Physic Readings

Oh my! My Healing Apprenticeship is so incredible. We completed 2 days of a 3 day Physic Reading workshop. We learned how to do an Akashic Record reading, a Soul Contract readings, Aura and Chakra reading, automatic writing and a life path reading. For home work we had to do one of each of those readings. I must say I am blown away at my ability to connect and do the readings. Everyone I read for said I was on point and I also felt it. It is incredible, I didn't think this stuff could be taught, I thought you either have it or you don't.

I have always felt something but didn't know how to develop it and now I am just without words. I am currently offering free Archangle Card readings please visit my facebook page for details. This is my new facebook page and business name :)

Between your Heart & your Voice

I'am in the middle of a one year Healer Apprenticeship Program which includes a one year cleansing and purification process, working on self. I'm currently working on my throat chakra, although I am dealing with some serious heart issues. I continue to meditate on it and know what I must do and who I need to speak to. Yet there comes a time in which you must simply accept what is and move on. Not fully getting closure, because the answers are clear but hard to accept. And so I deal with the pain and work through it.

I started to wear a Rose Quartz pendent to ease the process. To open myself to love, to self love, love of family, romantic love and universal love. Its a very soft, calming and soothing stone, great for the hearth chakra and all matters of the heart. Highly recommended.

The Love of Pets

I like having pets just as much as I like having plants. They add a special energy to the home. A few years ago my grandfather, my Papachuy told me "it is good to have lots of plants and pets in your home, because when the bad comes your way, your plants and animals will take the hit for you". That type of knowledge is passed on from word of mouth, from studying nature it self and/or it is passed on in DNA, maybe. For those that don't study nature, the information is in books, which I also read. I like Feng Shui's theory on energy and it's flow. I can actually feel the difference in the energy in my home when I move stuff around. 



Our Pets play a very important role in our life. Every day they bring us joy and love. Taking care of our pets is a team effort and we all do our part to keep our pets healthy and safe. The boys learn to take care of someone besides themselves. They are always thinking of getting more pets. I can only take so much.

Yemaya

This past Friday I went to the beach for a bonfire going away party for a friend. It made me reflect on how old I feel Im getting. As I watched the sun set, all I could think of was how cold it was going to get as soon as the sun went down behind that mountain. But with old age comes experience so I was prepared with socks, a sweater and a blanket. It turned out to be an amazing night out without the boys. I enjoyed the peace and quiet, I was able to think to my self and hear my thoughts clearly. If you are a mom, I recommend you do this ones in while to get some focus and get centered. 

As I took a walk along the beach I came across an offering for the Deity Yemaya from the Yoruba traditions. I felt blessed to be able to witness such an offering. Yemaya is the goddess of the ocean and governs over love, motherhood, children, child bearing and healing, in particular health problems associated with women. If you are facing a situation of the like you may want to go to Yemaya and make an offering. She prefers  fish, fruits (watermelon, cantaloupe, berries, and coconut especially), white wine, all seafood, lettuce, coffee and honey. 

Heart Chakra & Astral Body Spirit Guide

  My spiritual quest continues. This month I'll be working on my heart chakra & Astral Body, buckle up your seat belts and keep your hands and feet inside, it will be a bumpy ride.

I had a hard time during my vision quest this weekend as I sat there and listen to the drumming with my eyes close. My thoughts were all over the place "should I go sit at my favorite place by the waterfall and stream, but that's where I met my last two guides it can't be here again", "oh, the beach, wait I don't want a whale or a mermaid to be my guide", "I'll go to space, what the hell is going to be my guide here, Miztli's (my sons) space worm", "let me go to the stream" "finally, I'll sit here" I thought. As I sat there I felt something come sit by my side, a rabbit? Yup, a white rabbit.

Rabbit reminds us to examine and utilize the tools we have within ourselves. Although our instincts are innate, they also need nurturing and development. Rabbit meanings deal primarily with abundance, comfort, and vulnerability. Traditionally, rabbits are associated with fertility, sentiment, desire, and procreation. 

Finding Self Again

Wow!! I know its been such a long time, I didn't even remember the site or what email I used to create this blog. I had to look back at my old On-Line Organizer.

I would like to explain a little about what happened as part of my journey back to self.

I found myself in a relationship with a narcissist. It is said that Empaths fall victim to narcissist fairly easily. So there I was several years into my relationship which I thought was like a fairytale, love at first site. My dream quickly turned into a nightmare. Needless to say that relationship ended with an Attempted Murder police report against my Ex.

As soon as the nightmare was over, I began my journey back to self. It has been a long two years, but I am finally here again. I begin to see a glimpse of self again. I have been doing a lot of work.

• Weight loss: Being in an abusive relationship takes a toll on your emotions and on your body. I found my self emotionally eating. My highest weight was 201, since then I have lost 25lbs and continue to work on my weight. I began to create a healthier lifestyle and eating habits. I usually skip dinner, fasting about 16 hours a day. I eat much healthier, take many supplements, minerals, herbs and the such to keep myself felling heathy. 
• Healing Apprenticeship: I'm in the middle of a year long healing apprenticeship. It is amazing!! I am now a REIKI Practitioner, Crystal Healing Practitioner and working on the Sound Healing certificate. If you are in Los Angeles and would like to book a session please message me or comment below. 
• I'm an Empath: Via my journey back to self, I came to discover I'm an Empath. I'm learning how to deal with other peoples emotions and to be able to differentiate my energy from other peoples. 
• BAR Exam: I'm currently studying for the BAR exam in July 2017. This will be my 3rd time taking the exam. My first time was in 2012 and I was about 120 points off, the second in 2014 was even worse (as it was very close to the end of my relationship and it was a very bad time for me). I've been studying for months now but still feel I'm not ready. June 15th is the deadline for me to pay for it, the fee is close to $1000 including room and food, which I am unable to pay for at the moment. I just keep studying hoping it will all work itself out if it is meant to be. 
• Crafting: I am back to crafting. From making fairy gardens to making healing salves and of course Im back to journaling, reading and organizing my thoughts. I came to a realization that part of the reason I stopped being happy in my relationship was because I stopped doing what made me happy, I stopped taking care of self. But I also see that I did so in an attempt to sustain the relationship. I gave self up for the relationship and that made me unhappy. 

So happy to be back, expect to see more of me :) 

It's Been a While!

Ladies, I've been super busy as can be.

You will be pleased to know I continue to study for the BAR exam, taking the BAR SECRETS approach. Have 8 topics memories in level 1. Need to speed it up a bit.

I actually got some work done on my Book of Shadows, have no idea how that happened but here are a couple of pictures. I water colored...all credit goes to Magic Love Crow.

Also, I just found out someone left a dead chicken and some bones with chilly on them right at the entrance of my mothers home. She is of the believe that if you believes in it she gives it power. However, I believe it has power whether you believe or not as long as the other person believes. I told my cousin who is a much stronger witch then I and we agreed to cleanse my mothers home while she is not there. Im thinking of adding a magickal grid at her house for future protection.

The children are children my oldest will start kindergarden next month. He will be attending a charter school which will teach him English, Spanish and Nahualt (Aztec) and Mandarin. He is really exited and so am I. Love the back to school specials cant go wrong with that. The little one gave me a black eye last week, as I lay in their bed set on the floor talking to my best friend about her adventures in her last trip to Brazil. My boys ran around the house the little one came running into the room and flew super man style right into my face, breaking my glasses right in my face, the glasses broke and cut my eyelid about an inch. It was a nasty nasty black eye and everyone even my mother, mainly my mother thought it was my loving partner. I felt super bad for him, as he was given the dirty looks and I the "oh, I feel sorry for you" look. It was indeed embarrassing.

Inspired by the Goddess

I was first inspired by Magic Love Crow to paint as I always enjoy her art work. So I decided to pull out that old watercolor kit I purchased at Costco years ago. The kit comes with a few pictures drawn for you, all you have to do is fill it in. That is what I did in this first picture.


The second was all me, I drew it with a pencil and colored it in my self. I was inspired by the Goddess and the Mexican representation of the Goddess, that is The Virgin Mary. My next painting will be politically oriented.

Hope you ladies and guys enjoy.

Life Up Date

I definitely miss blogging a whole lot and all my blog friends, hope that I can come back to it soon. I tried to do a blog a week, but that didnt work. So, whats been going on you ask?

Work: I have that second job working 10-15hrs a week at an aunts business, as an office administrator. There is always something to do so that job gives me a lot of energy. Its new. At my old job or my full time job everything is same ol' same ol' thing. Good news, my boss is leaving the organization after 11 years. I actually did some bura bura for him to leave to a better places at the beginning of this year. Didnt think it worked, but 6 months later he is going. He will take a year off to travel the world. wow! Now, I need to do some bura bura for me to get his job. :)



  My business: What can I say I dont put much into it, the website kinda just sits there. Dont know how to get traffic on it. Not too worried about it, it will happen when it does.


 Personal: What can I say its like living with two kids under 5 and a teen boy, the 3 of them drive me nuts, kids and daddy. Yet, Im so blessed to have a family so beautiful.  We want to take the 4th of July weekend to go camping. We want to go to Yosemite, but it is booked, so is Sequoia. So we need to think of something else. Maybe, camping on the beach. Miztli my 5 year old picked up skate boarding and I picked up watercolor painting. I will take a picture and share soon, I just filled in the colors, dont think I became an artist over night, lol.  By the way the watercolor painting was inspired by Magic Love Crow.



  School/Study: Well, Im part of the Executive Board for my school, People's College of Law. I try to be as active as possible as it is a student run school for the most part. On the studying, Im getting more of it done. With the new part time job I have lots of extra cash, so I have invested in some study material, about $250. I wish I can take a prep course but those are about $4000. So, Im good with the extra study material called BAR Secrets, they are really good, very visual with charts and all. The plan is to take the exam for February 2014, I have the money saved for the exam already, so that wont be a problem again. Im really exited to start to study, I need to get that little paper they call a license to stop some of this abuse of power by some folks.


  Spiritually: Im on pause on that. Haven't been doing much, but my dailies or weeklies I should say, its down to cleaning my house on the weekends. Although, I have been listening to the secret on CD and I just got The Four Agreements on CD too. The Four Agreements is a really good book, Ive been putting it to practice and it helps to be mindful with my words.

Well, thats about it ladies. Busy busy as can be. Again, I really do miss reading your blogs and reading your comments.

Book Fair

A couple of weekend ago we had the Spanish book fair in town. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and for those who dont know Im a book collector. I purchased two books for my children one of which was a Wizards book titled "Magos". It is a lovely book which describes the different type of Wizards, those who use the power of persuasion, the power of illusion and many more. It reviews the the items/tools a wizard needs and the history. It is in Spanish but a very good read.
Then during the week I had a home inspection up in the valley. When I drive up there I like to stop by one of the old fashion book stores owned by an old couple. There I found this great Wizard Handbook which includes 50 spells. My idea is to give it to my oldest child when he has the ability to use it.

On another note, whats up with pinterest, I was able to add my pictures without the widget. Anyone know if we can still do that and how?

My Witch's Hutch

I have been dreaming about having my own witch hutch for a while now, even wrote a blog about it. Well, I finally made it happen. I found the perfect hutch at a perfect price and had the money to get it all at the same time,it just came together. I was waiting a few months for it to happen. Well, it finally did and below budget, I was willing to pay $150, but I found it for only $60 on craigslist.

I am so happy, as soon as we brought it up stairs  I began to put it together. All my little nick nacks and books, its coming together. Here are a few pictures. Im so happy.

My Money Corner

I was surfing the net and found this website http://www.kenlauher.com, on feng shui, not even sure how I got there but I did. I watched a couple of videos and got motivated to move some things around in my home.

I decided to start at my money corner. I had several items known to attract wealth but had them here and there. It took me about 5 minutes to clean the area and put all the items together.

I added a money tree, a water fountain, a citrine stone, a money frog, a couple of visualization tools and an apple. Not sure why I added the apple. It seemed a bit empty or as if something was missing, I walked around the house and thought of an apple. Have no idea why, I just went with it.

 I will let know what develops  and when that area in my life gets on track. And if you have any ideas of things I can add, by all means let me know.

Blessings and wealth to all.

I know, I know

I know it's been a while. It's not like I don't think about you all, I really do. I even have my next two blogs just waiting to be typed and posted.

I have a lot going on at the moment.  As I got a second J-O-B, Im helping an aunt in her family business a couple of hours in the morning, before going in to my full time job.






                                      Not to mention my full time job.

It's a little spending money, which I have allocated to the weekend spending with the family. I found my self not going out on the weekends because it wasn't in our budget. But now I get a small check each week just to go out to eat and have fun with the family. It's nice but it still seems like its just never enough. Why is that?

Treasure Hunt

I love going to local swap-meets, you can find some true treasures. When I find little nick nacks most people dont really know what it is or what it is used for.

 This past weekend I found this little figure/hand gesture, its about 3 inches tall and made of wood with crystals glued at the base.  Im sure most of you are a wear of the meaning behind this hand gesture. For those who are not, it basically reverts any negative energy sent your way. There are several hand gestures that do the same and are different around the world.

This particular hand gesture is one of my favorites along with the one where you flick your thumb outward on you upper teeth.

I love it, I saw it and thought hooooo, I must have it. Im thinking of taking it to work.

Weekend Get Away

Well, we are getting ready to go on our first camping trip of the year, we are going to Lake Perris. We will be going with my cousin and his family along with other family. We like using these weekend get-aways as a mini-prep course. Time to reconnect with Mother Nature.

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend.


Blessings

How do you Fill Up Your Life?

 I found this post on my Facebook, read it and thought you might enjoy it. Great end of the week reminded to spend some quality time with the family and friends. Brought to you by True Activist on Facebook. 




A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes”. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed The professor waited for the laughter to subside… “Now”, said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things… Your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.” “The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your home, your car.” “The sand is everything else… The small stuff.” If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house or fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities, the rest is just sand. One student asked, “What about the beer?” The professor responded, “No matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of beers.”

Take Your Shoes Off

I picked this up a while back and that is to take my shoes off when I come home. I read in a Feng Shui book, not sure witch one, but I read that on a daily bases we go about our day picking up dead/negative energy with our shoes and when we get home we welcome into our home. The cure for that ill is taking your shoes off at the door, its best to keep your shoes in a closet by the door. We dont have one by the door so we keep a shoe rack right next to the door. Doesn't always look all nice but it can happen.

It's Sad

Im sadden a bit, disillusioned.

Its sad that education has such a high price on it.

My deadline to pay for the exam was April 1, a universal joke, I guess.

I was crunching numbers and the reality hit home. I paid my rent or paid my test. With two small children at home there was nothing to think about.
