Clearing your Energetic Body

In my forays into healing, and more recently into mediumship, learning how to clear my energetic body has become an important part of my daily practice. When I first started healing, I was trying to simply sleep through the night and stop having anxiety. Healing now has taken on a broader meaning, as I am healing myself not only for me, but also so I can heal and help others more effectively. Lately this has meant having a clear and shining energetic body. The importance of having a clear light body really hit home for me this weekend, when I went to Suzanne Giesemann's Serving Spirit Level 2 training in Savannah, GA. It was an amazing training and I'm so thankful she is my teacher. While...

Staying the Course

The past month has been a lot for us as a family. If I'm being honest, the past two years have been a lot. Some days it feels as if we've been charting a ship through fog. We know there is sun up ahead, clear skies, and beautiful days, and we just have to trust and have faith that we'll get to the other side, even when we can't always see it. I know I'm not alone in these sentiments - was January a tough month for a lot of us? From the cold, to the grey days, to seemingly never-ending Omicron and kids too young to be vaccinated, our plates have been full. At least, ours has felt that way. And yet, there are good...

Taking Time to Connect

Every morning when I wake up, I usually (if I'm awake before my family) have a choice - spend a few minutes meditating and connecting to God/Source, or get out of bed and drink a bunch of coffee. On my best days, I manage to squeeze in both of these things, with meditating coming first (!). I have seen in my own life how much of a difference it makes for the rest of my day. When I forget to meditate, or I get too busy to meditate, my days feel off-kilter, as they often did before I ever learned about a spiritual side of life. Then I never fully connect to myself or something higher, and I am scrambling about for the rest of the...

Be the Love

I would love to say that I sit down to meditate for an hour a day. I hope someday when life is calmer I'll have time to do that! But for now, with a young(ish) daughter and a job, I am only able to catch a meditation here and there. It's not always every day, and sometimes it's just a few minutes, but those moments help me recalibrate and awaken in ways no other practice in my life does. Last month I shared one of my favorite meditations, a light and color meditation from one of my teachers, Suzanne Giesemann. In it, we're guided through sending color and light to each chakra. Red for the root, orange for the sacral, and so on up to the...

Practice

As the weeks of the shutdown amass and the days blend together, I'm reminded this morning of the importance of sacred practices to connect to love, God, and peace. They are beacons of light. Your sacred practices do not have to be the same ones you preferred last year. They do not have to be the same ones your friends do. They can be the ones that best fit you and your heart. How will you know if it's a sacred practice? It will remind you of the love that you come from and the love that you are. It will have a quality of ineffability, and it will bring you some amount of peace. It's easy to put a practice on the back burner when life...
