Hypnotherapy
I took a free online hypnotherapy course as research for the masters thesis I am working on. it was amazing. a little intense, I had 28 days to complete 7 lessons which involved watching 2 hours of video for each lesson. adding that to my regularly scheduled activities was a bit tricky. I loved it though, which absolutely made it easier to do. remember in grade 8 when we were taught about advertising and how it affects our subconscious to encourage buying the products? I loved that class. obviously, since I am a long way from being thirteen and still clearly remember. hee hee. learning hypnotherapy is learning how the mind works. how information is taken in, sorted and then processed. completely intrigues me. taking the basic class also helped me understand how my gift of connecting to energies works. very cool!!!
I have signed up for the advanced course. wahoo! for payment plans. this one is far from free. I love what I am learning. so intriguing. one of the most important things I have learned is the importance of sleep for the mind to process and let go of information. I know this is going to become one of my focuses. I adore sleeping, I adore dreaming, and I have always known in my soul the importance of both. to be able to help others get a better night sleep and teach them dream therapy, so they can interpret their own dreams, excites me!
past life regressions are also on the agenda. very, very cool. if you have had a session with me you know that I am completely fascinated by that too. right now clients will shape shift, into other personalities to give me a glimpse of their past lives. I will be able to regress clients so they can observe their own past lives. I am very excited by this too.
for all those of you that are a little freaked out by being hypnotized, it is completely like a day dream. this type of hypnotherapy is different than the stage hypnosis, although I may learn that too. hee hee. the hypnotizing that I am interested in is to facilitate healing. having experienced first hand the wonderful effects of hypnotherapy I am very excited to be able to offer these services soon!!!
we have all experiences hypnosis, while driving, at the movies, even reading a book where you get so involved in the story that you tune out everything else. wouldn’t it be wonderful to use that to release some blocks in your energy and release some of the energies that are weighing you down? wahoo!! I will keep you posted. sleep and dream therapy will be first on my list of offerings for adults and children.
as the Goddess card today spoke of Aeracura: “so have patience with yourself and the process, and do not give up. In many ways, you are like a flower bud who is ripe and ready to open and grow. Don’t try to rush this process, as it’s part of your beautiful path. Enjoy learning new knowledge and skills. Take your time to gather new ideas. ”
I am so very excited by all the possibilities. have a wonderful day. hugs. Shannon
non witch balls. :)
Witch Wizardess Balls
I love the Witch balls that I stock in my store. They are pretty, and have an energy that is unbelievable. Everyone who gets one absolutely loves them. The legend is awfully cool too. for those of you that do not know it, these hand blown glass balls were created in the 1700′s as a protection from witches. they were hung in windows to protect against evil and negativity. this was the time of the witch hunts~a campaign against people with unpopular views. the juicy part of the legend is that witches hung them in their windows as a sign that they were not witches. funny huh?
As I ponder the word witch, according to the dictionary it means female who practices magic; ugly wicked woman; fascinating woman. Really? according to this same dictionary a wizard is: magician; person with outstanding skill in a particular field. WTF I mean interesting!
so a woman practising magic is bad, yet a man practising magic is good. well that pretty much sucks a lot doesn’t it!! Especially when those that were hunted and burned, drowned or hung, were healers. they were helping people. because seriously anyone who is trying their hand at the so called black stuff is sure not going to let anyone know about it.
I also do not buy into the evil witch myth. in any occupation you have people with bad intentions. magic is energy. that is it. we all use it, we all do it, some of us are more aware than others of it. nothing scary or bad about that is there? goes back to how males in power were freaked out about women so basically tried to use fear to control them. think of the times you have called someone a witch, or been called one yourself, it was when you were doing something or behaving in a way that someone did not like. was it really any of their business? you were being you and got a negative reaction. lets turn that around and say you were being you therefore being a witch and doing things from your authentic self, no matter what others think/say/ or do is a good great thing to do. wahoo!! lets celebrate being Witches and change the negative connotation. or maybe lets use the word Wizardess since it has a positive energy to it. that sounds fun. Wizardess: magician, a woman who has outstanding skills in all fields; a woman who knows how to use her power and is making the world a better place to be. I love it!! I am now selling Wizardess balls in my store.

Happy Love Day!
With love day approaching there is a lot of swirly love energies floating around. they do feel warm and fuzzy. hope you all catch some.
I was tidying up my house for imminent arrival of company. my energy was not high, although I was excited for the visitors, the cleaning the house part is not my favourite. so, in an effort to speed up my process and lessen the load, I found myself hiding/stashing things in rooms I could close the doors on, drawers that will stay shut etc… something I do tend to do often when cleaning on a time limit. although is there any other way to clean house?
as I was stashing I started to daydream, I mean ponder on the pattern of what I was doing, and how normal it felt. hiding our physical clutter stuff is very much like hiding our emotional clutter. we are taught and it is accepted to hide the stuff we are not comfortable letting other see. why? is it really so bad for people to come over and see the very “lived in” look of your house? we do tend to look upon it as a reflection of ourselves. what about the “lived in ” look of our emotional selves. what if we let everyone see the clutter we have and wave it proudly as a sign that we are human and imperfect and proud of ourselves for being exactly who we are. hmmm….. does letting people see you as who you are with all the baggage, clutter, and imperfections that added together actually make you the perfect you, feel scary? as Valentines Day approaches what if we change a pattern of hiding to a pattern of loving ourselves. it is after all LOVE day.
as I was hiding my clutter in drawers I did realize that by doing so I was simply putting off dealing with it to another time. same as emotional clutter when we choose to ignore or deny what we are feeling. It is a bit overwhelming to think about letting ourselves be seen totally, which is why we get to do it in baby steps. what if we do not hide away that clutter, what if we chose to deal with it instead, and then release it to never drag our energy down again. 
I am also thinking that hiring someone to come clean my house is healthy as well as supporting the economy. isn’t it similar to hiring someone like me to help you clear your emotional clutter? wahoo!!! sounds like a fabulous reason to me to find a house cleaner. Happy Valentines Day everyone.
hugs to all

P.S. I am writing this blog instead of finishing my tidying job. writing is so much more fun! procrastination? absolutely!!
Cowgirl is an Attitude
“Cowgirl is an attitude, really. A pioneer spirit, a special Feminine brand of courage. The cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands. They speak up. They defend the things they hold dear. A cowgirl might be a rancher, or a barrel racer, or a bull rider, or an actress. But she’s just as likely to be a checker at the local grocery store, a waitress, a full-time mother, a banker, an attorney, or a psychic.”

energies, and letting go
As I watched my big (2000lb) black Angus Bull stomp around in the farmyard right beside my house, I wondered what his matter was. I also had concerns about the sturdiness of the pretty white board fence. I asked him, well because I can, and he said he was irritated with things right now. the cows are all busy with their baby calves and are all pregnant. the other bulls just want to fight which does pass the time but he gets beat up way too much. I did chuckle. then I pondered on my own life, and there have been extra irritations lately. I could try stomping around and hollering loudly like the bull, hmmm might be fun. I have wondered lately why I spend so much time trying to figure out why other people irritate me. In healing we learn to look for what about it is triggering us, and to look for the way to heal ourselves. if the same type of situation keeps happening, could it be that we are to learn to let go and not engage in their energies any more? is that the lesson? hmmm… One of the situations that has cropped up for me more that once is people who talk the talk, but do not walk the walk. My husband thinks I am naive, and expect people to be more than they are. could be, I sure do get disappointed when their actions do not match the words that roll off their tongues, or match the image they are trying to present. I just do not get it. is it me? am I really that naive? I do have the philosophy that everyone gets a chance. I may have to re-examine that and explore how many chances I really give and if I make excuses for people, instead of simply acknowledging that they make me uncomfortable and walking away. Does it really matter why they may make me uncomfortable, isn’t it enough that they do? Am I being judgemental on myself by thinking that I must have a problem if someone is irritating me. yes I sure am. my September Resolution is to let go of anything that I can that drags down my energy. people, or situations. I will be like my bull and stomp off in my own way. now that I think of it, his hollering is just like when we call a friend to vent and have someone listen to our frustrations. sometimes it feels so GOOD to do that. I am now going to let myself off the hook, and simple let go of those people and situations that are not serving me. It is all part of following my inner guidance~no matter what.
