If you met and old friend you hadn’t seen in many years you would probably ask them how they have been and what is new. Think for a moment and realize what answer you would give to this question if asked by someone who hadn’t seen you in some time. You would probably tell them about things such as job changes, promotions, moving to a new house that you are proud to have acquired or a particular neighborhood, and of course you would probably talk about your significant other and then your kids or grand kids. Hmmm. That is a lot of catching up and good information however there is no mention of “The Self.” The most important or what should be the most important thing to you. What about changes to the self?

Take away all the superficial things, except the kids because they are of course not superficial, but take away talk of a new job, the expensive vacation you were able to take, the new house, new cars, and now tell me what is new with you. Have you changed your way of thinking? Have you changed your way of treating people? Have you changed the way you see things and view life? Have you realized an importance in having lots of joy in your life? Have you changed your view on what are the important things in life? What is new with you?

Many times I hear people ask why this person or that person treats them badly. I often answer the question in a similar way and that is that it is not really about them. Most often it is not. Many times people are unhappy with their lives or a situation they are in and it is easier to direct their anger for their situation onto someone else than to look in the mirror and admit they are unhappy with the man looking back at them in the mirror. I giggle a little bit right now because Michal Jackson’s song “Man in the Mirror” just popped into my head and it is actually perfect for what I am trying to say. “I’m looking at the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer, if you want to make a change, make a better way, then look at yourself and then make a change!” Sorry if the lyrics are not just right…I typed it as the song was playing in my head.

The self is so important but many people go through life never truly realizing that. Sure they understand at times the need to put themselves first but I am talking about seeing the importance of the way they treat the self and what they do for the self. The self have many needs but the most important one is LOVE. Unconditional love of the self and I am talking about the kind where you take the time to forgive the self, understand the needs of the self and then actually try to meet them. Once a person can satisfy the self then they no longer will need to lash out to hurt another because they will then be happy with themselves.

The next time you find yourself asking the question of why some people are hurtful to others, take the time and see it as an opportunity to look and see what need their behavior may point to within your own self, instead of looking at them and what their problem could be. Resolutions of problems with another always start with changes within your own self. Once you are satisfied with yourself you will not care two cents what negative thing another does because when The Self is happy and healthy there isn’t a negative thing that can affect you.

A big key to manifesting is making sure that you are a vibrational match for what you are trying to manifest. That is actually the reason why some who teach the law of attraction tell you that you must be able to feel what you are attempting to manifest. What I mean is that if you are trying to manifest love into your life you must actually be able to feel as though you already have that and are currently living it. If you are living a live of love and joy where no matter what is going on in your environment you feel much love and joy and you spend the majority of time living from your heart and not your head then you will find that you will manifest the love you want because you are a vibrational match to it. Of course if you are living in anger, frustration and resentment you can understand that your vibrations will be a match for those things. So obviously you will not manifest love if you are instead a vibrational match to hate, anger and resentment.

Sometimes it can be or feel hard to get to a place where you feel like you are “Mary Sunshine.” If you are deep in some negative vibrations either because of emotional issues of your own or emotional issues of others affecting you, then it can seem like an impossible task but you have to believe in yourself and that you can be that happy-go-lucky person you envision. You may need to practice detachment. Be detached from those things in your environment that are really not your problem but the problems of others. Practicing detachment goes hand in hand with practicing acceptance. Acceptance of all things. Acceptance of those things which you can not change, a belief and understanding that everything that is and is happening is suppose to be happening. An understanding and belief that at this time and any given time everything is exactly as it should be. Stop living from your head! Stop trying to figure out before making a move whether you should or shouldn’t based on probabilities. Stop trying to figure out the future before hand because you will spend more time thinking than actually taking action.

Besides refusing to play the usual negative games with family, friends and strangers there are other things you can do. Practice acceptance, gratitude, and forgiveness. If you aren’t familiar with these…I will call them universal laws…you can search channeling’s on lightworkers.org as well as my blog. Even better, get the book by Dan Millman called The Laws of Spirit which is a small pocketbook written like a fictitious parable. Watch your thoughts closely and anytime you find yourself beginning to think negatively about a person or situation stop yourself immediately and instead think of something good and positive about that person or situation. In the beginning it may feel like you are faking it but soon you will find it begins to come more naturally to you and feels good to you as well. Do things that put you in a good and happy mood such as listening to your favorite upbeat music, doing something that will leave you feeling pleased with yourself like cleaning and organizing your closet or rearranging your kitchen cabinets. We usually put off doing those things but yet tackling a project like that will leave you feeling very good and positive about yourself that it will increase your vibrations. Fast for a day or two. Not many people mention this as a way to increase your vibrations but fasting will give your body a break from all that work it has to do with digestion and instead allow it to do some housecleaning (within the body) of it’s own and will leave you feel refreshed and lighter. SING! Yes, sing. Sing in the shower or hum a favorite tune to yourself. Not only will it increase your vibrations but it will also do wonders for your throat chakra. Be the creator God you are. Do something creative like arts and crafts or even a puzzle. Connect with your friends and neighbors. Visit a couple of your neighbors just to chat or if you don’t know your neighbors well enough for that then maybe it is time to attempt to get to know them better. Connect with friends and loved ones you haven’t talked to in a while. The surprise contact will bring joy and happiness to both of you.

There are many things you can do that will help to increase your vibrations and what I have listed above are but a few. I am sure you can think of many more things and activities that will help increase your vibrations including prayers and chanting mantras.

The Lesson of Acceptance

I was going to title this post “Acceptance of Others” which is actually the title of a channeling I recently read. I decided that “Acceptance” would be a much better title for this post because when I think of acceptance I not only think of acceptance of others but acceptance of all things regardless of whether they are things that can be changed or things that can not be change, or possibly should not be forced to change. Some may think acceptance and tolerance go hand in hand but really they do not. You can be tolerant but still not be in full acceptance of things and people.

How many of you have friends or family members who do a certain thing that you do not like? Possibly you hear yourself saying under your breath “Ohhh, she/he so annoys me sometimes!” And what do you do? Some times you try to discuss the issue with the person and then there are times when you decide to actually avoid a person because some of the things they do you find hard to swallow and even harder to keep continually biting your tongue. Yup, been there! For many of you who have been on a spiritual path for a while you recognize it for what it is. You tell yourself that it is okay because they are exactly where they are suppose to be at this point in their lives. You attempt to feel compassion for their situation because of the understanding you have of what is truly going on and not just the illusion. You tell yourself you will stay true to yourself no matter what and just ignore those things they do. You do all of those things and still deep inside you may feel annoyed and that you don’t have much tolerance for putting up with their crap for much longer. What is needed then? Acceptance!

The point you are at you need to learn to accept them for who they are even if you think they are the most screwed up person you know. Accept them for who they are and where they are at in their lives. Don’t look at them focused on the things about them you feel need to be changed and fixed. It is not your job to fix them or anyone else. That is only truly a concern of theirs. Do not think that just because you have the knowledge and expertise to help solve all their problems that it is your duty to step in and affect change in them. Again, it is not your duty to do that.

This may be a tough lesson for those who often help others because it is a part of their soul purpose. You may be feeling like you are flip-flopping back and forth. There are those you help who come to you or who are energetically drawn to you for help and of course that is fine. They are ready for that help and you give it to them generously. Then outside of the people you are put together with for the purpose of helping them are others who you are just to stand back and accept them for who they are and see and understand that it is not your job or duty to jump in and try and change them, especially if it is just not their time. They will come to the places they need to be in life in their own time just as you can remember that you resolved emotional issues and completed lessons when it was time and you were nudged by unseen forces to do so.

I can hear now someone saying to me “But, he did this to me and I didn’t deserve that!” or “But you don’t understand, she’s always doing this and the other thing to me!” Yes, and so? Think of this. If we never make any mistake or did those annoying things that others hated, what would we learn from and how would we eventually be able to correct ourselves and our behaviors? I am sure when you were in grade school you would not have appreciated a teacher who would berate you every time you got a math problem wrong. Hmmm, anyone out there have any anxieties related to math from those times when your Mother or Father would help you with homework and yell and get frustrated with you? Did you appreciate it? Did it help you learn? No, but you probably did learn that it was bad to make a mistake and that making mistakes were not acceptable. How did that make you feel, even now thinking about it? Do you really want to make another feel that way? What would that teach them and do you really think that would help them? No, of course not.

Use your own experiences from the past to help you to be able to show and give acceptance to others. Especially children because it is not to late to show them the way by leading by example. I am not saying do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I am saying do unto others the way you know to be the way of a higher spiritual being that you are.

For those of you who struggle with emotional outbursts at time like me and have been consciously working on a cure for this I think I can be of help. I have been working so, so, so, so, hard lately that often the thought of what of myself I have been putting into it brings me to tears in a good way.

When we suffer those emotional outbursts and get angry, frustrated, annoyed, infuriated even it is because of two things. FEAR and HABIT. Just as habit has me smoking cigarettes, habit too will cause emotional outbursts at times. You may ask yourself “What is this THING that takes control of me so suddenly I can’t seem to stop it before it arises?” I asked that so many times in the past it would make your head spin.

There is habit in the reaction and the emotional outburst is the reaction based on fear. That is the first thing to understand. The second thing to understand is that it is NOT as simple as “just don’t let your self get upset.” The person that tells you that is the answer and solution is not helping you but instead trying to convince you that there is something wrong with you that is not wrong with them. Phish! Actually there is a difference in the two of you but it is not that one of you has more restraint or control. Ask yourself why you react to a certain situation the way you do. I will answer it for you. FEAR. Ahhh, but I bet you may be saying that you are no longer that being living and being controlled by fears. Yes, that may be true as it is true for me as well. I don’t have those fears any more. For example, if my child is fooling around when I am trying to get him ready for school eventually I get frustrated and annoyed and if he continues to refuse to take seriously that time when it is time to focus on getting ready I have an outburst of emotions….aka I yell, threaten, or do the take away. Laugh if you will but I know the Mother’s out there reading understand what I speak of very well. This is not support group time though but instead a time for a final solution that will free us all. Back to the scenario… it was not his lack of focus on getting dressed but instead the fear that use to be associated with what that situation would cause. That situation use to mean that his fooling around would cause us to be late. Then that would mean he would be late for school. That would then mean an uncomfortable conversation with a teacher who had no sympathy for what I went through to get him ready for school. Okay so that is the fear part. But as I said that fear is no longer an issue because I am not that person any more that is so worried about displeasing another. I am the person that knows and realizes as TRUTH that my son being late for school, although possibly disruptive to the class and inconvenient to the teacher, is NOT the end of the world and no real cause for fear and anxiety on anyone’s part.

So, why the emotional reaction then? HABIT. How long was that the standard reaction? How many years did I react out of fear of displeasing someone and that then led to me exhibiting a negative emotion? Oh, a very long time. So what was really created during that time? A HABIT! So now what we are left with is that habit still to get rid of. A reconditioning of ourselves is a way you can think of it. Reconditioning ourselves to a reaction that suites who we are now. If you have changed and are no longer the person you use to be and have realized your higher God-self then of course everything else has to change as well. It’s like saying you can’t be God-like and still at the same time be Human-like. See it for what it is…a conditioned HABIT and start the process of re-conditioning yourself. I will leave you with an important fiat or mantra, I guess you can call it, which you can use. It is one that I use throughout the day to not only remind myself of who I am but to help to expand my awareness. “Peace be still and know that I AM God!”

Let’s think of the whole for a moment. What I mean by that is let’s think about everyone related to spirituality and ascension. Are you on a spiritual path? Is your neighbor? Your Mother? Your Father? Your Brother? Your Sister? Are they all on the ascension bandwagon? Well I don’t need to know you personally to be able to answer that question for you. The answer to all the above questions is a big huge YES!

Are you at this blog right now because you are an empath looking for some answers and maybe a little insight that will keep you going and not waiting to jump off the nearest bridge? Possibly you think maybe this post doesn’t apply to you because you are not on a spiritual journey. Maybe you don’t even believe in a higher source. Can I be the first one to tell you that you are indeed on a spiritual path? Congratulations!

There is always more than one way to skin a cat. There is never just one way to do something or for something to be accomplished. I use to think that I had to hurry up and get busy and start reading lots of spiritual material so I could not lose ground when it came to my spiritual path. I had this idea at one time that unless you were consciously working on ascension and consciously on a spiritual path that you were not. Well, our truths and beliefs change of course over time as our old belief systems are broken down. I had to break down many old beliefs and incorporate new ones before I could realize the whole big picture.

Ascension and a spiritual journey is something that happens all on it’s own whether we are intending it or not. For example, when you interact with someone do you ever stop to think “Hey, they are on a spiritual path just like I am and going through their lessons just like I am, they just aren’t conscious of it.” If you stop and realize that and deal with people based on that notion then you will notice your relationships and interaction with people improve greatly. Also, if you are consciously on your spiritual journey/ascension and they are but not conscious off it then you could think of yourself as big brother or big sister to them, regardless of how old or young they are. Sometimes you are interacting with someone who doesn’t understand that what the two of you are going through is a lesson. But you know it is. So you have an awesome opportunity to take the lead. Be the bigger person and take the lead and help them by doing what you have learned to do best, send them thoughts of love and light.

Let’s also discuss the question of “What if you do not believe in a higher source, God, Buddha, etc.?” It doesn’t matter really. There is no check list somewhere that has your name crossed out because you say you do not believe. That tells me that possibly your not believing is a part of a lesson you choose to learn in this lifetime. If you rise above where you are, no matter the lesson, then you will have learned the lesson and passed the test. For example, if your lesson is poverty, then if you manage in this lifetime to rise above it and move out of the state of poverty and do it in a way that shows integrity (I had to say integrity because it does matter how you rise up out of your situation) then you will have learned the lesson and passed the test and then can move on to the next.

When dealing with people take a look and see if you can spot what their lesson might be and if possibly you were meant to help each other with the lessons you are working on.

This post is not about crystal therapy but a simple how to use crystals, so this may be a short, sweet and simple post.

If you have some beautiful crystals you have purchased or been given and are not sure how to use them, not to worry because it is quite simple.

It is easier if you are laying down when you do crystal therapy on yourself. The crystals will be laid on your body so that they are over the chakra you would like to clear and balance. Let say for example that you would like to balance your sacral chakra and your masculine feminine energies. A carnelian crystal is great for this task. Place the carnelian crystal a couple of fingers widths below your navel, relax and focus on your sacral chakra. As you relax and focus on the sacral chakra imagine and feel the energy from the crystal being absorbed into your chakra. Imaigne that the chakra is being cleared and balance and try to feel that as well.

The time that it takes to clear and balance the chakra of course varies. Some people say that they have experienced crystals falling off the area or almost popping off when healing is complete. This is really something you have to attempt to feel but if you are unsure give it at least 15 minutes. The chakras will not absorb more energy than they need.

My suggestions for crystals to use with the seven chakras plus the foot chakra is as follows:

Foot - Howlite

Root (clairolfaction) - Bloodstone

Sacral (clairsentience) - Carnelian

Solar Plexus (astral travel) - Citrine, Yellow Calcite

Heart (empathy) - Malachite, Green Aventurine and Rose Quartz

Throat (clairaudience, clairgustance) - Sodalite

Brow (clairvoyance) - Labadorite

Crown (claircognizance) - Amethyst

Every time I read an article or a post on clairsentience I get a little ticked off. There is such bad info out there it’s ridiculous. And at one time I was the receiver of some of that bad info which is why it took so long to figure out the truth of clairsentience and how to use it.

Many of the bad info I read when it comes to the authors telling how they use their clairaudience they speak of hearing (thoughts) or receiving intuitive messages. I also have read the crap (Sorry for my bad attitude but it burns me because bad info hinders peoples development) about what some authors and clairsentience think the sensations they feel are and I notice they feel that it is everything BUT communication.
Well I will tell you the truth. I spent almost a year researching clairsentience. I felt like I was in college studying for my Masters Degree because of how much time I spent researching clairsentience. But I had no choice because over night my clairsentience came on strong and when I say strong I mean it was like day and night. I felt like I was a different person. I notice that when people spoke to me depending on what they were saying I would get certain sensations in certain parts of my body. After all the research I did I realized that just like other abilities clairsentience was no different. I was receiving symbolic messages but instead of seeing an image, smelling or tasting something I was receiving the symbols associated with different parts of my body. I still did not have a good understanding of what was happening though but the answer came from someone I gave a practice reading to. She was so nice. I explained that I would feel things on different parts of my body and thought it was because the person has something wrong or and injury with that part of their body, but as she later cleared up for me I was way off. It was not injury I was feeling but a symbolic message that I had to translate. After giving her a reading and telling her what I felt in response to questions I asked she easily translated what I had received. She translated the sensations and if it has not been for her I would have never been able to ever use my clairsentience today as I do and carry on a complete conversation almost using only the sensations I feel.

An example of what I am talking about is when I am being told someone is heading in the right direction I feel my lower right leg. If I am being told that someone needs to rethink a situation or something then I feel a sensation on the left part of my head.

So what has me soooo frustrated about others information about clairsentience? That they say if you have clairsentience you get tingles her and there but it’s just your energy centers clearing, Here is an answer to me asking someone who professed to be a fully developed clairsentient back when I desperately needed correct answers:

“Hi Sherry,

As far as communicating, they use telepathy (thoughts). Though sometimes if no one is around, I voice my responses and questions, then listen. Usually the first thought that enters your mind is their answer. But being verbal is really unnecessary. Communicating or talking with them is accomplished simply by talking as you do with people. No special method or ritual. Just communicate/talk as you normally would talk to someone.

The heat your feeling is your physical response to energy, which can often be a signal of a nonphysical energy presence. I get tingling sensations or an electric type sensation. Its quite an experience. When I feel energy in my hands and feet, its an indication that my energy source is flowing unobstructed. For me, the first time this happened is when I knew I could perform healing on myself and others.”

This person who gave me advise is advising others in developing and using abilities. Telepathy is not clairsentience and is more tied to clairaudience. But acutally telepathy is a Psi ability. She says “the first thought that enters your mind…” Hmmm, does that or does that not describe clairaudience? Yup, clairaudience.  Feeling sensations in the hands is about communication although also it sounds like her hand chakras were trying to more fully open and when chakras first open the energy flows strongly. Those chakra centers just opened aren’t use to the amount of energy that is suddenly able to flow through them. Sensations in the feet also can be translated as well although same as all chakra points when first opened you will feel tingling as they are opening and clearing.

Clairsentients often also have other other abilities that work in conjunction with clairsentience such as clairaudience, clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairolfaction and clairgustance…but clairsentience IS NOT all those things wrapped up into one as many state on their websites and blogs. Clairsentience is clear feeling/sensing period. Clairsentience is also NOT psychometry. Anyone can develop psychometry regardless of what abilities they have developed. And psychometry does not work like clairsentience in that when messages are recieved via psychometry you receive the messages via whatever ability you have. So if you are clairvoyant then using psychometry you would receive images of what is received, for example. Ted Andrews wrote an excellent book that is so thorough called “How To Do Psychic Readings Through Touch.”

So, once I found out that the truth was that the sensations were symbologic messages that needed to be translated I did some more research and found the “Book of Storms.” In this great course you learn about the translation faculty. At first I thought it was something I had to ask for and would be downloaded into my chakras or something. I know, funny! A translation faculty simply means you create a dictionary of what the symbolic messages mean to you. That proved to be difficult although not impossble. I spent a lot of time with my guides day after day building a translation faculty. And that ended up being the KEY to using clairsentience.

Okay, thanks for letting me vent a little. I’m done now.

It’s a simple thing but one that is often over looked. As we go about searching out the techniques that will open us up and awaken ourselves some times we overlooked the simply things.

Being happy! I don’t just mean having a few laughs throughout the day and playing with the kids, I mean being happy, mentally and emotionally well in every way. Being good to yourself and others as well. And don’t just treat yourself good but the people you come into contact with also. I know sometimes that is hard to do when you come up against bad attitudes but why let another’s bad attitude affect you. Does it do either of you any good for both of you to have a bad attitude. No! The best thing you can do for yourself and for others is to be happy and emotionally healthy.

When you are not emotionally and mentally healthy did you know that creates blocks in your chakras? That means it is creating blocks to your psychic self. If you are going around being grumpy you are only hurting yourself.

Start in simple ways.

• Watch those negative thoughts about others.  Whenever one starts to enter your mind, brush it away and instead in your mind think of something good to say about that person. If your in traffic and someone cuts you off you don’t know that person and might think “Well how can I say something nice about them when I don’t even know them?” Simple. Just say you appreciate them for not hitting your car or just simple say you appreciate them because they are nice and kind. Sure you don’t know that for a fact but the thing is you are sending out the right kind of positive energy.
• Smile! Did you know that just doing something simple like smiling will raise your vibrations?
• Don’t Gossip! Gossiping is one of the worst things you can do. It affects your throat chakra.
• Don’t Lie! Try to avoid even those little white lies. Lying can also affect your throat chakra.
• Forgive! If there is anything from the past…let it go. You may think you have let it go, but I am not talking about just forgetting it. Forgetting and pushing things out of your mind is different than forgiving. Forgiving releases you and releases the other person(s).

In the Hawaiian art of Ho ‘oponopono the four most powerful phrases are:

• I am sorry
• Please forgive me
• I love you
• Thanks You

Whenever you feel you need to let go of something from the past or even present try focusing on the person or situation and repeating those phrases over and over again until you feel released and healed.

Moving Into Position
April 22, 2009

Welcome!

Back in March, we had some beautiful warm weather here in New Mexico at 7,000 feet. It was if winter had decided to be short and brief, and the sun was out early. But then, very surprisingly, we had a day of snow! And then a warm few days, and then some days in the 30’s, and then a snowy day, and then a warm day, and then a day of snow. It was as if the weather could not decide which way to go…a new beginning (spring), or back to winter. And this is how our new beginnings are unfolding as well. With a start, a stutter, and with sporadic instances of arrival and departure, we may wonder what in the world is going on.

Things are finally beginning to take distinct direction, with the assistance of some powerful newly arriving energies. These energies are pushing and moving now in an intense way, and all for good reason. We needed a good thrust forward, to enable us to begin our anchoring in process, and thus, energies arrived for us to create this severe and intense “push.”
Like a bulldozer moving the heaviest and deepest layers, we are now being placed into our rightful positions, even though it may feel otherwise. When energy moves in this way, with a rightful intent, it can at times feel as though chaos has ensued, as if nothing is making sense anymore, as if much of everything has gone haywire and out of control, and we may even become emotional, feel like crying, and panic that things have most certainly gone caput. But I can assure you, this is not the case.

Come June, we will be fully anchored in, and this latest occurrence of strange energies is simply doing its job in placing us where we need to be. Things are being re-arranged now…moved here and there…one thing goes out and another moves in to take its place, so that things can very soon be right where they need to be.

We are most certainly being protected, as being placed in our true and rightful positions keeps us in a wonderful alignment with our highest and truest selves, and with all of the cosmos as well.

Since January, I have been holding the space for my daughter and grandchildren…spending great amounts of time at their home and helping as much as possible while they settle in. And now, my daughter’s husband will be joining them, as he is now ready to leave North Carolina and begin a very new life in New Mexico. Sam and his entire family have lived in a small town in North Carolina their entire lives. This is a huge change for him, and we honestly did not know if he would come. He did not believe that this would be possible, and was not ready and willing to make such a drastic change. He recently came for a visit, the very minute he was able, and is now finishing up preparations for his journey here. He is so very excited! And what a changed man he is!

I am now moving out of that space and will now be more fully ensconced and ready to be completely present in my very new space…all in divine and perfect order. For me, it is an absolute miracle that my family is now near-by, after ten years of painful separation, and a significant miracle that Sam has now joined us. We have never seen him more dedicated or motivated! And even though I have feelings at times, of a bit of loss in regard to my space there, I am much more thrilled to have a larger family now present with one new member. And I know as well, that my very new space and new life are arriving too, or I would not have been released as I was.

This re-arranging process has also placed a hold on some things, as re-calibrating always does. So then, some things may have appeared to have suddenly stopped, but what is occurring is that they are “waiting” for things to settle out before they resume once again. And this is particularly true in regard to sources of income for some of us. But just hold on, because when things begin flowing again, in their true and rightful positions, we will feel more content, at peace, and more secure than ever before.

We are balancing out in many ways as well. As was mentioned in the last WINGS post, group energy or working as a team is balancing itself out in regard to personal energy moving more forward or pulling back more. Meaning that many will meet in the middle now, making equal contributions as a whole. Almost as if the earth is moving a bit on its axis (not my area of expertise, so maybe it is!), things are in a real process now of settling in and creating a much needed balance in order to keep things as steady as possible.

Communication is up front as well, as good communication is vitally necessary in times to come, if we are to work together as a team in all ways. In days past, when communication was not present, it could be very noticeable and extremely uncomfortable, as non-communication vibrates very low and we are now vibrating very high.

These are exciting times indeed, as so much is now being moved into position for our very new beginnings in a very new reality. Even when things may appear to be going awry, they are actually right on track, as the invisible hand of our souls and of the universe is choreographing things for us, without us even needing to try. Doors will open to places where we need to be, other doors will close, and things that needed tending to will now be placed immediately in our faces, as we can no longer delay in wrapping up, in making changes, or in dealing with the inevitable.

At the same time, as always, it can feel very uncomfortable being in the lower vibrating energies of the old world. The old world is now very much an illusion, and thus, many still residing there can appear zombie-like, going through motions without passion or caring, like puppets or manikins living in energies that no longer exist. Other scenarios present involve more intense energies, but they are energies that do not feel good to us, are aggressive, heavy, and grossly out of touch or dis-connected from any higher ways of living, being, or of Source itself. These energies do not yet realize that we are all connected, and are not very aware of anything much around them.

It can greatly help to lay low now, to stay close to home, to stay in our personal sanctuaries until things settle out. Lower vibrating energies can throw us off balance, out of sync, can make us feel vulnerable, and even shut us down. Being in the old reality is more challenging now than ever before, because we are absolutely more removed from it than ever before. Our new beds are being made now…they are waiting for us…we will be there soon in the comfort of fluffy down comforters and angel wing pillows.

This current time of great movement and juxtaposition is a great gift. We are simply juggling around now in regard to where we need to be. If we can let go and allow our souls to align us without effort, to trust that things are right where they need to be, and to know and trust that we are being taken care of in all ways, perhaps then we can breathe a little easier, connect more fully to this new and higher vibrating reality that is now unfolding for us, and know that our new “home” is right around the corner.

With much love and gratitude,

Karen

One of the clair’s that I noticed a lack of information on how to develop and practice it is CLAIROLFACTION, also called by some Psychic Smelling. Instead of giving you the definition commonly used I will give you mine based on my own experiences using this ability. I notice that many articles are on the web about this ability but written by authors that don’t actually have he ability. Although they give great basic information I would like to think I can be more helpful to you than that based on my experiences.

A little bit about how I experienced Clairolfaction…

Even before I knew anything about psychic abilities and that everyone had them I experienced many things others say they experienced. Seeing shadows and figures out my peripheral vision, always hearing noises in the house it seemed no one else heard, just knowing things, even being able to communicate with my cat (long story and I was young. I just thought it was novel and that my cat was extra special for some reason lol), and of course I was hyper-super-over-the-top-sensitive. Since young I also experienced De-Ja-Vu on such a frequent basis that it actually started to bother me…I thought I was losing it! In my 30’s is when I began smelling things. I would ask everyone in the room “Do you smell that?” I was so often smelling things that weren’t there. Everything from the scent of fresh baked cookies, flowers/roses, cigar smoke, men’scolonge, etc. I came to actually enjoy the smell of that man. lol. It reminded me of dating a good smelling man and I liked that thought. lol.

After awakening to my abilities I began smelling things more often. Often when typing someone a message I would start to smell something. To cut to the chase my goal is to be well rounded as far as my psychic abilities are concerned so my goal is to develop all clair’s. Clairolfaction and how it worked eluded me however. I found no information on the web and I had searched and searched. I was told to ask for help. That is what I did. I asked God to send me help. That same night the help came while I was still searching the web for information (yes, I don’t give up easily or admit defeat…I am a beat a dead horse type of person. lol) Suddenly the idea popped in my head to ask my boyfriend to put something in his desk and I would try to smell it and guess what it was. I immediately thought “why would I think to do that, he is hardly at his office and will think I am nuts with such a request.” Then I heard “Trigger.” That was it. I need a trigger to practice clairolfaction instead of just saying to my guide let me smell this or that to practice. I tried that…it did not work.

This is what I did that did work…

I found pictures on the web of various things. Fruit, bread, pizza, horses/stable, coffee, cigar, cookies, etc. I was on a diet at the time and as I was practicing I realized that smelling pizza wasn’t the best idea. lol.

Looking at the picture I asked “What is it, let me smell it?” Then I relax while also focusing slightly on my root chakra. Clairolfaction is controlled by the root chakra so you really should have opened, cleared and balanced your root chakra. Actually all your chakras should be opened, cleared and balanced before working on development or else I tend to think it would be slightly like beating your head against the wall because you may or may not be able to perform based on blocks to your chakra(s).

Next I just take my time, breath normal. Don’t do what I use to do and breath physically so deeply to the point of almost passing out because you are not using your physical sense of smell even though when the room fills with the smell of cookies you would swear you are smelling it with your physical nose. Don’t pass out! lol. Take you time because I find that often I smell when I am in a relaxed state and not expecting to smell anything or focused on smelling anything. So if you try and try and nothing happens…sit back, relax, watch a little tv to take your focus off trying to smell, and just let it happen.

Don’t worry if some times it just won’t happen, that’s okay. It happens and is normal when developing for it to be sporadic. Remember the reason for developing is to gain control…so you don’t have control yet so some times it just won’t happen. Go on to the next picture or take a break and come back to practicing later.

Some key things to be aware of are the smells in your home/environment. You need to know if you smell lavender that it is your psychic sense and not that glade air freshener oil warmer you have pulled in. Are your windows open. You need to make sure the smells are not coming from some where else. Like I have done in the past, if you smell smoke, natural gas, etc. it is okay to go check it out and I would recommend it. After all you have to gain trust in your abilities so go check out that smell and you will know that it is your psychic sense.

Your probably also wondering what about when you have no idea what your smelling. That is where developing more than one abilities comes in handy so not to worry. Most often when I smell something it is an additional clue to what I have already got using my clairsentience, just knowing and clairaudience. The goal is to use one sense in conjunction with another. Working together like that you probably will know what that smell is or what it reminds you of which is usually right. Remember to note the first thing that comes to you…what did you first think that smell was? Or who did the smell remind you of right off? Did you get some other thought or impression when you smelled it? Don’t discount anything…not if you want to develop. And…just tell the person what you recieved or describe the smell as best you can because possibly they will know.

My last tip…often your friends will not want to play guess that smell with you. lol. My best friend say that when her husband asks her to play that game the smells are not to pleasant smelling. lol.

Okay…here’s some general information about Clairolfaction:
