No, I'm not referring to the Star Wars dark side. I'm referring to the real life dark side and individuals who dabble or out and out live there.
Beware! They exist! They are those individuals who torture, torment, energy rob and project ill will on their fellow man. They are the wolves in sheep's clothing, they are energy vampires and just evil scary people and they exist. I'm sure if you thought long and hard you could come up with a few in your very own circle of friends.
There are varying degrees of dark siders. They can be sweet and subtle all the while scheming and planning a devious attack. They can be blatant, couldn't care less what you think types and they can be just downright nasty people. The ones who are never happy, never satisfied always wanting more yet giving nothing.
There are ways of protecting yourself from such individuals. You can clear and shield your energy every morning before you get out of bed. All you do is ask your God or guardian angels for clear and shield your energy and raise you to the highest possible vibration and it will be done no questions asked. You can also focus on a mental image of the person in question, how they make you feel and the things they have done. Send them to the universe to be taken care of and for heavens sake LET THEM GO! You are not doing yourself any good trying to understand or fix these people it's a far greater task than you can handle unless of course your GOD! Then go ahead. :)
I was engaged in a conversation earlier to day with a friend who like me is very much into all things spiritual and metaphysical. She deals with someone from the dark side and one of the most telling characteristics is they are malicious in their dealing with those closest to them.
Of course there is likely a clinical label for such individuals but I'm not talking about mental state, more so I'm referring to spiritual state. They are for lack of a better term, "soulless". Don't get me wrong, they do have a soul, but it's buried under so much black it's undetectable. Which is why only those in spirit can help these people, if that's possible. They need to want to be helped and healed.
These are individuals who have turned their back on the light in pursuit of the bounty the dark side offers. But a what cost? Their very being. If there were a hell, these individuals have a pre-scheduled seat on that train destine there. On that note, I have a hard time believing in hell as depicted in the bible, I see it more as just blackness devoid of anything that would stimulate the senses. For me that would be hell. Pure nothingness. Yet you exist in this nothingness.
So next time you encounter someone you feel might be from the dark side, or even walking the fine line, sent them off with love and light and let God and the universe take care of them. If you do this enough you may even see a shift in their behaviour. You might have to look really hard because the dark side knows what's up and will put up a fight trying to keep it's minion under control.
With much love, light and fighting the dark side,
Tammy.

Christmas Spirit
As I drive into work I listen to the newest Christmas CD my kids gave me for my birthday. I sing along and sometimes I get a little choked up. Christmas makes me sad, not in a bad way. I miss family members who have long since passed but would have made this time of year so very special if they were still here.
I think when I feel this way it's kind of like I'm making a connection from my heart directly to them on the other side. I feel the love they hold for me and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are always with me protecting and guiding me. Keeping me from harm and quietly leading me on this path I am on. Christmas for me is an emotional time of year, just typing about it I feel the emotions welling within.
Every year I stress and struggle to make sure it's a great Christmas for my kids. Every year by the grace of God it happens just so. Yet I wonder sometimes how different it would be if certain individuals, both here and gone, were still part of my life. I wonder if it would make the season that much better. Is it the best it will be, as it is? It has to be. It's the memories created for my kids. The really sad part is my kids don't have the same connection to Christmas I have. They don't really understand the real meaning behind all that we do at this time of year. I have no one but myself to blame for this, well, myself and their dad.
Neither of us felt it right to impose our religious up bringing on our kids. We were both raised Catholic, and while I don't have the same negative memories of being raised that way I agreed with my husband that our children will have the opportunity to choose for themselves. What that means is that they are raised devoid of religion. They understand somewhat the preface behind most religions, they have been informed of various modalities. They know what I believe in, they know what their father believes.
They have no beliefs themselves. They have not been taught or guided properly. Because of this, they have no real concept of Christmas except that their parents get stress out, and they get gifts. I'm very sorry for them having this concept of the meaning of Christmas. I've tried to explain it, but it's like explaining how butter is made, really of no interest. Maybe when they are parents and the magic of Christmas is alive in their children will they understand that this is bigger and deeper than they could have imagined.
Until that day, I will continue to instill in them the spirit of Christmas and the importance it holds, not for the gifts but for the connections to family and a higher power. Maybe, just maybe they will feel what I feel at this time of year and really embrace the celebration it is meant to be.
With love, light and Merry Christmas,
Tammy.

Gut Instinct
We all have it, that nagging sensation in the pit of our stomach telling us somethings not right. That's your Solar Plexus Chakra acting up. Telling you "not a good idea" what ever it is you're planning.
Our bodies are full of chakras but there are seven most commonly known and used in meditation to help balance the body mind and soul. I'm just talking about the solar plexus chakra, situated right under your rib cage in the centre of your abdomen.
The colour associated with solar plexus chakra is yellow. It's responsible for mental understanding of emotional life, in it's most basic definition. It's your gut instinct your intuition, when you feel it pay attention because it's trying to tell you something. If a situation doesn't sit well with you then don't proceed. The job of the solar plexus chakra is to keep us from getting in over our heads and it does it's job well, if you listen.
It can also warn you of events up coming. I remember when my grandfather died, he had a heart attack the night before and all that day I had an unmistakable feeling of dread centered in my solar plexus chakra. I knew something bad was going to happen I just didn't know what. Sure enough I got a call in the middle of the night with the bad news. The feeling vanished soon after I hung up the phone and my heart chakra kicked in.
When I was taking my mediumship training we did a lot of work with chakras every meditation. It got to the point where I could pick up on other peoples issues within my own chakras. I recall standing in line at Rogers Video and the guy in front of me had an arm full of videos. He was in front of me but took a step back suddenly into my personal space. For me that's about a two foot radius. Immediately my solar plexus felt icky. I went in right away to have a look and I visualized a putrid yellow egg shape with brown splotches all over it.
Knowing this wasn't good I set to work clearing it. Sending the brown splotches to the universe and polishing the yellow until it shone. I felt better quickly but was concerned that I had done this without consulting the guy in front of me, after all it was caused by his chakra. I asked my trainer later that week when I saw her and she explained that sometimes we have to do these things because of the physical effect on us personally. Normally yes I should ask, but in this case it wasn't possible and the out come of the cleansing would serve to help him not hurt him.
We surmised from his greasy disheveled appearance and the stack of videos that he probably need more than just his solar plexus cleansed but that's all I could fix. I just hope it did even if for a little while, I'll never know. I felt better for it afterwards so I assume he did too.
Needless to say, listening to your gut is so very important. Recently I made very big life decision based on how my solar plexus chakra was acting leading up to said decision. When I really assessed the situation and changed my direction with it everything settled down and began to "feel" right. And every day since it's been really good. I'm confident that the direction I had originally chose would have spelt disaster for not only me but those closest to me. Making this change and following my gut was the best decision I have made in a really long time.
Listening is not hard, following through is the though one. If you feel sick to your stomach because of a decision you need to make, think about the same decision in reverse or opposite to what you are planning and check in to see how your solar plexus is responding. If it feels better, that's the right decision no matter if it's what you think you want. Sometimes our brains are not the best judge of what's good for us. Sometimes the Universe steps in and puts you back on the right path. You can't go wrong if you listen it may not seem right for you at the moment but in the long run it always is.
With much love, light and guidance,
Tammy.

Pendulum Work
Last night, Halloween, the earth was "supercharged" with the energy of Spirit. It was prime for manifestation and connection. I took full advantage of this opportunity to connect and when I arrived home after work, lit candles, put on my meditation music and got out my pendulum. I have rarely seen it so accurate and precise. Stopping on a dime once my question was answered. Some answers were surprising, causing me to go back over them worded differently, some answers were not so surprising, just more confirmation to what I already knew.
One thing I do know for sure, and I am very aware of is holding perfectly still and not manipulating the swing myself. I've tested this and know what it takes to make the pendulum swing. When you see it start moving on it's own knowing full well you are as still as possible it's an amazing sight. Not for the unpracticed to be certain.
With my intention set and my pendulum in hand I set about manifesting. Some things will happen quickly somethings will take time, but of this I'm certain, things will happen. The answers were the strongest they have ever been and my connection was solid. I have never seen my pendulum move so precisely. It would be absolutely still, I would ask a question and after a moment begin to move and once the question was fully answered it would stop, and by stop I don't mean wind down I mean stop dead as it someone grabbed it and stopped it. Fascinating.
It would also go from one movement say a circle (yes) to straight up and down (no) without so much as a pause yet change direction again as if someone had a hold of it. The movements weren't smooth like when I spin or swing it. They were erratic and precise.
How accurate the answers are will depend on what I do to facilitate my requests. The pendulum can't give advice it's simply yes, no, maybe or no answer. How I proceed with the information I receive is completely up to me, it's relative to my actions or inaction. If I choose to NOT listen or follow through then why bother asking right? I see this as the ultimate tool for receiving guidance the path I choose is exactly that, my choice.
With much love, light and divine guidance,
Tammy.

Meditation, Why It's So Important
There are several forms of meditation. For the purpose of this blog I'm going to talk about meditation that connects you to God, Spirit, Ascended Masters, Guides or passed loved ones. To anyone who has passed over and is working in the light towards the higher good of mankind.
This is not a scary thing, this is a very relaxing mind expanding enlightening experience if you do it right. Yes there is a wrong way and it can result in unpleasant experiences and be down right dangerous if you are inexperienced in meditation and connecting to Spirit.
ALWAYS start off with thanks and humble requests for Spirit to join you, to place a circle of protection around you to clear and shield your energy and most of all to only invite in those light workers and higher vibration guides, teachers etc. This I cannot emphasise enough. If you don't do this you open yourself up to low level energies who seek only to rob you of your energy and play games with your mind. Not a good thing at all.
Another important task when beginning your meditation is to ground your energy solidly to the earth. Not so solidly as to feel like you are made of cement. Just enough that you don't get dizzy when you raise your own vibration to meet that of Spirit, also an uncomfortable feeling for sure.
Clearing and balancing your chakras is a little more advanced and takes practice to get it just right, requesting Spirit clear and balance you is a great start, they know what they are doing. It is important though to eventually learn this technique so you can monitor them through out the day and to know when you feel them you are being sent a message you should listen to.
Once you are solidly grounded you can open your crown chakra and feel yourself or even visualise a miniature version of yourself being beamed in a pure white light from the top of your head up to the universe. You will know when you have arrived because you will feel lighter and will have broken through a membrane of sorts that contributed to pressure on the top of your head.
Where you land when you reach this point is up to you. It can be anything your heart desires as long as it is welcoming and you feel safe. This is the place you will meet your guides, teachers, loved ones or anyone you may want to connect with. There are several ascended masters available for you to connect with if you have a specific question or concern.
One thing you will notice when you are deep in meditation is the inability to feel your body, it literally is an "out of body" experience. You can stay here as long as you like, but after a time you will intuitively know it's time to return. This is also the point in your meditation where you may receive messages or you can request information to be sent to you in a way you will recognize. I use this time to cleanse my pendulum and request clear and concise information from Spirit as it is Spirit who is manipulating my pendulum not me. Enjoy this time and take as long as you like.
When you are done your meditation it's time to close, be sure to ask for healing for EVERYONE you know even people you don't like or don't really know. Ask for healing for ALL mankind and for the earth. This is so important and it's a great opportunity to take part in the cosmic shift that is coming. No the world is not ending, it's just changing and this way we can ensure it changes for the better. Always keep your thoughts positive and your intentions pure and you will keep your vibration and energy at a healthy level. Remember to thank God, Spirit and all those who joined you, as well as requesting the circle of protection remain intact until the next time you meditate. Just a little added measure.
I have to say, as I was driving home I was feeling so bad about my life and where I am right now and wasn't even planning on meditating, I was in fact going to park in front of the TV with a bottle of wine and drown my sorrows. I'm glad I decided to meditate instead because I feel so much better about life and what the future holds for me. I'm no longer down and feeling depressed, I'm confident and happy, all thanks to meditation and my ability to connect with Spirit.

Choose Peace
One thing I've learned with my spiritual growth is to listen to the messages I receive. In the past I've fallen short and not listened. But lately there have been some incidents that would normally bring out the worst in me and I've chosen to send them off with love and light for God and the universe to take care of.
Believe me, there has been a truck load of crap going on that would have sparked a hugely negative reaction from me.
This morning when I did my three card spread for the day from my Ascended Masters deck the first card I got was "Choose Peace". Interestingly enough I thought to myself, I'm going to get into a conflict with someone. Sure enough it happened. I read something that completely rubbed me the wrong way, written by someone who completely rubs me the wrong way and I was poised to strike. Then I remembered, "Choose Peace" so I am. (The other two cards were "Drink More Water" (d-oh) and "Work Your Magic").
So to God and the universe I ask.
"Please help this person see the damage they cause with their words, please help them realise that their actions, thoughts and words bring to them an equally negative reaction. That they are the direct cause of all that plagues them and if they were to cease putting out to the universe all the negative that haunts them and replace it with appreciation and gratitude for what they do have, they will know peace and serenity and the graces afforded to them by God and the universe. They will receive the abundance they deserve." I send this to God and the universe with love and light that they may receive.
With much, love, light and hope.
Tammy.

Website and New Direction
So a few years ago I was working on getting an Intuitive Techniques Development class going at a local book store. Unfortunately that book store closed a few months after the initial plan was hatched so, no go.
That's ok, I believe everything happens for a reason and that wasn't the right time for me to start this.
Now is the time. I've had some opportunities present themselves and I'm testing the waters. The original venue that I was thinking would work I just found out won't. That's ok too because there will be something more suitable for the purpose of this set of classes that will present itself when the time is right. Until then I will keep working towards my goal, I will develop my website and if I have to I'll hold the classes in my house as small and cramped as it is this will work out because I'm being pushed hard in that direction.
So for the time being I'll plod alone building my site and finding the right venue for these classes. I'll put it out there and see what happens.
If you want a preview of my new site have a look here and if anyone is interested in learning Beginning Meditation the first in the series let me know and I will make sure it happens.
With much, love light and hope.
