We are living in a WiFi era so I thought it was fitting to inform you how to keep yourself safe in this day and age. EMF is short for Electromagnetic Field. Many devices such as our phones, microwaves, lamps, computers, and many other types of technologies have these fields. They emit harmful EMF’s. Harmful EMF's can change the naturally occurring frequencies in our body to unhealthy frequencies causing unhealthy tissue and disease. The length of time it takes to make this change can be seconds, hours, years or decades based upon strength of the field, the particular frequency, wave length of the frequency, length of exposure, health of your body and more. 


There is so much research out there on this if you’d like to search more. I just wanted to give you the basics because the bottom line is that we know it’s bad for us. 


What are the solutions?


The best solution is distance from EMF.


Don’t use outdated microwaves. 


Turn your wifi devices off at night to give your body a chance to rest. This is super quick and easy to do. Turn off all Ipads, kindles, nooks, computers, etc. and put your cell phone on airplane mode. Your alarm will still work and your life will be fine, I promise. I do it every night. 


Give the TV a rest sometimes. 


Buy protection devices to use on your cell phone and computer, or other EMF radiating devices you use and have around you a lot. There are stickers you can place on your devices and there are beads etc. that you can wear around your neck or wrist or in your pocket. You can also put a bead around your pet’s collar to help them too. There are also devices you can put in your home to protect you as well. Who cares if not many people are doing it. Our society isn’t big on preventative care. Be smart. Protect yourself and your family. Let’s be loud and proud!


Here is the link for the bead you can use for yourself and your pet. It’s inexpensive and has good reviews. But there are a ton of other sources online to research.

Crystals and Stones are also helpful. You can wear these in jewelry or in your pocket. Here is the list I found online. 

Use Amazonite to block and absorb all types of EMF emissions and the objects that give off these emissions.  This in turn protects you from having these EMF's enter your energy field.

For cell phones, Aventurine (any color) will help to act as an EMF barrier, absorbing the energy and protecting you from it.  Try taping a piece to your cell phone or wearing Aventurine earrings.

If you are around computers all day, set up a small grid using a combination of Fluorite.  Blue Fluorite and/or Purple Fluorite work very well for this purpose.  Wear a lovely Rainbow Fluorite pendant, necklace or bracelet.

Try sitting a few tumbled Sodalite on top of your desktop computer (or tape to a lap top) to block and clear any EMF emanations.

Place black Tourmaline or Lepidolite under your computer screen (or between you and the screen) to help clear and protect.

Other crystals and stones that can assist in clearing/neutralizing EMF's would be Turquoise, Herkimer Diamonds, Jasper, and/or Unakite.

 A combination of natural Smokey Quartz (not the irradiated kind) and Selenite. Smoky Quartz absorbs all types of electromagnetic smog/pollution when placed between you and the source of EMF's. The Selenite clears the Smoky Quartz, the area, and you--all at the same time!

Diamonds can indeed be your best friend! Diamonds block all types of electromagnetic pollution.

Want to deflect that radiation from your Microwave? Place Yellow Kunzite around the microwave. Malachite is another helpful stone to guard against radiation. It also clears EMF's.

Healers across the globe have also shared how certain crystals work for them and their clients when dealing with EMF's. Cacoxenite has been used with success.  One healer shared her use of Blue Kyanite to balance the electromagnetic fields.  A local healing friend loves to use Smithsonite and/or Ajoite.

I hope this helps you take at least one step in the right direction to protect yourself from EMF’s. Feel free to pass this email along to someone you know who loves technology and may benefit. You’ll be doing them a huge service. 

(Note: Most of this is other people's research that I compiled researching online.)

I’ve been open these days. Open to having the Divine show me something new. Show me something really, really cool. Something mind-blowing. Something healing. 

I walked into a brand new, nicely put together yoga studio last month.  It was filled with head-wrapped, feather wearing, healthy-eating yogis. We were all there for an ecstatic dance event. There was a sweet woman all in white, tucked in the corner giving out essential oil samples while we waited to enter the main studio. 

Because I had some time to kill, I grabbed my generous serving of an herbal tea sample and headed over to the woman in the corner. “What do you have here?” I politely asked, not really having much interest.  She said she was sampling essential oils. I asked if she had something for the nervous system. She handed me an oil. I smelled and I thought, “Ok, that’s nice but I guess it just smells good. This fun scratch and sniff ordeal will kill a little time while I wait for the big event.” Then I get to talking to her a bit. I explain I’m a healer who has done a lot of my own healing over the past 5 years and I still have a couple symptoms I’m working on healing now. She looked at me like she was gazing at a sunset for a minute. Then she handed me something. “Smell this one,” she said. 

What happened to me in that moment was nothing short of magical. Love filled my body and gratitude filled my eyes. I began to cry. But, it wasn’t me crying you see. It was energy. Moving through. Caused by one little magical bottle of oil. I hugged her, for what seemed like ten minutes, but was probably only shy of one. I proclaimed, “I had no idea they were so powerful.” She replied calmly, “It’s your time.”

So this nay-saying, oil-doubting healer woke up that day. I am forever changed. Essential oils aren’t just these nice things that smell good, that massage therapists sometimes use to cover awkward, accidental smells that may happen behind those closed doors. No, that’s not it at all. Actually, it’s so far from it. 

These oils are magical. They are plants and seeds and barks. The ones she shared with me that night are therapeutic grade and they can literally replace your entire medicine cabinet. 

They heal emotional wounds. They detox your body. They can be used instead of steroids as an anti-inflammatory. They can be used in place of antibiotics. You can clean your house with them. You can meditate with them and help you connect with spirit. You can use as a sleep aid. You can clear your skin or mend your wounds or uplift your moods or even help boost your immune system so much that your tumors begin to shrink. There are countless healing properties and these are only a few examples. 

These oils are nature. Western medicine is synthetic and can’t fuse with your cells. The oils are phyto nutrients so they can actually merge with your cells and heal you on a cellular level. They are “God in a bottle” as I like to say. Natural healing at it’s finest.  There are countless uses for these little blessings. This brand is ingestible because it is so pure. You can even cook with them! 

Most are even safe to use on animals. My dog had gone deaf because of the antibiotics his vet put him on for an ear infection. I was devastated because I didn’t know if his hearing would come back. With a little reiki, time and patience, he ended up getting his hearing back but I was weary of ever doing that to him again.  A few months passed and my sweet boy found a few-day-old salami sub on the side of the road, causing his allergies to act up and yet another ear infection to manifest. This time I had to think outside of the box. I was new to the oils but I grabbed my oil bible and looked in the dog section. Five days later, after a little bottle of an oil called purity rubbed in his ear, my little guy is ear infection free, no deaf side effects. 

I’m hearing numerous stories of people whose lives have changed by using these oils. They allow us the opportunity to heal our bodies naturally, on a cellular level. They support us, repair us, relieve us and love us. And I sure as heck love them too. 

My hope is to bring these oils to those who need them the most. People like me, who have no idea what’s in store. I want to connect them to the people who will appreciate them and benefit from their selfless magic as well.

If you are anything like me, you may have forgotten that you are safe. Well you are. Like, super safe. As safe as can be. 

We are pure, 100% love and love is so safe. We were born that way! The only thing not safe is our thinking about things. And when our thinking can get out of control, the world on the outside seems a bit unsafe and overwhelming. 

I want to share a little story with you.

I have this weird aversion to working out. I’ll do it for a while and love it when I’m doing it but then a few weeks will go by and I’ll look back and realize I’ve stopped making a point to be active. Resistance to our greatest selves comes in many forms. This is one of mine. 
Anything that doesn’t come from love comes from fear, so my guess is that in some way shape or form, I’m fearing working out. I’m not 100% sure the root cause, but that doesn’t even matter. My guess is that I may be afraid I’d be hurting my physical body too much if I work out a lot, that I will be wasting time when other things are more important, that if I look good I’ll get too much unwanted attention.  The list could go on, but these are all just thoughts anyway. Untruths. 

How do I remind myself I’m safe? 

We just need to gently re-parent ourselves back to the truth. And this part is easy! 
Here’s how.

When you have an inspired action arise in your mind, then some resistance pops us, try that thing anyway. Fear doesn’t mean you need to stop doing something. It doesn’t mean it’s actually unsafe. It just means you have a lot of thought around it. 

For example, I was in the resisting exercise phase today and I decided to throw my sneakers on late at night and just jog around the block while I took my dog out for his nighttime walk. As I did this, I made myself consciously aware of how safe I was. “See Jamie, this is fun. My body actually feels good! I’m enjoying sweating and moving and I actually do like it. It’s safe.” This awareness made a huge difference. It allowed me to reaffirm the truth, that I am safe while taking an action my mind thought was unsafe. I could see how silly my mind was being and how right on my soul was. The more I do this, the more the fear can take a back seat. It’s just about teaching that little kid inside that she’s ok to go out there and live. Many of us are afraid of little things like this. Nothing is too small to cheer yourself on for. Just keep taking small steps toward new ideas, common sense, things that inspire you or even excite you, and when you are doing them, remind yourself that you are safe there. It seems so simple but it can have a profound impact. Your life will open up. I can promise you that! Join me in my newest course to transform your life (by clicking on the title) Profound Healing Through Self Love to ground these teachings in deeper.

I was walking among my tree friends listening to one of my favorite mentor's podcasts (Say that three times fast). On the recording was a woman talking about something many of us can relate to. She was saying that she tries to recreate the feeling of love before she does anything important because she doesn’t want to take action from any other state. Do you relate?

I used to think that I needed to do that too. If I was unhappy or angry, my mind would tell me that it was a bad time to write. If I felt uninspired, I believed deeply it was a bad time to create. I was sure this was my heart. I’m never surprised at how disguised our ego can be. My ego was the one keeping me from taking action until I felt a certain way. A way it deemed "safe" or "appropriate". The ego has a sneaky way of playing the “until” game. I need to wait to ask that guy out “until” I lose ten pounds. I need to wait to do yoga “until” I’m in perfect health and my body can handle it. I need to wait to ask that agent for representation “until” I feel more confident. You get the point. It’s all ego. You and I don’t need to wait “until” we feel a certain way to do something.
​
We can easily take action from what occurs to us in the moment. The present moment. We need not plan. What feels right now? Go in that direction. Loosen your grip. Have fun. Be playful. And don’t wait. Write when you are unhappy. Have sex when you are sad. Go to that job interview even if you’re nervous. These “less than love feelings” don’t mean you shouldn’t do what your wisdom and common sense tell you to do in the moment. It’s just your ego’s fancy way of keeping you from your greatness. And this world needs your greatness. If you'd like to come back home to your soul, your heart, your light, I've got you. Click here for a free call with me to find out how I can serve you in coming back home.

​A beautiful, new idea pops like a tart into my head. “I should call this doctor I used to know and share how healing the essential oils have been for me. I bet she could help people with them too. Hmm...cool,” I think. Then the dreaded floodgates of the mind open. “I can’t do that. I haven’t talked to her in years. I’ll sound silly. I’ll sound too salesy since I haven’t talk to her in so long. Maybe another time,” I proclaim. This is the ol’ heart speaking then ego overriding mechanism we humans are all too familiar with. So what do we tend to do? We wait to call the doctor. If we are lucky, we listen to our heart and do it anyway.

It’s been brought to my attention, so I wanted to bring it to your attention too that I think we’ve got it all backwards.

Love, which is the formless energy that powers us, that we are tapped into at all times, is pulsing through our being. We get these cool ideas all the time that are in alignment with this loving energy like, “Hmm, I should call that doctor.” And we say no to this. But it’s LOVE! Love is safe and kind and lovey dovey and cozy. It wants what we want. It has our best interest at heart. And we say no.
​
I say we have it backwards because what we do innocently and unknowingly is follow the voice of fear instead. We think fear is safe and love is scary. We follow the familiar voices that don’t have our best interest at heart. We just think they do because they are familiar. Familiar doesn’t mean truth. So the next time you start following internal suggestions that are sounding or feeling complex, scary, hurried or uncomfortable; wait a minute. Let that pass. Love will come back on line to tell you what to do next. It’s always there, no fail. We must be insane to follow fear and not love, but we do it all day. We just need to learn to lean into love more and more and remind ourselves how beautifully safe it is there. The scales will begin to tilt in the right direction. Let’s “unbackwards” ourselves and set the heart free.

As a human, sometimes it’s so hard to do things differently than everyone else.  And at other times, it’s so much fun, when you are existing in your non- human, super cool, soul self of love. Bob Marley should have written a song titled “Non-human, super cool, soul self of love.”

I’ve always seen things differently than others or been a bit of a non-conformist at heart. I have inklings to do things differently and I’m learning to listen to that voice. I find myself hearing my intuition loud and clear to do things differently than the herd. Then I find myself doing it the way I always did it because, “that’s probably the way I SHOULD be doing it” err well, “everyone else does it that way”, err well,” that’s what the experts say to do! “ But that all happens out of fear and habit. It’s been the neural pathway in my brain for so long, it’s just doing what it knows to do. But, I’m ready to do things differently, I’m so ready to fly and I want you to join me. 

So, I’ve begun an experiment. Even if what my intuition says doesn’t seem rational or smart to my brain, I’m attempting to do what feels right anyway. Key word, “feels”.  When doing this you can’t worry about what others think of you. You have to be brave. Be Cat Woman or  He-man or I kinda prefer Polly Pocket even though she wasn’t a traditional super hero. She can make kids super happy being super small, so that says something. 

For example, I’ve been bombarded with so much information from different experts, well meaning doctors, books and friends about what food is best for me to eat. There is SO much information out there. And while I eat very healthy, I’ve been feeling like there is just something off about it all. I had a great conversation today with a client about intuitively eating. Your body knows what you need.  So I’ve decided to stop listening to what I’m SUPPOSED to be doing and check in with myself and ask myself what I NEED in that moment, even if its “weird”. It’s stepping out of the mind and into the heart. Again, it takes a bit of courage and it will feel slightly uncomfortable and off, but that’s so expected. 

Lately I’ve been craving nurturing grains like oatmeal and toast and gluten free pancakes, but then my mind comes on board and yells like Marge Simpson, “You are eating way too many carbs and no enough protein, that’s no GOOOOOD” So, then I forced myself to eat some eggs and don’t you know, I felt sick. I’m usually cool with eggs but for some reason, right now my body wants what it wants. And I don’t feel like hearing it from the peanut gallery about how much protein I should be getting. Too much protein causes gas anyway!

Intuitively eating is such a way more fun way to live. I realized I wasn’t afraid of what other people thought of my new eating habits, I was more afraid of what I thought of my OWN eating habits. Ah ha moment.  Still human, check. 

When doing this experiment you don’t need to broadcast it to everyone. You can just test the waters to grow your confidence in your intuition. Have fun with it.  It may take a little time. The key is just to be honest with yourself.  There are a lot of haters out there who will trash talk this way of living because they just don’t get it or understand it. That’s ok. Our society wasn’t raised learning about intuition so it’s a strange thing to people who are unfamiliar with it. We don’t have art class, then gym, then intuition 101. (Even though I think that would be brilliant and I’m going to make it happen one day!)  But we are so lucky and blessed and some of us don’t even know it. We all have within us the answer of everything we need to know. This gives me so much peace. Who the heck wouldn’t tap into that!? The more we use it and it steers us in the right direction, the more we can learn to trust it. 

Now on another note, sometimes people can misinterpret fear for intuition. A good trick I learned is that if you are lost in thought and feel fear or another uncomfortable emotion, you don’t need to trust the messages you are getting when you are in that place. Most likely, it’s all fear-based thoughts. So wait until the thoughts settle and your mood shifts to a more comfortable feeling. You can trust the inklings and ideas you receive from that settled place. 

You can do this “feeling your way through life” thing in all areas of your existence. I am an actress and a healer among other things and sometimes there are moments when the booking are rocking and other times they are slower. In those moments, my mind freaks out and is in a mad rush for money. It wants me to suffer working every crap side job imaginable. But my heart knows I’m ok, that the next job or client is right around the corner. Then, when I can trust that, a rush of clients and bookings flow in. My heart knows I don’t need to scramble for low paying side work and hustle with the best of them. But then again, that’s me trusting it’s ok to do things differently. And not being afraid if people wonder why I’m not trying to work more or be responsible or yada yada or any of the other multitude of judgments out there. 

So, just stay true to yourself and do what feels right to you and you’ll be just fine. I know sometimes it is easier said than done, but if you can’t hear what your intuition is saying just yet, then wait, it will pop it’s loving head up soon. The truth is quiet, patient and kind. The ego (your fear) is not. It is hurried and rushed and restricted. Deep down you know the difference. So dare to be different with me and set sail for the wildly, delicious version of your life. Go Against the Grain (where the wild things are)

“Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will.”  W. Clement Stone

You know that word we all love so much? Lesson. Ew. Lesson. I hate it actually. Lesson this. Lesson that. “You need to learn your lesson.” “I have learned my lesson.” “Dang, I guess I can’t learn my lesson.” I mean, I guess I don’t really hate the word lesson. I’m grateful for it. If we can see obstacles as lessons than we can learn from them and stop doing silly things over and over again. So what’s the lesson I’ve learned that I’m dying to share?

It’s all about ACTION my friends.

One of my challenges in this lifetime, like so many of us, is fun fear and awesome anxiety. And the Universe is lovingly guiding me beyond that, little by little and I’d love to share what I’ve learned. It’s quite simple actually but our human minds like to make things complicated. 

In my content state, I will have an inspired action come to mind.  A new intuitive thought. Something simple to try, a person to call, an allergy test to take, you know, the usual. So I’ll have every good intention to do that thing. Sometimes I will and life will be great and magical. 

And then there is resistance. 

Resistance looks like the following. My mind comes online to give me every excuse as to why I can’t take my inspired action. “Jamie, you have to do the dishes instead of workout!” “Jamie, you seriously have got to rest and watch a movie instead of work on your business today.” Our mind likes to try to keep us safe by doing this but DON’T LISTEN TO IT. Especially if the original thought to do that thing came out of inspiration.  The trick here is to remember that fear is not really keeping you safe, it just thinks it is. You are far safer out there existing in the world, following your bliss, than playing it safe at home. Your soul is being suffocated if you aren’t letting it play. 

Side note: if your desired action comes from a place of fear, I’d inspect it a little and be curious as to your intention to do it.  You don’t ever need to take action out of fear. Fear is only coming from a place in your mind that is based on bad past experiences that it remembers and holds on to. Don’t let your mind trick you. Be smarter. You are smarter! You are infinite wisdom, love, stardust. Like the movie!

Another side note: I’m not saying to drive yourself crazy by doing a ton of things. I believe our society likes to work harder and not smarter and I’m not an advocate of that. But if you feel that thing inside that is telling you that you have so much more potential and you haven’t even tapped into that well spring yet, then in that case, get out there and live. But make sure you maintain a balance. It IS ok to take a break and rest too. Just listen to yourself. You know best!

So, how do you combat all of that mental mumbo jumbo? 

By taking action. 

Ask yourself or your guides or Goddess or Waldo or what have you, what the next step is and then follow that. Just do the next thing. Even if it feels uncomfortable. Even if it’s super teeny weenie. Actually, it probably will feel uncomfortable. Remember, it’s ALL IN YOUR MIND. Your inner guidance system knows everything that is best for you. Follow those inklings. Remind yourself what lights you up insight and DO THAT! Take action on that. I repeat, it’s ok if it’s scary. It’s ok if it’s scary! That doesn’t mean you aren’t supposed to do it. It just means that you have a lot of thought around that mental subject and you are feeling your thought. Just put one foot in front of the other and take that next ACTION. Because it’s in the action where the freedom lies. It’s in the action where the empowerment lies, the peace, the joy, and the expansiveness of who you are. Eventually that fear will turn to fairy dust and you’ll be like, what fear!? Then you’ll be writing blogs to tell everyone you know about it. You are capable of more than you can ever imagine. The only naysayer is your well-meaning brain. But why in the world would you listen to that anyway? Go out there and get em’ this week. What do you want? What does your heart want? And what’s the one next thing you can do to get it? Turn your mind off and just do it. It’s not as scary as your mind is making you think.
​
Now. Go. Fly.

The most 'funnest', coolest, shortest cut to healing.

There is an epidemic spreading through America. Overworkitis. Somehow, somewhere along the line, we collectively decided to believe that we are supposed to work really hard, make lots of sacrifices, squash our dreams, think passion is only for special people and limit the word fun from our vocabulary. I’m here to take a stand against that mumbo jumbo and attempt to show you the other side of the coin.

If you are pursuing your passion and work feels fun, then great, you are on the right track. But there are so many Americans who were raised with certain belief systems that they continue to cling to and believe as true when it isn’t THEIR truth. It’s their parents’ or teachers’ or societies’ truth. “ I have to work hard to pay the bills.” “Money doesn’t come easy.”  “ Life is a struggle.” These are only a few examples. I’m sure you can figure out which ones you have held on to and see as true. And when we see them as true, our mind will continue to show us examples of these statements for the rest of our lives, so we can continue to prove ourselves right. But living here allows us to only see such a small piece of the pie. 

I believe in a good Universe. I also believe that if we are too closed minded to believe there is good out there, we will never see it. So my burning desire is to invite you to be open. Just be open to seeing things differently. Be open to life being fun or money coming easily or actually enjoying your job. Be open to being wrong about everything you know. Because “everything you know” is technically a bunch of stored information in your brain that you gathered from well meaning parents and friends and society. But what makes that the truth? Your truth? Your own personal truth lives within you and has all the answers you need for your highest good. Your road to peace. There are many paths there. 

I have been attempting to travel down a few different ones over the past 5 years of my spiritual awakening. Which makes me a great person to tell you about a short cut. First you need to let go of the idea that life is a hard, crappy, struggle and be open to seeing the love.  Second, you need to play. I’m giving you the permission.  Do things you enjoy doing. Every day. Make time for it. Play. Be silly. Go outside. Take breaks. Go on vacation. Trust that by doing these things; you will experience more love and healing than you’ve ever imagined possible. 

When we play, have fun or enjoy ourselves, we are connected to our true self and when we are connected to our true self our heart is open, and when our heart is open we are vibrating high, and when we are vibrating high, we are receiving light and love and healing and giving light and love and healing. In the space of play, we create space in our mind. We give our mind a chance to breathe, to stop thinking so much. And in the space of breathing, new ideas enter into our mind, healing enters our bodies, light touches our hearts. These new ideas are the divine ones that live beyond thought. They are the ones that will give us the answers to an easier, more abundant life. They’ll tell us who to call to make easy money, or what class to take to start pursing your passion. Any idea imaginable, that is more true to you, can come through in this space. But if you continue to live the belief that life is hard, you’ll never see these new thoughts. I’m here to tell you that new, loving thoughts are on their way to you all the time, 24 hours a day, because we are born love; we are made of love. That never goes away. The only reason we don’t feel it sometimes is because we are lost in thought and then believe that thought as true. 
So, I’m giving you a crazy, rad short cut here. And it’s fun! Go do your hobbies. Take up a cooking class, garden, read a book, have more sex, watch your favorite romantic comedies, take walks, adopt a dog, go camping, whatever it is that makes your heart smile. And if you don’t know what that is yet, be open to finding your joys. Write a list of what you loved to do as a kid and then what you plan to do when you retire. Then do more of that stuff NOW. I’m giving you permission to play. Give yourself the permission too.

If you don’t believe me, look at other countries. They take more vacations, days off, naps and long meals than we do. They are as a whole, happier and healthier than America. I think they’ve got it figured out. 

When you are sucked down the thought storm, thinking you need to work more, find that little kid inside that so badly wants to come out and play and let them. Let them breathe! They will pay you back ten fold. It may feel scary to pull yourself away and play every day, but experiment with it and then tell me how wonderful your life is opening up, tell me all the new ideas that flood in, tell me how much more calm and creative you have become. If you need my support to remind you to play, then write me. I’ll be your rock here. I know it’s hard to pull away sometimes. 

But just remember: Play and the healing shall pour in. Play and your connection to your heart will open. Play and the sunshine will seem brighter. Play and life will be fun again.
