Let's Talk About Fear....

So, I guess it's about time I mentioned this little feature (or 'fear'ture) of our current daily life. You cannot open the newspaper, turn on the tele (thankfully I don't have one) or even speak with someone without fear coming into the conversation, equation or guiding our thoughts in some way...

Try a little experiment and see if you can actually find some purely positive article, report, news brief, or even have a conversation... especially these days. From the state of the economy, the mess our health is in, to bullying in the schools - even the uplifting stories have a heaviness about them.

There is one main point I want to make here about fear and perhaps what to do about it. For the most part we are not even dealing with our own energy - our bodies have filled up with darkness, stress and low vibrations from absolutely everything around us.

Because of the way we eat, the water we drink, the poisons and toxins we breathe in, the chemicals we are exposed to from the first day of life - and each of the above situations we find our selves exposed to - we have become accustomed to a steady diet of negativity or fear based thinking.

Let me explain this from an intuitive perspective.... 

When you are fed 'food' made in a factory (by machines, tired and frustrated employees), all the goodness (read life force) is taken out of this food during the processing or manufacturing of each package, can, box and bag - you take in a substance devoid of positivity.

That's one thing. Then because this food is making us ill, our cells are not detoxing or functioning properly, we take concoctions made in a lab from synthetic chemicals (additives, toxins) to fix, heal or change the bodies response and we fill even further with darkness.

What is worse we are given antibiotics (against life!?), when our bodies attempt to shift this energy, which kill off any remaining colonies of beneficial bacteria so necessary for sustaining and maintaining ALL of life's positive forces. Yeast, mold, fungus and non-beneficial bacteria take over certain areas of our guts (skin and mucous membranes) ensuring further negative balance. 

And we continue to fill up with fear. 

All of this leads to bodies built cell by cell without love.  

This is a new year, perhaps it's time to do something about it.

Magic - Walking Towards the Light

As an Intuitive I am always looking for the connection between our physical reality (food, flesh and blood) and these other worlds (energetic, emotional and spiritual realms). They are not mutually exclusive from each other – nor should they be – many of us walk in other worlds as writers and dreamers.

Once a link has been established, between these dimensions – information exchange, healing and real living can begin. We are multi-dimensional beings for a reason, with access to sources of energy potential, such as magic.

Whenever we think of magic, a lot of the mental pictures that immediately spring to mind are of darkness, witches, ghouls and goblins. None of these creatures are very nice and they have given this art a bad name.

And, everything about this time of year with it’s enveloping darkness and Halloween has only served to deepen the mystery. Alluding to more of what we do not know – about those energies lurking about in the shadows.

There is a heavy, shady dark aspect to all of life (it’s called balance) and magic is no exception, however, there is also a pure, gentle and loving side. This has sadly been missing from our lives because it has had to be hidden for protection.

When the religions of the world went into their blood lust killing spree to rid the world of ‘witches’ – they were mainly looking for people exercising their own free will. In other words, they sought out followers of the old ways – those who continued to use herbs for childbirth and healing, who understood the cycles and rhythms of the earth.

Anyone who was a non-conformer, a seeker of the truth, a free thinker – females were an easy target, often without formal education, and basic human rights of the times. Naturally, if they were concocting a herbal remedy in their kitchen for a headache, they were up to some evil spell!

Actually magic is more aligned with free will then any other energy form in the Universe. Will power should be an unlimited resource for us as human beings,  however it has been interfered with, redirected and overshadowed by sinister forces – such as medication and sugar.

That’s right – sugar, processed foods, alcohol, chemicals, medications, plastics and all manner of toxic by-products now found in our food and water.

The fundamental and most vital part of magic is our food – a ritual meal prepared with fresh non toxic ingredients, herbs, natures’ bounty (under a new or full moon or some other season) – this is the essence of creating something new.

And basic magic at it’s absolute best would be interfered with were we to use low vibration or other types of contaminated food. This would be the equivalent  of inviting sorcery and it’s dark forces into our cells. Yet, for the most part – this information has been altered and lost to us and we simply are unaware of these things.

The main difference between these two traditions of magic and sorcery, would be vast by degree – magic pulls in nature, love, healing and uplifting energies of the earth through food, water, cooking and symbolic ritual. There are darker sides to this as well but that is for another post!

While sorcery might involve numbers, symbols, ritual and other worldly spirits in a far more intense manner to create or force change. However, dark forces align themselves with the like natures found in chemicals, plastics, toxins and all manner of man-made substances. These are prevalent in the food chain in nearly every commodity.

Indeed, what we finding out there in the food aisles – is nearly every concoction you can imagine containing sugar, excess salt, all manner of chemicals and preservatives, meats saturated with medication (from abused animals), everything wrapped in plastic and God knows what else.

All energy, all change, and indeed all magic begins its’ life on the inside – as part of our conscious intentions.  We are what we think and feel and do – far more then is known about , felt or seen.

If you want to create magic in your life and be more a part of these Universal mysteries – you have to clean up your diet, heal your body and walk the talk of a spiritual being.

It is that simple.
