Care of the Soul
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010What is the soul?
My definition isn’t textbook or scientific, but from my heart. I understand the soul to be an energy field; an energy field that carries a unique signature that holds a distinctive code within it and also holds all of your evolution. No two signatures are the same, although all signatures come from the same source – the creative force of the universe.
In the physical world our soul as energy resembles the gaseous state. It’s never solid. However, it has solid aspects to it. In its most dense state it comprises and animates the physical body, but is more than the physical body. So it is you, is in you, and is around you. It extends around you and reaches out into the environment, exploring its surroundings. It is the major life force that embodies you and allows you to experience physicality.
Your soul also requires maintenance. Daily care and attention to the soul promotes divine health. Just as the body would deplete if attention weren’t given to food, water, hygiene, and exercise, the soul can also become depleted. The maintenance of the soul is necessary.
Neglect of this process has created very difficult life experiences for my clients. I feel I have dedicated my adult life to understanding the maintenance of the soul, so that with the help of my spirit allies we can clean up people’s energy systems and care for their soul.
All I Want to Do, Is Dream…
Thursday, March 4th, 2010The spirits see us as unlimited in what we can actually do to achieve wellness, happiness and health. The limits we feel are the limits that we create and then lock into our consciousness and subconscious. These limits often show up in our dreams. Taking our power back in the dream state leads to wellness in the “awakened” state of consciousness.
I often hear people be frustrated when they can’t remember their dreams. They feel as if they are not “up to par” or they are deficient in some way as a dreamer. Again this is a projection of our Western culture, that says you are “less than.” From a shamanic perspective there is a dismemberment that happens to the psyche in a dream. Dismemberment is a shamanic term that means to take someone or something apart so that it can REMEMBER its truth.
Human beings are naturally divine, capable, creator beings on the planet. However they forget this truth and go through life acting limited and unable. One of the dismemberment phases of dreaming is the dismemberment of these limitations and the ability to REMEMBER the power and the abilities that you actually have and are willing to take in to the dream time.
Shamanically speaking when a person has no memory of their dream, and sleeps soundly and deeply, it is because they completely dismember and go back into the light of creation. They rest there and they have the ability to reassimilate completely ANEW. However what most people do in the reassimilation process of reentry into their body is they put themselves back together exactly as they were before. They don’t take advantage of the power they hold to reassimilate healthy, or different. Shamanically speaking each slumber allows you to go back into creation and change what isn’t working for you. So instead of being deficient because you didn’t remember your dreams you were given the opportunity to return to the divine and be at peace. It is a beautiful state of deep reconnection.
I’d love to hear your stories of dreaming, dismemberment, and reassimilating. Just click on the “no comment/comment” link at the end of this post!

A Circle of Support from My Spiritual Team
Monday, February 8th, 2010This idea of a SPIRITUAL TEAM has really been fun for me. I can feel my team of spirit helpers surround me like a circle of support, a circle of love engulfing me. As I sit in my prayer room/office I am literally enveloped with this energy. Every wall, or table has something that depicts spirit. They may look like pictures or statues to someone else, but I know that the energy of that being is REALLY there. That the pictures and statues are imbued with the energy of the spirit being and the spirit being IS in the room with me. I am literally contained by their presence. It makes me smile. I feel safe, and I feel the companionship of these allies. There is an intimacy that only WE share. Trusted friends with history and heart secrets that only SPECIAL LOVE can describe. As I contemplate this and let it absorb deep within my cells I KNOW and FEEL that I am loved beyond measure. And as long as I accept this love, and recognize this love, it will have the power to affect me in the most miraculous ways. Just the feeling alone is healing. My entire body, mind and soul relax, fill with joy and peace. Ahhhhhhhh my team.

Your Spirit Helper “Team”
Thursday, February 4th, 2010I recently had a client that was very involved in basketball, a team sport. I found myself thinking about the whole analogy of team sport and how it relates to shamanism, correlating the idea that the spirits that surround me are my team. Just as it would be a burden and not very efficient to play a team sport with only self as the main member, so it is with life. It is a burden and not very efficient to not call upon the spiritual helpers that surround me. The “team” needs to be trusted with the ball, there needs to be communication, there needs to be such an understanding of the other members that a knowingness and certainty presents itself in every moment. I need to use them constantly as I navigate my life
Sometimes I actually comment to them, this is your job. I need you to do this for me. You do this so much better than me. My responsibility is to stay in a vibrational match to receive. If they do their part I must do mine and believe in the system working as a whole. I must enjoy the “game”, believing in the others while being a great team member. As in any team sport, the more the team works together in a cohesive group, the greater the trust, the easier the flow, and the more fun everyone on the team will have.
