As a new
feature, I would be honored to answer questions about Spirit-related, and
spirit-related, issues. Just send your question to: energy2matterhealing@gmail.com. (I will focus on
questions that can serve many people, so be as “general” as you can.)

Question:
“I know I need to make a quiet, calm space
within my mind to help me deal with all this stress that’s always getting to me.
But I don’t even know how to do that. Can you let me know how I’m to do that?”
Answer:
This is
such a vital “genesis” point for all spiritual work, that I thought I would
provide an answer here as well as in the Spirit “Messages” page.
Read
through these steps first; get a sense of how you will go about following each
step in order to create your inner “sacred space” – and then do create this
essential place within:
- Select a time and a place where you can focus all of your attention, and intention, on creating this space. (That is, your bedroom, a reading nook, a warm bath.)
- Leave
all of the electronics outside of this space. (This is always a best practice.
You need the time and space to be free of distractions, pulls and tugs, and
endless chatter!)
- Get
comfortable. (Loose clothing; perfect room temperature; safe and cozy
surroundings)
- Close
your eyes and take a few deep breaths – breathe from the belly, not the
shoulders or chest; feel the life energy flowing through your body from head to
toe, and then let it go. (Take in healing, life-affirming energy with every
“in” breath; release anything everything that no longer serves you (whatever
that may be, don’t think about it – just trust!)
- Set
the intention to bring to “mind” (the center of all creation) a place that
makes you feel safe, happy, comfortable (be it a favorite beach, a mountain
meadow with a stream, a forest path near a lake, a mountaintop....)
- GO
there; using every sense you have (sights, sounds, tastes, smells, textures)
and draw upon the depths of your spiritual creativity. Knowing, and affirming,
that this is your “sacred and safe” place; that only love and light can dwell
here with you:
o
Build
a cabin (crafting walls, floors, rooms, nooks) and decorate it with flair and fun (from blankets on the bed to curtains on the windows to a rug in front of a
fireplace);
o
Bring
in a lake (with a wooden dock that creaks as you run down it and dive into the
perfect, soothing, water); a stream (with an area of large, smooth boulders you
can rest upon to soak in the warm sunshine on your face and shoulders); the
ocean (with warm dunes that you can rest upon; where you can walk and feel the
gentle waves wash over your feet and hear the song of the gulls and feel the
tease of the breeze....)
o
Add
a swingset (yes, let your feet touch the sky and remember what it’s like to be
as innocent as the child who still dwells within your heart); add a piano
(where you can play and create music); a trampoline (to jump and flip and play
on); basically, bring in, build, create and craft as many (or as simply few)
details as you desire!
- Own
this space. Know that you can come here at any time; to ponder problems with
the intention of receiving answers; to just rest and relax; to heal the space
within the space of your atoms; to swim and hike and search for seashells – to see,
sense, hear, feel, and connect with the source of healing and light and Spirit.
Blessings!

Question:
What a
gift – not only that you are connecting with Raven spirit, but that you are
“awake” enough to recognize that you are being gifted with an indomitable
companion and spirit ally.
There is
no single answer to what insight, “power,” strength, and essence Raven is gifting
to you. Yes, you can go to a book (or look online) to see what others tell you
Raven means. But, just as with dreams (a “staircase going up” to one person
could be a very intimidating message due to a childhood trauma; whereas a
‘staircase going up” to another person could mean joy and a higher potential),
Spirit Animals come to you with their own unique message and essence for you –
at this time, and in this place. It would be good to “journey” (meditate, pray)
and connect with Raven and ask them directly what their message/essence is for
you. Listen with your heart and your soul. You will hear, and you will
understand; you will know.
Blessings!

Question: “I can get really angry sometimes, since I was a kid. When I get that angry, I think that Spirit will stop caring about me and I won’t be in alignment (as you’ve said to me) with Spirit. Is that true?”
Answer:_____________________________________________
Question: “I can get really angry sometimes, since I was a kid. When I get that angry, I think that Spirit will stop caring about me and I won’t be in alignment (as you’ve said to me) with Spirit. Is that true?”
We are
here as, and to be, human beings. We are here to touch, to feel, to sing, to
dance, to cry, and to stomp around and get really, really angry sometimes.
There are spirits waiting in line just for the chance to be human (or to be
human again); spirits who would give all just to walk the walk and ride the
ride.
Unless
your anger results in harm to yourself or others, feel what you feel.
Literally, go with the flow of what it is to be in flesh. There is no honor,
and no truth, in denying or burying your feelings. To be fully alive (and to
have fully lived) we must dive into every moment of life’s ups and downs.
As for
Spirit not caring about you because you are angry (because you are being fully
human), oh my goodness – that is never the case. Spirit knows who we are, and
why we do what we do, far more intimately than we can imagine. And when we ride
through what we feel, when we feel it in truth, Spirit rides with us – and
delights in us. Again, as long as your anger results in NO HARM TO YOURSELF OR
OTHERS, allow yourself to fully engage in your humanity – while you can; while
you are in flesh.
Ride the
ride!
Blessings!
