Wichahpi Woyute (Star Feeding)
I recently read that Lakota healers have said: “The wound that’s held grows. The wound that’s released heals.” They have a ritual for working with the pain that one cannot say out loud. This ritual is called “Wichahpi Woyute”, or “Star Feeding”, and they used it for those who lost loved ones or survived violence.
The Anger Before The Sorrow
In 2020, Yale’s Department of Psychiatry confirmed what the volvas knew all along. They discovered that 74% of women with treatment-resisitent depression was driven by suppressed anger. Not sadness, but rage. This fury had been rerouted inward for various reasons, not uncommonly the discomfort or dismissal from others.
Forest Bathing
The concept of forest bathing was introduced in 1982 by naturalist Tomohide Akiyama, then director of Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, to counteract the health impacts of urbanization. By the early 2000s, Japan had invested millions in research, designated 48 therapy trails, and made forest bathing a preventive healthcare practice, even allowing doctors to prescribe it.
What Is An Authentic Witch?
Being a witch isn’t all about magic and spells and crystals and such, just as using magic doesn’t make you a witch. Magic and energy work take many forms and are often called by other names. Many people use magic or spiritual practices without actively trying to be “witches.” Prayer is a form of energy work, for example, we just don’t refer to it as magic.
Past Lives Healing Futures
I have done past life regression in various forms over the years both as a participant and as a facilitator. You can do this via hypnosis, shamanic journeying, having a psychic reading, or other means. Many people find it helpful in breaking patterns or unhealthy hab its, healing wounds they didn’t realize they brought from another lifetime, or even to understand some of the pieces of their current incarnation
Fire Walking
I can say from personal experience, fire walking is empowering and an experience that can be meaningful and profound when undertaken with intent, more so than when it’s done just to say you did it or because it “sounds cool”.
Divination As Guidance Not Guarantee
What does this have to do with the kind of topics I generally write about? A lot. Many people will have tarot readings, rune readings, follow astrology, or utilize another type of psychic reading to get answers and clarity.
Persistent Spirits
Some of the most important pieces of information I shared with him regarding the specific entity that was attacking him were vital to keeping it at bay. I reminded him that he has the body, so he has the power.
Heavy Energy and Moving Forward
Whether or not you believe in astrology or the planets’ ability to influence feelings, behaviors, and emotional health, I think we can all agree the energies as of late have felt very heavy, stressful and difficult for many people.
We Aren’t Meant To Know It All
People often make remarks along the lines of, “If I were psychic, I’d win the lottery”, “My life would be great because I’d know everything and have all the answers”, and other absolutely foolish remarks along those lines. No one wishes more than I do that it worked that way. I would be able to solve a lot of problems for myself and others if that were the case.
Challenges Of Writing
There are times I struggle to get any writing done. I don’t always have a clear topic in mind, I may not have enough to say to hit my 500-word count, or maybe I have far more to say than I can squeeze into a 500-word column.
Rainbow After The Storm
These are all recent examples, but I believe we all can look back in our lives at times when it appeared everything was going wrong and/or we couldn’t see what positive outcomes could possibly arise from the situation. However, I believe for many of those instances, we did have a suitable replacement, if not something better, come along.
Ringing In The Ears and What It May Mean
For psychics, ringing in the ears can indicate that you are clairaudient. This essentially means that you hear things and get messages in that manner. For empaths, it could be due to an energetic cord between you and another person. These can be positive, such as when they speak well of AWAKENINGS by Tina Gilson/Sacred Spirit Wellness ringing In The Ears and What It May Mean you, or negative, such as when they speak poorly of you.
Wetiko
The way to start breaking free from this invading spirit or “virus” is to begin doing your own healing and work on your shadows. Work on your struggles, work on growing as a person, and look for ways to connect to nature and to others. Give back where you can to others and to the land you are taking from as well.
Shadow People
There are those who have reported seeing shadow figures prior to a terrible event. They are seen as an omen or messenger of death or destruction. This could be a natural disaster, family members passing or catastrophic accidents, for example. After the event occurs, the shadow person is not seen again.
Micro-Cycle Method
Using something called the Micro-Cycle Method can help us get through these “stuck” states of being. It focuses on small, intentional nervous system resets throughout the day as opposed to trying to do a major overhaul of your entire life.
Lessons From The Peace Walk
To start with, peace is not something we sit back and wait for to arrive. Peace is a choice. Something we actively decide to do, have, engage with, and participate in. Even small, seemingly insignificant movement is still movement. It is a behavior and task that must occur on an ongoing and regular basis.
The Starting Over Theory
I truly believe the change in how we view things, seeing these as releasing what no longer serves us in a positive way as opposed to being a failure, can make a significant difference in our confidence and how we see ourselves, as well as how we navigate the path we take next.
In The Realm of Spiritual Relationships
Twin flames are not always meant to be together romantically. Their connection is often about spiritual growth and transformation. The concept of twin flames suggests that they are two halves of the same soul, split and placed into separate bodies.
A Blessing in Disguise
Losing wanted connections can also propel you into looking at your shadows and begin healing, if you’re willing to be honest with yourself and do the work. Sometimes you need to change career paths.
