text-align: center;"></div></span> <div class="paragraph" style='text-align:left;display:block;'>I suppose I could write...well, nicely.&nbsp; In neat rows.&nbsp; Tucked in, no  frayed ends.&nbsp; Write in rhyming prose.&nbsp; Correct spelling and grammar.&nbsp;  Dotting all i's and crossing all t's.&nbsp; Making sure my sharing doesn't  reveal...too much.&nbsp; Hide the stains.&nbsp; Cover the scars.&nbsp; "Don't tell your business!" is what I hear as I type.&nbsp; But, I'm gonna.<br /><br />I have to.&nbsp; I want to free the experiences.&nbsp; My very human ones.&nbsp;  You know, similar to what all humans experience.&nbsp; Some don't share  much, some do share and I am always reminded by the ones that share, how  the Universe spins around each of us and how our stories and sharings  can be the medicine for the person that just listened to you pour your  heart out.<br /><br />This brought on just a second ago.&nbsp; A  little disagreement with my love.&nbsp; A little bit of some worked up energy  between us was let loose.&nbsp; It sucks, yes, but it is nothing in  comparison to what I've experienced in the past.&nbsp; It still does suck.&nbsp;  And I cried.&nbsp; I carried a glass of red wine (which I don't drink much  of) wiping tears under my glasses and sniffling downstairs to my garage  studio.&nbsp; I sit staring at my computer, feeling a familiar feeling.&nbsp;  Slightly depressing but willing to smash it all into some writing.&nbsp; Some  deep words, some laying out naked kind of stuff.&nbsp; That kind of stuff  that you don't mind stirring in because you know it will unearth some  things.&nbsp; Some things that need a quick back door get-a-way.&nbsp; This  feeling, I can now turn into medicine, an elixir for the soul, some  soothing remedy for the wounded, dizzy, lost and disconnected moments.&nbsp;  The kind that made artists sort of crazy.<br /><br />But, I am in a  different place now.&nbsp; I understand and have befriended the  "Emotional-Guides".&nbsp; Allies and challengers doing their thing.&nbsp; Having  me choose.&nbsp; Offering opportunities.&nbsp; Places to swim, grab a floaty but this time, I don't have to drown.&nbsp; This is different.&nbsp; *sips wine*<br /><br />I will begin by shedding some skins.&nbsp; <br /><br />I feel like an imprisoned creative, but yet I am free.&nbsp; I struggle with the physical part of my creative ideas and projects.<br />I dislike being such a freaky sensitive person.<br />I  dislike that I am constantly adjusting the energy around me to help  others, even complete strangers.&nbsp; It is noticeable.&nbsp; It makes me seem  really awkward and weird.<br />I am the eccentric one in my entire family, both sides...really.<br />My sensitivities sometimes keep me in the house too long.<br />I often have difficulty changing environments.&nbsp; From leaving my nest- to car- to picking up kids and back home is exhausting.<br />I dislike that I notice way too much.&nbsp; Empaths are like highly trained detectives that never have a break and work for free.<br /><br />All  this negative release is sort of crappy too, but there is some gold in  here.&nbsp; Yes, the alchemical process of pure release.&nbsp; Transmuting that  energy into flakes of gold and bits of crystal.&nbsp; So, you see...sometimes  you feel like the only person in the world having an experience, but  there might be someone in front of you, in line at the grocery store or  coffee shop that has or is having a similar or even more intense  experience.&nbsp; If the two of you sat down and released by story sharing,  it would probably be very healing.&nbsp; <br /><br />Are you the one  that can relate to this?&nbsp; Did this remind you that we are all human  having humanly experiences at different times, in different places, from  the vantage point of different bodies?&nbsp; Here, here is some soothing  salve for you to put on that wound.&nbsp; Then when it's healed up, we can  compare our scars and tell their stories.&nbsp; Offering soul medicine for  the taking.<br /></div> <hr style='clear:both;visibility:hidden;width:100%;'></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elefante Sagrado]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.spiritgoddess.com/1/post/2012/05/elefante-sagrado.html]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.spiritgoddess.com/1/post/2012/05/elefante-sagrado.html#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 17 May 2012 06:59:50 -0800</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.spiritgoddess.com/1/post/2012/05/elefante-sagrado.html</guid><description><![CDATA[       [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class='wsite-multicol-table-wrap' style='margin:0 -15px'> <table class='wsite-multicol-table'> <tbody class='wsite-multicol-tbody'> <tr class='wsite-multicol-tr'> <td class='wsite-multicol-col' style='width:32.699619771863%;padding:0 15px'>  <div><div id="784787727761550793" align="left" style="width: 100%;

During a Reiki attunement, she made herself visible,&nbsp; Her glistening eye shined and pierced into my soul.&nbsp; We gazed at each other in reverence, connection, and sacred calmness.&nbsp; A complete oneness occurred that silenced everything else out, we were inseparable.&nbsp; I made a mental note and thanked her for her visit, yet I didn't understand it much.&nbsp; Second time, she made herself visible during a spirit-reading.&nbsp; She told me to hop on her back and allow her to carry me to the meeting place where I meet with the spirit-world.&nbsp; She felt safe.&nbsp; She was strong and beautiful.&nbsp; She was gentle and grounded.&nbsp; We traveled slowly, but it was quite relaxing and serene.&nbsp; I felt the love imbued in her aura.&nbsp; She stood next to me during the entire reading as I conversed with the Spirits, and when I was done: she bent her head down so that I may climb up on her back once to travel back into the physical plane.<span>&nbsp; She is my Spirit Helper and Guardian, yet she had gifted me with so much more.</span>..<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">As totem: she is wise, embodies strength  and power. An Elephant will give you insight into the power of the three  feminine energies: maiden, mother and old wise woman (or crone).  Through the use of fragrances and incense, Elephant can guide you to new  energies and power. Elephant also gives you a thirst for knowledge and  understanding. Family is very important to Elephant, especially the very  young and the very old. Elephants care for their elderly rather than  push them aside and very protective of their young. They have a soft  spot for the weak and helpless. Loyalty is another quality that Elephant  teaches. How to remain loyal no matter what anyone says about your  friend or family member. For Elephant, they always come first</span>.&nbsp; <a target="_blank" href="http://linsdomain.com/totems-d-f.htm"><span>:::source:::</span></a><br /><span></span>                                                    </div>  </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style='text-align:left;'>Expressing happens because of this brilliant and sacred connection.&nbsp; And, before I begin the creative process, I open up; become as a clear a vessel I can be. <br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:0;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.spiritgoddess.com/uploads/6/9/9/4/6994959/4190182.jpg?474" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">First Layer:  Spirit helpers & messages, symbols, shapes, colors, scribbles...vast openness.</div> </div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.spiritgoddess.com/uploads/6/9/9/4/6994959/6872648_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:100%;max-width:615px" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">More layers, more colors, the message/expression begins to reveal itself.</div> </div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.spiritgoddess.com/uploads/6/9/9/4/6994959/3438167_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:100%;max-width:1068px" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Mi Elefante Sagrado {My Sacred Elephant}.</div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Prayer Tree]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.spiritgoddess.com/1/post/2012/04/the-prayer-tree.html]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.spiritgoddess.com/1/post/2012/04/the-prayer-tree.html#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:14:27 -0800</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.spiritgoddess.com/1/post/2012/04/the-prayer-tree.html</guid><description><![CDATA[Guest-Posting over at www.creativelifebydesign.com today with Jodi Lebrun!&nbsp; Have a visit and watch my live prayer video!!

I gloriously stumbled across Ronni Ann Hall's web-space and online fairy school.&nbsp; You see, I've always found refuge in nature.&nbsp; Always feeling renewed when spending time surrounded by trees, flowers and big gaps of beautiful sky.&nbsp; Early on, as a child, I grew and experienced life through a very unique lens.&nbsp; <br /><span></span><br /><span></span>I could feel, sense and see so much more than what my physical eyes took in.&nbsp; I didn't understand this and had very little support that led me to the decision that I just had a wild imagination and I should keep it to myself.&nbsp; So, my body took a beating...it took most of the blows.&nbsp; It grew weak and toxic.&nbsp; I never accepted my "abilities".&nbsp; I didn't even know about them.&nbsp; I ignored all physical reactions and intuitive hints.&nbsp; I begin to accept that I was damaged.&nbsp; That set me up for a most fear-based and difficult path.&nbsp; It was at this time, that I begin to search for relief and healing and what I found was that there were others...others like me, others experiencing very similar things.&nbsp; I came to understand that I was a "sensitive being" and that I had been living a pattern of taking on and feeling all the energies around me.&nbsp; This awareness brought me into a new light, a new level, and a greater and more conscious ME.<br /><br /><span>So I sought out support and begin to explore things that interest me, one of them being;
