What is spirituality?
Part 1 in a 3 part article series on How to be Spiritual

I was asked by someone “How do you be Spiritual.” After giving this a fair bit of thought, I realized it's tough for some people to be spiritual when so many people aren't even sure what spirituality is... so we will start there and share a little of what spirituality is.

Wikipedia's definition of spirituality is:
“Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality; an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.”

Peter Russell's definition of spirituality is:
“The essence of spirituality is the search to know our true selves, to discover the real nature of consciousness. This quest has been the foundation of all the great spiritual teachings, and the goal of all the great mystics.”

Dr. Larry Culliford from Psychology Today has even described spirituality as a “brilliant adventure park contains many related themes.” Dr. Culliford goes on to say that spirituality is better to be thought of as “a boundary-less dimension of human experience.”

Others have described spirituality as “a power in the universe that is greater than oneself.” It can be a way of finding inner peace within yourself. It has been defined as “a belief in a power operating in the universe, of the universe itself.” While even others have described it as “a sense or inner connection with all living things. A oneness with the universe and all that is in it.”

Spirituality is free of institutional boundaries. You do not have to belong to a church or religion. It has no rules or laws, limitations, beliefs, attitudes, actions, and practices. It is what motivates you, gives you a reason to get up in the mourning. It can stimulate you right down to your deepest inner being, your soul. Spirituality can effect how you think, act, feel, behave, and interact with others. Each individual can have a deeply personal experience, and it will be completely and totally different than anyone else will experience - if we allow ourselves to let it grow and expand our existence and our understanding of others and ourselves. It is our true self, the essence of our being that helps us to push ourselves beyond our current limitations to have the greatest experiences in our lives – and each time we push ourselves further, our experience will be greater than the last. It is truly a journey of self-discovery and every person's journey will be completely unique.

This is just the start of the journey and it will continue to grow and encompass you and all around you as it grows in you. You will become more in tune with the vibration of the universe and with others of like mind. You will be come more tolerant of other’s ways of spirituality and more accepting of their thoughts and ideas. You will become part of the universe.

Blessings light and love,

”Do you know who I am?

I say "Namaste" because I like what it means, not because I am Hindu.
A lot of people think I am Christian because they think I talk about Christian values...
I've been asked if I am Buddhist, just because I have discovered inner peace...
A lot of my friends are Pagans and they think I am one too because
I say that nature is my idea of going to church...
Do you want to know what I really am? It's very simple.
I don't need a label to define me.
I am a piece of the Universe, Sentient and Manifested...
and I AM AWAKE...”
~Paul Enzo Hillman

Creator,
We thank you for the laughter in our souls.
We thank you for the joy in our hearts.
We thank you for the playfulness in our spirits.
Most of all, We thank you as our bodies heal.
and so mote it be...

Here is a beautiful and powerful magical chant I would like to share with you.
Practice saying this chant out-loud when you
have few minutes of calm. Magic can be fun as well
as real !

Enjoy :)

Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Everything that’s to my desire
Day in and day out
My abilities I do not doubt
Goddess I look to you as you look to me
My spirit floats with you oh so free.
Oh great God you gave me this power
I rise my spirit from this place
To be with you face to face just to tell you ,
I now want to go further and dedicate myself
to this path of love this very hour!

Blessings, Light and Love xx

One of the most difficult choices we face is our relationships is when to hold onto someone and when to let go.

Sometimes we hold onto unhealthy friendships because we’re afraid of losing the person. Other times we hold on because we hope that things will get better. And then there are times we hold on because we don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings.

Whatever the case, here are some helpful questions to ask yourself to assess whether or not it’s time to let go:

Does my friend support me in all that I do?

Are you supported by your friend? Are you encouraged to grow through positive feedback or do you feel that your friend is competitive and critical? Many times friendships go bad due to jealousy.

Remember, it’s not about you. Healthy relationships should support you to become all that you can be without fear of out shining one another. A healthy friend will not only push you to succeed, but will be genuinely happy when you do.

Can I trust my friend?

Do you feel comfortable sharing freely with your friend, or do you find that you edit your conversations due to lack of trust? Is your soul whispering to you that you should not trust your friend?

Often we wait for concrete proof to substantiate what our intuition tells us about an untrustworthy friend. If you feel it, know it to be true. It is time to listen and allow your intuition to guide you.

Am I at my best when with my friend?

Do you like who you are when you spend time with your friend or do you find that you become someone else when in her presence? Do you behave differently, allowing your values and personality to shift?

Often, when engaged in an unhealthy relationship, we will mirror behavior out of our need to please and recapture the approval of the friend gone bad. Look deeply and acknowledge if this is taking place.

Is the friendship energy equally shared?

The difference between a friendship and an acquaintance is the equally shared attention, affection, energy and support. Does your friend reciprocate or take advantage of what you bring to the relationship? Do you feel that your generosity is taken advantage of ? Is your friend is never available when you need her?

If you are always giving support to your friend yet receive little or nothing in return, you are in a one-way relationship, which is not a friendship at all. It’s time to make room for friends who will give as much as they take.

If I met my friend today, what would I think?

Many of us maintain friendships simply because we have been in the relationship for years. Yet, if we were to be introduced to this person in the present moment, we may find that we have nothing in common.

Ask yourself if you still share interests and values. Look at your friendship with a fresh perspective. This person may not be someone you would want to develop a friendship with at all if you met her today.

Has my friend become toxic to my world?

Toxic is an extreme word, but the behavior in such relationships is often extreme. Toxic friends are the friends who drain your energy, are unsupportive, degrading and never share the friendship energy.

In comparison, a rewarding and healthy friendship is one in which you feel uplifted, supported, encouraged and the friendship energy is equal.

How to Let Go of a Friendship Gone Bad:

It is time to say goodbye to the friends who no longer elevate you and enhance your life. Breathe. Stand tall. Be Brave. It is time to stop taking care of an unhealthy relationship. It is time to take care of you.

Give yourself Permission

When any relationship is defined as negative, exhausting or toxic, the healthiest thing to do is to remove yourself from the situation. It seems there is an unwritten code that tells us we must be loyal to a friend even when the friendship is not doing anything but draining and sometimes sabotaging us. Why is that? We are certainly told in regard to all other relationships to set strict boundaries. Just us we end other unhealthy relationships or even business partnerships, it is necessary to end friendships that have gone bad.

The Break Up

You may either chose to have an open conversation, write a letter or simply let the friendship fade away. Be forgiving, loving and kind and do not look for an answer from your friend. Remember, you are finished spending energy on an unhealthy relationship. Your communication of your feelings should be just that.

Moving on

Life experiences will change who we are and as we change, we alter the people we attract into our lives. It is time to make room for those who align with who we are today. Just as clearing your closet of things that no longer fit you leaves room for more fabulous clothes, clearing your life of friends who hold you back and drain you will only make room for new and fabulous friends to come into your life.

It is time to embrace the idea that by releasing and letting go of a friendship turned bad, you will create more space for positive change within you. Our life is a result of the choices we make. Own that you are making the best one for you in this present moment. Let go, move on. You will find that you shine brighter and soar higher in all that you do.

ANGEL & CRYSTAL ORACLE CARD READINGS

I have been reading Angel Oracle cards for quite some time now so I have decided to offer Angel & Crystal Oracle Card readings here. For a basic half hour reading the cost is $30.

Along with working with the Angels, I work with the crystals and the five elements (earth, fire, water, air and spirit) when I am doing the card readings. I have put a bowl with the stones that I use in my window where they get plenty of moonlight and are fully cleansed and charged before each reading. I usually only “pull” cards late at night or very early in the morning when it is quiet and peaceful, and I only pull cards once or twice a week.

If you would like a reading you can request one here and I will be happy do one just for you. I like to combine crystal oracle cards with my Angel Card readings.

A basic reading consists of:
• Pulling Two Angel Card and One Crystal Oracle card for the person who requests a reading and depending on the depth of the cards needing to be read, if there is more time I will pull another card to a max of 6 cards.
• Preparing a Reading page with the names of the cards pulled, with a brief intuitive description from the cards.

I love reading cards and have always felt a connection to angels. I conduct the readings once per week and send the reading page within 2 days after the reading.

If you wish to have more than the basic reading we can arrange to do a more in depth reading. I do readings of 3 to 11 cards whatever fits into the allotted time.

3-6 cards=$30 1/2 hour
3-11 cards=$90 1-1 1/2 hour

We use square or e-transfer for convenient payment!

~ A Story of Remembrance ~

I lay trembling and weak

Within my dark cave of abyss

My Spirit was weary and I had all but forgotten

I had all but, forgotten the reason for my being

It was then that I heard you whisper 'Remember me'

Your words were buried within the depth of my despair

I dared not face you ... so I turned away

But, you said: 'Remember me'

I was cloaked within the armor of my own misery

Weighted down, defeated and defiled

But, you said: 'Remember me'

I turned away from you ... so that I may not see your Light

As I sank deeper into the Abyss

And yet you said: 'Remember me'

I was drowning in desolation and desperation

Could it be that I was not worthy of your Love ?

And I heard you pe*****te the darkness ... as you said: 'Remember me'

I had become the very Abyss ...

I despised Myself in despising You ...

And still you said: 'Remember me'

Your voice no longer a whisper ...

Your voice rose once more: 'Remember me'

Your voice shattered the cave of abyss ... as you said: 'Remember me ... As I Remember You'

I raised my head ... to see if it were true ...

Could it be ?

Could it be that I was no longer alone ?

Could it be that you had not forsaken me ?

Could it be that I was worthy of your Love ?

My eyes were blinded by the Radiance of your Light

And it was then that I saw ...

It was then that I saw My reflection in You

As I looked at Myself ... I Remembered You

Yes, I looked at Myself and Remembered You

For, it was only then that I Remembered You.

~ Ganesh Perin~

This is an Age-old story ... A story of Humanness and Humanity ... A story of Redemption and Remembrance.

It is not a story of loss but, of Triumph ~ Thank you for allowing me to share it with you.

Angel Feather

I am an angel feather
Sent from God above
To serve as a reminder
Of His most gracious love.
I’m from your Guardian Angel
That God assigned to you.
It fell out of her struggles
As she protected you,
Each time you nearly stumble,
Each time you nearly fall,
Thank God and all His angels,
For answering your call.

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy,

I awoke and saw that life was service,

I acted and behold,...service was joy.”

Someone asked me how I can let all the "bad" of yesterday go and start today as though nothing "bad" had ever happened... I say, "Yesterday is the past and the past can't be changed. Tomorrow is the future and there is nothing I can do about that either. But today is a fresh day, a clean slate. All I can do is live today in the most beautiful way that I can possibly live it. So I let go of yesterday and not worry about tomorrow and just be present in the present, fully and completely!" This is my new page in my story. :) Hope you can find that new and clean page in your story and write a great new story without repeating yesterday in today. Be Blessed today!

Are you enough? Who's asking?
You? Yes, you are enough!
Others? That's judgement!
You are AWESOME at being YOU!

Each of us has the power and responsibility to heal ourselves, to be our own medicine man or woman. Awakening our innate powers of being, loving, knowing, seeing, and healing involves ongoing work at all levels and in all dimensions of our self. Exploring the range of rhythms and emotions, achieving insights into our conditioning and ego, moving through the energy levels of spirit—these are all activities to be integrated into our daily lives.

March forward with confidence and faith, knowing you were created for a reason.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

If each grain of sand were to say:
One grain does not make a mountain,
There would be no land.
If each drop of water were to say:
One drop does not make an ocean,
There would be no sea.
If each note of music were to say:
Each note does not make a symphony,
There would be no melody.
If each word were to say:
One word does not make a library,
There would be no book.
If each brick were to say:
One brick does not make a wall,
There would be no house.
If each seed were to say:
One seed does not make a field,
There would be no harvest.
If each of us were to say:
One person does not make the difference,
There would never be love and peace on earth.

OUR DEEPEST FEAR is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God! Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presense automatically liberates others.

The inner part of me--my soul--is eternal. It's been here before my body was formed and shall be here long after my body returns to the earth.

If I am not interested in caring for this part of me with deep kindness and powerful love, what am I doing?

FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME... THERE WAS YOU & I
Though there’s a lot of mystery surrounding soulmates here are a few common signs that he may be the one:
•Soulmates usually appear after a difficult period in your life to help you heal, for instance: heartbreak or loss.
•When you lock gazes, the connection is almost electric.
•He calls or SMS's you within a few seconds of you thinking of him.
•You just 'know' what he’s thinking even if he’s in another location.
•You understand his moods.
•You don’t need to explain things to him, the understanding is intuitive.
•You’ve had dreams of him before you even met.
•You get a feeling of deja vu around him, almost like you’ve known him forever or in a different lifetime.
•In some ways both of you are identical, but in some ways, absolutely opposite to one another. This could be a clue into what you need to learn from him.
•You may face certain obstacles or challenges together as spiritual tests, or you may have already faced similar trials in your past. It’s not unnatural to find soulmates sharing similar histories before meeting.

»Recognize where you have suffered
pain or have caused it yourself.
Forgive yourself and these human
Beings.
Recognize where you have
given your love and where you have
received it.
Say thanks to yourself
and to these human Beings.«

THE ARCHANGELS

Everyone is psychic.

Some people are more so than others and every one of us possesses this ability.

You do. I do.

And we can further develop, train, and direct, what we already possess... expand our psychic potential until every measure of our lives is vastly improved.

Psychic abilities are PRACTICAL and USABLE.

This is true because psychic abilities are merely extensions of faculties normal to us.

For instance, clairvoyance extends the ability to see, clairaudience extends the ability to hear, telepathy - the ability to communicate, precognition - our sensing faculties, deja vu - past memory recall.

Every psychic ability you've ever heard of is but an enhanced version of what is normal and typical for each member of the human race.

So what does it take to extend our faculties?

irst and foremost, a positive attitude. . . plus the ability to relax and imagine and trust.

Faculty extensions (what most people refer to as "psychic abilities) allow us to access multiple layers of information, sometimes simultaneously.

They enable us to reach that wellspring of inner knowingness which resides in the deeper depths of our being.

Our intent, that directive force of our attitudes and beliefs, determines the type of results we can achieve once we accept our psychic potential and begin the process of developing this inner resource.

As with any other talent, practice makes perfect.

You may notice that the process of extending faculties normal to you has a special "FEEL" to it.

This feeling signals the coming together of your head and your heart.

When the energy of head and heart join and function as one unit, all aspects of yourself unite as if teammates working for the same goal.

AMAZING things occur when this happens.

You become healthier, happier, more loving and patient, wiser; and you attract more friends and exciting opportunities.

Literally, to be alive, truly alive, is to be psychic.

Merry Meet :))))

So as I was falling asleep the other night I could hear my guides clearly as I so often do right as I'm about to take my voyage to dreamland. I wish they would come about 10 minutes earlier so I could be more coherent with what they are saying and write things down, but I honestly think they enjoy me trying to articulate their messages.

So the message was about religious tolerance, well more about one religion, spirituality. It really matters not what religion you choose to call yourself, but how spiritual you are in your connection to the Divine.

Right, ok, not an original idea, that was my argument. I'm not going to write this because it's been said before.

Alas, here I sit writing it because they keep nudging me. :))

It is something I would love to see in the world one day, a world where everyone cared more about their connections to the divine then what label or group they identify with, because really, the labels do not matter.

That being said, something that I had to do on my Spiritual path was to research different religions. If this is not something that you have already done, I highly recommend it. Look at the different divine representations within each of the religions. What you will find is that many of them are quite similar. The stories are even very similar and you will notice many common threads among them. So what has changed between all these religions? Our cultures, locations, and interpretations have defined these religions that everyone follows. When you look at all of them, pull out what you identify with most and then follow that, discard what makes you uncomfortable and what you don't like. Spirituality is a journey of self truth and your connection with the divine. Don't be afraid to make it your own. :))))) You have permission. :)))))

Your honesty, love, and light will shine through clearly and they will always hear you for that's what they are there for. I work with Jesus as an ascended master, many of you know I work closely with the Angels, Isis is my matron Goddess, and I have guides that help me find my way. Speak to them however you are comfortable. Honor them however you wish. Most importantly though, love them and know how much they love you. You will never walk alone.

Much Love and Many Blessings,
