Peek at new fairy deck card…just a peek

Q is for Fairy Queen. The card of power.

Would you like to be on my Blog Book Tour?

I’ve been involved in a few book tours here at Ronni’s Psychic Room, and I was thinking, why don’t I have one of my own in February for my book, Help! I’m Sensitive, since I am hoping to reach as many folks who need the information and tools provided in this book.

Do you have a blog where you can review my book? What’s in it for you? A free read, translates to free eBook sent over your way. Also, lots of traffic from my readers and students and lots of new folks from lots of linkage.

I am looking for blogs that are:

• non-competing with what I offer but complementary
• positive and uplifting
• deals with those who sensitive, empathic, or psychic
• have a good size traffic already

Unlike other blog tours I’ve been involved with, I am looking for positive reviews. I”m sensitive after all. One negative one and I will probably go under the bed and stay there. Hey, being honest here.

Interested? Please contact me on the Contact Me page to discuss, and if accepted, you will be placed on the blog book tour and assigned a day in February.

Very fun! Let’s get the party rolling…

A book on Boundaries and Focusing on the Solution

I was guided this weekend to head over to my local Goodwill shop. Now this wasn’t twisting my arm, because I LOVE that store treasure-hunting. Their book selections are hit or miss and I was grateful I landed on a day that was a HIT. Apparently, someone who is into psychic communication and other forms of healing cleaned out their bookshelf. I found several books that would assist me in what I want to teach right now including color healing and a few books on boundary setting, which is perfect for those that are sensitive.

The book on boundaries, Boundaries with Relationships by Charles T. Whitfield,  has some excellent tools, but perusing through it, I noticed I didn’t feel as excited as I did when I was reading the color healing books. Was the info bringing up too much upset? I could feel a ton of anger rise from inside of me from the many times I allowed others to trample or ignore my boundaries. I also felt a little slimed; even negative. What was happening?

I slept on it. No, literally. Woke up this morning and the book was under my butt, as well as my glasses that looked a little mushed out of place. Perhaps I was integrating the material more. But I also had a new awareness of why I felt uncomfortable. Many self help books are designed to package a set of tools. There are some good ones out there that present them well. After reading this one, I felt labeled, “bad,” (and there were plenty of examples given of what is good and what is bad). Crap, everyone has acted the bad part. Talk about unattainable.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are some excellent parts of the book also, but the slimey feeling was what I wanted to look at.

Guidance this morning was very clear: Focus on the solution and you feel empowered. Focus on the problem, and you are stuck IN the problem.

I see this when folks post videos or comments about what is happening that is wrong on this planet, whether genetically-altered food or bad politics. Hearing that news is like hearing about a case of animal abuse. I am left feeling upset, angry, and helpless against the problem. Helpless = slimed.

I like books and teaching that do not keep me stuck in a label, but helps me get out of that hole into a new role. I’m really digging Julia Cameron’s book, Prosperous Heart right now. I concluded that she teaches like how I want to, by story, and then by supplying a tool to help you empower yourself or shift your thinking. In her exercises, I focus on what I want and I feel hopeful and excited, versus what is not working. I don’t look at lack of abundance, but about what I want to create and the small doable steps. It is important to go back to the past for answers and beliefs that don’t work for you, but I sure don’t want to stay there. Reading her book, I am not labeled BAD because I SHOULD have more if I was just doing the SECRET right. I think I had the same reaction to that line of thinking while reading  the Boundaries book. There are enormous amounts of labels, time periods for how long it would take for when I was ‘better,” and most everyone I know are moving very fast right now in their healing beyond any so-called timetables. No one heals when they are stuck under a label, especially when they stay in their pain.

Perhaps it is my upbringing that is the button being pressed here. We were raised with psychology night and day. My father is a psychologist, my mother was a social worker. We were punished or admonished by psychological terms and labels. I would have preferred just being yelled at. Either way, what it produced in me at the time was a sense of dis-empowering; it was just another way to feel shame. I suppose it has the same effect as different educational programs that “weed” out people so only the strong can survive. I went to one design program that set impossible expectations and deadlines and gave out ample criticism. I walked away with not tools, but panic attacks. When I switched to a more unconventional college in another state, expression was valued, grades went from only A to C. The program was not only doable, but fun. And the result? I thrived! In fact, I still feel great love when I think about it. The school focused on the attributes of the students and brought them out (the solution).

Having any problem now, I want to focus on what tools I need now to create solution and that will give me more hope and self power. That’s moving forward out of the hole.

Flower Essences for Fear

The energies lately have been intense and bizarre. I’ve been doing a great deal of releasing of old stuff lately as different buttons have been pushed and poked at. Releasing is never really fun or pretty, but very necessary. With releasing usually comes FEAR. It’s one of those big emotions that blanket all the other ones we’ve kept inside. I’ve been guided back to Nature for support and help. Here’s some really good flower essences that help ease fear. Those with stars next to them are offered in my online shop on this website.

1. One of my favorite essences is Bach Remedies’ Aspen. It’s perfect for free-flowing anxiety, psychic contamination (when you are empathically picking up others’ fears.) A few drops under the tongue is all that is needed. This essence can be repeated often until you feel calm again. Bach Remedies can be found in most health food stores.
2. Fear of moving forward? Gilia* is a cool purple flower that is great for that. Take it with Squash* (the balls essence) and you will be forging ahead in spite of any fear.
3. Fear for loved ones and their paths? Take Bach Remedies’ Red Chestnut. It’s for the worrier.
4. Panic? That kind of fear? Take Rock Rose or Rescue Remedy, both Bach Remedies. If I fly, which I hardly ever do, I take the Rescue Remedy. I took this one when I recently made it to the dentist. Oooh, scary.

Enjoy the support of Nature! When I am lost in fears, one of the best thing I can do is head out to Nature to re-balance and to feel more grounded. When I am grounded, or calm, I can then see and think straight and can see what fears are legitimate, and which ones are just old stuff coming to the surface.

Woo hoo! School Starts Tomorrow!

2 more days to Fairy Online School and Excerpt

One of my newer and updated classes is Healing the Animals with the Fairies. Here’s an excerpt to entice you.

Welcome from the Fairies!

The natural healing of the animals is priority to the Fairies.

“We love the animals. Animals transmute energy to higher levels naturally. It is a gift they came in with. Some animals, more than others, carry knowledge of healing from other lives. The newer souls are more connected to the light and the higher frequencies. The older ones are learning how to transform into more light. Help them.”

3 more days until Fairy Online School and another excerpt

from the Rocks and Trees class:

Rocks hold the energy of a place,

much like someone’s watch or jewelry can hold the energy of that person.

Hold a rock. Call on it.

Concentrate on your very next step.

You will connect to a feeling or energy of a place, not a spirit.

It’s an energy you can move and carry.

Fairy Philosophy and Who are Fairies?

Last night I had the privilege of teaching a fairy class over at Animal Spirit Network during the Mastery Hour Cafe. I have to say, they are truly lovely people over there, and Carol treats her faculty beautifully. It was a fun class where I led participants on a journey to Indian Gardens to bring back some needed Fairy energy.

Who are the Fairies? was one question we discussed in class. I teach and talk about Today’s Fairies. They are not the stars of fairy tales that steal babies and grant wishes, or are only encountered behind certain oak trees. They are everywhere, because the Fairies are considered the guardian angels of Nature. Nature, like the Earth, are a part of us, not separate, and our whole journey is to reconnect.

One way to do that is through Fairy Philosophy. I will share two parts to give you a little clue and get you started.

#1 is finding the joy in the little things. It’s not that fake positivity we are taught to hide behind. It’s true joy,wonder and awe you had as a child.

#2 make the process fun:  If you are studying in school or busy working in an office, can you have fun organizing with different colored post-its? Is there a way to make the process fun? Back when I was in college, I had to take a four credit college science class. Most of the ones offered were boring and serious and I dreaded it until I found a class in Oceanography. I have to say, that was one of the best classes I ever took! The class was given in a worn-out classroom at the Jersey shore. It was a long drive to classes each time but it was worth it when I came into town and smelled the ocean air. Assignments were carried out sitting on the beach with sand between my toes. That class made a huge impression on me and helped me realize the best way to learn was while having fun. (That’s how Fairy Online School is set up!)

Want to learn more about fairy philosophy? Each class session, I will offer a different Fairies 101 Class Sampler. Check it out here to sign up and try out Fairy Online School.

There’s no room in spirituality for shaming

I had an odd experience in one of the groups I’m involved in on Facebook.  I lost my cool and finally had to speak my mind. I’m sure that is not becoming in a spiritual teacher, but I am only human…well, half human.

I’ve been discussing lately with family and friends the experience of being shamed growing up through organized religion. I was amazed at the common experiences among several different religions.

I grew up Jewish and married into a Christian family. In the Jewish religion, according to my Grandmother, there are enormous amount of rules in order to be a good person including how you cook and what utensils you use. I doubt very highly God cares if you follow any of them. We weren’t supposed to this or that and you had to have a Bat Mitzvah, go to Hebrew school, etc. etc. I didn’t do any of those. They just didn’t resonate.

Once I was married, I realized in the Christian religion there were even more rules to acceptance. And it didn’t matter what I did or believed anyway because I was already not going to be accepted because of the, well, Jewish thing. I already didn’t believe in many things my family of origin did, such as, when you die you just die and you live on in memories. After all, as a child, I had too many spirits visiting me at night. Who were they then? And the non-acceptance of Jesus as loving guidance or teacher was a tough one also when at 14 I had a profound vision of him standing in front of me when I needed love and support the most.

So, according to organized religion, I was in an in between state of non-acceptance. Not belonging to one or the other, according to the rules.

How does this all apply to the Facebook group?

I recognize the same rules and shaming underneath those rules among the “new age” group of thinkers. There’s a running belief you create your reality 100% so if you have horrible things happening in your life or negative people, it’s because you are thinking wrong and doing it badly. (I hate the SECRET). I liken this to what a little child believes that the whole world revolves around him and he can control it with his mind. Yes, we attract what we focus on and what we are learning. It is called Earth School after all. But the negative parent or friend being a jerk? Or the idiot who just cut you off in traffic?  That’s reality because there’s lots of people in the world we encounter in our lives. We don’t live in a bubble. The awful illness? What if you inherited or was born with a bad heart? Are you a bad thinker then? What if you are still in the learning state where you aren’t aware of what you are attracting or need to learn? Then you need compassion as you learn the tough lessons, and, as we progress and grow, sometimes the curriculum does get harder maybe because we crave more wisdom and more healing.

I guess the bottom line is there is perfectionism behind any religion with rules,  and perfectionism is about shaming ourselves for not being perfect or doing it right. That’s not possible or is it desirable. Besides, who decides what is right? A mean-spirited, judgmental God who punishes us with floods and famine when we are bad? Ooooh, that’s not my idea of God. When I visited Indian Gardens recently, I was in awe of the natural beauty. And you know what? It’s a forest that is beautiful in its wildness. There’s overgrown vines and fallen trees, things that shouldn’t be floating in the water, and paths that aren’t clear. That’s us. We are still beautiful even when we don’t follow the rules or are “different,”  or even, SHUDDER, make a mistake.  And we are still loved even with our wildness.
