First off let me start by saying rejection is an illusion! Other people's behavior is always about them and their story, even if someone blames someone else. And you can blame all you want but it’s really about you. When we blame we give our power away and we become a victim. Nothing is more…
Hello, my name is Samantha and this is my first blog! I am passionate about many things, but my new found passion that is unexpected is Yoga!! I decided very last minute to sign up for yoga teacher training in January and as of April I am now a certified yoga instructor. I joined to…
Valentine’s Day: A matter of the Heart (and Kidneys) Valentine’s Day is a celebration of the Heart—whose health depends on strong Kidneys. As Valentine’s Day inspires you to feel love in your heart, I encourage you to also focus for a minute or two on the level of energy (health) you’re feeling, or not feeling,…
Smudging has been an ancient practice of many indigenous people around the world for centuries. The traditional method of smudging is the burning of sacred herbs to produce a smoke cloud. The emitted smoke from the herb bundle is then used to cleanse negative energy, purify living spaces, as well as people and even objects…
As we move through the process of ascension, we inevitably will go through the dark night of the soul. The dark night of the soul is a time of facing our shadow side or dysfunctional self, the parts of us we don’t enjoy. Many people run away from their issues and avoid them. We are taught…
Reiki is probably the most well known and popular form of energy healing in the world today. It has become mainstream in most countries, especially here in the United States. Reiki is thousands of years old. The word Reiki literally means “God consciousness energy”! It grew increasingly popular back in the 1920s via a Japanese Buddhist…
Creating a new relationship with yourself is part of the ascension process. We must all learn to accept ourselves, approve of ourselves and ultimately forgive ourselves for neglecting or being hard on ourselves, or letting others take advantage, etc. We must learn to love ourselves. For some of us, we are disassociated from ourselves and repress…

Growing Faith, stepping into our power, self-love, and realizing we are divine! These are all what we are evolving toward. This is what it will take to live in the new world we who are conscious are creating. The others will join us later. In order for all this to occur, the old ways are going…

Anxiety is often caused by fear and worry. I have touched on how it can be caused by metaphysical energetic problems in previous bogs, but it is often caused by past trauma or current stressors as well. Anxiety and Depression are also often caused from one not living in alignment with oneself. Maybe your job or…

One of the main reasons people come to see me is anxiety and depression. One of the main causes is emphatic abilities. What is an empath? An empath is someone who feels other peoples feelings as if they are their own. To empathize is to put yourself in someone else’s place, to imagine as if…
One of the more famous prayers states “Give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change”. Acceptance is a very important factor to finding peace within, as well as, without. As I have worked towards peace within my life and my heart, and as I have channeled advice for so many people I…
Perhaps one of the hardest forms of acceptance to learn is self-acceptance. One thing I wish for you to understand about acceptance is if you are having trouble feeling accepted by others or with judgment then you might consider looking at the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. So you may need to look at…
You hold the power. Remember that. When life hands you a challenge you can allow it to make you stronger, to grow and transform. On the other hand you can let it break you and bring you down. The key is in how you perceive the challenge. Do you see it as an opportunity, are…
Power vs. Domination Power vs. Force Power vs. Control Power vs. Bullying Power is an interesting thing. I think we need to redefine power. I think power is misunderstood. I feel that a huge lesson we are having as a collective is learning about how to be in our power and how to avoid and stop giving away our power.…

People wonder why there is such crazy weather. The weather is manifested just like anything else. We are all going through so much change and so many adjustments these days. Just as the planets effect us, so do we the weather. We need time to go in and look at ourselves and to process. Enjoy…
So lately, what keeps coming up is allowing. Allowing is a feminine energy quality, and it is a way of being. We are so used to making things happen. Force. The old dynamics of which this world we have lived in for thousands, or more years, has been based on what I call false power.…
Define yourself or be undefinable! Don't accept limited proclamations of who or what you are! Discover your limitlessness. Realize that someone else's opinion about you, good or bad, positive or negative, doesn't really matter. What matters is what you believe about you, for this becomes your reality. So change your mind. Disprove the old beliefs about…
I was noticing that even in our spiritual community there is a lot of gossip and judgment. Gossip is when you are talking about someone in judgment, not in observation. I also noticed that people will form an opinion of someone and hold that person in that space forever more. Well guess what people, people are constantly…
So how do we let go of judgment? First, and most importantly, start to focus on yourself. Focus on what you like about yourself and what qualities you have that you are proud of. Focus on the good in others as well! For what you focus on grows! Be open to people having grown and healed. Be…
Good day everyone. We've all had those people in our life, whether we realize it or not, that aren't healthy for us. I want to discuss how to handle these toxic people. Truthfully, once you realize someone is toxic you cannot take them seriously. Do not take things personally. Thankfully there are several ways to handle…
