There are 3 basic forces which create your reality: Past, Present, and Future. By the time you realize this, you have a Past, littered with mistakes and regret, and you sometimes find yourself paralyzed to effect any change in your own life. You start to sink into shame, and then you find addiction. Most people stay in the end stage for a very long time, and for most of us, this is depressing as hell. I have been delving into the dark side with my partner for a few months now, as he unhooks himself from some pharmaceutical dependencies. He sometimes wonders aloud, “Why would anyone invent a drug that is so hard to stop taking?”, and I have no answer. It’s honestly pretty bleak sometimes. But, that’s not where we choose to stay, and so I run my energy, get out in nature, breathe, and nourish my body and soul as much as I can possibly squeeze into the 24 hours that is the Present moment. In this way, I create a Future for myself where I have reserves of happy energy, just waiting for me to draw upon. My partner and I have learned to disconnect from each other’s energies so that we don’t drag each other under. This is what energy work is about for me.

I don’t call myself a healer, because I believe everyone has the ability to heal themselves. I believe you are strong, and powerful, and able to effect change in your story of life. So, my mission has become to empower others to heal themselves. My message to you today, is to understand that you are the most powerful being in your Universe. You are the one who can make it all happen for yourself, or not. If you focus all your energy and time, blaming others for what they are “doing” to you, you are in a victim space, and that doesn’t leave room for empowerment. If you can shift out of blaming others, and start truly creating within yourself, there is no need for jealousy, competitiveness, or hatred.

Simply put, your past defines your future, but the present shapes the energy, and THAT is where the power truly lies. So, today, if you find yourself getting angry at someone, think about why. I mean, REALLY look at that for a second. Every Picture is created from conception to age 7: what if you are simply repeating the same patterns every 7 years? Lately, I have been having fun with this concept and it is literally blowing my mind, how a simple shift in perception can radically improve everything about your life.

Be well, fellow warriors! Happy Spring!
