Throwing Stuff for knowing Stuff - Dice

Astragalomancy, a form of Cleromancy, is divination by use of dice. It’s an ancient form of divination and is still used by many when seeking answer to the unknown. One of the most common forms of Dice Divination used today is accomplished by using three dice.

You can use a single die for a yes/ no question by simply designating odd or even as the yes or no.

Three dice divination can offer answers to more general kinds of questions.

It is always best to cast a circle or just use a paper plate because it already has a circle in it.

Hold your question in your mind and toss the dice into the circle.

If a die falls outside of the circle, ignore it and read the remaining dice or die that are inside the circle.

If all of the dice fall outside of the circle then you must reformulate your question and ask again, or it may be that it isn’t time for you

to know this information.

Dividing up your circle.

You can get answers to a random throw to gain insight on what is important for you to know at the time.

Draw a circle and divide into several pie shaped sections. Throw the dice and read the number that falls into the pie piece.

If you can make a circle and laminate it, you can draw on it with a dry erase marker and use it again and again…yay!

Hooray You are an Empath!

Curse or Blessing? I’ve heard people saying both. So, I suppose it must be both.

Being an empath is a double-edged sword. It can be both a curse and a blessing. On one hand, you have the ability to intuit exactly what you need to do to make someone comfortable. On the other, it is easy to lose track of what you need, because you are so accustomed to caring for other’s comfort before caring for your own. You have easy access to information about what is going on with the people around you, but sometimes it is hard to know your own mind.

An Empath Can Be a Real Chameleon

I have this theory that people become empathic as a way to stay safe in their world. If you know what those around you are feeling, then you know how to adjust what you say and do to make them comfortable, so they are safer people to be around, both emotionally and physically. An empath can be a real chameleon, shifting tone of voice, conversation styles, body posture, and choice of tactics and actions to help the people around them to feel more at ease.

The problem with this is that they often lose track of what is actually authentic and true for themselves.

Self Care or Self Detriment?

Empaths tend to care take their environment as a way to care take themselves. This is a pretty roundabout way of doing self-care. Doing or saying something that will make someone else angry or sad is uncomfortable for an empath, so that they often avoid confrontation in order to avoid feeling other people’s uncomfortable emotions. It is easy for them to lose track of the fact that they themselves are feeling uncomfortable.

I know firsthand, because I am an empath. It’s been a gift and has often exacted many painful lessons from me. I could never be the healer I am today without having been an empath. When I lay my hands on a person, I can tell almost right away what emotions are lodged in that person’s body, what issues they are dealing with, and sometimes, even what they are thinking. On the other side of the coin, there have been times in my life where I was not true to myself because of the needs and the emotions of others, often greatly to my detriment.

So what are we to do about this quandary?

Essential Practices for Empaths ( Just think about it like caring for yourself is the first step in caring about everyone else. There, did that help?)

• Develop Your Energetic Protection Methods 

Around your physical body, there is a layer of your etheric energy that is specifically for dealing with your environment. Its shape and health can show how you are with the world at large. People who are empaths often have a “thin skin” in relation to their shield body. When it has holes in it, we are more easily influenced by our environment. Grounding  yourself is key, to establish a stable foundation. Then as you raise your etheric vibration imagine a shell or a shield around your physical body. See is as radiant and complete. You may see it as a particular color. Some people like to see it as white or gold. Decide what color would work well for you, and see it that way. Imagine the shield body as flowing and moving..not static, we are developing a shield here, not armor. It is good for it to be flexible, so you can let in what serves you, and keep out what doesn’t. Snap your fingers to hold it in place. Do this exercise regularly.

• Centering yourself AKA “Grounding”

Once you have your shield in place, imagine that there is a golden light in the center of your spirit. This is your pure essence. Focus your attention on the spark, being all your senses to bear. Also be aware of your sensations, emotions and thoughts. First try this when you are alone, and then, after a time, practice it around others. See if you can switch your awareness from your environment to your self, and back again. Notice the difference between the two. Please breathe deeply while you do this exercise so that you may draw in more light from the Divine.

• Don’t Take On Responsibilities That Aren’t Yours

A person can get so used to care taking, that they can feel as though they are supposed to do it. You are not. It is good to be as compassionate as possible without going beyond the limits of what you need to do to maintain your health and sanity. You are responsible up to that line, and not beyond it. If you are an empath, your idea of where the line is might be a bit fuzzy. Once you get to know where the line is, try to stick to it. It will make all your relationships clearer and cleaner.

• Get Used to Being the Bad Guy

Empaths are often outwardly kind and caring. They usually get the benefit of everyone thinking that they are almost saintly sometimes. It is easy to get attached to being the “nice guy.” It is not easy dealing with people’s negative emotions, but care taking others does not ultimately serve them or you. It does not help them to protect them from their feelings. It keeps them from growing up. Besides, it’s not real. Better to live in reality than a padded reality. Yes, people may get angry or sad at you or with you if you don’t do what they want you to do, but it is important to remember that their feelings are not your feelings, and your well-being is not dependent on their wellbeing.

• Develop Your Throat Chakra

Sometimes an empath will know what they need to say or do to make good boundaries, but have a hard time following through in expressing it. The throat chakra is the center for the expression of personal truth. Through the opening of the throat chakra, we open ourselves to expressing our true needs and feelings, as well as expressing the creative force as it moves through us. Some good exercises for opening the throat chakra are singing and chanting, sharing your feelings and thoughts with friends, and meditating on the throat chakra. Some healing stones that help with the throat chakra are chrysacolla, turquoise, lapis lazuli, amazonite, and blue lace agate. You can meditate with them, put them in a medicine bag, or wear jewelry (particularly necklaces).

• Develop Your Root Chakra

The root chakra helps us to deal with being fully in the world. When the root chakra is open, we are fully grounded and present with whatever is coming our way. When it is not open, we can be dis-associative, fearful, and have difficulty staying present with what is going on. Opening and healing the root chakra helps us to release the fears that keep us from our highest manifestation within form. Some exercises that help to open the root chakra are:

Imagine you are sending roots down into the earth from your base.

Imagine you can breathe in and out of you root.

On the inhale, breath in energy from he earth.

On the exhale, release any thing that is within you that does not serve you.

Some healing stones that might be helpful are obsidian, amethyst, howlite, hematite, and red jasper.

• Smudging And Clearing Regularly

Whether you are having difficulty with your empathic abilities or not, it is a good idea to smudge yourself regularly to release other people’s energy and influence from your energy body. Other good clearing methods are showering, bathing and spending time in solitude. Can you feel what others around you are feeling? Are you sensitive to your surroundings? When you lay your hands on someone, do your hands know right where to go to help that person? Perhaps you are an empath. Please understand that clutter in your household and in your personal space is a breeding ground for negative energy. You are sensitive to energy, please clean. I know it can be sometimes hard, because many empathic people also have attention deficit disorder. It’s a challenge but try to come up with some systems that keep your space neat, and at least throw out your paper clutter.

 We as empaths are hard wired to run energy, feel energy and manipulate energy. That means that once we understand how energy works and that we have the power to manipulate it to our benefit, then we can protect ourselves. Communicate more effectively and begin to make the things we want in our lives come in to our lives.

 If you have been have attend ended my psychic circle for any amount of time you have seen auras and experienced working with energy. These exercises are not just parlor games. These exercises are to expand your understanding and your confidence in regards to your own power of using your own natural etheric energy to your benefit. Whether it be for protection, healing or for manifestation, your energy will provide much of what you need once you learn to use it, and not fear it. It is as much a part of you as your arms and legs. 

The human aura extends around the body at around 8 – 10 inches in all directions.

The healthier we are physically and emotionally and mentally the greater that energy extends. The more vibrant your energy the more energy you have to do things with, and less likely it will be that you will be impinged upon by outside influences.

 Those with weak auras are more easily manipulated, and tend to tire more easily in daily activities. From an emotional level a weak aura will generate feelings of being depressed, of being a failure of not being in control of one’s own life. In weakened auras, stresses reveal themselves more quickly. 

What weakens the aura:

Poor Diet

Lack of Exercise

Lack of fresh air

Lack of rest

Stress

Drugs

Alcohol

Smoking

Emotional Upheaval

Fear and Worry

Guilt

Lack of Sleep

Improper psychic activity ( too much stimulation or no protection)

Things that can effect our aura’s are:

The food we eat, the air we breathe, these things are converted into energy by the cells of the body, the cells give off energy….effecting the aura

The human body also gives off light, sound , thermal energy, electricity, magnetics, heat . Some of these energies are generated within the body and others are received from outside the body.

 For instance:

 The natural interaction between one energy field and another ..kind of like an osmosis between our personal energies and those energy fields around us.

 The energies of Nature are easily absorbed and transformed by the body. Tree Hugging…trips to the ocean….Sun bathing…. The four elements are natural and healing….fire( of the sun) water ( of the ocean) air of a breeze, sand or dirt of the earth ( you can also experience earth through crystals, I personally don’t like to get too dirty)

Our human aura absorbs these healing energies easily. Causing a strengthening and a balancing of the body and energy.

 Quick energizers:

 Laughter

Music

Singing

Dancing

Turing up your dial

Remembering good things

Anything that brings you joy

Drinking water or herbal tea

 How to close up shop. ( or to be less empathic)

 Have a sugary thing

Have a cocktail

Have a cigarette

Eat a carb

Wash you hands

Do something physical.

Scratch your head

Tell you cosmic posse that you are done for the day

And that you will return for service at whatever time you want

Signal to the universe that you are done. The signal can be what you want it to be.

Make your energy large and then wall it off.

Know your guides and talk to them.

They will help you.

Most of all, be good and kind and respectful to you. That means holding yourself accountable for the wellbeing of you. When you are a good parent to yourself, your inner child will glow and radiate your energy to spectacular levels.

I can See Clearly now the Funk is gone. Space Clearing.

It seems I give this information out fairly regularly during readings, or in class. I offer it gladly, because I think it’s important. It’s part of good psychic hygiene. However, I know, at least for me, when someone tells me things while I am out and about, the likelihood of my remembering them is pretty slim. So, I thought it might be nice to be able to hand folks my card and tell them that this info is all in a blog. So, here is the info…you guessed it, all in a blog.

We shall name it “Simple House Clearing” 

Is there a more complicated house clearing? You betcha. However, today we are sticking to the simple and most widely used versions of house clearings. Wondering what the heck I am talking about? Well, we empathic folk tend to pick up energy. We also put out energy in pretty big ways. Not all of this energy is happy sunshiny, awesome day at a shoe sale with free lunch kind of energy. A fair amount of this energy we pick up or manufacture can be angry or sad or fearful or any other of the non-happy variety. Lower vibrational energy can really get you down. It is important to handle it and keep your space vibrating at a high frequency. That way YOU are more likely to vibrate at a high frequency. We all know that high vibrations are what keep up healthy, happy and manifesting good stuff. Hooray for the good stuff.

How should you begin?

Well, start by cleaning your house. I mean actually cleaning your house. Negative energy loves clutter. Paper clutter especially. So, get your clutter in check. Sweep your floors. Dust your tchotchkes. Do your laundry. Then we can move on to the energy clearing.

Rattling – Shaking the sugar out of the blues

Rattling shakes up stagnant energy. You can purchase rattles made specifically for clearings. You can make your own from a jar of beans or a box of dog treats or a box of cereal. Rattle all over the place, especially in dark or lonely corners or places that don’t see a lot of activity.

Bells

Bells do the same thing as rattling. They do have a higher vibration and will for sure bring out any lower vibratory energy that has collected in a space. Please be aware that bells are a high vibration and lower vibrations will not like it, so be sure to be ready to smudge immediately after ringing.

Crystal or Tibetan Singing Bowls

These bowls can be played in one of two ways: by striking the side of the bowl or by running a mallet continuously around the rim of the bowl. Either will quickly clear lower vibration out of a room. It is always good to spend a few minutes meditating with the bowl to set the intention to move energy before you begin. Play the bowl facing all directions of each room.

Clearing out the energy

Now that you have the energy stirred up, it is time to move it out. Smudging is the number one way to move stagnant energy (please remember that spirits are energy) from a space.

White sage smudge sticks are commonly found in Native American stores or from local metaphysical stores. Heck you can even find them on good old Amazon. There are some great books on smudging and blessing. However, I think smudging is more powerful if you develop your own method and practice. It is all about intention, just remember to speak in positives. I would suggest you do this no less than once per month. More if you feel like the energy needs clearing.

Smudging Technique

You will need:

White candle – Your smudge stick is going to go out. I feel like it is much handier and much easier to have a candle to light the sage again, rather than stopping everything and flicking my Bic twenty seven times. Oh and you will need a…

Smudge Stick- That is a bundle of white sage, sometimes with other herbs included.

Something to put the smudge stick out in and also to tap the ashes into. ( some people like to use abalone shells) Use what you have handy that won’t melt or burn. I used an old metal peanut butter lid for years.

Your favorite prayer written out. I use the Lord’s Prayer. You don’t have to pray if that doesn’t fit your belief system. Just write out your intentions so that you can have them handy to read. Sometimes negative energy will stump an empath. So, it’s best to have a script to keep you on track.

You will be starting in the top most corner of your house and you will work down to the lower part of the house. If you have a basement that does not lead to the outside, you might want to have a second person smudging at the same time so that you can meet in the middle. You will need to either crack a window or a door in the last room that you will be smudging. This is where we will move the energy out of the house.

So, you have chosen the first room.

Imagine the room that you are in is a clock. Start at the twelve o’clock position and light the smudge stick. It will smoke thickly. Fan the smoke all over that immediate space and say your prayer and or your intention.

I like to say to say the Lord’s Prayer and then say: I raise the vibration of this room to promote: Love, happiness, peace, harmony, prosperity, joyfulness, laughter and spirituality.

Move clockwise to the one o’clock position. Do the same thing.

Move clockwise around the entire room. If the sage goes out, re-light it with the white candle.

Be sure to fan the smoke all over the room, all the way to the ceiling and in every nook and cranny.

Move to the next room and do the same thing.

Continue through the entire house, ending in the last room. You should finish at the cracked window or door. Say your prayers and or intentions once more in front of the window or door as you fan the smoke out the door or window. Close the window or door.

At this point, I like to either put sea salt down or wipe with lemon juice.

Smudge yourself and everyone in the house.

Smudging moves out the negative energy. You will need to replace that with positive energy.

Follow up smudging by burning sweet grass in every room to bring in positive energy.

And that is that. You should notice a difference in energy and in moods in the house.

Don’t have time to do this whole ritual? Does the smell of sage bother people in your home? That’s okay. You can use Florida Water ( also on Amazon) put it with some water in a spray bottle and use it instead of sage. If you need some simple touch ups, Florida water added to your mop water or your surface cleaner will help. Just remember to do your prayer work while you

Happy Smudging!

Singin’ In The Bathtub. An Energy clearing bath for every Body.

Hello Duckies…

I’ve decided to switch gears with this blog and actually tell you some trick and tips of how to love yourself through it. I’ve been blogging for years about my own struggles in loving myself. So, I thought it was high time that I start sharing some of the tools that I have put in my own toolbox of love.

One of the first thing that we should talk about it energy. I will imagine that if you are looking at a psychic’s website, you may already know what I mean. Everything has energy. You have energy. I have energy. Plants and animals have energy. Spirits are energy. If you are empathic, you sense this energy easily and sometimes intensely. I’m sure you have walked into a place and suddenly felt like you wanted to get out of there. Maybe you get drained when with a certain person, or find that you get irritated without reason, when in a crowd. There is a simple explanation for it…energy.

If we break this down to a simplified way of thinking, we can imagine our skin. I mean our actual skin. Our skin gets oily, or sweaty or grimy on a day to day basis. The more things we touch, the grimier our skin gets. What do we do when that happens? We take a bath, or a shower.

So, our energy is much the same. It stands out from our body at least 6 inches away. When we talk with people our energies touch. When we are and about, our energy picks up the energy of the places we go. The closer we get and the more intimate the contact with some one else, the more of their energy we collect. Why do we do this? Because we are empathic.

Being an empathic person is simultaneously fabulous and difficult. It is beautiful to be able to sense what a person needs. It helps us be better nurturers and healers and parents and spouses. We instinctively know when someone needs a hug, or a hand or just a shoulder to cry on, and because we are healers, we are ready to offer the needed thing.

So what do we do about cleaning our energy? We take a bath.

What? Not a bath taker…well, make a spray out of the listed ingredients below and spray it on you before you shower.

I will say that I believe baths to be superior over shower when it comes to energy clearing.

Below is my favorite home made bath and procedure that I have using for about 25 years. It never ever fails me what my intention is correctly focused.

This bath is what Give Up the Funk bath salt and bath bomb were modeled after.

I love this bath and I take one personally every Saturday night ( whether I need it or not)

Happy Splashing!

My Personal Favorite Clearing Bath and Procedure

( You are gonna want to get everything wet from head to toe )

You will need:

2 Lemons ( lemon oil may be substituted, 4 drops) Please understand that if you use lemon essential oil, you must use epsom salts for the oil to dissapate in the water.

1 cup Epsom Salt

½ cup of Sea Salt ( fine grind)( because sitting in gravel is no one’s idea of a good time.)

3 drops of clary sage essential oil or any oil that suits you.

1 tub of wonderfully warm water.

Cut and squeeze lemons into bath water

Add additional ingredients

Light the candle and place where you can see it from the tub. Please be sure that it isn’t in front of a fan or a vent.

Say a prayer of significance 3x ( I say the Lord’s Prayer)

Say a prayer to a significant feminine ( I say the Hail Mary) 3x

Get in the tub.

Call in Archangel Uriel

Ask for assistance in connecting to the Divine.

Say, “Thank you.”

Advertisements

Report this ad

Call in Archangel Michael.

Ask that he cut all cords of connection

Ask that all energy that does not serve your highest good be removed from your energy.

Imagine that he is doing these things. See him in your mind doing these things.

Say, “Thank you.”

Call in Archangel Raphael

Ask that all deficits of energy be refilled.

Ask that love be placed in your heart

Ask to receive any healing that is deemed acceptable by the Divine.

Say, “Thank you.”

Call in Archangel Gabriel

Ask to given any messages that your guides or angels my need to give to you.

Ask Gabriel to touch your language so that you may speak love easily.

Say “Thank you.”

Say beginning prayers 3x each

As you ask for assistance. Imagine that the angels are doing these things. Imagine that you see them. Speak to them if you feel the urge.

All the while, it is important to keep an eye on your candle. Watch the flame. If the flame is long and tall and still, you may be getting some Divine assistance. If the candle is flickering, you are more than likely moving energy away from you. That is the point, to get that non beneficial energy away from yours.

Exit tub. Soak no more than twenty minutes.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
