Walks With Thunder

The life I lead can be magical to some. While I do some mundane things, answering email, interpreting dreams for apprentices, it can also be very enchanted. Yes you could say I am enchanted by my life. Why is that you may wonder, me too! In the process of responding to dream walking emails I saw to my left a sparkle of gold and silver. They bobbed around in the air, like they were dancing with each other. As they moved closer I documented the movement by typing it into my email. ”While I write this there are fairy lights around my fingers and on my lap top screen, gotta love that. They are golden white tiny orbs that sparkle. Just a bit of magic before I go to bed. “ As I watched this dance, they came closer to my keyboard, hopped on it and danced across my fingers and off the right side of my laptop. About three weeks later while walking my Dissy Dog in the back yard I saw what looked like a white moth, or was it a large butterfly… I walked closer to investigate. Following this wedding dress white winged and slightly glowing bug was fun. I caught up to it in the garden by the radishes when it suddenly winked out of sight as I watched from 2 feet away. Fairies, have such a strange sense of humor. So what makes my life different than yours, hmm maybe its just what I cal spiritual housekeeping. Even now as I write this article the fairies are here in front of the screen watching me. Here are some of the things I do to keep my environment spiritually happy.
Everyone now and then needs to be grounded, folks that channel spiritual energy, those who receive it, and those of us that live in it every day. I have found many ways to do this and wanted to share some of my favorites.
My pal Terri C told me this one, I have to laugh as she likes to use mud puddles and bare feet. The process is easy. Find or make a mud puddle. Take off your shoes and put your feet in the mud. Wiggle your toes and see the energy from the earth traveling up from the ground into your body and out the top of your head. I think that’s funny as we have so much rain in Washing ton State, usually its cold rain too. Putting my feet in to a cold mud puddle, not my first choice. Summer time I am that could be fun, we usually get 165 days of rain here so lots of opportunity for grounding. My way is just to take off your shoes and feel the ground/floor beneath your feet. Much the same as Terri C’s only with out the water and mud.
Still others like to envision themselves standing on the earth. Seeing the earth energy flowing through them, shoes on, to be grounded. That’s nice too. Then again there is the reverse of that with Energy from the sky coming down through you into your feet and then into the ground. What ever works for your personal symbology is good.
I also like to ask for what I want. I call all the nations that love me and ask them to ground my energy and clear my home of negative energy in a good, fast middle world way. I thank the nations that love me. Easy, love that!
Clearing Negative Energy.
One of the few traditional things I do is to smudge. I like to use white Sage for this. You can use a bowl to catch the embers of the smoldering sage. Ancient Native Americans used an abalone shell for this, they were traded all across the Americas. Fan the smoke with your hand into the cupboards, under the sink, into drawers, closets, the freezer, oven, don’t forget the corners. I know some folks use a feather fan but I like my hands as no birds had to give up their wings. Not everyone gets along with smoke so you can also make a tea from the white sage leaves. Boil water, put three for four sage leaves in the water, steep till you get a light green tea. Let this cool. Put the tea into a plant mister and mist the areas you would have fanned the smoke into. Works the same way as the smudge. I also like to have some Kosher Salt on hand to sprinkle outside my home. Kosher Salt is prepared in a sacred way to the Jewish people, its not supposed to be blessed, though I believe it is, as the Rabbi blesses the food in the warehouse and the salt is in there when they do that. Remember your will and intent when you do this, your will is set to clear negative energy, your intent is a clean spiritual environment. What if the salt gets wet? Good then it dissolves in the water and makes the ground around your house saturated with blessed salt, even better!
