Enjoy!} POST 1 :  What Power Loss Is and Why It Matters _ Oh hey, welcome back to the power loss blog series! In the previous post , you were asked to start contemplating and considering areas of your life where you have experienced power loss. If you haven't done that, stop. Stop reading this post, go back to the last post, and think about AND write down areas of your life where you've given power away. It doesn't need to be super specific just yet, because that's what we're doing today. You just need to write down like 1-3 word phrases like, "my daughter's birth," or "at work," or whatever. Today, we’re going to dig deep and really start to identify those areas of power loss. The purp

Enjoy!} -  Defining Power Loss Power loss, spiritually speaking, occurs any time that you relinquish the power and control that you have over your own life to someone else, whether by force or by your own allowance.  To put it simply, anytime you give an outside entity power over your free will, your body, your emotions, or your energy, whether knowingly or unknowingly, you can experience power loss.  Power loss can constitute:  - a loss of your vital energy - a loss of your sense of personal power over a situation or over yourself  - a soul loss  Let’s consider a common example of power loss:  SHAME When you share something personal, and another individual attempts to make you feel guilt or shame for what you have shar

First things first, if you're reading this post and don't know what chakras are, let me keep it simple. Chakras are circulating, concentrated centers of energy that makeup part of your energy body. The energy body is part of our existence that's energetic in nature - the sum of energy that makes up our physical and spiritual existences. Chakras are part of that body, like an organ of our energy, and they help govern, regulate, and inform the energy of your spiritual body, physical body, and energy body. 

How to Ground Yourself

Image
When people refer to grounding and being grounded, all that means is the extent to which your soul and your energy have a firm anchor within the earth and the energy of the earth.  It basically means how much your energy is pulled down to earth (in your lower chakras), compared to how much of your energy is in your head (in your upper chakras). Being grounded means that your soul is anchored to both your physical body, in your lower, rooting energy centers, and the physical earth.  Our human body is made up of energy, and that energy is organized in a number of ways, one of them including something called your chakra system.  Chakras are concentrated areas of circulating energy that helps govern and manage energy for certain parts of the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies.  You have lots and lots of these chakras, these energy centers, but for the purposes of this blog and for general life, we can boil them down to 7 main energy centers:  Root Chakra - red

What is Clairsentience?

Originally posted March 16, 2015 - Clairsentience is the psychic or intuitive ability of clear feeling . It’s the ability to feel that which isn’t seen. This could be the emotions of others, this could be the thoughts and intentions of others, this could be the physical pain of others, and it could also be the presence of dead people. All of these things have energy, and what it boils down to is that clairsentience is the ability to clearly feel energy . Emotions have energy, thoughts have energy, intentions have energy, pain carries with it an energy, and you guessed it, dead people are made of energy, too. The ability to feel ANY energy is clairsentience. This is naturally, inherently, the first and strongest ability in someone that is a healer, whether they know it or not. Clairsentience is your ability to feel what isn’t normally seen and, if you can describe what it feels like, you can put words and sensations to it. While intangible, our thoughts, emotions, int

Updated and revised where needed. - This is a long post, so buckle up! Before we get into attachment spirit talk, I want to first talk about what an attachment is in general, spiritually speaking. An attachment is something that is attached to you, spiritually and energetically and is probably something that you need to release. An attachment can be:  a thoughtform a behavioral pattern the energy that you were releasing that stuck around anyway an idea a hope or dream you had that didn't come to fruition your own shadow self other people's shadows soul fragments that weren't fully retrieved pretty much anything that has energy can be attached to your energy... This means, that an attachment spirit  is a spirit that is attached to your energy.  Typically, attachment spirits are earthbound spiri

What is an Energy Cord?

From the blog vault. Originally posted November 2014, and revised and updated where needed. _ Energy cords are energy links, basically like ropes or cords, that connect you to someone or something else.  It’s an extension of your energy, connecting you to the energy of some other thing. OR it’s the extension of another person’s energy, connecting to you. I kind of like to envision them like fiber optic cables, that travel through energetic time and space from you to other people, places, or things in this lifetime or in other lifetimes. Okay, this kinda makes sense....but what are they again? It sounds vague, I get it, so it's first important to understand that we, and everything with an existence within this universe, are made up of energy.  We’re made up of subatomic particles - electrons, neutrons, protons, and quarks, that have energy and have the capacity to shift and transform energy. This is often a property of anything at all that has matter - solid, ph

On shame and collective shame surrounding spiritual gifts

Image
I started practicing shamanism in the summer of 2013. At the time, I was a graduate student, studying psychology (animal behavior, to be exact) and TAing experimental psychology. My first child was a baby and I didn't really care about psychology, or my experiments, or any of it anymore. After I had her, I would come to campus when she was a baby (not maternity leave, I came back when she was 2 weeks old), and it really got me thinking about if I really liked what I was doing, and I didn't. I LOVED teaching, but in those months after she was born, I realized that I had only come to graduate school because that's what I felt I was supposed to do. I didn't know what I wanted to do, I just knew that this wasn't it. Around that time, I received a reading from my sister, Amanda, where it was revealed that I had a shamanic healing gift. I didn't even know what shamanism was, besides some stereotype I'd created in my mind. But nevertheless, I wasn't

Originally posted September 2015, this blog has been updated from the original. _ Yesterday, we talked about soul loss and retrieval and you might be thinking you need a soul retrieval, but how can you tell? It's a bit tricky because each person's experience will differ depending on what part of themselves has been lost, but there are some overarching cues that some will experience. As a reminder, when we are born, we are born into our body alongside our soul. Our soul is essentially our personal blueprint and the collection of things that makes us who we are, emotionally, spiritually, and experientially. The soul is made of many layers. Each layer is an aspect of ourselves, and each aspect comes together to form our entire soul - to form who we are as a person right now.
