Energy Vampires.....Leave You With Nothing in Reserve

These days I find myself back onto the subject of Energy Vampires with some further insights and deeper understanding of how they may be operating in our lives….some of the most common questions are, just what have they stolen from us, and where, how, why is it being taken?….

Well, this subject has come up for me time and again over these past few weeks. I have spoken to quite a few people as well, about the seemingly modern day problem of vampires and their own experiences with it.

For one thing….it appears to be getting worse (or at least we are far more aware of it) and there is an obsession (just look at what people are watching, reading and writing about) with vampires, ghouls, monsters and the zombies they create.

That’s right – many of us who have been leaking energy, under attack and drained of our life force are empty shells (zombies) walking around in a thick haze of nothingness.

The land that time forgot, these spaces in-between are places we humans get stuck in (feeling blocked/stuck in life?) once we have been accessed and then left ‘frozen’ (fear, pain, grief, loss, emptiness) by the many energy sucking entities roaming the earth.

This is taking place because we are allowing our essence or life force to ebb away with a steady diet of sterile, dead, plastic manufactured foods as well as walking around with guts that have never been sealed. But, this just goes hand in hand with our sterile, empty, plastic manufactured life, doesn’t it…..

Our guts, bodies, skin, inner and outer beings are not meant to be sterile (or wide open!). We are part of the living forces of this planet and as such should be fully caught up in all dimensions of aliveness taking place here.

The more we dampen down our internal gut flora, lessen our own immune defences and response as well as continue to consume food, water and air devoid of life’s essential elements – well, we just invite the energy vampires to take over, because let’s face it…..

If you’re not using it (life force), someone else is. It’s like an open door…..the nasty bugs, viruses and microscopic whatnot’s are just waiting for any opportunity (they are opportunistic organisms!) to jump in and take over.

Some of the symptoms of being drained by energy vampires are lack of interest, tiredness, unable to focus or concentrate, loss of creativity, change in facial features (especially eyes, skin), weight gain, hormone imbalance, IBS, chronic infections, and a sense of feeling badly (remorse?) about something…..

I have seen this come up repeatedly in people who reach their ‘maximum’ output where work/life/living is concerned. For example, they push themselves to do a little bit extra and then crash due to lack of energy.

There are simply no reserves (they have been siphoned off).

So….keep taking those antibiotics, drugs, Deadly Nightshades and the medication that you don’t need, instead of making changes to your diet, lifestyle and attitude. I hear zombieland is open for business…..

Turtle in the grass - out for a walk

Filling the Void - with more of myself

Today has been a day of deep magic – a lot has changed and shifted for me in a very short period of time. I have been fasting during the daytime – usually until I can sense a shift in my energy and then eating a small meal at the end of the day.

The reason I mention magic is because that is exactly what it feels like…it’s as if something other worldly yet quite wonderful has emerged out of the darkness, but it is of such a creative energy and bursting with potential.

From where I am standing right now, it seems as if this part of me or these aspects of my being have been cloaked and closed off for a very long time. The work I have been doing recently – such as taking my food to a whole new level (wild harvested etc.) – has been opening up an entire new dimension within myself.

I am still not entirely certain all that will emerge out of this – I know it has to do with my lifetimes past – the person I was in other times and the pieces of me that had been put down because of my beliefs and my work with herbs, energy medicine and intuition.

Perhaps more of this ancient knowledge will re-form in my sub-consciousness as I am continually freed from the constraints of times past – fearful situations and all things to do with being held back in any way.

Today I feel as if I am surging ahead in so many ways…not only with my creativity , but with my garden and each of my hopes, goals and dreams. Perhaps some of the fear has been lifted and is continuing to lift along with this heavy energy.

It has been a long time in coming – but once the energy triggers are in place, things will begin to move up and out, to help push out the darkness that needs so much to be displaced.

All that is left then…is to fill in the void with more of myself – what a lovely feeling that is!

Walking these Old Roads.....

It’s another day of frigid temperatures and changing energy. Right now we are all wondering where and when this will end….it’s unseasonably cold but at least it is dry. So there is a silver lining here in some ways.

With most things, when we look for the positive side and expect something good to come our way, we can find it. Perhaps it will be found in how we look at it or the way each issue is presented. But there is usually something wonderful to be found with each and every situation we are presented with.

I have learned long ago that everything happens for a reason – even when that reason is filled with dark or heavy energy – our bodies can often make something good come from it. This is sometimes part of the struggle in our daily lives. 

However, we humans have that ability within us. A sort of magical capability for inner and outer transformation within our own lives. We can make something good come of 'this' or in many instances, it lies forgotten at the bottom of a long list of worries and fears.

This tendency to cover up who we are – the things we are able to do and when we should do them has come at such a price. It has cost us our humanity at the expense of our own souls, we have left behind an energetic imprint of our own sacred art.

Perhaps this is the time, now is the place and certainly the space is being created to allow these ancient blueprints to rise up and take their place in our lives. We are such creative, alive and amazing beings who walk these old roads on this planet.

And we don’t even know it.

Strange Cleanse - Moving Up and Out

This has been such a strange cleanse - things are going right along just like any of the other ones we have done however, everything is different. Not one thing in our lives at this moment is the same as it was a year ago.

This one is far deeper - leaving me without words to describe some of what I am feeling, sensing and processing. It's as if this one takes me back to a time before words or speech. All I can do is go with the flow and marvel at how things are unfolding.

The changes we are going through are precisely because of these intensive detoxes. And to be honest, I can't wait to see what each day will bring. It sort of feels a bit like a whirl wind right now - things are shifting and moving - both physically and spiritually.

Today is day 19 of my detox. I hope to do a few more days this month but am really looking forward to some solid foods as I have been cooking up a storm! I love to cook during any cleanse and feel creative, inventive and in touch with my inner kitchen goddess.

Food is something that is never far from my mind actually - whether I am eating it or not on the day. I love to prepare and come up with new ways to combine everyday ingredients. So, that's what is really moving and shaking for us here.

Our creative spirits. This side of ourselves has been flourishing during these past few weeks - sort of waking up from the long dark winter and now finding it's own legs. 

As far a symtoms go I have all the usual ones - but loads of energy. The interesting thing is my leg (pulled muscle) gets better one day and then flares up again on another day. It is really curious how my body is choosing to heal at this time.

I know there is something very deep in there and I am delighted it is finally moving up and out. Perhaps, that about sums me up right now too - I feel as if some parts of me are only now moving up and out - watch out world!! LOL

Day 11 and More Then Fine - Terrific!

Now I am officially over the half way mark - it's day 11 and I am doing fine. My eyes are bright, my skin is a little bumpy, my energy is good and I 'feel' like myself. Just like any other day on an intensive, soul searching, energy pattern life altering cleanse! LOL

Actually I am more than fine - I am terrific. My mind just feels free, clear and creative. I would probably be best described as a bit of a creative spirit usually, but when I am cleansing it's as if there is far more of me present.

I was thinking this morning how nice it was to feel like this but at the same time how I also have to be prepared to take full responsibility for the new/buried/hidden parts of me that surface. What I have found over these past 2 years especially (intensive detoxes) is that my artistic side flourishes whenever I am doing a cleanse and I just want to make things, cook, draw, colour, write and anything else I can do.

It's not a bad way to be at all. Of course I am still keeping up with some cooking right now as I have other mouths to feed, rather then my own - so this morning when I was making a fresh loaf of bread for my daughter I was carefully considering what other things I might do with bread to create even better and more interesting tastes.

Then I moved on to drawing and painting while I got everyone and everything sorted for the day. Between kids, animals, garden and livestock it is full on some mornings - however, easy enough to get it all down to a routine (if everyone cooperates!).

Today I am really sensing that this detox is now shifting into the emotional, mental and deeper levels - and I am looking forward to this change. Perhaps that also has something to do with wanting to create and make things - other sides of me are more engaged.

As usual I am also systematically going through the house cleaning each day - by the time this one is over I should be in great shape - inside and out.

Dreams - Inner Worlds

These last few nights I have been dreaming profusely! Each night an on-going show of people, places and an unfolding story. My own - played out in multi-dimensional time and space. I dream a lot - and have for many years.

I have even recorded my dreams for over 10 years and filled many journals - I remember some of my dreams from early childhood (I don't remember much else) and have certain pivotal times in my life where a dream ushered in change.

On this blog I mention dreams a lot and over the years have many people coming to me to help them with theirs. I have long known how important dreams are and perhaps one most important fact that many people don't seem to realize; 

Your dreams are NOT a replay of the days events - well they are if you are a one dimensional shirt going to an office every day, working for some dark entity and your life revolves around poor food, alcohol and cluelessness. 

For those who are seeking and asking the questions as they try to connect with a higher path, your night dreams (as well as day dreams) should become something quite different. Once you place one foot on that path, your dreams will take you into their multi-dimensional realms unfolding before you, showing you the way to go, where you have been and what's next on the agenda.

There are a few aspects of the dream world that need to be known in order to sort out for yourself your own experience and access to this dimensional reality. 

1. Any vitamin deficiency will make dreaming difficult. Taking supplements (usually B vitamins) are not an answer, you must balance your inner levels through diet, exercise and healthy pursuits.

2. The dreams you have at night will unfold throughout the day, showing your their meaning - if the time is right. Sometimes an idea, thought or event needs to be seeded into your consciousness which will be useful in time.

3. If you are having disturbing or scary dreams this often means something quite different to what you think. Your body needs to gain your attention and will do just that - most often a frightening dream is part of your inner self waking up or trying to.

4. Dreams show you what is being worked on, sorted out, dismantled and rising to the top at the moment. I often wake up and start into mulling over some of my dreams only to make huge realizations throughout the day. Patterns are disassembling from the work taking place.

5. You will be dreaming of other worlds (such as within the organs, body systems etc.) - but all of this takes place on the inside of your body. Of course the body is full of these dimensions and we should have access to each of them. When we do not, it is because we are toxic in some way.

As you can see, you body is a very practical place, it will provide you with vital information, needed to walk your path. It will also show you exactly where you are on that path and how to proceed. These dreams are inner communication from your living tissues, they are not something to be taken lightly or ignored in any way.

By the way, we do not only dream a new life into being, we must go out and create it. The interesting part of this is that we cannot do any of this work without dreams, the ability to create and taking action. 

Dreams are therefore another form of action.

Solstice - our turtle on tour

Into the Shadows

The shadow world is really quite large and bigger than all of us - or more than we can see and understand as we are. However, there is much to be said about working on our shadow selves, this is an ongoing transformation of being when you are walking a higher path.

The work on the shadow places involves tasks, undertakings and creative jobs that are never really done. We are always a constant work in progress - as vast and endless as the expanding Universe.

It is of vital importance to give yourself jobs and interesting pursuits (or to push yourself to do them) those which engage or stimulate your creative side. Working on yourself in this way can move you forward towards your deepest dreams and desires as you follow new and different paths.

Of course, opening up to deeper levels of creativity often needs some physical assistance - the best and easiest way to do this is to include lots of physical movement in your day. The more active you are, the more you connect with or 'involve' other parts of your brain.

An increasing level of involvement from as many parts and pieces of your being (your core self) is a vital link towards achieving your dreams. As you move inwards towards your heart's desires, all of you needs to be present and accounted for.

Opening up inner doors to the dream world (both night and day dreams) is a little like opening Pandora's box. Or perhaps it is exactly that - an entire world of our own creation, molded and shaped by our thoughts and built brick by brick from our hard work and determination.

These dreams, your work and the purpose for which you are here on this planet are meant to align in perfect harmony - will you be ready to step into your place? 

It is time, your time has come.
