Not All Vampires Sparkle…

September 5, 2012

I know Halloween isn’t until next month but I felt the need to talk about Vampires. I’m not talking about the broody, sparkly vampires of Twilight, but about those vampires that appear in our lives everyday. Those Energy Vampires show up in our lives not to drain us of our blood but of our energy.

Energy Vampires come in all shapes and sizes, but they have one thing in common. They use their stories to take energy from us. Have you been around someone who has drama in their lives constantly? Even a broken fingernail is a reason to plunge them into negativity. There are also those Energy Vampires who are very passive aggressive. They still have an undercurrent of negativity in their lives. Often for them it is the “poor pitiful me”.

You might ask if they are aware that they are Energy Vampires. I can honestly say from my experience that the majority are unaware. Most people are really unaware of their energy or where it is flowing and what it is doing. I think they just recognize that they feel better after talking or engaging with people. Of course, those who they have engaged with feel drained.

We will always come in contact with Energy Vampires. Although a necklace of garlic might keep people away, a true Energy Vampire will still find a way into your energy. How do you handle an Energy Vampire without seeming uncaring. One thing is please do not feed into the Energy Vampires story. If they say their world is coming to an end then simply reply that you are sorry. Don’t add more fuel to the story by asking them to explain more. Change the subject to something more positive. If they won’t let up then you will want to set a boundary. Let them lovingly know that you want to help them focus more on the positive so that you both feel better. Sometimes they may try to pull you into situations that are not yours to deal with. In that case you may want to tell them that you don’t feel comfortable with that and then change the subject or remove yourself. It can all be done lovingly.

Energy Vampires can literally have you feeling anger, frustration, depression, and even physically drained. And it’s not even your issues! We are all at risk of Energy Vampires and we are at risk of being Energy Vampires ourselves. So let’s check how we are interacting with others. Are we draining the energy of those around us or are we encouraging and inspiring those around us? Please note that it is OK to vent and share your positive and your negative stories with those who love you but be aware of how much energy you give to those stories and try to quickly change your perspective about the story. Don’t continually tell the story and not do anything to try and change it to a more positive tale.

Take care of yourself and take care that you don’t become an Energy Vampire yourself!

The Oldest and Strongest Emotion of Mankind…

September 3, 2012

The Oldest and Strongest Emotion of Mankind…

03 Sep 2012 11:40 PM | Anonymous

H.P. Lovecraft said, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear”. I truly believe that it is the one emotion that keeps us from achieving our true potential as spiritual and physical beings. It is the emotion that talks us out of experiencing and learning the things in this existence that we came here to do.

Let’s look at what we can do to break those chains of fear that hold us back. I think first we need to become aware of what are fears are? Name them! Once they are named then they can be dealt with appropriately. It really does take some of the power away from the fear. Then let’s look back at where those fears developed and why. Was it from a childhood trauma? Maybe, it was even an experience we had as an adult. When do those fears show up in your life? Are there certain people or situations that trigger it? Search the origin out. After you have named the fear, and found it’s origin then begin to take steps to change. Think of positive steps to break those fears. They don’t have to be huge steps, just small steps will do to start with.

It takes great courage and strength to move pass those fears of a lifetime but we all can do it if we choose to. Stop yourself when you find yourself using negative stories about yourself or others. Make sure you have positive things to focus on like quotes, books, movies, music, etc. Become mindful in your everyday life. Staying in the present makes us stronger! When we think about the past we may have feeling of regret. If we think about the future we may find ourselves becoming anxious. If we are mindful of the present moment then we can feel gratitude, joy, and love.

There is so much fear in the world right now. Why not be a part of the transformation? We can all do our part of transforming the energy on the planet one person at a time.

What does Awakening look like? An excerpt from “Way of the Tao” by Dennis Waller

August 12, 2012

The legendary environmentalist Aldo Leopold had an extraordinary career. He was instrumental in shaping and influencing the modern environmental movement. His ethics of nature and wildlife preservation has had a deep and profound impact on the environmental movement with his bio-centric and holistic ethics regarding land and nature. Of equal importance he founded the science of wildlife management. He stressed the importance of biodiversity and ecology in order to preserve and ensure a harmonic balance between wildlife and the land. Even though it has been over sixty years since his death, Leopold remains relevant today inspiring projects and people by bringing about an awareness and connection to the land.

However, Aldo Leopold wasn’t always the stalwart crusader for the environment. His awakening and enlightenment to the Tao came to him in a moment of clarity. In an instant, his eyes became opened and his soul reborn. Following is an excerpt from his book, “A Sand County Almanac,” which was published shortly after his death in 1949. It has sold over two million copies which is phenomenal in its own right. In this passage, you’ll see the transformation of an egotistical outdoorsman into an enlighten guardian of nature.

Thinking like a mountain- “A deep and chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night. It is an outburst of wild defiant sorrow, and of the contempt for all the adversities of the world.

Every living thing and perhaps many a dead one as well pays heed to that call. To the deer it is a reminder of the way of all flesh, to a pine a forecast of midnight scuffles and of blood upon the snow, to a coyote a promise of gleanings to come, to the cowman a threat of red ink at the bank, to the hunter a challenge of fang against bullet. Yet behind these obvious and immediate hopes and fears there lies a deeper meaning, known only to the mountain itself. Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of the wolf.

Those unable to decipher the hidden meaning know nevertheless that it is there, for it is felt in all wolf country, distinguishes that country from all other land. It tingles in the spine of all who hear wolves by night. Or who scan their tracks by day. Even without sight or sound of wolf, it is implicit in a hundred small events: the midnight whinny of a pack horse, the rattle of rolling rocks, the bound of a fleeing deer, the way shadows lie under the spruces. Only the ineducable tyro can fail to sense the presence or absence of wolves, or the fact that mountains have a secret opinion about them.

My own conviction on this score dates from the day I saw a wolf die. We were eating lunch on a high rimrock, at the foot of which a turbulent river elbowed its way. We saw what we thought was a doe fording the torrent, her breast awash in white water. When she climbed the bank toward us and shook out her tail, we realized our error: it was a wolf. A half dozen others, evidently grown pups, sprang from the willows and all joined in a welcoming melee of wagging tails and playful maulings. It was literally a pile of wolves writhed and tumbled in the center of an open flat at the foot of our rimrock.

In those days we never heard of passing up a chance to kill a wolf. In a second we were pumping lead into the pack, but with more excitement than accuracy; how to aim a steep downhill shot is always confusing. When our rifles were empty, the old wolf was down, and a pup was dragging a leg into impassable slide-rocks.

We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes- something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves meant hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.”

The Hsin Hsin Ming by Dennis Waller

August 12, 2012

This book provides an intuitive insight into the heart of Zen through a translation of Seng-Ts’an’s poem, Hsin Hsin Ming. Reading through the pages you will become familiar with the basic principles of Zen with an interesting collection of perspectives from Quantum Physics to more traditional views of Taoism. These different thoughts are brought together to serve the reader a rewarding experience. Hsin Hsin Ming by Seng-Ts’an is the Zen Poem that is often referred to as the poem of nothing. While very short, it is the fusion of Lao Tzu’s Taoism and Buddha’s Buddhism into what is known as Zen. It is like a waterfall that you listen to. It says nothing but speaks the unknown to those who can hear it. Become like a temple to hear the what isn’t being said. This is to know the meaning of this poem. The central message of the Hsin Hsin Ming is to point directly to the mind by giving up judgments and opinions so you can see the Oneness and the Nothingness of what reality really is. The poem professes the need to live life with equanimity, to practice living in a state of non-duality while in this dualistic world. It is a guide to the path of Enlightenment. It isn’t about trying to attain anything, rather it is about losing false views and perceptions. To remove all that the ego so desires to cling to. The path to enlightenment is the realization that there is nothing to find, nowhere to go, nothing to achieve. There is no need to search for God for God has been within you always. God, itself is your true self, your true being. It is nothing more than waking up from the dream.

Inner Dialog

August 9, 2012

Louise Hay wrote,”There is a parent inside each of us, as well as a child. And most of the time, the parent scolds the child almost nonstop! If we listen to our inner dialogue, we can hear the scolding. We can hear the parent tell the child what it is doing wrong or how it is not good enough. We need to allow our parent to become more nurturing to our child.”

We all have that little child within us who longs for recognition and acceptance. Sometimes our inner child speaks up quite strongly by feelings of low self-esteem, anger, negative self talk, among many others.

One of the most important statements by Louise Hay is “IF we listen to our inner dialogue…” IF we are willing to be honest with ourselves we will recognize what kind of parent we are to our inner child. It is so easy to find ourselves in all that negative talk. We have been speaking it so long unconsciously. Now it is time for us to become more mindful and conscious of our relationship with our inner child if we wish to heal. Healing and nurturing our inner child will allow us to heal on all levels. We can heal physical habits and ailments, mental stress, and find our way to our spiritual truth when we consciously help our inner child heal.

Let’s all make a conscious effort to be better parent’s to our inner child. Let’s make a safe place for that child to exist and grow.
