Full Moon....Standard Process 21 day Purification Program.

Hi All,
I thought I would pop in to ask has anyone else been feeling or seeing the effects of the full moon yet?

I started the 21 day Purification Program through Standard Process.  My chiropractor sells it.  I was on HRT for over a half a year and gained weight bad.  I had to go off because I was tired all the time and couldn't get up and moving.  I was winded walking around work because I was so tired.  I ate horrible because I just didn't have time to cook.  Well ok horrible for me is bad because I love my chocolate and quick prepare food.  I love pasta.

So I am day two on this 21 day cleanse and I have to eat only fruits and Veggies until day 10 when I can introduce meat again.  No dairy.  I have to say yesterday day 1 was horrible.  Headache all day bad and hungry all the time.  Today I am starting out not so hungry.  I woke with energy.  In the last two hours I've had tea, my shake, and a sweet potato baked, and I tried to choke down a smoothie with banana, pear and grapes.  It was just too thick so note to self I should make those thinner.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I will journal this entire process for the next 21 days but I will check in here and there to let you know how it is going.

I hope everyone is having a great week.

What is going on? Mandela Effect? De ja vu?

Hi All,
Friday this week is the full moon.  This moon is called the Harvest moon.  Do your rituals.

Yesterday marked an anniversary for 9/11.  I hope people took a minute to remember all those lives lost and the way our nation came together.  Where were you?  I was at home in my home daycare greeting parents when the news hit.  Love Bites was playing on the radio and they stopped the song to bring the news.  I went into the living room to turn on the T.V. to watch the plane slam into the tower.  Makes me wonder if today we are any safer than back then.  What has been done to up the security of America?  Alright, enough I won't get started.

Today we are going to talk Deja vu and the Mandela Effect.  I don't actually know great deal about these subjects so here is some basic 101 stuff.  I am bringing this up because I have talked to a few healers and psychics in the past month and it seems like we are all having experiences with living an event and at the moment we are living it, the event triggers a memory of already having done this event.
What?  Alright, example from my crazy life.  I was traveling not to long ago.  The morning of the flight home I was packing up my bag in the hotel room and simply put my make up bag into my suitcase and I had this feeling of having done this already at an earlier date.  Same surroundings, Same person with me.  It was like I was watching the event on rewind.  But the thing is I didn't have that Aha! moment later that day thinking "Oh this was a dream I woke up from a few weeks ago".  It didn't have a dream feeling to it.  I remembered it instantly as it happened as something I had already done.

So I talked with some friends.  Then I called friends again this last week when I was out again and had an experience where I knew I had done the tour I was on already.  I know strange right.  Well I started looking into it and a friend suggested reading up on some things.  Here is what I started with.  This blog is to just get you thinking and maybe someone has a theory as to what is going on. If you do please contact me I'd love to hear it.

DejaVu:  The feeling that you have already experienced something that is actually happening for the first time.

Mandela Effect:  This is as I understand when a number of people have the same memory that could be wrong or where events some how changed and that is why there is a mass "mis-remembering?
Examples would be the death of Mandela did that happen in the 1980's or 2013?  Who remembers Henry the VIII's portrait having him hold a turkey leg?  Are the famous children's books about a bear family the Berenstain Bears or Berenstein Bears?  Which do you remember been correct?

This had theories forming that there could be ways of alternate universes or parallel universes some how slipping into ours. Or more simply we may have slipped into one and back again thus causing the memories to be different or causing you to remember something that you thought happened in a dream or already at a different time.

Here is a link to a Mandela Website I found by Fiona Broome   http://mandelaeffect.com/about/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3l8idr9QFE You tube video about Mandela effect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw-YiEnHJ4s

Pretty interesting.  Check it out.

I am not sure what I think about all this.  I just know I felt strange knowing I had already been there done that.  Other times I've experienced something like that I knew it was from a dream.  From what I understand with talking to other people something is going on with individual memories.

Let me know your thoughts.  Are we time traveling, is it just our brains, or are we slipping into other universes or what?
I will be looking more into this because it's just so interesting even if you don't believe or what your point is on this all.
Have a great week.

Stuff Going On!

Hi All,
Lots of stuff going on this week to talk about.

Tuesday the 30th our favorite time Mercury goes into retrograde.  Happy Joy!  What does this mean?
During this period of time anything that can go wrong with technology can.  Mercury rules communications.  It is not a great time to run out and buy a new computer or cellphone or what have you.  Communication with people maybe off.  People my misunderstand the point you are trying to make.  Think about all the ways you communicate or express yourself.  Mercury can also effect travel.  This is usually the time when stuff happens and I tell a friend and then I'm informed that Mercury is in retro.  It's like a Friday the 13th day only last for up to 3 weeks.

Thursday is the New Moon phase.  What's that mean?  Well it's time to close the door and walk away from things that are not working.  Release everything in your life that needs to go because it is not serving your highest good.  I will be using this time to self reflect.  I am also kicking around the idea of working on the shadow self and understanding the dark areas of well me.

Friday is the beginning of the Celtic Tree Month of Vine.
This is a time of year for taking time to celebrate or enjoy the fruits of your labor.  Which this time of year in old ways is what was going on. Think of it back in the days when we harvested our own food and we all in our own depended on our plot of land to feed us and give us our basic needs of food, clothing and shelter.  This would be the time of year we would be celebrating the harvest we have done and the harvest we have yet to do.  What is it a vine does?  Within a vines life it grows upward through out the year and when it is ready it produces fruit that ripens.  We ourselves grow throughout the year.  I'm talking our self growth as we experience and learn what life gives us.  Most of the spring and summer when it is warm we are pretty active.  Fall can also be a active time but in the winter as the days are very short we turn inward.  This is our time of year in which we look at what has come to pass, what we have learned and then really celebrate those experiences.  You made it though experience you may have not thought possible.
So I encourage you to really look at the cycle a vine goes through and look back at this year and see what cycle you have gone through.  Then celebrate it. :)

I really for today do not have a topic to talk about as I am home with my cat bugging me to pay attention to her as I've been gone all weekend.  I am however, working on a plan of self evaluation.  As everyone out there is busy with life I am also, teenage boys, work, boyfriend, his boys our time without boys and how to fit in just me time to balance my energy from all of it.  I am sure there are many of you in the same boat.  Your job takes up the majority of the day.  If you are like me and you have a longer drive time than the entire day is your job.  Then you come home to your house and or your house and children.  I am reaching a point where I have gotten out of the habit of daily meditation and I am taking the steps to get back into it.  I need some self time during the say and when I don't get it I feel cranky.  I need to get back into some good Reiki or self energy habits of cutting cords more throughout the day, Clearing myself at night with a smudging session or white light session.  I also need to as I said meditate more.

So I guess here is homework for us all.  This week I want you to pick a time to find 5 minutes to meditate and write down your experience with it.  I am also challenging you and myself to clear out our energy at least twice a day.  That should be easy to do.  Next week we will get more difficult.  Let's keep it simple so we continue to build as we together make a change for the better.

Have an amazing week all.
Happy Labor Day next Monday.  Oh well, I guess that means no Mystic Monday next week.  So we will pick it up where we left off the Monday after.
Blessings All,
Wendy

A Medium on Historic Battlefields...and More.

Hi All,

I want to start out by saying I am very sorry for the frustrations that my iPhone and iPad users are experiencing with trying to get to the blog.  Apparently they are running into being redirected by aggressive ads.  I have no idea why and I have contacted Blogger several times last week and have yet to hear back from them.  My only suggestion is to go to www.intuitivewendy.com and see if that gets you to the page without ads.  I will keep everyone updated by posting on Mystic Monday Facebook page.

On with the stories:
Gettysburg

I didn't have a many ghostly encounters in Gettysburg but that didn't shock to many of my friends.  Since I had stepped into Gettysburg I thought I had enough protection.  I had my hematite necklace on and protection stones in my pocket.  I had a white bubble around me.  I still got smacked by the heavy energy in the town and around.  It started as soon as we visited town.  I came down this a huge headache.  Nothing would help me shake it. Day two I was in town and same thing and a bonus of being house that was turned into  a shop and having an entity follow me around the shop making me queezy and giving me a headache.

Finally, I made my way up to the metaphysical store.  I walked in and talked with the shop owner as I picked out black onyx, black tourmaline and smoky quartz.  When I got to the counter I saw protection bracelets.  I looked at a few and asked the woman what she thought would help best.  I told her what I do and how I was feeling since I had been in town.  She said there is a lot of energy not only from the horrible battle that took place through out town and the area but from the people that come through town.  She also wasn't surprised at what I was feeling.  She suggested the bracelet.  I bought it and did some Nemeton Energy work to it and then put it on.  From the moment I put it on an wore it everywhere I was fine.  No more headaches, the ghost in the shop didn't  bug me as much as when I didn't have it.  So what was the little amazing thing made of....Hematite, Onxy and Amethyst.


Antietam

Antietam really helped put Gettysburg into perspective to the size of the battle.  If you ever travel to Antietam I highly suggest the CD guided tour for the car.  We started out tour with a 30 minute movie at the Visitor Center.  Then we toured the museum and listened to the guide give his speech as we looked out onto the fields in the observation deck.  After a few questions we were off to the car to start our tour.

All of these photos are of the are called the Sunken Road. 

History:
Sunken Road became Bloody Lane as the Confederate army used this road where their line was.  However, when the Union army came across the fields this road became a trap and the Confederate army was wiped out and pushed back to retreat. 

When we walked down the stairs into the lane a confederate soldier dressed in a cowboy hat and long gray jacket came up by my right side and said as he dipped his head, "Madame this is no place for a lady.  You shouldn't be around all this death and carnage."  He left quickly.  Then a young man, a teenager about 16 years of age, came forward shaking, he told me "I didn't come all this way to die away from my mother.  I didn't think it was going to be like this.  They (the men from my town) told stories of how it would be glorious."  Brad asked me, "which way do you think the Union army came?"  As he was talking to me, another Confederate soldier came up to me and pointed down the road and over the stone wall you see in picture two.  He told me, "The Yanks are coming over the hill.  We are trapped, there is no way out."  He left me in a panic.  Brad and I walked around and
the area became peaceful and quiet.  We then left the area after I had a chance to ground and continued our tour.

So that is the end of this week's blog.  I am sorry to day I didn't have more stories from Gettysburg.  But I did have a great time out there learning history. 
Have an amazing week.
Blessings All,
Wendy

Gettysburg Night 1 Ghost Tour

Hi All,
I've been to Gettysburg and Antietam in one week and I have a few stories.  Not as many as I thought.  There are many places to book Ghost Tours and go out on an Investigation with a guide and tools on every corner.  We went with one that had high marks on TripAdvisor and did just a walking tour.

This week for dates there is just the full moon on Thursday.  Remember to do your ritual.

I have a few pictures to post and let you come up with what you believe is in the photos.  Let's get started.

We went on the Ghost Tour though Gettysburg.  Our first stop was the Jenny Wade house.  Jenny Wade was the only civilian killed in the war.  She was baking bread in the kitchen of her sister's half of this twin home.  The morning she was killed making bread, the bullet that struck her went through two doors before hitting her in the back.  This house is rumored to be haunted by a little boy.  I walked though the house and didn't feel anything but that doesn't mean much.  This entire town was the battlefield and I had a hard time with the energy in the streets and in and out of buildings. 

Now in this photo behind the light pole is a statue of Jenny.  However I want you to look at the door on the right.  Then look to the left of the door between the door and the window shutter. 
I won't tell you what I see.   I want you to look and make up your mind as to what you see .  If you want email me or leave a comment and I'll let you know what I see.

This bright little orb by the roadside was near the building the town stored damaged personal items from dead soldiers after the battle. 

This is the house they used for storage.  I think at one time this was Mead's headquarters.  I'm not sure though as we had a lot of history thrown at us all week.  If you look in the middle windows on both floors.  The lower one is much more clear.  We were told that the second floor of this house had the most sightings of ghosts walking in and out of view. 

This is the back  yard of the orphanage.  There was a story of a man who was found on the field dead holding a photo of three children.  The photo was put in newspapers and made it's way to NY.  A woman saw the photo and recognized her three children and her husband.  She came to Gettysburg to collect his things and see him buried when she was offered a job as the head of the Orphanage.  Under her care the children were healthy and happy.  People saw them outside playing.  When she married and left one of the teachers took over and the children's health and care declined.  Rumor has it she had a place in the basement where she would chain children to the walls.  She was brought up on charges and eventually she was run out of town.  However, this building is the site of many sightings. 

In this photo there is a bright small orb by the corner of the shed on the green neighbors garage.  This is still the property of the orphanage.  Now if you look at the orb you will see or at least I see a face next to it.  Let me know what you think and leave me a comment.

This orb disappears in the next photo.  However, I feel like it's dust.  I'd say a bug but we really didn't seem to have many bugs in the town of Gettysburg for as late as it was.

Gone

This was just night one of our week out in Gettysburg.  We tour the Jenny Wade house and the Wills House where Pres. Lincoln stayed and finished his Gettysburg Address.  We also did a day of the battlefield which I'll share later.  We also did a day out on the battlefield of Antietam where I had three encounters all in one.  I wish I would have had an EVP.

I'll share all that more next week.

Have an awesome week.

Blessings All,

Wendy

Hi All.
I am in Gettysburg this week. I will be taking the candlelight ghost tour and we have a personal guide bookes to take us through the battle fields.
Next week I should have some great stories to share.
Until then.

Lughnasadh/Lammas Blessings

Lughnasadh/Lammas Blessings All!

Today is Lughnasadh!
Tuseday is The new moon.
Friday is the beginning of the Celtic Tree Month of Hazel.

Let's talk Lughnasadh.
Lughnasadh is the first of the three harvest festivals.  This festival honors the Celtic Sun god Lugh.
Lammas is the goddess as the grain or harvest mother.
The second festival being Autumn Equinox fest for fruit harvest.  The third, being Samnhain.
This is a time of year when the sun and the earth start to shift to ready for the winter months.  Celebrate the day with the ritual you chose.

Next week Mystic Monday will not post.  I will be on a retreat.

Hazel Tree
This wood is used for the bonfires of Beltane.  It is a tree representing wisdom.  Hazel Tree stands as a guardian between our world and the otherworld.


Keeping it simple.

A friend and I were talking about Wicca and rituals.  I was talking about wanting to learn more Wicca ways and she questioned this because neither one of us fits good into rituals.  I mean, I am all about keeping things simple.  To me the word "ritual" means I have to do something in a certain way.  To me that's just too much memorizing.  Do you need to follow a tradition in order to have a relationship with your God, Goddess or whomever?  Do you need to set up a special altar with tools that represent deities?  I have no idea; these are questions for you.  I meditate to communicate with whoever it is I need guidance from.  This doesn't mean I don't have a ritual.  I do of sorts.  I light a candle, play music that helps me get to a meditative state, I also do a prayer of intent and a thank you.  I keep it that simple.  Do what you want harm none. 

Communicating with the Dead
This week I had an experience with a friend who I was chatting with on-line.  I remember saying to her that he wouldn't get the sign that she was looking for because her loved one was recently crossed over and that he had to go through his life review on the otherside first.  As I was telling her this and explaining charts and how we plot multiple "deaths" ways out,  a man came to stand by my table and began telling me things that were for her.  As we were chatting she confirmed things and got a sign within the information I had given her.  I learned there is no such thing as a proper time to get a sign or not.  If the person is strong enough to give a sign they will.

This week a bit of tidbits of information and not one real theme this week.  I hope to come back in two weeks with some ghost stories!

Until then.  Have an amazing two weeks.
Blessings All,
Wendy

Be the Change (Perception)

Hi All,

Let's jump right into the topic this week.

I was talking to two friends this weekend and we got onto the subject of Perception.

Let's go straight to good old Merriam-Webster:  Perception:  The way you think about or understand someone or something.  The ability to understand or notice something easily. 

Full Definitions

A result of perceiving: Observation.  A mental image.

Obsolete: Consciousness

Awareness of the elements of environment through physical sensation.

Physical sensation interpreted in the light of experience.

A quick, acute and intuitive cognition: appreciation

A capacity for comprehension

OK so the conversation we had involved the way you see a situation or lesson with the glass being half full or half empty.

When you are going through life's lessons it may be very hard to see the positive until you've gone through what it is you are going through.  It could take years.   My friend said something very powerful about perception as we were talking.  Perception can be very empowering or very destructive. Which is true.

So then I was pondering things while having my morning coffee and thought about a blog that included the Golden Rule, The Witch's Reed and the Reiki Principles and how they would tie into this.

Think about these three pictures and the messages they carry.    Where am I going with this?  Am I going to tell you that you need to be positive 100 percent of the time and to not acknowledge your negative feelings?  No I'm not.

Is a situation always negative if it always feels negative?  If you perceive it to be then yes. But what if you looked at it with the "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" eyes?

Say your job is just full of negative.  You've been working longer hours, maybe there is a negative person you're dealing with on a daily basis.  But let's look at that and see it for the good.  Are the longer hours you're working temporary?  If so then great, you know there is a way out of that stress.  Is the person that is negative someone you have to deal with for hours a day or do you see the person here and there?  This is an eye opener for me as well because I've fallen into the everyday life of letting the stress get to me and I'm out of balance between my personal and professional life.  I can feel that I'm out of balance in both as it's carrying over into both.  Today is a new day for us all to start thinking about being the change.

Here is where we be the change.  In life we change has to start with ourselves.  The only person you are able to control is you.  Now self-reflection and change is never easy so there is homework.  Find a notebook you can use as a journal.  

Now let's take a situation like the job and spin it to change.

Think about when you first started, how did you feel?  What did you like about where it is you work? List all the Pros of why you like your job.  Next list all the ways your life is going good because of your job.  When that is done make a cons list.  What is it that you do not like?  What needs to change?  

For me in my job I deal with a lot of energy from moods.  I am also a person who can easily take on someone's cheerful mood or someone’s frustrated mood quick.  Now I know what I need to do to change this and I know I have not been good at doing this, so the next 21 days I am going to fall back on my Reiki training and clean my energy and make the change in myself to be more aware of taking on other people's energy.  

What does that change look like?  Well if we look at the Reiki Principles let's do so realistically to apply them to life in general to be the change you need for you.

Today I will not be angry.  It's alright to be angry.  Acknowledge it and then deal with it.  You might have to keep a lid on your anger but you can still deal with it as it comes.  What is making you angry? If it is a coworker can you gently call him or her out on it?  Maybe you just ask the angels or guides for help releasing the anger and take a few clearing, calming, breaths before moving on.  When you have time go to the bathroom and cut your cords from the situation or person causing it. (I need to practice this more) Remember, people are putting energy cords to you when they come into contact with you throughout the day so you need to cut those cords.  When you release the cords your energy will increase and you will feel better. Lighter.  So acknowledge your anger, bless it and move on for the day. I know easier said than done.  Sometimes I just need to vent the anger so I talk to someone I know is a safe person who will not spread my vent as gossip.

Just for today I will not worry.  Again let it go.  Easier said than done but when you put out worry to the universe the universe manifests more worry back to you.  So figure out the worry and what is the cause and then look at it and make a change if you can.  If you can't because say it is a loved one's health, breathe.  Take a minute or two away from that.  Go within yourself and just breathe.  Focus on you for a bit because it is alright to take care of you so you can take care of the loved one who is going through whatever health issue it is.  

Again acknowledge it and move forward.  Moving forward might be something as simple as brainstorming ways to make a change or to get rid of what it is that is causing the worry.  It is alright for you to take yourself or your energy back from someone.  There is an entire blog in itself.

Just for today I will be grateful.   Think of all the things in your life you have and are blessed with. Your life. Your health. Your children.  Your family.  A roof over your head.  Your job.  All the things that you have to live your life.  Then once you've reflected on this look at how amazing you are.  All the blessings you have.  Focus on what is.

Just for today I will do my work honestly.  Do you do your work honestly?  Do you show up on time and ready for work?  What does do your work honestly mean to you?  This one is all you.  Everyone has a different work ethic.  I was raised to always be to work on time and be there every day that I'm not sick.  We earn our paychecks we are not entitled to them.  Do you follow your company's policies?  This would be another thing to look at when you are talking honesty in the work place.

How do you make your co-workers feel?  Do you gossip?

Today I will be kind to every living thing.  Do I even need to explain or apply this?  Don't kick the dog.  In a trying situation maybe reflect after it on did you handle that good or could you have done something different.  I think of heated situations I am in on a day to day bases and I can do it differently if I can let my temporary anger not take control.  Something to work on. 

I threw a lot at you today.  Things to think about.  Reiki Principles or none.  I think the focus is more on how can you take what you believe in to help you make the change.  The Reiki Principles for me were a good example because writing them out gave me the reflection time to apply more positive changes I can make.

August 8th there will be no Mystic Monday and possibly the 15th as well.  But we will see about the 15th I might have some amazing ghost stories to tell.  Check out the Mystic Monday Facebook page for updates and I will try to quick post here too as those dates get closer.

Have an amazing week everyone.  Good luck with your homework.

Blessings All,

Wendy

Happy Mystic Monday! Vampires, Cloud Busting, Time Stopping and More...

Hi All,
This week we are going to explore a few things you can accomplish or just play with as you are working with the energy that connects everything that is on our planet and in our universe.

Now I'm going to put a disclaimer and say to remember harm none and so mote it be.  If you do negative then negative will come back to you.  Just keep that in mind.

Dates this Week:
Tuesday the 18th is the Full Moon!  Use the moons energy at it's peak to help you with manifesting or bringing projects or things into fulfillment.  Time to go out to your fire pit and burn your intentions of what you would like to bring into your life.

This week I've had some request about this and that.  So here it is.
Cloud Busting

Picture this if you can.  You are outside on a warm day.  You have a blanket and spread it out on the lawn or by your favorite lake and lay down on your back looking up at the sky.  The wind is blowing just a little to provide a cool breeze on this comfortable day.  You look up to the sky and see fluffy white clouds passing you by at a crawling speed.  There are big ones and small ones.  It takes you back to your childhood and you start picking out shapes of cars, dogs, dragons, boats and anything else your mind can come up with.  But how about if you could break one up and make the sky blue in it's place.  Simply erase a cloud.  Would you?  Could you?  You can.  Try it.  Start small so you know how your body is going to react if it does and then you know what to look for next time you try.  For me the first time I had a major headache after.
So pick your cloud.  Then I usually stare at the cloud and make my eyes go soft while looking at it like when you do one of those old Magic Eye posters.  Now what I do is look at the cloud and then begin to erase it with my mind like and replace the space with the blue sky.  When looking at a cloud I pull the sky color with my mind to cover the white of the cloud until the cloud is gone.  Another way to do this is use your eyes to look at the area of the cloud you are going to start with to break it up and erase it.  I've used the power symbol with Reiki to help me bust up a cloud before as well but I had to exchange energy with the cloud to break it up and erase it.  You can also imagine a big eraser wiping out the cloud and then replacing the area with sky blue as you erase.  Try it and see what you can do.

Stopping Time:

OK really this is more like bending time so you can make it where ever you are going on time.  When I'm running late and I know I am never going to make it on schedule I use this.  But since I'm always an early person I don't do this too often.  But you can bend time so that you can arrive on time.  I did this once with a friend in the car.  We had gone shopping on our hour break from work and we were stuck in a bit of traffic after we left the shop a little later then we should have to get back on time.  I just focused on the clock and then asked that I arrive back to work at say 1:30 on time.  Then I wrapped the car in a bubble of white light and we continued to drive normal.  My friend was like there is no way we are making it back on time we are going to be so late and she was getting a bit upset with me.  But we pulled into work with a minute to spare.
Now I've also been told to do this you can visualize yourself arriving to your destination on time and you will get there.  Another way I've heard this done is to see your car in a tunnel getting to the place you are gone on time.  The tunnel pulls your car to the end on time and at your destination.
So you can play with that a little too and see which one works for you.

Vampires:

Here I am going to talk a bit about the energy vampire.  This week I did an emergency session for a close friend and I'm going to share a little because it involves an energy vampire that she works with.  In this case the person wasn't just taking her energy the person left nasty energy to continue to take her energy while this person what away from her.  My friend called to tell me she had been real tired and irritable and could figure out why.  She said that one person at work had been wearing on her and she just couldn't shake feeling drained after a few talks with this person.  So as we were talking I was being shown a big snake like creature that was attached to her and feeding on her energy.  I had to do a distance session that night and use several different energy tools to sever it and replace her energy with Reiki to get her feeling better.  The next morning she text me saying she felt lighter and had slept great.  Now it's not easy to get rid of a person like this and breaking the connection can be difficult depending on the length of time and the relationship.
So here are some tricks to help you protect your energy.

Cut your energy cords.  We have gone over this in past blogs.  You can also find out how to do this in Mystic Monday the book.

Carry or wear gemstones or stones that are for protections.

Wrap yourself in a bubble of white light.

Smudge yourself with Palo Santo or Sage and hold the intent to release whoever it is that is attached.

Burn essential oils to help raise and clear the energy in your home and yourself.

Call on Arc Angel Michael.  You can call on AA Michael to cut energy cords that bind you to people but make sure you ask for him to do so in all directions.  Left, right, front, back, top and bottom.  If this is a person you may have shared past lives with it's a good idea to add through all space and time.

If after doing this you still feel the effects of this person, I suggest really taking a look at yourself to make sure that you are the one that is severing and not putting back ties to this person.  Also, I would suggest going to a energy worker such as a healing touch or reiki practitioner to help you with this.  I know I can do some of the work on myself but I can't always feel that I've worked on myself so if I have someone else work on my to remove stuff then I know it's gone, and if it reattaches like some toxic people can, then I know it is more or less me making the re-connection and I have to look at myself for the reason and heal it so I can move forward free from the person.

Have a great week.  If you have ideas for the blog with a topic or a place please email me.

Mystic Monday

July 11, 2016

Hi All,
Today I'm going to change things up a bit.  We are going to talk about how to read cards.

Okay I know you're like, "What how to read cards in one blog?"  Well Yes, why not!  It might take a little more coffee than the average blog, but yes.  Let's do this.  I am going to pick some cards and show photos and explain the cards so you can see what I am talking about as I go through the reading.

The first deck I ever used was an Angel card deck by Doreen Virtue called "Healing with the Angels" Oracles Cards.  Here is a photo.  I picked this deck to work with first because, well, simply my Reiki Master used them and I liked them.

Sorry that this is sideways.  Before I start I say a prayer of intent.  Then I shuffle the cards as I think of a question I want help with.  I shuffle until I feel like I'm done.  Then I spread them out.  The next thing I do is sensitize my hands buy rubbing them together quickly like they were cold.  Once that is done I hover my hand over the cards and the ones that make my hand tingle is the one I pick.

The next step is turning the cards over and looking at the spread once I've picked the number of cards I want.  Usually I pick 5 just because that's my favorite number.  So this spread confirms what I was thinking this morning.  See I'm re-writing the book and I want to take some more classes or do a little more studying in other areas of healing and energy work.   The spread as a whole tells me that it will come in time, study, trust the universe and myself, take a retreat and then out of all of this harmony will come.  So now it's time to break it down then review it.

Card number 1.  Divine Guidance:  Here we see an angel holding her hand up to a heart shaped star. Hearts meaning love.  Stars give guidance.  The angel is a messenger of the Divine.  Now when I look up the card reading the book given with the cards it says, You are being divinely guided right now.  Pay attention to your intuition, visions, knowingness and gut feelings.  It is important you trust and follow this guidance.  Pay attention to the cards next to this card they contain important information for you.  Okay well, this one was the first one in the draw so there is only one card next to it.

Card 2.  Study:  Looking at this card we see a woman who could be an angel as the clouds around her do make out or create wings.  There is a rainbow of knowledge and it is either entering her hands or coming out of her hands.  To me this says spiritual study because there is no picture of books or a school or anything that would say formal education.  So now looking at the book it states, This card validates that this is an important time for you to learn new ideas or skills.  If you are already in school this card encourages you to continue.  Sometimes this is a learning phase in life.  

In relation to the first card Divine Guidance this tells me that I need to trust my intuition on what it is I am going to learn or would like to learn and when to do that.

Card 3.  Trust.  Here we see an angel holding a ball of light.  There is also the sun which reflects into the sea so there are three spheres of light which could represent present, past and future.  It could also be your guides, higher-self and the divine.  Light is whatever it means to you.  Most of the card is done in the color blue which is a communication color.  So trusting the guidance you are hearing or seeing.  When consulting the book, the meaning of this of this card is, To believe in yourself and have faith that God and the angels are with you.  Ask them for help.  Is card is about self trust.  The mistakes you have made have not eroded your true nature.  The angels ask you to trust in God and them  so they can help you trust yourself.

Card 4.  Retreat:  Looking at the card there is an amazing place in nature where an angel is soaking up the energy of the forest or place she is in.  To me means go somewhere.  For me it is spending time out in the forest or on trails in a park the closest I can get to a forest around here.  This is about self reflect by clearing your mind. The book states: You are pushing yourself to hard.  Rest is a part of the natural cycle.  Take time to rest and take that time to focus on your heart's desires.

Last Card.  Harmony.  Life is beautiful.  Everything is in the right place at the right time and life is good.  Okay and now the book says:  A troubling situation has been resolved.  This is about letting go of viewing a situation as troubled and see yourself and others through the eyes of your guardian angels.  Look past the surface and look into the beauty and life that shines within everyone.

As a finale step, I would look at the cards again taking note of cards that may pop out at me.  Then I give a prayer of thank you for the guidance I've been given.  And I usually document the reading in my journal.  This way I can keep track of patterns or things I might be missing.

Now when I am reading for a client I usually hear messages from the clients guides or a crossed over loved one.  The cards give the client something to focus on for me to do the reading.  Do I need the cards to do a reading?  No.  If you and I were to sit and do a reading without cards I could just say a prayer of intent and we would talk and I'd get information to pass to you as we talk.

So there is the steps to how I do a card reading.  Find a deck that you like.  I have several that I chose from depending on mood and the situation.  Then practice.

I thought about talking about saying a bit about all the violence that's been going on in the news but I didn't want to start a soapbox.  I will only say my prayers are with all those who have lost someone in a senseless way.

Have an amazing week everyone.
Blessings All,
Wendy
