Healing yourself from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with Alternative Medicine

Healing yourself from PTSD with Alternative Medicine!

My personal journey

PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), Is one of the toughest conditions I have personally had to deal with. For years it haunted me, taking away my peace. It was during those years that I decided to put my expertise of medical Shamanism to good use. I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t want to test the full range of healing that could come from Shamanic Medicine.  I told myself that I had helped so many people with different conditions because I had healed myself first. Which eventually gave me knowledge to help other people dealing with those blockages I had conquered.  I saw a PTSD as nothing different. As a shaman, it is a custom to heal yourself from your past demons, current emotional blockages, and any subconscious hindrance that is stopping you from living to your truest potential. The following advice comes from three years of my personal battle with PTSD. This is what helped me get my life back, so I could go back to being who I really was.

For those of you unfamiliar with post-traumatic stress disorder, it’s a condition that comes after experiencing a traumatic event.  Some events have greater weight than others, and it’s those events that can leave a haunting impression on us.  PTSD is most commonly seen in soldiers, but is not limited to war. Child abuse can lead to PTSD, and other social scars can do the same thing.  The results are uncontrollable flashbacks. These flashbacks can be extremely vivid, throwing the person back to the moment that caused their trauma. For some it completely immobilizes them, and for others it makes living extremely difficult. You may feel an uncontrollable urge to sleep for several days, all while having nightmares and confusing thoughts. Those are only some of the blockages that at person with PTSD can be facing.

For me personally, I would sleep for days… with no energy to eat, shower, or other.  My friends would have to wake me, and help me with the most basic of things. If not, I would sleep like a fairytale character cursed by some witch.  My dreams became so frequent, and vivid, that I would wake up at times questioning what was fact from fiction.  There’re times where I would begin reliving a memory, but then the effects of dreaming would tamper with the memory.  There were days where I would spend the entire day trying to sort out what wasn’t part of a dream.  My fear, was letting the dream take control over my psyche, my reality. I was most certain that insanity would be the result if I slipped.  If I didn’t experience lapses in my memory, I would have dreams of an epic battle that I was in the middle of. For those of you familiar with Dragon ball Z (anime show), I was always in the final showdown with Broly… the legendary super Saiyan. If he one, I would sleep for another few days; if I won, I would have a few days to a week of regular living.  It became a priority to never lose this battle. It was after I won, that I would dedicate myself to cherishing every actual living moment I had.

Even when I wasn’t sleeping, I was far from free. The PTSD kept me terrified in anxiety of leaving my home alone, or in general.  As a result, the network of people that I had spent years building dissipated.  Surely depression followed.  When I did step outside of my house, usually with a friend, I would have moments where I would be shopping for groceries and suddenly find myself reliving a flashback. To the rest of the world, it looked like I checked out. This made it impossible for me to drive, and only made it more difficult to leave the house because I found myself checking out during walks. It had to stop!

That’s when I decided to put all of my training, and knowledge to finding the escape route. I had been accustomed to different states of mind during meditation, and interdimensional travel…. but nothing like this.  I had to engineer a plan to escape my own subconscious. My mind would just remember all my masters, and this felt like a final exam I hadn’t studied for.

So here we GO!

1.     Resolve, & Knowing

You have to be dedicated to healing yourself. You need to be real with yourself. Know that this will not go away in a day, month, or year even. Healing takes time, and that time is dependent on you. I hope that these tools speed up your recovery, and if you find anything else that helps…share them with us! Remember to motivate yourself. The illusion of failure here is simply that, an illusion. YOU CAN DO THIS!

& Don’t you ever forget it.

Other articles might tell you to have faith, I won’t. Faith, is in a way, to force yourself to believe it will work. I’m telling you to KNOW it will work. The law of attraction and manifestation highlight that your mind has incredible power. If you’re mentally sure that you will get better, the universe has no other option but to respond. We can’t manifest cures at will, but we can manifest our well-being. This is your strongest tool. Positive thoughts, and energy behind everything you do. Most of us visit a Western doctor, and just trust that they know what they’re doing. Some of us even know that a western doctor will do something for us to make us better. It’s the exact same in the situation.

2.     Support

I would say that this is a requirement …. But, everyone’s situation is different. You need to get your support system involved. If your support system knows about your goals to better yourself, they can keep you motivated. Tell them what approach you would like to take (holistic or other), and develop a plan for success!

3.     Feng Shui & Color Therapy

Feng shui is the art of arranging belongings in your home in ways that produce, and maintain the flow of positive energy. It’s a lot easier than many make it out to be. I’ll even give you a map to use. I personally love to use crystals over a ton of furniture rearrangement. The one thing I tell everyone about furniture is to make sure that you can’t see yourself in the mirror from your bed. If you can see yourself in the mirror while lying in bed, this will produce negative energy. The main thing about this form of therapy is having clean, open spaces.

By having less objects that interrupt the flow of energy, you can welcome in more positive energy. I essentially want you to find each area of the map within your house. The rooms may not be all on the same floor, so use common sense when mapping what rooms go where. The following list of stones placed in the correct areas of Feng Shui, will leave you baffled. Also, pay attention to the colors on the map that correspond to each room. This is where the color therapy comes in. The list below are some of the stones I use in my house.

Prosperity: Citrine, Pyrite, Jade

Fame: Sardonyx, Carnelian, Bronzite

Love: Rose Quartz, Moonstone, Coral

Family: Selenite, Malachite, Rose Quartz

Physical: Quartz, Celestite, Amethyst  

Children: Amethyst, Citrine, Sepentine 

Knowledge: Lapis, Septarian, Lodalite 

Career: Labradorite, Lodilite, Jade, 

Helpful: Citrine, Malacite, Sunstone

What is color therapy and how does it work? Color has a significant impact on the human mind, body, and soul. That’s why hospitals have certain colors to help with healing, or staying calm. This is a form of healing that is grossly overlooked due to its ease of access, and application. You can play sees colors in each room by painting walls, putting objects of that color in the room, or even something as simple as making your bedroom sheets that particular color. After some time, you will begin to notice a difference in yourself, your environment, and even those who live with you. My family absolutely loves it. So, I’ll even give you a nice breakdown of what each color can do for you.

• Red brings in vitality, sensuality, vigor, and confidence. It helps make you feel safe.
• Orange stimulate sexuality, allows the ability to have more emotional control over yourself, and can stimulate creativity. It helps fight off feelings of guilt.
• Yellow is great for mental focus, clarity, creativity, and transcendence of thought. It helps fight off feelings of shame.
• Green helps calm the environment, mind, and body. It’s great for stress relief, healing of all kinds, and promoting healthy life choices. This color helps reinforce your feelings of love and progression from the past.
• Blue helps calm the mind, is good for inducing sleep, and promotes the creation of sound. What I mean by this is that it encourages people to talk. Blue helps disarm the soul. It will open up the flow of knowledge available to you.
• Purple is great for your intuition. It will heighten your senses, promotes creative problem solving, and allow you to see the bigger picture. Purple is great for stress relief, sleep, relaxation, aids in the creative arts that deal with writing.
• White is a high healing color. Yeah - a lot of people have white in their house, but do you notice how much brighter a room is with the white on the walls? Since white is a combination of color, by wearing white you’re constantly exposing yourself to all the colors. Remember you don’t have to just wear it either.
• ·The last color I recommend, and is my favorite, gold. Though many healers will tell you that white is the master healing color, Gold is a high concentration of light and positive energy. Gold Will motivate you to succeed, and let go of any pesters that don’t really matter. Gold can make you feel great about yourself again, and about living. It will help you heal faster.

4.     Plants! Green, Green, Green

I had always had the black hand of death with plants, (I know a shaman plant killer is WEIRD). I had read so much about Japanese forest medicine that my friends figured they would bring the concept to me. They helped me set up a few pots with plants I found beautiful. This in time grew on me. My plants were my pets, I could not ignore feeding them! So, I would start trying to force myself out of bed in the morning, JUST to water the plants. If I went back to sleep…it was a process. As time passed, waking up didn’t seem so heavy, my plant collection grew, and I began to see a shift in myself. If I couldn’t do it for myself, at least I could do it for my garden. The green would great me every morning, helping me change my mental progression each day. It’s safe to say that I am no longer the grim reaper of plants. Push yourself a little more each time, keep hope, and soon you will reap benefits too.

5.     Service Dog

Like I said, getting out of the house was difficult beyond comprehension.  After some time with the plants, I felt like I could take on a small dog. I was home alone a lot, and since the plants managed to get me up in the mornings, I thought a dog my push me through my day. In time, Artemis became my service dog, and now we go everywhere together. He’s helped me with going out alone, without fear because I have him. If I’m ever anxious… he’s there with all his fluffiness to calm me down. With the help of Artemis, and Pokémon Go, I’m driving again! I only mention Pokémon because it really did motivate me to play. I was forced to go on walks with Art if I wanted to get more levels! So, if you hold a spot for Pokémon…try the combo and see where it goes.

Now, you are probably thinking that getting a service dog is ridiculously hard! Wrong. If you are someone who is blind, or needs a dog for those purposes…you need a professionally trained therapeutic dog. You want to get a service dog because they can go anywhere people are allowed, and cannot be turned down. Emotional support dogs can be turned down at public transportations, and are not considered a requirement for your health.

What you need:

-Get a letter from a mental health professional stating that they recommend a service animal.

-Then get your gear! I went here to get my certificate, vest, and handler ID.

-Carry the prescription and ID with you at all times. No one has the right to ask you why you need the dog, but they can ask you what services the dog provides.

-Know your rights!

RULES:

Your dog must abide by human customs. That means:

-No barking

-No eating off of floors

-No jumping on people

-The Animal has to be under the table by you at all times when sitting unless you have a medical condition that requires the dog on your lap

Your dog should be a hypoallergenic dog that sheds only once or twice a year, if at all.

If you can’t properly train your dog to follow basic commands, I suggest hiring a trainer.

I’ve always had dogs, so I knew what was needed to train Art. I did plenty of research when training so that no one could give me crap later about my service dog.

*FYI- not any dog is considered a service breed…like Pitbulls etc.

If you can’t properly handle a service animal, skip this step entirely because you make it harder for people who actually benefit from this form of healing.

6.     Reiki & Antojai

Energy healing is on the rise in western society as of late, but it has been around for centuries. The bible even describes it when Jesus heals by touch. This goes for so many other dogmas, and philosophies. Scientifically, it has only been around since 1922, when Reiki was developed. Almost a century later, 94 years to be exact, Antojai was also developed. Each energy style is great on its own, but it’s when they are put in combination that the definition of energy healing evolves.

Reiki stands for universal life energy. When a Reiki healer works on you, they are filling you with the energy that flows within all life across the universe. If you choose to try this non-invasive method, I would say trying a session first… and if you like it, LEARN IT! If you learn Reiki you will have it readily available at all times. Plus, you will save costs in the long term if you already have financial restraints.

Reiki will prepare your mind, body, and soul for a deeper stage of healing. If you are not used to energy healing, Reiki is the key to understanding energy medicine. This should be a consistent standard to your healing. I give myself Reiki every day. Think of it as a mega anti-depressant, and beyond. If you have body pain, reiki! If you are low on energy, reiki! If you are feeling negative in any way, reiki. You get the point.

Click here, or full detailed medical information about reiki by the University of Minnesota. Reiki gave me the energy I needed to pursue my healing process, and it made it much easier to walk that path.

Some reiki instructions can be expensive, $700+. I teach it in person, or by distance anywhere around the world at a fraction of that. Other courses take a weekend. My course is 2.5hrs, 3 TOPS! That’s how fast you can learn it. Reiki can be achieved by anyone who truly wishes to learn it. Everyone should have access to a form of healing, and it’s because of that reason that I teach it starting at $280/usd. Click here to set up your instruction now!

Now, not everyone can learn Antojai, but you should take advantage of it if you have access to a Antojai Master. I recommend it if you are already a frequent Reiki user, or if you need a deep healing to allow you to enjoy the benefits of reiki.

Antojai essentially targets the causes of your PTSD, and helps you with releasing ties to triggers. My condition was so bad I ended up trying western medications for a while before my research. As I began to apply Antojai to myself daily, I began to see changes in the ways I was thinking, the things I was inspired to do, and so much more. It was because of Antojai and Reiki that this healing suggestion is present today. Antojai opened full access to the components of my subconscious so I could address, heal, release, or erase the glitches within my subconscious. I was on 5 different medications, and today I’m down to 1. With Antojai and Reiki I was able to free myself from the depths of my own mind.

I began applying different signatures of Antojai to myself, and I would switch the signature in use every month. Month one was Kundalini, 2 Emotional Sacral, and so on. For seven months, I applied it to myself- and I’m a totally different person. I feel like I have my life again, and I can pursue being the person I have always aimed to be.

7.     Subconscious Diving

Subconscious diving is the act of going within yourself to analyze the root causes of certain thoughts.  Some people need a hypnotherapist, or energy healer to help them through this kind of healing. It is possible for you to do it on your own though.

This technique doesn’t work for everyone, but if it does work for you… Take full advantage of it. I constantly dive within my own subconscious to understand myself better by analyzing my experiences. The experience doesn’t really matter where it took place, or when. The importance of this exercise is to understand why a particular effect was in play at that time. For instance:

In mid-college, I had moments where the world just seemed lost, and internally I didn’t know where I was either.  This memory use to pop up all the time at random. It wasn’t until I went into my subconscious, and addressed my past self, that I was able to release myself. I sat down with my past self and explain to him what the future holds. I told him that everything would be okay even though right now it doesn’t seem like it. After the first time doing this, I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders, but it wasn’t fully gone. It took me another subconscious dive to that same memory, along with journaling to completely erase my ties to this moment that exacerbated my PTSD.

Not all of these modalities, and techniques will work for everyone, so go with what feels right.

8.     Soul Retrieval

 So, retrieval is the act of going to a point in time where a vital portion of yourself was lost. This can be in a memory of a past life, your childhood, or something current that you didn’t even notice had taken a portion of you.

Most people need an energy healer, or a past life regression is to help them with this kind of healing. Some Reiki Masters can perform this kind of procedure.  If you are accustomed to meditation, you can do it yourself as well. Just go online and find the most popular book on Amazon that talks about the process of soul retrieval. This kind of healing can be very beneficial as it is a form of you putting yourself back together spiritually. This then transfers over to mental faculties, and finally physical.

This kind of healing should only be done when you feel ready for it. Your soul will let you know that you’re prepared to receive this kind of information. You may start hearing, seeing, or thinking about soul retrieval. This is an indication that you perhaps should try this method of healing. The results are completely different for everyone, since we each have our own personalized demons. Try it out!

9.     Journal Transfer

The technique of journal transferring your emotions is something many people have done for centuries, and hidden from those of us who actually could benefit from it. It may take you little bit to get accustom to doing this style of healing, but once you start… it’ll be a lifesaver.  One major technique I use with journaling is analyzing my life. If I have an altercation with someone, but I just can’t shake it off, I write about it. I deconstruct the meanings behind the interactions, and I find my own rationale.

Other times, I may be faced with a flashback that randomly attacked to me. This is why I carry my journal with me everywhere. It has a pen attached to it that I absolutely love writing with, and my notebook itself is beautiful to look at. It’s the little details that draw me to it. You want to same affect with your journal. Connect with it, as it essentially is an extension of your soul. When I get hit by this flashback, I may be forced to lay down for a while, but I write everything that I can down. Even if it’s not in straight lines, or they’re half ideas… every bit you can get out helps. When you’re Flashback passes, you can look at these notes and deconstruct so many things from it. I’ll give you my example:

Many years ago, I knew this woman who was extremely dense in her ability to connect with other people through empathy. For some reason, I always felt like I had to do something for this woman, but every attempt was met with negativity. I couldn’t avoid her, so I saw no other options at the time. For some reason, it always bothered me not accepting the fact that this person was not worth my energy. That it wasn’t my responsibility to drag her from the depths of her own misery. This tiny detail has haunted me for years without me fully understanding why. When I finally wrote it down, it was as though I transferred the entire experience onto the paper. I was later able to deconstruct it with tree maps, and other methodologies that help you analyze a topic to find peace with this matter.

A moment trapped in history, that haunted my soul for some reason, that would put me down for a 2hour sleep… no longer surfaces. This kind of technique is similar to erasing a file on your computer, or rewriting it all together. This is a similar technique found in soul retrieval, and subconscious diving. I do not limit you to just one particular mode of detoxification. I do know there’re some people who cannot accept the metaphysical easily, and for you this journal technique is perfect. I’ve been doing this technique for over six months now, I love how it has released my mind from the monsters that haunted me.

Not every recollection will fall into a journaling category, interacting with your deepest portions. Feel no stigma, feel no shame because no one needs to know what you’re writing about. Remember, there are people who write every day. I only say this because when I began the journaling technique, I would feel as though I were being judged for being strange. No one judges a person reading a book. Apply that same concept to your writing.

I will be adding an instructional podcast for further assistance on this technique.

10.  Forceful Courage

The world may make you feel out of place during your healing. REMEMBER, you are healing. It’s better than being a victim to the consequences of your condition. I'm not entirely healed, but I am determined to continue to fight. I wish you the very best on your journey, and feel free to reach out with any questions.

I leave you with this wonderful TED Talk by Eleanor Longden.

To all appearances, Eleanor Longden was just like every other student, heading to college full of promise and without a care in the world. That was until the voices in her head started talking. Initially innocuous, these internal narrators became increasingly antagonistic and dictatorial, turning her life into a living nightmare. Listen to how she helped heal herself.

How to find a reliable Psychic that works for you!

Hey everyone, 

So, I am writing this new post due to the increasing complaints I hear about people going to Psychics who didn’t know what they were doing. Many of my clients see an immediate difference when they come to me for their reading after seeing someone else. So if you are not in the Detroit area, I want to help you find someone in your area that is WORTH YOUR TIME & MONEY!  

Don't forget, I do online video & phone distance readings for people all around the world.

CLICK HERE TO SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW

---

Really fast: 

• Psychics are people who have extra sensory abilities, but this does not mean they are Masters, or Mediums. 
• Mediums tend to be Female, but are not limited to the female sex. Many elitist will preach that only women can be mediums. FALSE! Mediums tend to be connected to afterlife energies. All mediums are not the same. Some just deal with the dead, others dabble in various arts. 
• Ascended Masters are mostly Male, but not limited to the male sex. Ascended Masters are connected to the frequencies of life & reality. Like myself, we tend to do a lot of education, awakening, and research of ancient knowledge; combining it with discoveries found in Quantum Science. Our goal is to help the human race evolve. Ascended Masters are undeniable. You know when you are around one without question because their energy is so strong they instantly calm you, or make you feel power in the room. Ascended Masters are not all the same either as we each have dedicated ourselves to a particular study of quantum shamanism. 

The first thing you need to do before scheduling any appointment, is to do some online research. You will notice that a true psychic with “accurate-sight” will have high ratings, and reviews across various platforms. Most of their work maybe on their website. If there is a nice blend of Facebook, Yelp, Google, or other reviews to back up their site testimonials; you can rest assured there is credibility about this readers skills.

Some shops have readers they switch out seasonally. These shops can easily fool you. Especially, if they sell other products. This is because the shop is riding off its general name, not the quality of readers they provide.

Pay attention to the reader’s energy when you first meet them. Many times, you can feel the presence of a powerful reader through their profile, and photos. There’s just a draw to them. Psychics that are good at what they do, have a energy that lets you know they’re connected. You might just intuitively know that the reader is proficient, or you may just feel it. Mediums and Masters will have a chakra presence that assures you they are connected to a higher source.

Let’s pretend you are now sitting down with this reader to begin. The reader has to “Warm-Up” - Leave, this person is not good at the craft! A true reader should be able to start fortune telling almost immediately. Especially, if they use Tarot, Runes, Tracing, or Angels. Why? When a reader is truly one with their spiritual tools, there is no “warm-up” needed. The tool is one with its reader, an extension of the self. Readers that use Spirits may have a lag time between answers as they are relying on someone else. Still no warm up needed, they just take a second to answer each question- sort of like being on dialup. 

If any reader, ASSURES YOU that something will absolutely happen; Leave!  

Fortunes are tied to reality; reality is tied to multiple dimensions; we constantly surf between these dimensions as we manifest our desires. You can change direction at any time if you decide to go against the grain of your current reality-set.

Fate does not exist, but Destiny does. Fate is having no control over what happens. Everything is preplanned, and can’t be changed. Destiny though, is the path to your true-self. Your true self can change with your growth and manifestations. Destiny adapts to your growth. Though we surf different demensions within the same universe, a Destiny is still there. Your destiny has just been modified to fit the final reality you reach.

A reader can truely only say that there is a high-possibility a particular outcome may/will happen...unless something is altered. 

If they say they can do a spell to fix your problems...Leave. Spells have more whiplash than benefits. Some readers can help you by giving you energy healing, or counseling so that you surf towards a dimension that is aligned with your true self.

Some psychics will leave their answers open-ended or half answered so that you are forced to come again and finish the reading. This person is scamming you. A reader should answer all the questions you came in with. You may end up asking more as the session goes on, where if time runs out you will have to schedule a new appointment for your new questions. This is normal.

Finally, if the reader made you feel secure, answered, and centered - LEAVE THEM A REVIEW! This ensures that they can reach more people who actually need their services. You are also helping weed out any fakes, and those who are not adept to help the public. 

Thanks for reading this post. Make sure to share with anyone you know who is looking for a psychic, or loves to visit psychics. Hope this helps you on your journey, wherever you are in the world.

How To Heal After Losing A Spiritual Partner

Break up and Relationship advice.

Sometimes, we meet people we share such deep connections with...that we bond with them wholeheartedly. This can lead to those moments where you can feel the other persons state from miles away, or you may even develope psychic connections that let that person know you more intamatly than anyone else ever will. A person that fits this bill can bring you to the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. The hardest part for anyone...is when this connection can no longer continue romantically. 

It's easy to fall into a pit of depression, and go through the normal cycles of loss & death. Sometimes even after the cycles are done and over with, we can't even say we are fully healed from it. You can google articles on divorce, break-ups, or whatever else you think may help you recover....yet, for many like myself- you never find anything about the deepest of deep connections. So I decided to write about my personal experience, and techniques I have used. I recently got out of a long term relationship myself, and in this light thought it would be a great time to share the techniques I am using to heal. Some are from external sources, and others are from my own meditations. I hope you find serenity sooner with these by your side.

- Master Antojai

1. Take a moment to let things settle down.

Your best friend isn't there anymore, and you need to pick up the personal pace again. It's extremely hard to get back into a new reality, especially if you weren't ready for it. So take your time to let the break-up, and dazed fog floating around you clear up. This helps with moving forward productively as you allow yourself to decompress.

2. Feel, but don't act

Sometimes you'll randomly get the urge to maybe say something unfinished, or maybe you want to work things out. Time is an illusion, but patience is your best friend. Let yourself go through the major parts of loss. Don't say anything until some time has passed. This gives you the ability to analyze the situation, and soundly decide what is best for you.

 3. Don't Stop Moving

It's so hard not to just sleep until you feel better, but you can't stop now. Keep up your creativity, personal interests, and hobbies as these will help you get over the matter sooner. Take up some gym time, read books, or hang out with your friends. Slowing down only makes your healing that much longer. Force yourself, you can do it!

4. Stay Positive

Force yourself to focus on the positives that person brought into your life, and celebrate the experiences you both shared. Many times we focus on the negative most recent facts that just fuel more negativity into your life. Negativity weighs you down, so don't spend time thinking about things of that nature.

5. Let your support system know about your healing

Those closest to you can help you with your healing. Don't keep things bottled up, talk about anything bothering you. Vent, but don't ramble. Let your support system know how hard this is for you, how you want to go about your healing, and how they can help you. Everything is easier in numbers. 

6. Don't lose sleep, redirect yourself

If you are anything like me, high emotions will cause insomnia. The worst thing is waking up at 4AM, and staring at the ceiling letting your emotions eat at you. So get up! Even if it's to stroll the house, use the bathroom, or start early on work - Don't Stop Moving. Fill yourself with positivity, as these kinds of activities will help you heal faster.

7. Write your feelings out on paper instead of resorting to drugs and alcohol.

Get a notebook, and write down all your thoughts. Anything that surfaces! You may make a tree chart, or just freely write - transfer your emotions onto paper. Transferance can be a great tool when applied properly. This helps empty yourself, and also think over the matter more closely. Sometimes we get a even clearer view on the matter once you see it in a new light (literally lol). 

8. Explore yourself

Take this time to just focus on yourself, and catching up with your authentic self. Get to know yourself from a different perspective. You might be amused with what you discover.

On Mystical Experiences

Mystical experiences           

Mystical experiences can happen to anyone at any time. Whether, or not you choose to accept how these experiences happened is completely personal. Some of the most powerfully common experiences include synchronistic moments, insightful dreams, and clairvoyant thoughts.

           Synchronistic moments can be a really weird thing. Sometimes the experience can leave you so baffled that you begin to question the true weight of reality. These kinds of experiences are closely tied to the law of attraction and manifestation. Sometimes a person wants something so bad that all they think about is that target. Whether it’s a object, goal, or person. Your thoughts vibrate, just like everything else in the universe. Since vibrations impact the world and its physical operations, your thoughts are impacting your reality at all times. Summoning your deepest vibrational responses. If you think negative, you get more negative. If you think positive, you get more positive, (Bryne, 2017). That’s why there are those times where you thought so much about an event happening...for instance you wanted to spin a DJ gig, and suddenly things begin to shift so that you end up doing just that. You may meet the owner of a club in some random way who then tells you about his location, and how he just fired the last DJ for whatever reason. Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for! So you tell him you are a DJ and BAM! It’s really that easy. Now manifestation takes some time. Just because you think about it now doesn’t mean you will get it tomorrow. Things need to shift, and fall in place before they are of benefit to you. That’s why it’s important to continuously feed those thoughts of your positive desire, no matter what you may be facing at the time. These kinds of moments can really bring you a level of awe that makes you feel safe on all platforms because something is there working with you to get you to the next step.

            Dreams are said to be communications from our subconscious. In reality they are so much more than that. Dreams are connected to your intuition, which is generated from your third eye, which is constantly aware of unspoken hidden information. Sometimes you dream with a totem and then find out that that dream was very related to whatever you are facing at that time. The totem meaning can even be guiding you to something. Usually people end up seeing the correlations between their dreams and symbolism. After this they usually begin to question if there are other entities that are serving humanity. Other times you may dream with a loved one who may be giving you advice, before the event that is being addressed happens. These kinds of experiences usually drive in deeper that there is a world after this one. Clearly your loved one still exists if they came to you in a dream and gave you the winning mega-million, or helped you avoid death. Usually the totem and other spiritual links like talking to loved ones happen one after the other. So it’s important to pay attention to all dreams and how they are connected to each other.

            Now, has there ever been a moment where you knew information you shouldn’t have known? Maybe there was absolutely no way you could know this information, but somehow you know it and you’re correct. Clairvoyant moments are made up of just that, hidden information now made available through non-conventional means. This information can reach a person through any of the senses. Maybe you hear it, see it as one watches a movie, feel it, live it, or taste it. The most common are visionary and auditory. The information is completely relative to when you tap into your third eye, and how the entire event plays out. You may be talking to someone, and then you know something intimate about them. Other times you may know a new skill before you even read it in a book. The power behind clairvoyant moments is through becoming one with your astral-self. These kinds of experiences can be scary to many as it is uncommon for most. I don’t use unnatural because we are born with an astral-self, we all have a third eye, and we all have the ability to pick up vibrations from our environment so that we can processes higher levels of information. So… 8 out of 10 times it isn’t some negative supernatural thing. It’s you using your body, ("Spirit Science 1 ~ Thoughts", 2017).  Same as when you use your arm. For those who do not grow afraid, this can be a moving experience as it can inspire one to pursue the meaning of spirituality. These kinds of events are most common in those who have directed themselves in a spiritually authentic manner, as they are more in tune with themselves.

Evolving Past Deep Seeded Anger

Soul Retrieval Exercise

Anger is one of the strongest emotions next to hate. When we lack control over our anger, it can take us down a path that only hinders our growth. Maybe it was someone who said something, or maybe a life event that you don’t agree with; no matter which way you look at it…anger is impairing your health, soul, and progress. The best methods I have found for this are self-study, and group therapy, (Seaward, 2013).

Sometimes our anger originates from something deep within our subconscious. The somewhere doesn’t matter in this instance, just the something that caused you that emotional response. Anger can be like a shark. Lurking in the shadows for the right moment to strike, and feed. With patients who experience PTSD from childhood experiences, an effective meditation I developed addresses, confronts, and depowers the emotional response that triggers that flashback.

Mental Control Exercise:

1.     The next time you have a flashback about a unresolved matter that brings you anger - stop it right in its tracks. Pause it like you would a film.

2.     Analyze why this moment brings you this anger. Study the event from every character’s perspective, even the third person narrator.

3.     When you feel like you have a clear enough understanding, talk to that version of you trapped within the memory. Reason with that version of yourself and explain to them the true premise of the situation from your now distant future self. Depending on how determined your subconscious is on holding on to this anger, is whether or not you will have to try this exercise multiple times until it is resolved internally.

4.     When accomplished, the memory that haunted you suddenly disappears. It stops reoccurring because you resolved it at its time. Many times, anger gets the best of us because we decided not to communicate our true feelings at the time needed. We then become resentful, which fuels our anger. This anger takes valuable time from our personal development by making us dwell on the matter. That same anger can then bring us depression, anxiety, stress, and sometimes insomnia. Other symptoms may come from repressed emotions like physical pains that can’t be pinpointed with modern equipment; due to the astral body is damaged, (Carrasquillo, 2017).

The next best exercise is to lay down in a quiet place where no one will bother you. Take a few deep breathes, and start to recall certain emotions (in this case anger). As you summon this feeling, take notice of where you feel it in your body. Notice what the sensations are. Now think of any physical problems you may be facing due to this emotion. If nothing physical is present, then think about how it impairs your functioning and thinking. By doing this exercise you will experience first-hand how your emotions effect you on a spiritual, mental, and physical level. You can do this exercise with any emotion. The more you try it, the better you will get at understanding yourself, your triggers, and how to stop these negative frequencies from affecting you, (Mills, 2017).

These exercises are great within a group system as you can gather other viewpoints for your understanding. If groups, or a partner are difficult to find or afford, these exercises and many more can help you heal yourself. The power of your own health lies within the harmony of your mind. Master that, and all else will follow. Programs like Shamanic Counseling, Alcoholics Anonymous, Mediation Therapy, and Conflict Counseling have shown to have a deep level of spirituality which impacts individuals to make, and support mind/body/soul progression.

How To Cultivate Your Spiritual Development

Shamanic Practices

Following our true path is sometimes a difficult task. Why? Well, a lot of the time we get caught up in the goal we want to achieve… that we forget about the process it takes to get to said goal.

So what are the steps to finding your true path?

It’s first most important to find the goal you want to attain. If you want to be emotionally in control of yourself (just to save us time on endless other scenarios), you have to address your need for change…and why that change is being requested. “I want to be emotionally in control because I have noticed the strain it brings my family when I fly off the handle. They need this from me so that we can ALL live in a better fashion. If I don’t aim at correcting this problem … happiness will never be reached.“

The Dalai Lama’s mantra on happiness is a great example to follow your thoughts by. To advance as a society, we must put the happiness of our brothers within our own happiness, (Carmichael, 2017). We are all one. Your family is a unit of one, a unified source. Therefore, it is only logical to assume that your happiness is directly tied to that of everyone else in your family. You can’t ignore that they have family outside of your known circle as well. So in theory you create a mandala of positive events to take place, ("Dalai Lama speaks on Inner Peace, Inner Values & Mental States", 2017). This imagery came to me one day while reading the Dalai Lamas teachings: There is a village with very low resources. One person is extremely poorer than the rest, and is in hunger. If you take notice that watching this person suffer, in turn makes you suffer, we are one. If we are one, we treat ourselves the way we best want to treat ourselves. If we are one, You don’t want to suffer. If you give a small portion of your happiness to help another, in turn you are helping yourself. So by giving him food you can easily share, you will see him light up, and maybe his light will spread. Other people may feel moved by your willingness to not ignore yourself, that they in turn- will not ignore your brother who is a part of them.

By analyzing the true source for your need to change you can begin to see past the limits of yourself. Now you can take a look into why you react the way you do to certain situations. This path will lead you to see your story from a new perspective. You can then begin to create action plans within your own subconscious to fight off the responses you no longer find fit. Just by thinking of others first, you can now understand yourself more intimately. By understanding yourself at this level, you can take major shifts to finding your true path. This intimacy evolves, and morphs your environment, (Seaward, 2013).

These are the first few steps that may be the hardest. Just being vulnerable with yourself to understand that this is not your universe where everything revolves around you. Sometimes the truth behind that thought is a hard pill to swallow, but it’s a pill that must be swallowed.  It’s through the belief that, “Nothing else matters, but me” - that we lose ourselves to begin with. Before we know it.. we are all alone. Wondering what went wrong. At its most extreme, the individual may never come to grips with the true content of their reality. To think of your universe as one collected pool of vibrations, that reacts to your intentions; you can then begin to accept that by improving yourself, you improve the world, (Carmichael, 2017).  

After that, the rest is literally a voyage of yourself. Each chapter is something new to enhance. Perpetually increasing the positive content around you, and giving you more opportunities to manifest your deepest desires.

5 Core Values That Help Define Spirituality

Spiritual Development and Growth Advice

Five core values I hold that help me define my spirituality are honesty, authenticity, openness, love, and the requirement to evolve. These are things I have learned through life experiences, my mentors, and my own meditations.

The first is to be honest with your reality and every detail in it. That means accepting the things that are hard to accept, being honest with yourself about your faults that may be negative for your growth, be honest with people in your day to day life, and accept that the constant honest law of the universe is change. By lying to myself I do no good to my growth. I may baby myself to a point of no return! Man, is it hard at times to accept the truth…but with time you train your soul to do this with ease and swiftness. By accepting living by a honest viewpoint you can see things about yourself and your reality that no one else is aware of. You feel less stress because you don’t have to keep in mind certain stories. You begin deleting the top layer of noise that blocks your highest vibrations, and in turn everything else around you takes notice. Shifting your reality for a better wellness.

Next that follows is authenticity. When you are honest with yourself you can then begin to be authentic with yourself. To be authentic is to know your true needs, intentions, and from where your impulses originate from. For instance, a person who is authentic with themselves finds it easier to communicate as it leads to less complication later. Authenticity is to be who you are, and not the person society wants you to be. This is a hard core to follow as the world is constantly trying to influence our true nature, but once you come to understand the notion...it becomes second nature to follow your own path. Authenticity is not to be selfish. It is knowing exactly who you are, how you got there, and what you need to move forward. These aspects of the authentic self are immediately tied to love, socializing, and culture. To pursue the authentic self while ignoring life and its factors is to be caught in a perpetual lie. It is through love, friendship, kindness, and unity that the highest levels of self-authenticity are attained. To attain that level of self-understanding one must let go of selfishness, and become selfless. For it is when we relinquish ourselves that we can see ourselves from a new vantage point.

            The authentic self knows that to become more refined, one must be open to new experiences. Openness is one of the next most important aspects to living authentically. One must try to constantly expose themselves to new philosophies, knowledge, ideas, cultures, people, and environments. It’s through these moments that we explore new portions of ourselves we never knew existed. By being open you learn how to understand deeper aspects within your reality.

            Love is a force that has been described in many cultures as the most powerful emotions of humanity. Honesty allows you to see yourself for who you really are. Authenticity helps you live in a manner so the you can pursue resonating paths. Openness grants you the ability to interpret more information. Love allows you to harmonize with your environment. It’s by expanding your capacity to love that you grow to the highest levels of enlightenment. Love is positivity, and brings your reality to a higher vibration. This in effect works to help you attain you deepest desires. Love allows for new opportunities to grow.

            Finally, there is the need to continuously evolve. These first four core values will get you only so far. It is your duty to force yourself to evolve on as many planes as possible. By forcing yourself to evolve you will gain a higher level of consciousness that opens the door to manifestation. Evolve your home, your company, creativity, habits, ways of thinking, anything! Only your soul will know what direction to take.
