She put her joy in shadow
because she didn’t think it was enough to be loved. So she followed her shoulds and got serious and did the right thing. And she ached inside. A grief took over. She missed herself. She longed for herself. But having the joy felt unsafe, not enough, not lovable. That she would be considered dumb, not professional, nothing to take seriously. But she needed her. She needed her to know she is loved and welcome And that she can come home now.

I see you. I know you. I am you.
I am here to guide you on your journey. 🌟Your Radiant Light Was Dimmed You came into this world a bright light, here for a bigger purpose, to live a life of abundance, prosperity, joy, a successful, soul aligned business, a special and important soul here to shift the vibration of humanity. But because of your life circumstances and trauma, your light was dimmed and you had to hide to stay safe. You became shy, scared, co-dependent, physically unwell. You felt unworthy, became a good girl or boy to fit in and stay safe, felt powerless and terrified to be yourself. You couldn’t use your voice and tried to make everyone around you comfortable just to stay safe. Your light was dimmed. 🌟Co-dependency Sets in For Survival To survive you became good, appropriate, pleasing and lost touch with your authenticity, radiance and unique magnificent soul gifts. You started to work hard and accomplish, strive, take control just to feel seen, enough and worthy. You learned to be quiet and make sure others felt good around you. You were the last to give yourself what you wanted. You didn’t even know how. You did everything you did to be loved because you didn’t know your light was lovable. You became even more unwell as you learned to hide behind what made you lovable, safe and enough dimming your light even more. 🌟Hiding Your Light Caused You Physical and Emotional Pain At this point, life handed you panic attacks, anxiety, sickness, anger, unhealthy relationships, a deep need to hide away from the world that seemed like way too much and unsafe as it doesn’t understand a sensitive soul like you. You hid your emotions and your honesty. Life began to hand you many trials to let you know you were not living in alignment with your truth, yet you didn’t know this at the time so the light inside of you felt like it turned off as you were not living in alignment with your soul’s truth. You were pushing, hiding, inauthentic and constantly in fear. You were struggling to get by in survival mode. 🌟Desperation to Heal Gives You Nuggets of Hope Things got so bad with anxiety, feeling unwell and living in total confusion as to how to keep life together that you were desperate to try anything to feel better and take you out of your emotional and physical pain. You tried western and eastern medicine, self help, being positive, visualization, yoga, certain diets, healers, meditation and the like. You realized that quick fixes didn’t work as temporary bandaids for an expansive spirit wishing to break free. You saw that life was handing you “space holders" to help you reflect and awaken to your own truth, your own knowing, your own greatness. On your exploration you found energy healing, emotional healing, your connection to your own divinity, god, magic, alternative healing, nature, the psychic arts, healing foods, acceptance, love, somatic healing, meditation, therapy and so much more of the unseen realms of magic that lead to your inner healing and expansion, and things started to improve. You had moments of your light coming back online. You felt refreshed and yourself again. Life was moving you in a new direction, but they were only in moments. So the search continued as you spent years knowing you found gold in this alternative path but you weren’t fully home within yourself yet. You didn’t know what was missing. You toggled between the opening and closing to your light because you weren’t sure what to trust and you didn’t know yet the power, gifts and magnificence that was in you. You were looking for solid ground in the external and life was pushing you to find solid ground in feeling safe, loved and accepted from within, as the most expanded, full, authentic expression of your soul made manifest. 🌟Metamorphosis Takes Hold as You Move into a Higher Version of You You began to let go of who you thought you were, your defense mechanisms and wounds. You saw deeply all the places you had given your power away and were hiding to stay safe. You started to find an inner strength and sovereignty so you could stand on your own two feet. You felt your soul, you met your heart, you learned of god within you. You had to move from one way of being in the world, living in your brain, the physical, the patterns to help you stay safe, to a new, safer, happier, peaceful footing. Here you felt more open than ever, shining your light bit by bit in the world but still not fully sure of keep how to keep it open. You let go of your old career, old friends, old ways of being that were not in alignment with who you really were and you started finding what you liked, desired and wanted and began to manifest a new reality slowly into your world. You began to hear your inner wisdom and divine guidance speak. You were learning who you really were and had been all along. 🌟Recognition of Your Light Creates Healing You started to realize you were a radiant beacon of light as life handed you a few synchronistic events to stand in your power, speak your truth and shine as the gift you came here to be. You took crazy risks, thought you were going insane but you started to listen internally to be guided in life and let go of external validation. Life looked messy and foreign but you kept going, resilient and brave you began to follow the path of your soul, of your light calling you back home. You gained a bit of success and attention sharing your spiritual gifts with the world and universe would send you signs that you were right on track. You knew you had a gift and your light was shining brighter but you needed some continued proof of the new, divine way. 🌟A Deep Knowing You are Here to Serve Creates Abundance You were so strong in your new way, safe in your light, unapologetic in your truth, still human and working through your wounds as they came up, but felt evermore confident in sharing your gifts with the world. Your business grew, relationships strengthened, abundance came into your life, miracles happened. You experienced more love, more joy, more physical healing. You knew you had to risk it all and let go of your old ways of being. No more working hard, struggling, needing love ,attention, living in fear and control. You knew you had to be the love and stop trying to get the love. It was the only way. As you continued healing you knew there was no way back so you surrendered to truth and allowed yourself to dance, to feel, to be human, to love, accept and understand, you let yourself create from a feeling of love, taking heart aligned action, you lived from dreaming, wanting and desiring, you allowed yourself permission to be you and live your truth no matter the obstacles that came up in the way. You were on course, your light was beaming, you held strong in the inner knowing of your beauty and that just by being you and following the aligned actions arising within you, you were offing medicine to the world. You were the permission others needed to live the same way. 🌟Unconditional Light Gives You Solid Ground to Shine You let go of the conditional life that pulled you all over the place and you planted your feet firmly on mama gaia and allowed unconditional inner states of being to rise within you and create your radiance and truth from the inside out. You were brave as hell. You felt alive again, joyful, you laughed again and your friendships were warm, you made love, kissed and allowed pleasure, your business began to thrive, you knew your worth, new opportunities came and life opened up to you because you opened up to you light. You were ok being uncomfortable because you knew beauty was on the other side of allowing all that you were. 🌟Radiance Renewed | Living in Flow as Light You saw deeply that you as you, fully, radiant, authentic, is the gift. You went from dim to shining, hiding to bright, in your full radiance, speaking and sharing your authentic truth wherever you go and being the full expression of magnificent you came here to be. When you arrive at this point of your journey and your light on full beam, you begin to experience synchronicity, physical healing, prosperity, life unsticks itself and you feel flow, rich intimate relationships, energy, abundance in all ways and a successful, soul aligned business, one in which the sheer radiance of your light makes massive transformative impact on the planet and you can go to sleep at night knowing how much you matter and how amazing it his to be you and life your life. You have become a Master Light Activator within yourself and in in the lives of those you touch. You are full, valuable, rich, shining. On full beam for all the world to see, but not because of what you do, no. But because of who you are. That that was always enough all along. But now you live it. You are free. Does this journey resonate with you? Where do you see yourself in my words? Where are you on this journey? I'd love to know. I've been put on this planet to assist you in moving to the next level of your expansion. To find the abundance, soul alignment, joy and physical healing availble to you from living this way.

This blog post is from 6 years ago. Since then the beautiful interviewees have transitioned to heaven. They were the grandparents of a dear, old friend of mine. Here is to their legacy living on. I’m incredibly curious about love and the power of love in its many forms. I’m also very curious about love in relationships. So I’m on a mission to interview couples who have been together for a long period of time and are still in love. I’m off to find their secrets and share them with you. Meet Jane and Al. They are both 93 years young and live in Oregon. Or as Jane says, he’s almost 93. She likes younger men. Which brings me to my first secret. A sense of humor. They were joking back and forth as individuals and as a couple the entire conversation. A little bit of fun is always a wonderful remedy. They met for the first time in 7th grade but reunited right after college. Jane volunteered for the USO in Seattle. Jane and her friend were in charge of the dance they held every Sunday night. This particular Sunday it was raining and she didn’t feel like going, but she didn’t want to let her friend down so she went anyway. And there was Al. Her friend said that Jane knew him from school and wanted to bring her over to him. Jane was excited that he looked different than she remembered and they had a nice time getting acquainted. Al had to leave for a week to go to Canada because he had been serving in the coast guard. When he called Jane a week later to say it was Al, her answer was, “Al who?” They both laughed about this as they were telling me the story. They started dating and a year later they were married. That was 69 years ago. So what are the secrets to such a long, successful relationship? Enjoy the list below. Family. Having a wonderful family has held them together. It’s really important in the later years. Al explained the secret this way, “With couples, it’s love at first sight or other times it’s fight after fight. But people who really love each other grow closer and other people who aren’t so sure about each other grow farther apart. Patience and Understanding were the two things Jane said she learned in her later years that she wish she had known when she was younger. She said you need to get used to living with another person who has different ideas. We aren’t all the same person but that’s ok. It’s funny though because maybe Jane has more understanding than she realized because when I asked Al about her, he said that she’s always been understanding. Acceptance is what Al wished he could have told his younger self. It’s important to try to understand and accept each other. It’s not really important who wins the argument in the end. I thought this one was crucial. Not always the easiest, but the most rewarding and loving. As much as you think you have the answers, you don’t. Jane explained that it’s such a changing world. She said, “You have your own little world. Then the outside world enters into the relationship and you have to make an adjustment to that. Many new things come up. Each other’s tastes are different.” You have to be flexible, open and understanding there. You can’t expect to know everything when you are young. Sometimes they don’t agree on everything but that’s just the nature of it. Just being aware of that seems to help. Jane said that Al’s relaxed nature helped the relationship because things never seemed to get to him and she was grateful for that. They enjoy their time together. They have been avid world travelers, visiting more than six countries together. During tough times they turned to their faith in God. You need to be thankful. There are so many people that can be picky about little things. Jane suggests avoiding this the longer you are in the relationship. And last but not least, the final secret Jane and Al have for us is to respect each other’s individuality. It seems to me that the most common theme here is understanding. If we can all take one thing away from this I hope it would be that. All of us as humans want to be understood. Someone’s advice to me once was to always try to understand the other person instead of trying to be understood. This allows you to come from a space of love. Jane ended our conversation with a smile in her voice by saying, “It’s a real journey though. A real, fascinating journey.” If you'd like dive deeper with me in my popular 11 day healing course, "Profound Healing Through Self Love" Click Here...The Intro and Lesson 1 are free!

(Originally posted 1/12/16) I’ve been thinking about big things lately. Deep things. That’s kind of normal in this Jamie body. I like to contemplate the soul and existence and why my socks still look dirty after I wash them. And during one of my ponderings I was thinking about Love and God and Peace. All the same things to me disguised with different letters of the english language. I got to thinking that we make these concepts out to be so illusive. We think they are these big, grand things we spend our whole lives trying to “get” or “achieve” just like everything else. When we see them in that light, they do seem a bit far off and too big for us little ol’ us. “Love” seems too divine, like for monks and stuff. “God” and “Universe” seem so... God! And “peace” seems like a short lived experience for only the lucky ones who must have done something really great in their past life. But, I’m beginning to disagree. The reason we don’t feel these “things” more often is because we view them as difficult to obtain. I realize now, it’s the other way around. It’s that easy. Love is so simple. Peace is who we are 365 days a year, for our whole lives, underneath thought. It’s our default state. (even if we’ve forgotten because of so much “suffering” thought piled on top, like a lawn under and dozen kids after the candy-showering of a freshly cracked pinnata. Love is just okayness. It’s simplicity. It’s acceptance. It’s subtle. It’s anything uncomplicated. Peace is the same. And so is God. And the Universe. Gentle, simple, there everyday. It never goes aways. But sometimes we can’t see it if we are looking through the wrong lense. Maybe we just have to begin to see that it’s here everyday. All the time. And it’s not such a big far away thing. And we don’t need anything to change on the outside world to achieve it. It’s already ours. That’s the great illusion. If I could just have that thing I’d feel better. If I could just have cleaner socks, more people would like me. Open your mind a little today to the energy of love feeling like the energy of a gentle friend in your life instead of a scary monster. Maybe God feels like a sweet pet you adore instead of a big man on a loud speaker who gives you a twix only if you’re “good”. Maybe peace is as attainable as laughter instead of this weird detached state you’ll achieve and never be able to relate to other humanoids again. Let’s not complicate these magnificently simple gifts of ours. They are all around us and they’re ours for the easy taking.

I’ve immersed myself in the study of my inner-workings, my mind, my spirit, the divine, human potential, healing and the like for the last 5 or so years of my life. When one lives in this world, one hears many phrases over and over again spoken as commonly as the words “the” and “and”. Phrases like, “surrender”, “universe” and “be” are a few. They become somewhat trendy like soy lattes and Uber. You hear them so much that they begin to have an intellectual meaning at first. Then one day after years of marinating in your halo adorned noggin, they hit you on a deeper level and you think, “Ohhhhhh, SURRENDER!” or “Wowwww, UNIVERSE” or “Yeah!!!! I just need to BEEEEEEE.” I recently had one of those moments with the word “nothingness”. As a young (super young) and curious woman in the Los Angeles spiritual community, my well-meaning self would hear the phrase, “We are everything and nothing at the same time.” I’d then put my fist gently under my chin like a scholar, slowly bobble-doll-nod my head and agree with my peers saying things like, “Yeah, totally, we are all and nothing at the same thing.” (what?!) Until recently, I realized that maybe I actually had no idea of what that might look like. But last week I got a deeper glimpse. One of those aha moments. And I am so very lucky. Because I’m aware of many of my judgments and belief systems, I see what goes on in my head a lot. (Yikes, bikes) Sometimes, I don’t know what to do or not to do with them, but I see them nonetheless. In these instances, I bring my bag of Halloween goodies (tis the season) to an outside source to help me see what I can’t see myself. (Like what I do for other people.) Things trigger us all, but what I like to do is get curious about those pings and pangs I feel. They are just thought in the form of emotion. What is this? Is this thought since it feels like a smelly baby diaper would smell? Do I need to trust this? Sadly, many people aren’t taught to question these feelings. They trust everything in their heads. Schools don’t teach that most of what goes on up there is useless and fleeting and just moving energy. Most thoughts aren’t true because they are coming from fear. My hope for you is to get curious too. When you shed the light on the monsters, you see they were only a shadow. Every. Time. Because, well, simply put, there is only love. And if we aren’t seeing things that way, our mind is just out of control. Getting back on track…EARTH to Jamie! I used to do a lot of digging around in my beliefs around success and I’d ask myself, “What would it feel like if I had everything I wanted and people judged me but I just didn’t care.” Well, I would feel free. But with that feeling of freedom came this sense of nothingness. Like, there would be nothing else to “achieve”. (Ah, Thank you ‘American Dream’ for that one.) It felt as though in that space things would cease to exist or some how spiral out of control. Or that there would be nothing else to do there and how can you do nothing? It was as if my ego needed to be doing to feel satisfied. And then it hit me. Oh my soul! The nothingness I’m describing is peace. Nothingness is who we are! It’s our true nature. It’s the peace people speak of. The nothingness is peace! Our true state is connected to everything at once. It’s the nothingness. Nothingness is peace. Holy cow, how sneaky the ego is. Peace was right in front of my face and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I was questioning it left and right. Trying hard to stay out of that space when all I desperately wanted was to have that peace. I already am that peace. I just needed to remember it! And feel it and know what it was. So, now I recognize when I feel that and I acknowledge it. When I’m slowed down and not needing to control or ‘do’, I’m just being. Being inspired and taking action from that place. Being in the moment. Just being. Whistling do re me as I walk the dogs. Laughing at myself. Kissing long and hard. Feeling music in my bones. Our mind may come back on line in these moments sometimes and feel a little funny because our mind tries to keep us safe based on past experiences it has associated to something uncomfortable related to that peace. But just noticing that this is what it is doing is usually enough for those thoughts to pass and fade. As I like to shout on the mountaintops, “It’s all about awareness.” My wish for you is if you have a sense of this nothingness I speak of, sit with it longer. Let it be your normal. It’s your home base. Let it be uncomfortable and then let it get more comfortable and then let it be so peaceful you become the next trendy guru who rides an Uber while drinking a soy latte. Marinate there as often as possible. No need to force it. Just trust it. It’s you. It’s me. It’s all of us. The all and the nothing. Now, how cool is that?

Our body has an energy system. These energy centers are called chakras. Our sacral chakra is the chakra governing our sex organs. This chakra expresses creativity, sexuality, passion, drive, excitement, manifestation, personal freedom and much more. When this chakra is open and flowing, this energy has the power to move mountains and send the body much needed healing energy. The word sex can be so taboo in our society. We are raised to not talk about it, to be embarrassed about it or ashamed of it. Our parents hold our ears or try to hide us form conversations about it. If you step back from the “awkwardness” created around it, it’s just a normal part of life and a very healing part of life. It should be talked about more and thought of as normal so that we don’t have these crazy subconscious beliefs around it that we have to try to move past in our adult years. I just want you to ponder your views toward sexual energy. Because energy is energy. The energy in that chakra is so much more than “sex.” It’s desire of things in life, it’s passion, it’s excitement. And if you turn one off, you turn them all off. They all come from the same place. So begin to notice when you shut those feelings off and make a conscious effort to allow yourself to be “turned on” by life. It’s ok. In fact it’s normal. And when you do, a beautiful healing energy will start to take over your body. If you feel the need to delve deeper in healing this area of your life, there are many treatments such as reiki, EFT, Sedona method and much more out there. Be brave enough to notice this area of your life isn’t thriving. If this is the case, put our a little prayer to the Universe, “Clear whatever is blocking my full expression of sexual energy in safe and easy ways.” Then follow the yellow brick road and watch the magic happen. There is also a beautiful meditation I love to use to help open that chakra as well. First state out loud or in your mind, “Archangel Michael (or whoever you’d like to assist you), Clear any energy less than love in my sacral chakra and replace it with love.” Then sit quietly with your eyes closed for a five minutes with that area. Put your attention in that region of your body, your hips, your tailbone, and your sexual organs. And just sit with your attention in that area. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up for you. You can sit with this for as long as you like. When you start feeling good feelings, you’ll know that area is opening up. Allow it to expand. Get used to your new normal. Be patient. Be brave and don’t judge whatever comes up. I think you are the coolest for tackling something taboo. Let’s make this stuff normal together! Sending love and loads of passion or way.

I adore this quote. How much freedom is in that one sentence? I don’t have to go anywhere, do anything, find anything, spend any money, seek answers, or try to fix it all. I already HAVE IT. It’s already mine. All the peace and love and abundance and joy and whatever else you could ever want you already have. You can have anything you want by just a shift in perspective. Nothing on the “outside” world matters. Because the “outside world” is subjective. Your view of something out there could be completely different than my view. Which means that my mind is just attaching an idea to an experience based on my past experiences. Our mind just logs things as we grow up. People mean well when they attempt to teach us things and sometimes they don’t. But all of these “things” are logged in our brain. As we experience the world as an adult, our brain looks through the lens of our old experiences. But who says this lens is the best lens for us, the most loving, healing peaceful lens? Our natural state is well being so, I bet if your thoughts don’t feel very good, it’s not. The answer to that? Awareness. Be aware of when your thoughts to something feel uncomfortable and back off. Know that the love and peace you were born with as a baby is still in you. It doesn’t die. It’s eternal. It just gets hidden by your judgment of everything. Our mad thoughts can seem so real to us. Remind yourself they are not real. It’s just a thought. It could be different. There has to be another way to see this. And then get out of the way. It’s a passive way of approaching peace. Since we already have the peace, we don’t need to “find it”. We just need to allow it by calling the bluff on our thoughts, riding it out, having faith that love exists and then letting the love naturally rise to the surface. This is the truth. It takes easy practice but it is well worth it to live in peace. You may be similar to me and be saying, “ Well, I’ve lived most of my life not knowing what that peaceful feeling feels like.” That’s ok It’s never too late to start. It’s always available to us matter how sick or depressed or anxious or upset you are. None of that matters since peace is a state of mind. A God given gift to us. I’ve spent the last four years of my life not realizing I already had all that I was seeking. I was attempting to “fix” myself. I’ve learned a lot of really amazing techniques, met a huge amount of beautiful people devoted to helping others heal and learned a hell of a lot about myself. While I have no regrets, there is one thing I wish were different. My perspective on the whole thing. I wish I knew I was already that which I was seeking. But I’m grateful to know that now. And I’m adamant in spreading the world to tell you that you are too! I’m leaning now that there is nothing to “fix”. You are perfect as you. And when you can realize this, healing happens. Peace comes from acceptance, not constantly trying to fight who you are and where you are at. I had a beautiful person tell me the other day that sometimes you don’t have to try so hard to figure it all out and fix your ailments, flaws or short comings. When God or the Universe or whatever you believe in wants you to focus on those things for your growth, they will just naturally happen and unfold. There is nothing you have to “do”. I love that view. It takes the struggle out of it. Now you can just live. So, for your sake and the sake of the world, lets do this together. Let’s stop listening to these horrible thoughts in our head that don’t feel good. Let’s question them. Let’s look them head on and laugh at them. Let’s condescend them. Let’s be open to being completely wrong about EVERYTHING we’ve ever believed in. Let’s be open to learning a new way. Open to the Universe surprising us with love. Will you join me?

“I choose to see love instead of this.” This is one of my favorite prayers. You can also call it an intention if the word prayer freaks you out. I’m not judging. You can use this prayer anytime you feel resistance, fear, or a sense of unease about something. There are many things in our lives that we just can’t see with compassion or love. And that’s ok. We are human. But, when we notice this, it’s a good time to admit to ourselves that somehow we aren’t seeing the truth, the love. So, ask to see it differently. Ask to see peace or love instead of the resistant way you are seeing it. It’s only hurting you to see it with angry eyes, no one else. Do yourself a favor next time you are on fire and slow down, take a breath and ask to see love instead of the way you are seeing something. You don’t have to force a new thought into your head. Let a new, loving one come to you. You’ll know its there because it will feel a little bit better, maybe a lot better. A new perspective will have come to you. This prayer works with out fail every time. It might not happen right away. But it will always happen when it’s supposed to happen. Just be open to seeing something differently and you will be shown the loving version. This is true because we live in an inside out world, not outside in. Inside out meaning that our entire reality is based upon our own thoughts. We project our perception of the world out onto it. The outside world has no meaning. It’s not the other way around like we are mistakenly taught. If you believe in this misperception, you think that something mean someone said to you will make you feel angry. The truth is that it’s your thoughts about them that make you angry. Crazy huh? This is a wild illusion and one many of us fall for. But the more we realize our thoughts make up our entire reality, the more freedom we have. We will begin to question a lot. And that’s a good thing! We can choose not to believe a lot of the junk that goes on up there if it feels fearful in any way. Wait for it to pass. It will. That’s the nature of thought. Since we are born mentally well and we are always mentally well underneath the fearful thoughts, fresh new thought, from that space of well being is always on its way to us if we aren’t gripping so tightly to the fearful thought by believing it. Trust me, it’s going to look real and try to do a good job on convincing us other wise. You are smarter though. So now that you understand this prayer and why it’s important to ask to see a new perception of something instead of change it on the “outside”, let’s try an experiment. So, again, because of our perception, we see what we are looking for and maybe not the actual truth of what is right in front of us. If you have a lifetime of personal, subjective opinions build up about a person then they are going to look to you like the picture you have painted about them in your mind. Yet, you aren’t really seeing the person as they are in the present. So, if you perceive your husband or wife or girlfriend to be one way, you are only going to see those traits and miss the other 50% of traits this persons has, that you aren’t even giving yourself the gift of receiving. If you see your husband as a jerk, you are going to only see the “jerk” things, and miss the sweet things he says. They will go unnoticed. Experiment with friends and family. Before an interaction with them, intend to see love instead of the way you see them. Be present with them. Listen to them with an open mind. Show up as if you have never met this person before. Give them the benefit of the doubt. I bet you’ll begin to see new things you’ve never seen before. And they have been there all along. Here’s to falling in love all over again.

Today I want to break it down for the newbies and have a little refresher course for the veterans. We hear the words ego, intuition and love all the time. But what do they really mean? Let’s dive in. The word EGO in the spiritual world is different from the word EGO you hear when you grow up. You usually hear it referred to as someone being full of himself, etc. The spiritual term EGO by definition is, “The part of you that defines itself as a personality, separates itself from the outside world, and considers itself, (you) a separate entity from the rest of nature and the cosmos. Perhaps necessary for survival in some evolutionary bygone, in modern times it leads only to (albeit often disguised) misanthropic beliefs and delusion. In short, ‘I’. Ego is responsible for hate, fear and delusion." In my own experience as an inward seeker, ego has come to mean, “The part of your mind that is subconscious, the belief systems you acquired from little up caused by family, friends, society, etc. that stuck around because they were given attention over the years and you happen to then see them as true. Ego is all the fearful, unhelpful, constricted thoughts that pass through your mind. It isn’t the divine, intelligent, intuitive part of you. It doesn’t have the capacity to understand your God self, your highest self, your true self, your best self.” An example of an ego thought would be, “I’m fat. I can’t do that. That’s impossible. She’ll never like me.” And the list goes on… What’s the opposite side of the coin? Your heart, love and intuition. Let’s take a closer look at these. Heart by definition means, “The central, vital or main part; real meaning, essence, core.” Intuition by definition is, “The ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning, proof or evidence. A thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feelings rather than conscious reasoning. A feeling that guides a person to act a certain way without fully understanding why. For example, a hunch, feeling in one’s bones, inkling, suspicion, idea, sense, notion, premonition, gut feeling.” I’ve learned in my journeys that intuition doesn’t have to be some crazy aha moment, although it can be. It can just be as simple as a new thought you’ve never had before that came to you when you are feeling settled and not frazzled. Intuition, the truth is always quieter, yet gentle. Thought that comes to you when you are frazzled is most likely from the ego, the mind. Screw taking that as truth. Love by definition is, “An intense feeling of deep affection, warm attachment, enthusiasm and devotion. To take great pleasure in. To hold dear.” I’ve personally come to find love to mean, “Our true nature, our natural state of well being. Truth. Peace.” But as we all know, love is far too powerful and magical to describe in words. “So, thanks for explaining these things Jamie, but what the crap am I supposed to do with this now?”. Well, a deeper understanding is always helpful. That way, you can have your own amazing insights about it all. May I suggest beginning to recognize when you are in your heart, in love, in intuition or higher intelligence. And notice when you are in ego. This awareness will be so helpful. Many of us walk around in ego, lost in thought most of the time and don’t even know it. If you are one of these people, don’t worry. I remember the day I realized I’ve spent most of my life living in my mind and not my heart. There were only fleeting heart moments. But realizing it is so much better than going your whole life never knowing that vital piece of information. There is a whole world out there for you to explore. Trust me on that one. When you begin to feel it, you’ll know. Here’s a helpful tidbit. When you start to notice you are in your ego, you don’t have to fight it. Just know that you are in the wrong part of your brain. If you don’t grip too hard, or try to figure it out or fight it, it will pass and something a little more peaceful will rise up. That is how the system works. Once you let go of the ego stuff, in a gentle way, new thought is on its way to you. That is your well being. That is the place where all your answers are. That is where love lies. Practice makes perfect. You don’t have to force it, or say affirmations, etc. This is a more passive approach. It doesn’t require trying so hard to change your mind. Your mind is designed to change for you when you step out of the way. Change the inside and then watch the outside magically fall into place. Not the other way around like our society likes to teach. That causes disconnection and stress. It’s a big backwards. Let’s un-backwards it shall we?!

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. http://emfblues.com/crystal-catalyst-bead/ 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.)
