Clearing Energy Attachments....Sea Salt & Water


So, this is my 7th week (I think!) working away at this – sea salt scrubs one day and brown sugar scrubs a couple of days later – to clear these energetic attachments that have been around in my life (running or ruining it!) for far too long.

I have done nearly everything over the years to remove energetic attachments from inside of my body and have discussed most of my efforts (fasting is always successful) here on my blogs. But, this phase of my journey has me working away at removing the outer level of toxins from the biggest detox organ we have – our skin.

Human skin is interesting in the way it is our body 'image' presented to the world – sort of the entire face of us. But also, it is our protective layer, a covering, part of our defences (read immune function) and most importantly a living ecosystem in it’s own right. 

Or at least it should be. Because, for most of us, that simply isn’t the case. 

This most important aspect of the skin which makes it ‘easy’ for spirits, orbs, energy releases such as dark entities and heavy energy to anchor onto us, is the fact that we generally believe our skin to be ‘clean’ once we take a shower and slather on some creams, lotions or potions…..

Of course this couldn’t be further from the truth. Taking a shower or a bath in toxic water will not make you clean, nor will it do anything to remove negative energies by breaking attachment sites. This can only be done with clean water (non treated) sea salt and sugar scrubs – literally removing these outer layers of skin each time…..

The key is to disrupt their (non beneficial organisms or energy attachments) communication base – which is especially important in the case of candida, viruses and their associated friends. You can do this on the inside of your body through fasting (again and again to re-set your gut and re-build the natural organisms).

Then on the outside of your body using the same methods….sea salt and something sweet to remove, disrupt and then re-grow the good guys. See….it’s all so simple! LOL

Change Is In the Air....


It’s been a great summer and I don’t want it to end….perhaps because I am still trying to get caught up with the weeding LOL. So, now is the time to be finishing up those loose ends and mucking out the summer stuff…

The one word that stands out to me here is END. In lots of ways when September arrives – this signals change – some kids go back to homeschool and lessons and the seasons shift into shorter days.

These day lengths are very important to those of us walking the spiritual path for many reasons the least of which is our top up of vitamin D that keeps up healthy throughout these coming cooler (and darker) months.

So….why might I be mentioning vitamin D, light and changing seasons to those who are seeking spiritual endeavours, you might be wondering…well, travelling these roads and staying healthy has long been associated with immune system function.

There are perils and pitfalls nearly everywhere, but none as dangerous and significant as those of a spiritual nature. I have often heard it said how there is no disease but only ‘dysfunction of the spirit’ and I tend to agree.

Our physical body, spiritual essence, energetic and emotional selves are not kept separate from one another. These are integral pieces of a whole being – where if one aspect is pulled down, the entire organism suffers as a result.

One of the things I am planning to do during these last few warmish days of late summer is to exercise, get outside as much as possible, drink my herbal remedies on my fast days and to continue to enjoy the summer harvest that is emerging from the weeds…..

I am also shifting my thinking into ways and means to continue to boost my immune system over the coming darker months….perhaps I will make up a new remedy (smile).

A Slow Summer Day and Digestion


When the sun shines, everything gets better. That about sums up how all of Ireland feels at the moment (at least where the weather is concerned!). It is great to finally get some sun, heat and a real summer.

And we are thankful for it. Now…..on to other things! LOL

This week I am back fasting actually (just a little bit) for a day or two here and there. It is the perfect weather for taking a break from food, because it is warm, sunny and easy to manage without spending time thinking about and preparing meals.

Really, now that I am thinking about it – I remember days gone by when I used to live in southern Ontario – and the heat! It was ungodly hot during some of those summers and guess what?

Digesting food was a little more difficult. It was as if my tummy slowed down or something….I just wanted to sip on water and clear fluids – but eating on those long hot days…..just left me feeling uncomfortable in myself.

Of course, there is always a place for food – but as the weather changes outside of us, it shifts and alters on the inside as well. On a hot day such as this, we all feel a little sluggish, we may move more slowly (to avoid sweating!) and feel like taking it easy.

Perhaps this is a great message from deep within the inner workings of our digestive systems (yes we are paying attention). These summer days are better suited towards refreshing fluids and little else…..thus making us feel more comfortable in the heat….

After all, digesting a meal generates more heat in an already hot body….it also uses up loads of energy to try moving food through and doesn’t help with our summer waistlines.

So….it’s back to a little fasting for me. And you know what? I feel better (and cooler) already.

Sitting On A Star....A Place to Reflect


It’s been a long week for me….I have felt really off the trail in some ways – as if I am ‘out there’ right now – very far away from home. For the most part, I have always been very far away from my roots….but not like this.

This week has been up and down energetically speaking. And I am feeling quite tired as a result of it all. Or perhaps I am tired because I am putting in some long days in the garden….have taken on another market day and have extra projects at home!

Right now I am trying my hand at several new things such as incubating a few eggs to see if we can get them to hatch. As well I am spending more time down in the barn with my animals….

I feel my level best in one of two places on a nice sunny day….in the garden pulling weeds while listening to the sounds of the children around the place. Or, in the field with the animals just watching them.

There is something so peaceful and grounding about these spaces and sounds around me…and of course they are not separate from each other. In fact the children, the garden and the barn are in relatively the same vicinity (you get one with the other!).

Yet, I am drawn to this domain whenever I need quiet, reflective space – so I guess that about sums up my past few days. Feeling quite pulled up and out there – in need of grounding.

My journey inward has taken me quite deep into my own cells – I can sense the vastness of the Universe through me. It’s a bit unsettling (and exciting!) for someone as earthy and grounded as I usually am….however…

I know the ancient mariners navigated by using the stars as their guide….it is time I learned to do the same.

A Shower of Blessings - A Universal Hug


It’s been another few days of fairly steady rain – of which I am attempting (and mostly failing ) to be philosophical about. I mean, it’s only rain and clouds and wind and the sun is no longer visible….so...

However, the air is really something else altogether! It’s light and fresh and uplifting. Today we were walking on the beach (soaked to the skin in 3 minutes) just to get a feeling for this ‘out take of breath’ blowing in from some far off place.

It’s like an elixir. Of life. A blessing....

The earth, no, something bigger and more far-reaching – the Universe – is releasing a new wave of energy I have never felt before; in this lifetime anyway. It’s as if a star has exploded around our solar system and these tiny particles of fairy dust are embedding themselves into our souls.

When I look around me or read what is taking place on the ground it’s often difficult to retain my focus on what is real. Often the darkness can pull at you and suck you into it’s hiding places.

But when I stand back (further some days than others!) and ‘feel’ instead of look and sense instead of ‘analyse’ – the magic is plain to see. Our lives are being affected in the most positive ways by a huge surge of energetic waves.

It’s like a giant Universal hug!

So….back to the rain, the wind and the clouds – the silver lining has been falling for days, washing over us like a breath of clean air – reassuring us, the Universe is alive and dancing in the light.

Love Endures All Things


I am sure we are all enjoying this sunshine….right now it just seems endless. I had forgotten what it was like to wake up in the morning to sun, blue sky and dry air. It’s so nice to have it back, even for a little while.

We deserve this weather (and many more weeks of it!) after all these years of rain, storms, wind (and more rain). I remember a couple of years ago, the entire month of July it rained – 31 consecutive days.

It was torture. It was cold. We have missed the sun and the light.

Of course, by no means are those rainy days behind us, completely. But, something is. Whatever it was that had cast it’s dark spell over Ireland, has shifted – we endured and now have broken through into the light again.

I am reminded here of my favourite saying in the entire world – and perhaps my favourite word too….

‘Love endures all things’

I even have a stamp with these words written on it and have them placed in strategic locations around my work space to remind me of the force love is. It also reminds me of the key word here in this phrase.

And it’s not love! It’s ‘endure’ – which means to be patient, to tolerate and to carry on without yielding. But, the most important thing here is the root or origin of this word…endure means to make solid.

To me, this has always meant that only love can bring our dreams into this reality…a wish becomes a dream, this then becomes a plan – it takes love (and patience without yielding) for that wish (dream, plan) to solidify or become real in this dimension.

To endure – looked at in this way, to me, has always meant to create. It actually requires love (do what you love) to really create something worthwhile on a solid foundation.

Love is a force all on it’s own.

She Is Back And Things Will Change...


I have entered the final stretch of my cleanse and am plodding forward – onwards and upwards as they say. This one hasn’t been as long as I have done in the past, however the depth it has taken me is amazing.

And it’s not over yet.

Once again I am looking forward to the few days post cleanse – when the results and energy shifting takes place and things really start to settle into their new energy patterns. This is one of the greatest rewards of doing a detox – you get to watch as your life changes…..

Sort of right in front of your eyes.

This world we live in appears to be in a bit of turmoil at the moment – or perhaps this chaos has not ever ended and has been an on-going thing. It’s a bit of a continuum along a very long path humanity has walked.

Out of this disorder often comes the space for the deepest and greatest change. When I think of earthquakes or tornados and other natural phenomenon – the earth has an agenda of her own and we need to get out of her way as best we can.

Perhaps this is taking place once again…I certainly am aware of an energy rising up – it’s always been there. However, not as present as it is right now – nor as strong as it is now and getting stronger.

I just have a feeling it is the presence of the Divine Feminine or Mother Earth or Gaia or whatever we choose to call her. She is back and things will change.
