As we move through our days we are bombarded with stories and news. Lines of gossip of who did what and with whom are on the news, in our phones and around our homes. It is subtle but this vein of energy is destructive in nature and causes us to draw our attention from our own self-power to things we cannot control. When we energize that outside of us, we lessen ourselves; when we do so unknowingly, doubly so. It is for us to practice discernment of the people, places, things, and topics that take Joy away from us. If you have only found ways to fight with your mother instead of sharing a moment with her, then perhaps it is time to create some distance. In setting boundaries with those things that constantly drain us, we have more energy to direct to what we do want in our life.
Gossip is one of the single most damaging things to a society; It eats at the mortar of our very foundation. It is this way because it is so insidious and simple in nature. A juicy bit of story or “spilling the tea,” is such a tempting conversation to delve into. However each time one does, they engage in diminishing another and themselves. There are many sides to every story and engaging in only one of them affirms a partial truth without giving an opportunity for the wholeness of what has happened. This is a massive drain on energy. Think about the time spent on talking about others that could be spent writing, drawing, meditating, building etc. There is an infinite amount of creation that can be energized with that freedom of thought, and a return to Joy that follows. Answering stories with compassion in place of judgement removes the continuation of that energy from us.
Furthermore we create with our words and our creations work as a projection and reflection. That which I say about another is true about myself. As I speak ill of another, even in repeating a story, I evoke a part of myself that is in vibration with that story, lowering myself and my idea of that person. When I call someone out for being “stubborn,” “bullheaded,” “rude,” etc. In order for me to even acknowledge that exists, I must be in resonance with it. We are like tuning forks creating sounds that everyone else can listen to. In essence, that which I project, I am.
Beyond gossip, we can shield ourselves from situations and people as well who drain our time and resources. One of the simplest methods is not adding to it. By this we do not energize the conversation at all. When someone says something that is intended to trigger, provoke or illicit more from us, simply nod or give a small response. This is a passive way to let things slide and eventually people will begin to seek new sources for their drama, gossip and fighting. Each time we successfully do this, we will experience less of the frequency and resonance of that which is lower or damaging. Our tuning forks begin to shift pitches.
A more active approach is setting boundaries. In cases where subtlety or withdrawing our energy is not enough, we use the power of our voice and intention to speak into reality what our desire is. “I do not like it when you talk to me that way. It is important that you share your feelings, but I do not wish to be spoken to like that again.” Is an example of how we may diminish future conflict with a family member who constantly provokes us. “I am not interested in talking about people when they are not here.” Is a way in which we can create a solid line between us and rumors. These small conversations may seem difficult at first, but they are greatly empowering and build on themselves.
We can also call in our angelic helpers and spirit helpers to guide us away from these situations. They are eager to help and wait patiently to be called upon. At times we may be unsure of how we feel about a situation and they will make it abundantly clear who or what is causing our inner disturbance and will offer direction on the best course of action. When these bursts of intuition come, follow them. With each successive step, and each time we listen, we are harnessing our own sovereign power and directing it into our lives again. The more often we do this, the less we feel taken advantage of and diminished by things outside of ourselves. We can then refocus on what really matters, our creations, our fun and our family. We are then ready to tune into what may come in next, pure potential.
All the Love,

Fasting Notes:
Today is Day One Today is Day One Today is Day One.
I am hyper aware of who to engage with and who to speak with later. It is not a judgement of people, but an awareness of those I can help, and are ready to be uplifted or accept help, and those who are going to take energy and time. I have plenty of time right now but am not eager to waste energy. That same person may be in a different mindset or mood later and then I am more willing to engage.
Also, I have very little to offer anyone right now. Speaking more than a few words in a row is becoming very difficult. I am amazed at the ease with which I have been able to type throughout this whole journey because all other activity, such as walking, speaking and even bringing water to my lips feels taxing. Sharing with you all and channeling for people who come into the store is what energizes me and it seems to feed itself.
Emotionally there is a sense that I have found the remnants. I feel as I have scraped out the last bit of peanut butter from the jar and there is nothing left but jar. At night my entire being will shake with convulsing sorrow and weeping for a time and then I will return to peace. The amount of love I have received from my helpers in the forms of Angels and Extra Terrestrial helpers has been incredible. I am thankful for their support. I would not have made it to today without them.
I am hosting a live seminar on May 21 6PM CT to speak on the 40 days. You can join in person at Earth and Soul in Sand Springs, OK or online here: Upcoming Events
