So, call me naïve but this week when I was communicating with a client about what I do and how it could help her, I was a little taken aback when she mentioned to me that God was first and foremost to her. Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather!

I have yet to meet a bona fide Light Worker who is NOT working with God. I mean if they aren't working with God then they are serving the other side!

But I do understand the confusion and I think it brought up a good point because there really needs to be some clean up in the concept of Spirituality.  Many people believe Spirituality to be all fortune telling, speaking with the dead and hocus pocus. Yes, there is that in some cases, just as there is some serious shadiness in religion as well. It's no different.

For myself, I am a Metaphysician, I work with the Hierarchy of Light, this includes God and all his servants and I include myself as one of them. I happen to work with many individuals within the Hierarchy as I know what their jobs are. For instance, if I wish to work on personal boundaries, then I work with the Olympic Spirit of Saturn, I might also work with Archangel Gabriel to assist me in cleaning out the negative influences that reside within my subconscious tripping me up with my boundaries or lack thereof. So, instead of some nebulous idea of God or just one aspect, such as Jesus or Mohammed (I work with them too) I have a team. You wouldn't  call a plumber when you need an electrician would you? Having said all this I have been trained to do this, so far eleven years of intensive training! I consider myself to be well versed in my profession and super connected to God. I have many colleagues who also offer outstanding services too.

If you are considering an alternative method to healing, don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Just because you have a faith (which is wonderful) it doesn't mean that partaking in healing services from a qualified Metaphysician, energy worker is taking you away from that. In other cultures many view our Christian faith as unfamiliar and even in opposition to 'their' God, this creates judgment and quite frankly there is far too much of that going on. We tend to fear what we don't know or understand. Guys, there are many faces to God and guess what? You can love them all <3 I'm just as happy at my parish Catholic church as I am in a Hindu temple or a Native American Sweat lodge. Embrace diversity, its how we will learn about God!!!!

Another thing to bare in mind is that until the witch hunts of the 1400's to 1700's took place, modern medicine was a combination of energetic and elemental (herbs, roots etc). It actually formed the basis of much of our modern medicine today. There is a big movement today to move back to allopathic medicine, many would agree that it highly affective and a much better choice. These modern day practitioners are similar to the healers that were so heavily judged (by those of faith) back then.

My suggestion is that you research the person that you are approaching or trust your vibes or a combination of both. But for heavens sakes, don't suffer because of lack of understanding.

I honor my client for asking me and bringing it to the table. If she hadn't then it would have been there affecting the work that she is attempting to do, which is to heal.

So I just watched the movie Everest, what a great movie, you gotta go see it.

It got me thinking about the endurance required to undertake such a feat, I thought well not all of us can overcome our shadows and fears in this way. But at some point we all face our own Mount Everest. I thought about some of my own challenges. Some of them have been a part of my training as a Celtic Shaman. Many have been my own doubts and fears.
But the one that tops the list is being a parent. You see, I think that we face so many fears on behalf of our children, because of our children and in spite of our children.
What I do know now is this, our children come in with their own set of contracts and lessons and have made agreements to learn certain aspects of physical life long before they were even conceived. In short, they are individuals, trying to discover their own individuality. I don't know what that is for my children anymore than they probably do at the moment (mine are 11 & 17) and I cannot decide for them. It takes an immense amount of love and non attachment to let your children become. It takes letting go of control and trusting the bigger picture.

I read a blog a couple days ago by a well known woman who writes something called Momastery. In her blog she talked about how we should give our children knowledge of the problems that alcohol causes and in this way, by being open with them then they will be armed with the knowledge that will save them. Many Mothers commented and agreed and mentioned how their young ones were fully aware and were fully committed to avoiding alcohol & drugs etc. Personally I found it to be naïve. I'm only saying this because I've had all those conversations and you know what kids will do what kids will do. Many parents have this misconception that any decision made by there children is based upon their parenting abilities. Ask yourself this, when you were younger did your choices reflect your parents or did you decide all by yourself?

This is what I mean, we can have hopes and dreams for our kids and arm them with all the tools of success but ultimately its up to them. This is how it should be. We cant take away their experiences for them. There's a bigger picture that we cannot know or see.

They need to climb their own Mt Everest's all by themselves, this is how they will truly learn. And this is NOT easy for us as parents, in fact thinking about it I need oxygen! But I know to trust the process and the guidance that they ultimately have access too and of course if I'm needed I'm there with the Oxygen mask, a hug, a box of tissues and a listening ear. edit.

I have the urge to create some magick, in particular Low Magick (working directly with the physical elements) and I'm going to be co-creating with the air elementals. This could be either incense or oil blends. Today I'm going to be working with oil blends. Here are some recipes from Scott Cunninghams book Incense, Oils & Brews. Feel free to use a mixture of oils and herbs and add a crystal or two if you like. Follow your intuition, this is part of the fun! Then you can use your oil blend to wear, anoint a magickal candle or even mix with some sea salt to create a magickal bath (now you are adding water magick too....Woohoo) to use prior to wearing your oil. In fact you could blend your oil, anoint your candle, make your bath and burn the candle whilst you are in the bath focusing on your wishes.

Have fun with it and let me know how it goes.
Here are some recipes;

For Love - Aphrodite oil

                5 drops Cypress

                2 drops Cinnamon

                a small piece of dried Orris root

Add true essential oils and the orris root to an olive oil base and anoint your body to bring love into your life.

For Extra Energy when feeling depleted, ill or to strengthen your own energy reserves - Energy Oil

                4 drops Orange

                2 drops Lime

                1 drop Cardamom

For Invoking the powers of the Earth to bring money, stability, prosperity, abundance - Earth Oil

                4 drops Patchouly

                4 drops Cypress

For Money - Fast Money Oil

                  7 drops Patchouly

                  5 drops Cedarwood

                  4 drops Vetivert

                  2 drops Ginger

Apart from the Aphrodite oil, use a low smell base, almond oil, Jojoba etc. I use good quality base and essential oils, especially if I plan on putting them on my body in some way. Also, you can go to some websites and buy smaller quantites called drams, otherwise it can get expensive gathering your collection. One that I like to use is in FL is www.greatamerican.biz, they will ship anywhere and they are affordable, so far I've liked the quality too!
Stay tuned for more magickal works and metaphysical musings.

So, I'm always talking about empowerment and what I mean by this is the ability to CHOSE! And this is the core of all Mystery School teachings and is ESSENTIAL to your personal sense of self, purpose and happiness. A significant amount of energy is locked up in the programs of youth and even beyond this physical life. This shows up as emotional actions without conscious thought. Also as beliefs and ideas about our self, the world around us and relationships that are only based upon experience in this life and again pattern and traumas that we came in with. In other words, a VERY limited view and what's more we tend to attach to these beliefs and never grow beyond them.

Do you know that there is UNLIMITED creational energy available to you! You don't ever have to feel disempowered or stuck, the is ALWAYS CHOICE! If you are vibing with what I'm saying and you want to access everything you ever dreamed about but haven't known how to get past obstacles (which you are unconsciously creating) then you will want to attend the following classes. I say this with absolute confidence, because I once stood in the shoes of self limitation and I don't any longer, actually its why I do this work, to help others grow.
