Going For The Jugular

Psychic Vampire is a colorful phrase that really offers a clear visual of this experience. If you have not experienced an interaction of this kind, count yourself as fortunate. Most of us have however interacted with one, at one time or another. Even more alarming is the idea that we may actually have been the vampire in question unconsciously.



Psychic vampires suck energy from us whether or not they mean to at the time. Ah, the light dawns, (no pun intended) do you perhaps recognize an occasion or two where you may have indulged in this behavior? It's one of those things we never associate with ourselves when it comes up in conversation. It's naturally one of those "other" people who indulge in such behavior. You know, the ones on the far side of your recognition field with a big sign with letters scrawled in red identifying them clearly.



Unfortunately they are not often clearly distinguishable whether they be us or someone else. A psychic vampire can be anyone, a friend, lover, parent, child. Well, maybe not, we'll let most of the kids off the hook since we expect them to drain us dry, it's part of the job description as a parent that we signed on for. Though it's possible for a parent to display vampirish tendencies, it's much more frequently found among friends and lovers.



Then there is the case of those psychic vampires that actually do consciously mean us harm. I'm not speaking gypsy curses here, though I won't rule out the possibility of it's attempt by some. I'm speaking of the sort of thing when you know others may not only delight in your misfortune but may be be willing to take part in some activity to promote it. Those who hold on to grievance's real or imagined for centuries.





There are many reasons a psychic vampire may become part of your life. Much of it has to do with them. Your involvement is the part of you that is serving as a trigger, usually some fear or strong anxiety you hold is of a vibration they carry and can attach to.



The best way to deal with anyone you sense is bleeding you dry in any way is to be sure you have no places within you they can attach to. Bitterness, envy, negativity.Psychic vampires feed on your fear. If you hold no fear in relation to them or anger, they have nothing to attach to, you lift yourself up above the situation. You can see yourself outside the situation from above, knowing no harm can reach you. Flowing love and kindness from a place of safety.



Of course the best course is to live in a frequency which they do not inhabit which means consciously monitoring our own thoughts and declining those negative anxieties and doubts that abound in their feeding field. Although we can't remain positive 100% of the time, being aware and moving back into a positive state keeps us less likely to become victims.



We also need to stay aware of when our own energy begins to dip, if we wait till it sinks too low we may attempt to use another as a vehicle to raise our vibration because it seems easier then working on ourselves and raising our own energy. Ask for assistance from your angels and guides as soon as you begin to feel yourself slipping. Take care of yourself, eat well, rest. Surround yourself with those things that feed your soul, so that you won't go on your own feeding frenzy or become another's energetic meal.

Monday's Blessing

I've always disliked Monday's, actually many times I've hated Mondays. Today was definitely one that fell somewhere between dislike and strong dislike when I discovered there had been a bit of a break down in financial communications with not one but two creditors. That was not the way I had thought I would begin my week, the surprise factor made it all seem worse along with the fact that I quickly felt myself slipping into self-pity.

When I do that I always get angry at myself because I'm supposed to be the person that shows others how to deal with such stuff and here I am doing a not so great job of it myself. What if anyone found out? What if they knew that I fell into the trap of self-pity and a moment of...make that several moments.....okay twenty minutes of "what's the use" of trying?

So you ask "Where's the blessing"? Kinda like " I still don't see the pony". Here it is, I decided that I would find the blessing. Based on the fact that I facilitate a monthly Blessing Circle it seemed like an apropos choice to actually implement what I was co-creating in the group.
It was the decision that was the Blessing. I made the decison to look away from the issues and focus on the Blessing, any Blessing I could find, but in the act of doing that....I had already found one.

This may not seem like a big deal and I was at first reluctant to write about it and put it out there, but for me, it said that I had made a fairly large leap forward. I usually practice what I preach....except for those times that I'm hit unexpectedly with financial problems I didn't know I had. The ones that hang around regularly, those I can usually manage.

Then I realized all the other blessings inherent in Monday being Monday. A fresh start, a new beginning, anticipation of what I would create in the coming week, opportunities to learn and serve in the days ahead and more. Monday did and does hold a Blessing, it gave me the opportunity, sooner rather than later to walk my talk.

For any out there that find Monday's difficult I challenge you to look a bit more deeply at what it may afford in the way of opportunity and insight.

Have a Blessed Monday!

Infinite Possibility

I'll begin this with the qualification that I don't claim to be a master but I do believe we come here to embody our divine origins in the physical and that as a species we are moving ever closer to that realization. Mastery of our lives is attained by harmonizing with a higher level of consciousness. This higher plane is the realm of original Mind, call it what you will; Source, the Universe...I call it the Light. The ultimate truths of reality; love, joy, peace, prosperity lie here within this Mind, not in the distortion of our limited physical world.



We see these as intangible and unreachable because we live in the physical realm of illusion. It is illusion because it is only a reflection not reality and as we know by looking at a reflection in water and many mirrors, it is often distorted.



When we learn to mentally unite ourselves with the best things, the highest things, that is what we will experience in life. The superior solutions for health, love and power lie within us when we are willing to accesss them through linking to a higher lever of experience. To create a magical life we must deny what others call pragmatic thinking and see it for what it is, limited thinking. Such logical thought posited that man could never fly, or communicate across thousands of miles. We now know with certainty that such thinking though pragmatic at the time, was limited.



We must deny the reality of this world to live in the truth of a higher consciousness of belief in the availability of the best. We must respond to the question " Who do you think you are to believe you can achieve prosperity, love and joy" by saying " I am infinite possibility"

Self-love

We come with glad tidings of News appropriate to your love of self. Much ado is made about love of others and the sacrifice of new birth that you commemorate in your world this Season. Yet we come speaking differently, with reminders of love....of yourselves.

Others will tell you to give to others in this Season of Revival of birth, but we tell you to remember to love deeply who you are. Invest yourselves as well in learning what most deeply brings you peace, brings you joy, brings you meaning, and spend time, even small bits of time doing such things as often as possible, with the intention of showing love for yourselves.

When you are tempted to put yourselves in way of harm such as imbibing those things you may have sworn off of such as richness of food or drink not desired, ask yourself - "is this a loving act toward myself"? When feeling angry, disappointed or frustrated with another or a situation and about to lash out, ask within - "how will I feel towards myself after I blow this steam outward, will I feel loving toward myself"?

When you stop in the moment and ask yourself - "is this love, does this feel loving...for me....to me, much does change. Part of that change becomes more love displayed toward others also, yet this is not the reason we suggest it.

We suggest this little bit of selfishness, this love of self first, and then others, so that you will not be depleted. The well of love from which others drink is filled from within first. You cannot take a teaspoon to the well and then serve a thirsty man a cup of water.

You begin by quenching your own thirst first, by bringing the biggest vessel you can to love's Source and drinking deeply. No more teaspoons, not even cups, we say, begin with a few gallon jugs, then graduate to larger and larger containers that you fill yourselves up to the brim with self-love. Then you may serve a thirsty world.

Lessons

Only ask for assistance and your newest opportunity for learning comes,
The newest lesson presents itself
Ask for it to come easily and gently
Gently, easily, joyfully
Learning doesn't need to be difficult
We make it so hard
Come from within instead of waiting for things to come from without
Feeling the essence is what truly matters
Going forward on our path with purpose despite outer contradictions
Believing, believing
Knowing for some of us our purpose arises anew in every moment
For others, it's unchanging theme
Resonates and unravels
Consistently throughout their lives
Their directional map set to on, always
Either way, the journey can be easy or hard
Make up your mind
Which will you have?

choosing Joy

Encompassing joy
I sit marveling
At the wonder surrounding me
Variety and complexity
Of people and situations
The smell of coffee and newspapers
Multitudes of realities, theirs and mine
Can we step into one another's and share momentarily?
Or shall I close my eyes and when I open them
Find that I have created an entirely new one for myself
Which includes them
Choices of worlds to live within abound
So many chosen unhappily before
I choose differently now

The Moment

I live in the moment it seems, until....
I move into the reality of others
Reminders of time,
The linear prison of thoughts and actions
Dedicated to fear of, not enough.

Reprimanding myself doesn't work
It only brings harm and disharmony

So I embrace it all,
The now, the then, the never
The almost, the may be, the will be
And come once more to this moment
