I received an email a couple of days ago from a friend that was curious about what happens to suicides when they die. I had tried to share some real information with someone the other day, and they didn't want to hear it, simply because it would shake up their investigation methods and results. Where I come from, shake them up! We need to make sure we are all doing a good job when we investigate.We want to learn, we want valid information. We don't pass on information unless we know it is valid.
My information comes from first hand experience, questioning guides, information from teachers both local and worldwide, from mediums who work ONLY at mediumship (in other words they aren't the check out girl at the local supermarket during the day) , and one very rare instance. That instance is a person who killed themselves (or tried), and was brought back. It can't get much better than that. The other information is from not just asking these sources about suicide, but the other side in general.
The part that lets you know the information is valid, is that all these sources (that are talented, respected, and educated), all say the same thing. There have been little personal experience differences, but the main theme stays the same.
I won't go into great detail, it would be a "days long" blog, but here are the basics.
Suicides do not go to Hell. There is no physical or even energetic place called Hell. Hell is a state of mind and being, not a place or a punishment. There are several levels of what we call "heaven", which again is not a physical place. You can be in lower levels of "Heaven", but there is no "hell".
Suicides DO however have specific things happen that are "hellish". The Universe always offers options, you may not like all the options, but the choice is still there. The choice is not to cross all the way over (we all have that choice), but to stay in that in between place, or cross and re-do the life you just left. Now if you or I died of natural causes, we could go haunt our friends, or stay in the house where we grew up. Suicides however, stay right where they are. They are not given the privileges and license to roam around just like everyone else. It is part of the deal for having left class (the school of life), before they were finished.
The second choice is come back here and do it all over again. No "cocoon" time in what we have called Heaven, although it is an energetic place it is not a physical space up in the clouds. Cocoon time is a healing time/acclimating time we can all choose to have when crossing all the way over (again I am not going to go deeply into all this right now). So , again, no perks, no rest, no playing golf with Albert Einstein, just "get back to school". The life is just as hard, and the lessons are the same.
Many suicides are fearful of Hell, and I have crossed a few over after reassuring them that there is no "burning in Hell" awaiting them, but there is work to do. Some choose to still remain, but in the same place.
They don't get to have the same options and freedom of movement open to all who die from outside causes. Why would they? I mean you don't have to be able to converse with the other side to figure out that there is going to be a price to pay. It isn't literally what we read in the Bible, but figuratively. Each belief system has a similar way of saying that suicides have different and lesser options. Even in the "ghost world". Not crossing all the way over, doesn't get you out of the limits and payment due, for choosing to end your life.
There was a second part to this email and I will touch on it also. The question has been addressed in this blog before. How do you know you are getting valid spirit information? Unless you are a good and experienced psychic, or medium, you can't figure out if a spirit is presenting itself as someone else or not. There are also entities that can present themselves as human spirits which are not. There are also psychics and mediums out there that don't have a clue, who were never trained, apprenticed or honed their craft. It doesn't make them "bad people", but it makes them a little less reliable. Do you want a specialized neurosurgeon of 30 years operating on your brain, or the kid just out of med school? Experienced mediums and psychics know when something is playing games.
There is much to say for personal experience in this field. You see things and learn. There isn't a great handbook, although there are some great books out there, you have to read many, it isn't all in one.
This is one reason why we NEVER use flashlights to communicate with spirits. First of all , flashlights that twist will arc, repeatedly, that is NATURAL PHYSICS. It WILL happen. Period. So there you are asking questions and getting all kinds of flashes that mean absolutely nothing. There are too many valid ways to communicate, so why use a flashlight? The other reason is what I was writing about a couple of sentences ago. When a flashlight is flashing how do you know it is valid information. I know when I die, I am going to go tell ghost hunters I am whatever ghost they are looking for when they use a flashlight, how will they know who I am??? I will pass on all kinds of inaccurate information, I'll teach them not to use a flashlight.
Getting back on topic, suicides are not allowed the luxuries we all are allowed when we die. They can cross all the way over , get a sort of counseling, apologize to the living even. But they have to do it over again the same way, with the same lessons and life. They are not punished in "Heaven", but they don't get to go hang out with live friends at the local bar either. They don't get "feel good things", those are not available to them.
I asked a few experts if there could be exceptions to the rule, could one figure out a way to sneak out of this? They all say they have never heard of such a thing, and their guides tell them "no" (mine say the same thing), if one spirit has figured out a way, I suppose it is possible in a one in a billion situation, but the Universe would quickly know and put an end to that. So they would visit the local bar for about 1 second, and that would be the end to that.
I asked two of my former teachers (and one asked 3 of hers), if a suicide could be at their home if they killed themselves outside the home, the answer was, "unless it was in their garage or immediate vicinity as in on their property, no way".
There is much to learn about the "other side" and some great information out there.
The person who tried to kill themselves and was revived? They had many people, beings, and voices around them shouting that they did not want to die this way , to go back, that it was not the best way, they are not supposed to go now, they aren't finished. They said it was almost impossible to understand all the shouting, but they got the message, especially their grandmothers shouting "NO NO NOT THIS WAY"! They were revived, and that was 18 years ago. Apparently they still had a lot of work to do including being a parent.
When someone tells you "we don't know what happens on the other side", THEY don't know what happens on the other side. Many have been there in energy or in spirit and share with us on return. This is nothing new. There are even books on it dating back decades. We do know, and it is complex, fair, and beautiful. It is also information that IS open and available to us now. One teacher said to remember that no where in the Bible does it say we have to, or automatically go to heaven when we die. That is what is preached, not what is written. That may explain all the ghosts around! I know from experience you don't HAVE to go to heaven, and I know that the souls who are here are NOT "poor lost souls", many feel sorry for them. There is no need to, it is their choice.
I will say this , if you in any way are thinking of suicide, don't do it. Even though you won't "burn in hell" the options aren't good. When live is bad this time around, doing it again , just the same, won't be easier! Staying in spirit at your death place is not going to be fun either. Seek help, and LIVE!

The new year, how's it going?
How is the new year going? It is pretty much going to stay the same through the year, so if you got off to a good start, then a good year, if it got off to a bad start, batten down the hatches. Now I don't mean little things like the annual flu, or it snowed a foot. I mean life events, changes, and general feeling. Your abundance, your attitude and faith in the world.
This year I have seen things shift. Usually it happens quietly in the background and you may even have to look backwards to find it. It is many times subtle. This year won't be subtle. When you mess up, you will know it, and when and how. You will see why things go sideways.
People will have life altering events this year. Some good, some not so good. Grandma used to say that the "chickens come home to roost", and they will this year, more than ever. They already are. Those who are , as I say, "doing the right thing for the right reasons", will see rewards. Those who aren't, or who are doing truly bad things, will see Karma. Those who wish for Karma to visit others, will get it themselves. Never wish and hope and pray for divine retribution on another person, the Universe has it all in hand, when ,where, and how. When you put out that "hate", because that IS what it is, you will get it back in turn. It isn't worth it. Let the Universe, God, or whatever Higest Power you resonate with , handle it.
When you have faith in life and hand over the "major stuff" to the Universe, things get taken care of properly and smoothly. Just because YOU want your ex to suffer, doesn't mean the Universe thinks he or she should. When you wish evil on them, YOU get the lesson!
I have seen so many people living in anger and fear. The changes , whether they realize it or not, are being felt, and making them uncomfortable. They can blame it on a number of things, but the anger, discomfort and fear is NOT coming from without. It is coming from within.
It is sad to see so many live that way, there is no need for it.
You can't immediately change the way things are going, it is "pay the piper" time. However, what you CAN do, is make sure that you are on a good path. Drop the anger and fear, drop the hate. Live positively and lovingly, and things will shift. The Universe is more responsive now. Do good, get good back every time, and quickly, do bad and Karma will be the least of your worries.
Remember that you are a member of a world community. This world is so intertwined , and that is the way it is supposed to be, that there is not a way to live without the rest of the world. We give and take, and like a family, sometimes the balance is out of whack, but when one member fails, the whole family takes the hit. We are supposed to be intertwined, and we will be. We have to learn to stop the hate, the fear, the greediness, and the ME ME ME. It is US US US. Like it or not, and that is the Universe's decision. Charity begins at home, yes, but only BEGINS.
When you find yourself hating, fearing, and angry at the world, the way things are, and your life. Make changes to YOU, it is the only thing that you can change right now, for the better, and have a say in. It is where it all will need to begin. It is the only place it CAN begin.
Remember that old song, "Let there be peace on earth"? It had the lyrics" Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now...." It was a song of the times, and it was because of where we were in time and world events. Yet people miss the real crux of the song. Let it begin with me. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? You can't create peace with angry words, thoughts, and snide comments. It isn't about pointing fingers, it is about YOU being the best you can be right now. It is not about hate, it is about helping others, no matter who, where they live, or what they do.
So, if you want the year to go well, and life to improve, then step up. Make good decisions NOT based on fear, hate, and retribution. It will not only being the right thing to do, but it will bring you peace, abundance and reward. Anger, hate and retribution based responses will not only result in lessons, and negative results, but even your health. Cancer is more prevalent in angry people.
It is well worth it! It benefits you, the world, and those directly around you.
Change is made when YOU change, and YOU take DIRECT action. It is not meant through hate, arguing, sarcasm, and fear. It is not made by name calling, finger pointing and hate.Happiness begins inside of you, not in work changes, government changes, world changes. Please be a part of the positive change in the world, not part of the problem. It will benefit you, me and the rest of the world.
Do the right things for the right reasons, and the answer to the title of this blog will be "Awesome, abundant, happy and healthy!"

Times do change.....
I have an old Mustang, and years ago I said that I would be buried in it. It was never going anywhere, never was I going to watch someone modify it into something ugly, or beat it to death, and possibly themselves in the process. The car club, road rally events, trophies and road racing were all a huge part of my life. I still can say the most fun I have ever had was road racing school at Watkins Glen NY.
My Mustang was pampered, but not to the extreme where I would not drive it for fear of getting it dirty. It was driven, and hard at times, and I had a lot of fun. It was a huge presence in my life.
Now it sits in the garage. From time to time I have thought of selling it, and tried a few times with no luck. One night I asked my guides what I should be doing. I was expecting big answers, you know, the earth shakes, lightning strikes, and there is a bright light and an "aha" moment. It happened, but not LIKE that at all. There was a list of little things, and selling the car was one of them. It has been sitting for years, and it isn't made to sit. Yet the things that came in the list were practical, and a great example of not seeing the forest for the trees. The path changed years ago, and I had not cleared out some old stuff. A friend reminded me that part of the new energy is getting rid of material things that we own just to have them, things we don't truly need. Now that the time is right, I have a line of people wanting to buy the car. The Universe is facilitating things to make it happen.
It is time to get rid of things we don't need. Give the closet a once through and if you haven't worn it lately, give it to Goodwill. Clean out the clutter, no one needs 50 of anything, except maybe dollars.
My old life was over, and this is probably phase III of the new life, yet I had old life things around. Letting go of them opens new doors and makes room for the new. If you asked me about how I would feel if I sold the car 20 years ago, I would say "terrible", now it just seems easy. It is the right thing to do, and certainly the right time. It will go to someone who will do what they will with it. I no longer need control over what happens to it. I just WANT it to be driven, and although we don't always get what we want, I am sure it will.
Now, what can I do with all that garage space? Hmmmmmmm..........

Be an expert...
Take something that you are good at and really enjoy, and make yourself an expert at it. Think of it as an excuse to immerse yourself in one of your favorite things. It is fun to then take it and help others. It doesn't have to be something that is meant to benefit others originally , but it can become that, and usually does.
I have spent years honing skills in things I love. I have even put myself in some uncomfortable or even somewhat dangerous positions to learn more. It always pays off , and it always has the ability to be shared.
The metaphysical, quilting, and psychology are my special areas of knowledge, but then there are others that I am just learning more and more about, like the raptors. That was already an interest, and a place where I had learned much, now I am literally "hand on" and loving it. To be an "expert" you have to have "hands on", and expose yourself to many situations, people, and learning experiences. I have a long way to go to expert status there and may never get there, but the learning process is fun.
Some areas and interests are expensive, some are not. Some you can do more cheaply than others. Some you can jump into to the point of making it a career, and that is a very wonderful thing indeed!!
Become an expert. Read all you can, read DIFFERENT viewpoints, get inside information, and practice any skills needed. Make sure that you do it the right way, so you can share good knowledge, valid, valuable knowledge with others. Don't share that which is just your belief (or at least present it as such), as fact. Make sure you learn all you can.
Remember that with the knowledge comes responsibility. When you learn to share, you have to make sure that you share valid information. Share so others can learn and grow, and do not allow misinformation to be passed on, either through yourself or others.
My metaphysical knowledge has benefited me in many ways, and others as well. My quilting has benefited others not only in me sharing my knowledge through teaching, but sharing quilts with others from friends and family to institutions that see that they go to those who need them. There is always a place to share your skills and knowledge in a helpful , non egotistical way. Learn in order to teach and share, but become an expert first.
Learn, research and grow!

Settle a bet...
I had a reader ask if they could show me a picture to "settle a bet". I said I would try and if it would be OK I could pass it on to someone who could.
It was almost too easy. It wasn't paranormal. It was a blob with a reddish edge, in other words , a finger. The reader won the bet.
When you have lived in a house full of strange sights and noises since you were nine, and have been swimming in the paranormal all your life, you learn what things look like that seem paranormal. They are fingers, camera straps,dust, water, moisture, spider webs, cob webs, bugs, flash reflections, and about a hundred other things. After 40 plus years of this stuff, plus a huge dose of "intuition", I can smell a finger, camera strap and bug a mile away......
When taking pictures or listening to EVPs, make sure your environment is "clean". Mark any interference. Outside photos are hard to put controls around, so take several and check as you go along to help narrow things down. Watch for what people call orbs, they are mostly dust and water vapor of some sort. Remember orbs have their own light (take the picture without a flash camera), they will glow with their own light. Real orbs are very rare indeed. Real orbs usually move VERY quickly, and have a "tail" like a comet. They glow and flash on IR video cameras.
Camera straps and spider webs create great eerie pictures, and fool many people. So do fingers.
Don't try to take a mist or black shadow, and make it a "person", don't clean up EVPs in any way. Don't mess with evidence. When you , or anyone else can look at ,or listen to the evidence and clearly, and quickly see or hear it in the same way, then you usually have something.
Experienced investigators know to hold their breath when taking a picture in a cold environment, otherwise they get a mist. They do it without thinking, it becomes automatic. They know to watch for things that reflect light and heat. They make sure they know where IR lights are, and how often the automatic ice maker makes a noise. They check doors to see if "latched" doors push open. They don't put anything out there that doesn't pass the smell test.
Enthusiasm is the investigator's worst enemy. There are investigators out there who have a ton of "non-evidence" in their files. Don't be one of them! Buy the best you can, and know your equipment. It doesn't have to be the best, we all aren't Bill Gates, but buy the best you can, and know its' positives and negatives. Know how to work with YOUR tools. Also make sure you know your settings on cameras, voice recorders, etc. Know how to use probe thermometers, and that way you will always get quality. You also won't be stumbling in the dark trying to figure it out while you miss great evidence.
Always use the right tool, which means no twist flashlights for spirit communication. Use voice recorder, a ghost box, a Mel-meter, but not a flashlight. Orbs are the flimsiest piece of evidence there is, so toss them out and look for hard evidence, this is because they usually aren't orbs. Make sure you mark all evidence, and keep track of who is where.
Keep Grant Wilson's saying in mind, "When in doubt, toss it out". You may toss a piece of evidence, but when you get that holy grail of a full body apparition, people will believe you , as they know you are a quality investigator. Keep them in a "maybe" file, after all someday we may learn something that can authenticate or disprove that particular piece of evidence.
There is so much real evidence out there, that there is no need to share class B or below EVPS, or pictures that are questionable.
Oh...and keep fingers away from the lens.
Happy hunting!!

Always use the right tool, which means no twist flashlights for spirit communication. Use voice recorder, a ghost box, a Mel-meter, but not a flashlight. Orbs are the flimsiest piece of evidence there is, so toss them out and look for hard evidence, this is because they usually aren't orbs. Make sure you mark all evidence, and keep track of who is where.
Keep Grant Wilson's saying in mind, "When in doubt, toss it out". You may toss a piece of evidence, but when you get that holy grail of a full body apparition, people will believe you , as they know you are a quality investigator. Keep them in a "maybe" file, after all someday we may learn something that can authenticate or disprove that particular piece of evidence.
There is so much real evidence out there, that there is no need to share class B or below EVPS, or pictures that are questionable.
Oh...and keep fingers away from the lens.
Happy hunting!!

Questions on reiki answered
I was asked a few good questions yesterday, some were the same, but they were all on healing and spirituality.
The first question was asked/sent in by a few people and to paraphrase "so reiki masters are supposed to live different lives"?
Yes, they are. You can just take Reiki I , and hopefully it will change your life. Hopefully you will actually use it to heal yourself and others, hands on, but that is just a small part of the whole. When you begin that journey, Reiki I should open your eyes to things about energy, healing, and trust. It is about giving up your ego, and realizing you have no power, the power to heal doesn't come from us, but from Universal, divine energy, and we are just the channel. We have to then trust, have faith, and "let go and let god", in order to help heal others.
When you don't live that, and own that, you can't do reiki. When you truly live that and own that, you don't worry about who voted for what, abortion laws, races, immigration, money, anything. You KNOW that when you do the right thing, the right things will happen to you and around you. You know better than expect to not have lessons, but for the most part your life is very good, AND the days that aren't, you have the faith and attitude to make them good too. You still find things to be thankful for, and have a positive attitude.
I would hope that once you make it through Reiki II and to a Reiki Master all that is a "walk in the park". It is easy, done without thinking, and a constant. Will you have a bad day? Maybe. I haven't had a bad day in a long , long time. I have had people upset me for a short period, but I do what I need to do and move on. I drop people out of my life who are harmful to me in any way. I allow people to drift away who aren't clicking with me anymore, after all that is part of hte Universal plan, and I allow new people in. It all works out for the best. I make and keep healthy boundaries with people and other aspects of life.
The other question asked by a few was , again paraphrasing "are there a lot of people out there who have taken reiki and don't have a clue about life". The answer to that is unfortunately yes also. I was in a restaurant the other day and there was a loud, obnoxious woman behind me. She was running staff all over, including going back into the garbage to get food for her dog. She most likely had a few too many "bloody marys" that she complained were spicy (they are supposed to be spicy), and on and on. I had tuned her out, and then all of a sudden I hear her marveling that she did reiki on her dog and how well it worked. She didn't know reiki worked on dogs. Really? Who was your reiki teacher? Either they didn't have a clue, or you weren't paying attention. I thought , oh please God, no more flaky reiki people!!
So, yes, they are out there and they are people who take the classes because they think they will be interesting, or fun, or will give them some status, or they will make new friends....but they never get to the essence of reiki, to help all living things. The same thing happens with people who become online ministers. It gives them a "title" and something to do. It took me 6 months of classes, and that was fast (I had to do quizzes, tests, and more and got those done right away). Some people take longer. Some people buy a certificate on line. Real ministers will have to fill out reports and be registered as ministers legally. They will have cards, and have to be up to date on dues, and paperwork.
I do want to digress a little and mention something about reiki. I do call it a "healing" modality, and it is,however some people think that means it will make people better no matter what, like the faith healers claim to do. It does not always do that and there is a good reason, it is a process that is always for the person's highest good. It is up to God, the Universe, the Highest Power, to decide what that healing will be. No human has the ability to understand why that person has that affliction and if anything needs to be done, or should be done. The Universe does.
Sometimes what is for our highest good is not what we personally want.
Reiki is excellent for helping people pass over peacefully. It won't necessarily heal them in any way if they have a terminal disease, but it will help them to relax, accept, and be in a peaceful and ready state for their passing. Reiki is not a panacea for what we want, but for what we need.
So yes, Reiki masters do have to live life differently, but they will automatically do that if they "get it". It won't be something they need to think about, or at least hopefully not, but people have slipped to that point. The same goes with practices from the Far East, like tai chi. Tai chi is about the moment, moving energy around now to help, heal, relax. It is about trusting Universal energy and the manipulation of it, to bring about better health. It works wonders. Most Eastern modalities are about living in the now. When you are practicing them, you don't worry about the future, or politics, or what your ex is doing, you live in the NOW. It is a great place to live, and takes practice.
No one should be teaching tai chi, reiki or any spiritual modality who is generally upset, angry, frustrated with life or the world. No one should be teaching any spiritual endeavor that does not "get it". Not everyone should be taught it either, like the lady in the restaurant (or maybe it was her teacher's fault). Reiki masters can drink, and laugh, and cut up, but all the while they are in a place that is positive, loving, helping and teaching.
We think because someone has taken a class or has a title like "reki master" it makes them special. It should in a way, but unfortunately since anyone can take classes in anything, it doesn't.
Reiki will work , always, no matter who is giving it. But would you rather get your medicine form an up to date source with a clean glass of water, or outdated, low quality medicine from a dirty cup with muddy water.....you get the picture.

Reiki Masters and other spiritual teachers.
A few years back, when I was working to become a reiki master, I told my reiki master teacher that I would not teach or certify just anyone who came to me to be a reiki master. They would have to "apply". Certainly they could go elsewhere, and that was fine with me. I did not want to be responsible for putting a reiki master out there that was going to do more harm than good, give reiki a bad name, or act unlike a reiki master and then tell people I was their teacher.
She said she struggled with that. We needed healers, and she was hoping people who were sent to her had their hearts and minds in the right place that the training would inspire them. We had a discussion this weekend because I asked her, "Am I crazy?"
You see, I see people who are supposed to be healers, teachers, reiki masters and so called "spiritual" people, doing, and saying, the most hateful, ridiculous and UNspiritual things.
The reiki prayer tells us to do things "just for today". It reminds us we are not perfect, but human, yet if we take things one day at a time and try our best, we will accomplish much. We won't be Mother Teresa most likely, and no one expects us to, but we will do amazing things to help and heal.We will improve our lives and the lives of others.
However, what I DO see is people who claim to be spiritual, to be healers, and to promote knowledge , love and peace for ALL, ACTUALLYspreading hate, negativity, fear and prejudice. How did that happen? Those who paid attention in their training know to never do those things, yet I see some doing it every day.
Reiki masters, and other healers, teachers and spiritual guides NEVER spread fear, hate, negativity, or prejudice. They are respectful and positive at all times, to all people, and never lead a fear based life. They learn , and learn each day to "let go and let God (or whatever word resonates with you). They teach, they even push, but they never , ever use fear, violence, hate, or misinformation, and then give to the local food bank thinking they are covered. You can't work the Universe tit for tat, it doesn't work that way.
Reiki practitioners, and other healing modalities practitioners, "hate" words should never leave your lips, disrespect to ANYONE should never leave your lips.Words that make people fear or feel badly should never leave your lips. Misinformation (sometimes you may actually be fooled), that you can easily check should never leave your lips. You can disagree, but when you lower yourself to fear mongering, hate, and name calling, you are NOT a reiki master, not a healer, not a teacher and certainly NOT a spiritual person.
Reiki masters learn to let go, they learn to trust that the Universe has it all under control. They learn to not use nasty words to upset, frighten, or hurt.They let things go, and don't strive every day to make the same point that benefits them in some way. They know we are a global community, and we all cannot survive without each other. They promote love, peace, positive energy and lack of fear. They forgive, and know that forgiving does NOT mean you have to then become the person's best friend, that you can let people go. It certainly doesn't mean throwing out zingers to sting people and make a point. It certainly doesn't mean be sarcastic or smart a$$.
Right now the Universe is still driving wedges between people, it is still taking us away from people who don't get it, who forgot it, or refuse to use it. The wedges are going deeper, and are making their way into relationships where they were not before.
I have seen those wedges, and so has the reiki master that taught me. We have seen it in our lives and the lives of others. I remember a few months back someone saying something to me about a person I left behind a long time ago, a person that wasn't walking the talk. I had pretty much forgotten they existed and their name had not crossed my lips in years. The words said to me were pretty much, I know you don't like so and so , but.....Actually I had forgotten all about "so and so". I don't like or dislike them, they are sort of like the old address book in my drawer. It isn't something I consult anymore, I know it is still there, and I have no feelings about it at all. I guess it is hard for people to understand that some of us can move on so well that we almost forget a person, situation, or problem existed.
Reiki Masters, healers, and teachers need to start walking their talk, and not half way. It isn't OK to be a misinforming, fear mongering, hateful person all day and do a reiki healing at night and think you are being spiritual and kind. You aren't. You are trying to cover the stuff you KNOW is not right, it isn't good enough.
You are NOT smarter than the Universe, and it doesn't need you trying to control life. It doesn't need you taking the reins. Sometimes the Universe uses people to help change the world, but not by scaring people, calling names, making snide comments, spreading fear and hate. When you do that you are NOT even CLOSE to doing the work of the Universe, God, or Good in ANY WAY , SHAPE or FORM! The road to good things is not paved in negativity, forcing others to agree, fear, and hate. Not one single brick!
I am hoping that all the people out there that were trained in aspects that teach us to live in the now and to let go , like tai chi, yoga, reiki, meditation, and others, stop with hate, fear, and prejudice. Start walking the talk of those modalities.
Stop using unkind words that are used only because their harshness is meant to get a reaction. Stop spreading hate, fear, and misinformation. STOP. Respect others around you, live peacefully in the now and stop spreading negativity. You are the ones who were trained to lead by example, and I must say the example I am seeing from some is pretty bad.
You aren't going to be perfect, as it is "just for today", but that doesn't mean, you get to screw up for months at a time. "Just for today" is not a "Get out of jail free" card. Think about what those modalities are and what the inherent basic tenets of them are. Are you living them daily? If not, stop in your tracks and get back to what you knew was the right thing, and walk your talk again, if you can't manage that, then say "I will no longer call myself a _______", and move on from it.
Do it the way the Universe intended , and with these modalities they come with a lifestyle change, not just a mantle you place on in a healing session or class and take off later, or don't do it all.
My old reiki master clearly sees my point about not teaching everyone. My reiki master understands. Hopefully some others will do a gut check and make some changes.
