A couple of months ago I decided to learn a new divination tool that I could offer to people in the readings I do.  I’ve been working diligently in learning this new craft and have found that using this tool has come quite naturally to me.

What are runes, you ask?

This is the most common question posed to me when I tell people I use runes.  Most people have heard of using tarot cards as a medium for divination, and runes are much the same.  They are just a little less well known.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a great workshop!  It is called The Divine Goddess workshop and it was hosted by a wonderful woman, Carole McLatchie.

When I first heard about this workshop, I was really unsure about going.   I didn’t really know what to expect.  I thought it would be a day filled with women talking about their problems and looking for sympathy.  Boy, was I EVER wrong! 

I had a day filled with encouragement, self-empowerment and self-exploration.  Carole provided an environment which felt very safe and open.  This allowed me to be able to open up to myself as well as others and become aware of things that I didn’t even realize.

I think the biggest thing I became aware of was the lack of trust I had in other women, which I am sure that a lot of people can relate to on some level.  For me, this lack of trust was stopping me from starting new friendships.  I would shut down at hello, and didn’t even realize I was doing it.  I am now aware of the reasons why I was like this.  It really got me thinking though.  How many other women out there feel like this?  What are the reasons behind not being able to trust other women?

Why do we have to feel like we need to compete or be better than other women?  Also the feeling of having to judge other women, on their clothes, hair, looks, what they say…etc.  Why are we so hard on other women in our lives?

I think it is because we are not comfortable with who we are ourselves.  The feeling of not being good enough, pretty enough, smart enough.  Our self-esteem has been beaten up by so many factors, of which are different for each woman.  Naturally, it is easier to turn outside rather than inside.  Focus on what others are doing or how they are looking, rather than concentrating on ourselves.  This feels like the underlying root of this problem.

How do we change this?

No…we don’t change ourselves.

We become OK with with who we are as an individual.  We learn about ourselves, be grateful that we are unique.  We embrace our differences, within ourselves and with others.  We start to support other women rather than try to pull them down.  We celebrate our accomplishments, feel inspired by other women, instead of  feeling jealous.  It’s time to turn loathing into love.

If you are in the Moncton area, I would definitely recommend going to this workshop.  This is just one example of what I was fortunate enough to be able to take with me from this wonderful day.  Carole’s website is www.spiritualrejuvenators.ca.

I was given an information sheet about the workshop and I will quote some of the reasons you should attend this workshop if you are able to!

• This is an opportunity to learn how to appreciate and respect yourself as well as other women. This is an incredible “bonding” experience that provides a new perspective on how women view their own sex.
• This workshop is designed to build self-esteem and demonstrates our strengths as well as defining our weaknesses so that we can make the most of our potential.
• As women, we under-rate ourselves.  It’s time to face who we are meant to be and to recognize the incredible power we possess.
• Every woman is meant to be a GODDESS.  Women of all ages.  Married – Separated – Widowed – Single – Divorced. When we learn to connect the Goddess energy within us, then we finally reconnect with our own inner Goddess.

Thanks again Carole!  What an amazing experience that day was!  Thank you to all the wonderful goddesses that attended as well!

I’ve decided to stay a while longer here in New Brunswick as I feel that I have more to learn here.  I originally had planned to come home the end of August, early September, but now I am staying until at least October.  With the possibility of staying as long as a year.  I have been getting intuitive feelings about being here for a while longer over the past couple of weeks and as hard as it is to be away from home, it really feels so right to stay.

So, let’s talk about that a bit because I’m sure some of you out there are puzzled at the fact that I have a husband in Vancouver, and are wondering how I could leave him there and be here for so long.  Or even how he could be supportive of the fact that I want to stay here for so long.

I have told a few people and I have been getting very mixed reactions, which is quite interesting.  The majority of people assume that Paul and I are splitting up, and even after reassuring them that we aren’t, are still decided that we are splitting up.  I am thinking that it is hard for people to understand the way we work as a couple.

I think one of my biggest challenges so far here on my trip is learning to be completely alone.  More than that, it’s being alone and being OK with being alone.  Don’t get me wrong, I am quite independent and I am often doing things on my own a lot of the time.

But the difference here I think is that I am now making decisions on what I want to do without outside influences.

Here’s an example.  Five O’ clock rolls around and I start to think about dinner.  What do I want for dinner?  Normally I would consider what my husband might want for dinner and make something that I know he will like.  And I would do this without thinking.

I’ve had to rethink and retrain myself to decide on things based on what I want, what I like, or what I feel like doing.  This is something totally foreign to me!  What DO I want?  What DO I like to do?  These questions that seem so common, have really stumped me at times!

Last night I experienced something truly amazing.

I decided to go and stay in a cottage nestled within 400 acres of forested land.  It was a very beautiful place, quiet and peaceful.  The people I was staying with mentioned that the fireflies would be out that evening and that I should take a look out the window once dusk came.  I thought that was pretty cool and figured I would take a look later on.

As dusk approached, I saw a single firefly, which was pretty neat.  I’ve only seen them a couple of times before, so it was kind of neat to see them again.  It was pretty cute…how it was blinking along.  I waited about 15 minutes, just watching this lonely firefly dancing around in the air having a good time.

So, it has definitely been a while since I have posted anything on my website!  I have been very busy with readings and everyday life has caught up with me!  I have celebrated a birthday…another year older wiser!

Wow…so guess what???  I am going on an adventure!  I am so excited about this!  Over the past 2 weeks I have been busily planning a trip to Atlantic Canada.  First it started out as maybe a 2 week trip and now I will be there for over 2 months!  Very exciting.  I’m actually still quite stunned that I am doing this, but it just feels so right.

The main reason for me planning this trip was to get some healing work done through from what I am told is a very gifted psychic/healer that lives in New Brunswick.  As I’ve gone along with this idea over the past couple of weeks, I’ve become very aware that he will be helping me with much more than this healing.  His name is Geoffrey McLatchie and I am very much looking forward to meeting him.

It’s been a little while since I’ve written any posts and I thought I would just give a quick update as to what I’ve been up to!

I’ve been doing readings!

I recently posted a entry asking for people to help me with practice for my email readings. The response has been great and I’ve met a lot of really great people who have given me wonderful feedback. Thank you again to everyone that has participated in these readings!

This is a guest post written by Nathan, author of A State of Mind blog, where you can learn psychic abilities for free.

Can you learn psychic abilities?

That’s the most popular question I’m being asked each day. Being an energy worker blogging how to learn psychic abilities means people will be asking if they can learn these skills too. And each time I have to answer that question, even if I’ve discussed the subject many times – but I’m not worried, I have gotten used to it.  So, can you learn psychic abilities?

What is an empath? Do they have mood swings?

This is a person who is quite sensitive to the emotions, feelings or thoughts of people, places, or animals.    Quite often someone will say something to an empath and they will be able to tell whether or not this person is sincere or if they are keeping something back.  They are also able to experience other people’s ailments.

For example, I will quite often actually feel physical pain in my body that doesn’t belong to me like a sore knee or a spot in my back, anxiety or headaches.

So, do they have mood swings?  I think that every person has mood swings, but for an empath the definition could be a bit different.  Speaking from experience, I can say that the “mood swings’ would vary (in intensity and frequency) depending on one’s level of awareness.

What I mean is that now that I am aware of how other people’s emotions or thoughts can affect me, I have learned ways of protecting my energy that help me from taking on other people’s energy.  This has helped a great deal in alleviating the “mood swings”.  I think that before I became more aware of this, my moods would be way more volatile.  My poor husband!  I’m sure at some point he thought I was crazy. 

Is there benefits of being an empath if you have to deal with all these emotions?  Sure!  For one, you are able to pick up on people’s true intentions.  This helps with a lot of  different things like making new friends, finding new jobs, meeting potential boyfriends/girlfriends, etc.  I’ll try and give an example.

It’s like meeting someone for the first time and you either really like them or you really don’t like them.  There is no logical reason for either circumstance, and you don’t know anything about them.  But just from the short conversation you had, you get that feeling, that first impression of the person.  In a sense, this is your empathic ability coming forward to tell you about this other person you have just met.  Depending on how empathic you are, you will be able to pick up more information about this person.

Empaths are generally great listeners as well.  Something that happens to me quite often is that I will have complete strangers start talking to me about quite personal things.  This really happens a lot to me.  I’ll be walking through the mall or standing in line at the grocery store and someone around me will strike up a conversation and end up telling me things they are struggling with at the time.  I in turn will listen and try to give them the advice they are seeking.  I guess you could see this as a hindrance rather than a positive, but I love to help people and it makes me feel good to be able to help a complete stranger.

Being an empath and recognizing that I am an empath has been a interesting journey.  Especially with the mood swings.
