Natural Deodorant

I was recently asked to model my under arm and write about the natural deodorant I use. I posted about this in my “5 Steps to Develop Psychic Awareness” video on YouTube. I think it’s awesome that someone was inspired to put this together in response to the mainstream ads about deodorant with chemicals and metals.

I am a strong believer that if you have yet to have a psychic/spiritual experience it may be your lifestyle keeping you in a certain consciousness. Using all natural, organic beauty products is but one part of what I do to decalcify my pineal gland. I wanted to share my picture and story from my natural deodorant shoot.

“Decalcifying my pineal gland is very important to me. My challenge was to be as comfortable in my own skin as possible while going all-natural. I wanted to still feel girly instead of grungy as I let my inner Earth goddess out. Eliminating metals and chemicals from beauty products drastically improved my overall health and intuition. I switched to using an organic peppermint oil by Aura Cacia. I still smell great and keep cool while I feel naturally clean. My husband likes the smell too.”

I’ve been meeting a lot of new people lately, and in my encounters I am actually shocked how many people vilify other people. Gossip is something I am definitely not a fan of. I find it a waste of time. I find that others find it entertaining. However, most gossip is an exaggerated lie of the truth. Lies can be entertaining to those who don’t live in integrity. Bonding with others over a lie is a hollow friendship, yet I see it everyday.

I feel many people put others on pedestals, and sometimes even themselves. This is also a lie. No matter your accomplishments, popularity, or privileges, everyone on this Earth is just as worthy. Everyone is a divine being in spiritual truth. Once you pass on and shed the physical, you become part of the spiritual. Knowing this, everyone is one in the same in spiritual truth. Once you come to this realization, talking badly of others or idolizing others becomes time wasted. It isn’t necessary when at the end of the day you realize you are only talking about yourself in spiritual truth. We are all one. đź’•

Seeing the World through Angel Eyes

How you see the world says everything about you inside. The law of attraction will bring to you events that mirror your thoughts. Your perception of reality, people, places, things, determines your experiences. We live in a reality of vibrations. Everyone has the potential to be in a range from a highest vibrational to lowest vibrational resonance, energetically.

Consider this. When was the last time you judged someone? Was it because of a behavior? If everyone’s thoughts affect everyone else and all of your experiences, you can not only attract people who mirror you but you can choose which vibrational frequency you attract out of an individual. Do you bring out the worst or best in someone? Is your lower self attracted into seeing someone’s lowest qualities? Or do you truly see the best in everyone, through an unconditional, loving Angel View? While there are no perfect people, I believe it’s possible to recognize the divine spark of light in every single person you meet. To recognize any other part of them as their true identity is an illusion.

My passion is to help people develop their own psychic abilities, re-establishing a personal connection to the divine. If you have not yet had a spiritual experience, it is more than likely your lifestyle keeping you in a certain consciousness. My journey is not the only possible journey, but I have definitely picked up a few things that have tremendously helped my intuition and psychic experiences along the way that I would like to share with you. Please feel free to post any feedback, questions, or tips you have picked up yourself while developing your intuition. Namaste xo.

Recognizing Signs from Heaven Using Numerology

Have you ever casually noticed seeing 11:11? Or 4:44? Angels often give us messages from heaven as answers to our prayers. The key to recognizing these messages is learning different ways in which angels give us signs. One of the most common ways angels communicate with us is through number sequences. Have you been noticing repeating numbers recently? I will be explaining the meaning behind the most common repeating sequences.

Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet

It sounds like such a simple concept: be you. However, I find that many of us do not even realize the masks we wear until we begin to dismantle what we know to be true. What do I mean by dismantling? This happens on the spiritual path as we begin to question everything we have been told and why we are the way we are. The process of questioning reality and what makes you you can actually be a painful process. However, a dark night of the soul can bring you amazing insights into what reality is and who we are as spiritual beings.

Dismantling myself, I found myself at odds with my actions initially. I felt who I am at my core was not being projected into my career path and relationships at the time. Taking a step back, I found myself people pleasing all of my life. Being a people pleaser can be a very dangerous thing. In the end, you can lose yourself entirely. People pleasing will bring you fake friends, a lackluster career, and easily manipulated decision making. This is something that is easily forgivable and remedied by stepping into your power, and making the decision to be assertive in your actions from this moment on. If you don’t stick up for yourself, no one else will.

In our society it is so easy to be caught up in media and relationships that we are practically spoon fed what music we like, what kind of clothes we wear, and what kind of food we eat by conforming to a standard society has set. If you disagree, take a step back and ask yourself, how did I come to this decision? How was the concept introduced into my life? Do I do this because I want to, or because its what is expected of me?

Going against the grain can seem frightening. Sometimes the conflict phobic spiritual person would rather put on a smile to keep everyone else happy and laughing versus questioning what someone else is saying. In sales, we are taught to “mirror” clients, matching their personality, tone, and speaking style. In many cases, I find we mirror each other in public. I find it dishonest and two faced. Furthermore, the minute you decide someone else’s ego projection is more important than being the real you is the minute you’ve given up your personal power. What is so important about fitting in with someone? Society is nothing to be scared of. Society is nothing but a multitude of individuals. Individuality is something to be celebrated, not feared. One individual can positively influence the whole.

I know many people who read my blog and watch my youtube channel, but are scared to publicly like it. They private message me compliments and share similar, closeted stories. I also know people who tell me they believe in telepathy, but would rather keep it a secret, scared of being scorned by the public. There was also a point in my life where I, without a shred of doubt, had a past life experience, and was too scared to publicly admit it because it went against everything I was taught in Catholicism. Here’s a little secret. Not everyone is going to like you no matter what you do. Wouldn’t you rather be loved and accepted for who you are rather than a facade in order to fit in?

Dita Von Teese said it so eloquently when she said, “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there will still be someone who doesn’t like peaches.” And so what? If your goal is to get everyone to like you, you are fighting a battle that can’t be won. Realizing this, I have decided to put my truth out there and my beliefs, regardless of the outcome. Sure, some people don’t like it. My IQ has been insulted (even though I tested gifted). My experiences have been belittled (mostly by people who are too blinded to accept anything outside of their belief system). I’ve also lost some friends. But here is the silver lining. No matter what anyone says, amazing opportunities have presented themselves to me. I’ve gained more friends that can identify and live by the message I bring. I have found that many people have shared my experiences. In essence, I have found my tribe. I encourage you and invite you to step into who you really are 100% of the time. Changes will undoubtedly follow, but there will be improvements. Being who you really are will bring you into the direction of your life’s purpose. Only you can be you. Creator made you for a reason. Choose to fulfill that reason today. You always have the free will choice to ignore your purpose, but finding your purpose is so rewarding. No one else can fulfill this but you. “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” ― Dr. Seuss

How The Dreamer Overcomes Difficulties

Challenges are often a part of life. It’s how we flow around these challenges that determine how well we can cope with our chosen path. Does a river go through a mountain? It flows around the mountain. Sometimes you have to be like a river and flow around the difficult terrain on your path. While writing my book, not a whole lot of money was coming in, and even when impossible things seem to arise, I always found a way around an issue by detaching myself from my circumstances and being open to any opportunity that enabled me to flow around my problems.

Life is far from perfect, and there are no completely perfect people, but I am telling you losing hope is the biggest waste of time. Feeling hopeless is a trap of the ego. Hopelessness arrives when you are attached to a way of thinking about how your life should go. Your expectations will always fall short. It’s time to stop controlling your life, observing what is, and let go of ownership of the outcome. Let the universe do the heavy lifting and just keep doing your best. When you keep picking yourself up and continue to move forward, miraculous results will appear before an open heart.

Synchronicity: Living a Synchronistic Life

Inner-connectedness between all beings is very real. I wasn’t so sure my entire life until synchronistic events made themselves an everyday presence in my life. I found myself after my Dad passed away asking questions about God, spirituality, and pushing the potential of human existence. If you accept things as they are, and never open up to the idea that we know very little as a society about the Divine, you may never find yourself on the journey to spiritual understanding. As soon as I put the intention out to find out more, many meaningful coincidences started entering into my life. What do these coincidences mean? I find that they are signs that I am on the right path. Synchronistic encounters are road marks on the map to our life purpose. Albert Einstein once said that “coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” I truly believe that. Coincidence is God’s way of co-creating miracles with us in our everyday lives. We need to follow those hunches, those opportunities that feel right to us that present themselves in our day-to-day lives. When we follow our inner divine guidance, synchronicity becomes evident continuously. As we follow our vague knowingness into the right direction, God has a way of lining up a synchronistic event in the future by aligning different circumstances throughout the past. When a synchronistic encounter finds you, without a doubt you know that a Divine intelligence brought this moment together for you.

What is synchronicity, and how do we teach those who have not yet had these encounters? Swiss psychologist Carl Jung devoted his life to answering these questions. Jung explains, “in all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” I have found in my own life that painful experiences, and crazy outside circumstances actually turned out to be exactly what I needed on my path. Even though my feeble human mind could not see the happy outcome beyond the chaos, there seems to be a Divine intelligence that lead me to a better destination. As I started realizing that there is an invisible Divine hand in everything, tangible coincidences became very obvious to me. Jung describes this phenomenon so eloquently when he said, “synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.”Telling you about synchronicity is nothing compared to actually experiencing it for yourself.

In my best effort to explain the meaningful coincidences in my life, I have posted a video log to YouTube explaining a few of my own personal experiences with synchronicity. A more detailed account of many events in my life will be released in my upcoming book with the working title “Bitch! A Love Story”.

Feel free to share your own experiences with synchronistic events below! I would love to read them. Namaste

 

The Goddesses of Easter: Ostara vs Ishtar

A few years ago, I had a dramatic restoration of faith in God. During this time of my life, I ended up renting out to a roommate to help with bills. I don’t believe it was an accident that he just so happened to hold a bachelor’s degree from one of the state’s best universities in Comparative Religions. Since he did not personally affiliate with any particular religion, I often got an unbiased perspective of the control of information (and sometimes misinformation) in religions. I found myself asking him many questions on historical references for things I had been discovering through intuition and spiritual truths. Growing up, I had lost interest in traditional holidays I celebrated in my Catholic upbringing, but I found myself on a quest to separate fact from fiction on why the modern world practices and believes what it does. Holiday origins were some of the most surprising findings.

My old roommate was the first person who ever informed me about the calendar as we know it today. He spoke of Constantine who was burdened with the task of unifying the Pagans and the Christians, who had been brutally killing each other over religious disputes at the time of his reign. It was under his rule that birthed the calendar of mainstream religious holidays we know in modern times. Pagan holidays were rewritten to fit the life of Christ. As a leader, it is not difficult to understand why compromising between the two belief systems made the most sense at the time. Unfortunately, what we are left with is an untrue depiction of history. While I am a true believer in Jesus and the miracles he performed, I can confidently say that Easter is not the exact time of the resurrection. Furthermore, Christmas is also historically incorrect in timing of Jesus’ birth.

There is much dispute over the true origins of Easter. I have come to accept two different goddesses (with a small g) who, prior to Constantine, were the two celebrated deities associated with the Spring Equinox in different parts of the world: Ishtar and Ostara. While many people across the country are showing interest in Ishtar due to the similar pronunciation, Ostara undoubtedly has had a lasting impact on Easter.

Ishtar has been worshipped and called upon since ancient Babylonian times. She embodies the very strong, feminine energy of Venus. Ishtar represents the Divine feminine in her aspects such as harvesting, mothering, fertility, healing, and love. It should come to no surprise that she was celebrated during Easter time during the Spring Equinox. While Ishtar’s true animal totems are the owl and the lion, eggs and rabbits have been associated symbolically in Paganism with fertility, which is an aspect of Ishtar.

20140419-211059.jpgOstara (in Old English spelled Ēastre) was a Germanic goddess and diety I had never heard of until I drew her card in Dr. Doreen Virtue’s Goddesses Oracle Card deck. As a clairevoyant, Doreen credits both “East” and “Easter” to being named after Ostara, who is celebrated as the bringer of light. She explains that this was due to “the sun rising in the East, and the increase in sunlight beginning in the Celtic springtime.” Ostara’s true symbols (as pictured) are the rabbit and the egg, which is undoubtedly where the Easter bunny comes from.

While both goddesses were celebrated during Easter, I still do not believe this should deter Christians from celebrating Easter. This battle between Paganism and Christianity has been going on for far too long. Are we really going to carry on our arguments of our ancestors? While I believe in the divine feminine, I also believe Jesus was as real as you and I, and I honor him, his message of love, and the miracles he performed. It really shouldn’t be about when and where we celebrate these amazing beings as much as how we are implementing their teachings in our day-to-day lives.

God Bless This Mess

Had to share a post from my Instagram @julietour:

Sheryl Crow concert August 2008 with my BFF Mike!

I write about this night in great detail in my upcoming book. This night was a few months before my father passed. Sheryl opened up with a song that forever changed my views on consciousness called “God Bless This Mess.”

I was working at my Dad’s insurance office at the time for a company that my Mom had also worked for, and coincidentally was how they were first introduced. My parents names are Robert and Teresa.

Song Lyrics: “Got a job in town selling insurance on the phone with Robert and Teresa and two con men from back home. Everyone I call up doesn’t have the time to chat. Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that. Something has gone missing and it makes me kind of sad. God Bless This Mess.”

Other than my parents names and insurance, the rest of it didn’t make sense till years later. I ended up working for an office within a mile from my Dad’s old office years after he passed. I worked with people from the area where our first house was located. I found myself in a situation where I ended up being in a whistleblower situation with a couple of the guys I was working with. I also developed a texting word track and strategy that agents still use today because people weren’t answering sales calls as much as they used to. The song popped on my iPod one day when I was meditating and asking for guidance about how unhappy I was in that office. It was amazing that lyrics someone wrote years prior lined up with my life perfectly. I felt my Dad was watching over me. This situation not only proved to me that consciousness survives after death, but also that time is anything but linear. I firmly believe that God works through each one of us like he worked through Sheryl Crow to bring me a divine message… All we have to do is be authentic in our self expression.

I have gone through a huge spiritual transformation during the past 6 years. People wonder how I had such a dramatic restoration of faith. It is honestly because dramatic signs like this keep happening to me! And all I had to do was ask the angels for help with an open, loving heart. I am an ordinary girl who has been blessed to have some extraordinary experiences. The spiritual experience is here for everyone.
