the sky.  Now send your energy down through your roots to mother earth.  Let her drawn the energy out and take it away.  If you are feeling a little unbalanced from this you can then draw her red energy put through your roots up your trunk and through your branches to the universe.

Once you've done this meditation you can double check your chakra with your pendulum.  Or if you can feel energy use your hands and check the energy by hovering your hands over the area and feeling the flow of energy there.  I can't tell you what it feels like because everyone feels energy different.  

When I use a stone to help clear a chakra, I put the stone right on the body over the chakra and leave it there as long as I feel it needs to be.  Sometimes the stones will release themselves by sliding off the body on their own.

This week I through a bit of information out there but really it is the tip of the iceberg of what is out there.  I encourage you to read and practice on yourself and friends or family to fully get in touch with the chakras and their energy.  Next week we will throw in a little of the Aura with the 2nd chakra.

Have an amazing week.

Blessings All,

Wendy

St. Patrick's Day, The Color Green, and Alder.

Hi All,
Well this week we have 2 days to mark.
Thursday the 17th is St. Patrick's Day.
Friday the 18th Celtic Tree Month of Alder begins.
Let's discuss these two days and we are going to throw in the color green and what it is associated with.

St. Patrick's Day!

Now I work in St. Paul, MN and let me just say that people are insane over St. Patrick's day in St. Paul.  I would love to experience it since I've been to Minneapolis on St. Patrick's Day.  But it won't be until it occurs on a weekend.

History:
I took these tid bits from www.history.com which has some great videos to watch on St. Patrick.
St. Patrick wasn't Irish....what?  He was English and an aristocrat.  Patrick was taken by Irish raiders and served as a shepherder for 6 years.  When he made it back to his family he went off to become a preist.  After becoming a priest St. Patrick had a vision telling him to return to Ireland.  He did so as a Chirsitan Missionary.  He worked his way through Ireland teaching people about the Holy Trinity with the help of a shamrock.  After his death it wasn't until the 18 century that people began wearing shamrocks on March 17 the day St. Patrick died.  The shamrock fad turned into a wearing green tradition.  St. Patrick grew into a myth and legend.   It is said that he chased all the snakes out of Ireland.  Now this has been a reference as to converting the Pagans to Chirsitians.  But one only really knows.  There is so much that surrounds St. Patrick it is hard to uncover the truth.
Famous St. Patrick's Day parade traditions started in the USA.
From childhood I remember we were told to wear green and sang songs about wearing green for the Irish.  We were also allowed to pinch our friends that were not wearing green.  To do St. Patrick justice please go to history.com.

Green:

Green is associated with the heart chakra.  This charka is about love, loving yourself and loving others.  Green is a balancing and calming color.  It helps to balance our energy . I Green is also about hope, growth, abundance and money.  Sone of the negative of green are jelousy and envy.

Green is also the color that helps us connect with nature.  For me green is very calming and grounding.  It helps me to relax by thinking about nature.  When I think green I see grass and trees this then connects me to mother earth.

Celtic Month of Alder:

I have taken information on Alder from Voice of the Trees by Mickie Mueller.  This is one of my favorite card decks to work with.  I love it.

This blessed tree speaks to you of your own inner wisdom as well as taking the advice of a sage.  This is the time to be open. ( inner voice, guides, signs)  You will find the answers you need from within.    If you are making desisions at this time, make them based on widom instead of emotion.

Alder is associated with the letter F in the Ogham.  Alder loves moist soil and can be found near a river or lake.  The wood ha a red color to it.  It also is water resistant so it was a great choice to make buckets out of.  The celtic people also used it to make shields.

Next week we will start a series of  a basic understanding of the Aura and Chakras.  

Have an awesome week.  Be safe if you go out to celebrate St. Patrick's day.  

Blessings All,

Wendy
