If you only knew...

If you have ever felt alone, this is for you. You are here for a reason, and you have beings that are with you to make sure you feel supported!

Hello Lovely People!,

I wanted to post an updated version of this blog post from a while back!

One way that I have grown is knowing, and really comprehending the fact, that I am never, EVER alone. Of course, I knew this before in my head but sometimes be heart doubted it, but a quote from A Course In Miracles really put this in perspective for me:

ACIMTWA

 

To me, it became crystal clear when I was really worrying about something going on in my life. I had become almost frantic. I was consumed with thoughts about how “I” could change my situation, or how “I” could fix it. Then, I decided to watch Gabby Bernstein. Now, it’s no secret that I have parted ways with Gabby and her community. However, her teachings have really elevated me and helped me to be able to choose love over fear, however I am human and we all can sink back into that fear state at any given moment.  So I turned on Gabby and heard her say a quote from the text A Course In Miracles: “If you knew Who walks beside you on this path which you have chosen, fear would be impossible.” . I remember thinking, ‘damn, this is good!’. So, in that moment, I decided that I would do my best to give up the constant fear that I was experiencing. That’s when things started to change.

I began to open up my heart and life even more to those beings of Love and Light that were just waiting for me to give the “okay”. Something important that you should know is that you can have every Angel on Earth and in Heaven on your side, but if you don’t let them help you then they can’t. Every being has to respect your freewill choices, so make the choice to let them in and let’s get to it!

I FIRMLY believe we have a wonderful team of Angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters (Gods and Goddesses, and other Enlightened Beings), Dragons, and more that are with us every single day. In fact, I know it to be so. The purpose of this post is to give you a bit of guidance into how these beings can help you in your every day life! Let’s get started!

DRAGONS:

Dragons are fourth (and higher) dimensional beings that are tasked with clearing away and consuming a lot of the denser energies, whereas Angels do not necessarily do that. They help us raise our vibration to rise above those energies. However, sometimes we need to help of Dragons when that denser and lower energy is all around us. Dragons are the way makers, the clearers, and the transmutat-ers, that help us keep our energy clear and high vibrational. Dragons are elementals, like Unicorns and Fairies, and therefore have a very grounding impact on you even though they fly high in the sky! There are hundreds of different types of Dragons but the main 4 that will be working with are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Now, most of the time your personal Dragon will correspond with the Element of your Zodiac Sign, so Cancer will have a Water Dragon, Leo will have a Fire Dragon, and so on. Dragons also have a real ability to get stagnant energy moving again and help you to get ‘unstuck’, if you are feeling that way. Now, I want to give you specialties of the 4 Dragons I mentioned earlier.

Fire Dragons: Burning away lower energies and protecting you from them

Earth Dragons: Keeping you grounded, prosperity, and growth

Water Dragons: Emotional Well-being and Psychic Abilities

Air Dragons: Soaring above earthly matters and seeing from a different perspective.

*Prayer to Connect with Your Dragon* Dear (Kind of Dragon), I ask that you come and fly around me, protect me, and clear the way for new energy to come to me. I ask for your assistance in (name the issue) and thank you for responding to me. So It is.

Now, I had never really heard about Dragon energy until I had signed up for an Online Course with the AMAZING Diana Cooper called, “Meet Your Dragons”. Now, this idea intrigued me but I wasn’t completely sold. But, I was doing the course, watching the videos and doing the meditations, and I began to really sense there was something more to it! So, I decided to meet my Dragon (and earth Dragon named Rory) and began cultivating that relationship by asking for his help, along with Air, Water, Fire, and Violet Flame, Dragons. I began to notice how much more protected I felt, and how I could honestly sense a change in my demeanor when I asked for their help.

Find out what Dragon is with you!

Then, something even more amazing happened: The Dragon Oracle Cards by Diana Cooper were released and my relationship with the Dragons drastically changed for the better. Not only was I able to find new Dragons, but the guidance from them was phenomenal! I highly recommend them, you can snag them here

ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS:

Now, if you know me then you know I adore Angels. I love them to the moon and back and work with them daily. Angels are messengers of God (Universe, Source, whatever) and are tasked with helping us throughout our lives. This particular section is going to focus on Archangels more than Angels, as they are the overseers of the Angels. Each of us has at least 2 Guardian Angels, plus regular Angels, that surround us at all times. However, Archangels have specific specialties that we are going to touch on. Since there are 15 main Archangels, I am going to go over 4 Main ones for times sake:

Gabriel: Messengers, help in parenting, communication

Michael; Protection, Life Purpose, Clearing Energy

Ariel: Manifesting, Animal well-being, Nature

Uriel: Epiphanies, Inspiration, and Manifesting

*Prayer to Connect with Archangels* Dear Loving Universe/God/Whoever and Archangel (Name), I am asking you to come and stand beside me, guide me, and help me with (name the issue). I ask that you send me signs of your presence, love, and support. So it is.

I’ve been working with Angels for years now, and the impact on my life has been amazing. Sometimes, we feel a disconnect from a Higher Power and that keeps us from asking for help. Angels have a lower vibration that God, so they are more easily reached to be able to help us in times of need, meeting us halfway to listen to our needs. I ask for the help of my Angels ever single day and they never fail me! They won’t fail you either!

Cultivate a deeper connection with your Angels in the “Angels & You” Program!

ASCENDED MASTERS:

Ascended Masters are Gods, Goddesses, and Enlightened Individuals that help us, in conjunction with The Universe and the Angels and Dragons, to be the best that we can be and to step into our true power and potential. Now, my view of Gods and Goddesses is this: The Divine is pure light. That’s all it is, Light and Love. That light shines through a Diamond that has many different faces and what we perceive to be separate deities are actually all coming from the same light, we just see different faces of that Diamond. I also feel that it helps us to be able to connect easier with the Ascended Master’s because the idea of a deity is easier to comprehend sometimes that speaking directly to “Light”. So when I ask Ganesha for help, I am truly asking a personification of the The Divine to help me. Now, that being said, I believe that each personification requires the utmost respect and devotion, because they are still to be revered. Like the previous sections, I am going to outline 4 Ascended Masters that I love to work with:

Ganesha: Hindu God of Prosperity and Lifter of Obstacles

Kuan Yin: Buddhist Goddess of Divine Compassion and Love

Isis: Egyptian Goddess of Magic, Personal Power, and Manifestation

Mother Mary: Mother of Jesus,  Master of Divine Love and Peace, Forgiveness, and Motherhood.

*Invocation of Ascended Master* I humbly ask that (Name) comes into my presence now. I humbly open my life and heart to your love and assistance. Help me to know and feel that you are with me and please show me the most high vibrational way in dealing with (issue). I thank you for your assistance and So It Is.

I have had wondrous success working with these beings, and I know that you will too! 

I truly hope that these beings offer you the love, happiness, and support that you need in your life right now.

No longer a Spirit Junkie

Ugh, I wasn’t going to do this. But I got a sign from the Universe today that basically told me to not be a bitch and do it. 

I have had many teachers on my spiritual path. Some have stayed with me, some I have kept, some I have let go of entirely.

However this situation is different. In 2016 or thereabouts, I pre-ordered The Universe has  you back to get access to the free manifesting workshop. Now, I hate to admit this, but I was going to cancel the preorder after the workshop because, even then, I couldn’t afford to buy a book.

This changed instantly when the workshop started. I felt so much peace and joy and serenity. I felt empowered and emboldened to live and step into my purpose. I became so at peace and genuinely full of faith in the universe.

That point changed everything for me. I soaked up everything Gabby offered. Everything. Books, courses, YouTube videos, you name it. I would spend my days off watcher her videos and crying my eyes out because it was exactly what I needed to hear. 

So, when the opportunity presented itself to go to Spirit Junkie Masterclass, I jumped at it. It was a wonderful experience. I met so many amazing friends and people. But that also started something in me that I didn’t tell many people about.

While at Spirit Junkie, I couldn’t shake this feeling of being left out of everything. I felt alone because I didn’t sign up to be an essential oils salesman or buy all this whatever the fuck. I remember sending $80 that I didn’t have on a Mala bead necklace to fit in. 

I felt that the material was great, but there was a tad of an elitist vibe to it. Now, this isn’t saying I’m not grateful for having been invited, I am. But I felt something I couldn’t quite explain. 

So I came home and did my thing. Started buying essential oils that I didn’t give two shits about, started become super active in the facebook groups, but I still just didn’t fit in. I felt like since I wasn’t a “coach” or “wellness coach”/“advocate” that I wasn’t really a priority for people to interact with because they couldn’t make money off of me. 

Now, keep in mind that during this time I was still following Doreen Virtue heavily. So I was also very heavily involved there as well.

Doreen was occupying the top pedestal with Gabby occupying the one right below it. I let that pedestal distract me from what was really going on.

I realized quickly that there were some questionable people in the Spirit Junkie Community. People who were projecting this larger than life lifestyle while getting caught with drugs, people basically worshipping the ground Gabby walked on like she was God, and people who thought that calling themselves “Spirit Junkies” gave them an advantage over any other kind spiritual path/person.

This really took a turn when friends of mine got fucked over by SJ’s They called out the spirit junkie community as a whole, and even Gabby, but nothing was done to rectify and situations. I admit, I turned a blind eye to some of it and wrote it off as being made to be bigger than it was because I didn’t want to see fault in another teacher. I didn’t want to be let down. 

But it kept nagging at me, and I kept getting off-putting vibes from the people but I still soaked up the information like a sponge.

I posted Gabby’s work 1) because it actually helped (and some still does help) me and 2) I wanted gain followers. That’s why you use hashtags, so people can find your stuff. That’s literally the whole point.

But even that begin to change. It was brought to my attention first by one friend, then by another, how toxic the SJ community is, and I quickly began to see that. In a facebook group, a black woman posted about her disappointment in the response from Gabby about the black lives matter movement and begged her to do more and speak up more. This white lady posted that “she is really working through the judgment detox journal” and suggests that this woman do that. 

Judgement Detox will not stop systemic racism and the killing of unarmed black people.

That pissed me off. 

Then, a SJ who is just a crazy fucking psychotic bitch, threatened one of my friends and nothing was done about it by Gabby. It was a “forgive and delete” conversation.

I admit my part of the hypocrisy by not calling out teachers out of ignorance and fear of being retaliated against. I’m sorry for that. 

That’s bullshit. 

The Spirit Junkie Community from 2018 on, I have left in the dust.

I had one bitch tell me “I have an army of positive light warriors on my side so don’t come for me”. Well, apparently your light and mine are different as fuck, so you can keep yours.

 If we are friends from there, and still talk, then I love you and hope we can still be friends after this. I just can’t gloss over behavior like this from spiritual groups and teachers anymore. I can’t.

So, I am in the process of leaving the groups, unfollowing people, I’ve already blocked a million of them, and setting my new course. No matter what, I know the Universe Has My Back.
