Your thoughts, feelings and emotions all resonate at a certain frequency and vibration. When you tell the story of your past you tune into that specific frequency of energy and vibration. This is unwanted for a lot of reasons but one of the main reasons is, if it is an unpleasant memory it makes you feel uncomfortable, second it puts you in a negative mind loop, where you keep repeating the same thoughts over and over and the energy gets stronger and stronger and snowballs the energy. When that happens you not only start resonating at the same frequency again but you actually become a magnet that attracts similar energy to you. This is why people tend to repeat unwanted relationships… if you keep talking about the things you didn’t like in the last relationship you will call it in again because you keep recreating that same vibration every time you talk about it.
A part of us will always want to try to fix the past by bringing up old stories, but there is no changing what has happened, you can only shift the energy of this present moment to make sure you create a better future.
When you find yourself thinking of something that happened in the past or re-living a story, say. ‘Present moment. Forward thinking.’ This will bring you back to this moment and shift your ‘Thought Stream’ into a new direction. And when I say ‘Thought Stream’ I mean it. If you knew the intensity of the flow of energy you are using to think about the past it would amaze you. When you are able to shift all of that energy into the present moment and point it to where you would like to go, your life will move forward faster than you knew was possible.
Sometimes we focus on the past because we may be afraid of what comes next. The past, even if it was a crappy past, seems safer than an unknown future… But most of us are only afraid of the future because we are afraid we may repeat the past, but we will only repeat the past if we keep thinking about it…there in lies the cycle. There are all of these organizations that keep saying, ‘We should remember the past! Lest we forget!’ Let’s just talk about the word Remember for a moment. Re-member we are putting back together, we are Re-membering something that has happened in the past. We are literally bringing it back together and creating the energy of it again and again.
I believe a more productive way to create a better future is to actually create a better future. Think about what you want to create and then take the steps to make it happen. The same goes for your new relationship. Create in your mind’s eye what you would like to experience, then go one step further and bring up the feelings you would like to feel in this new relationship. Bring them up every day. Feel them as much as you can. Have as much fun as you can. Talk to your future partner, have fun with them, go for walks and talk to them. Feel what it feels like to be in their presence. This brings you into the vibration and frequency of what you wish to create. When you are in the frequency for long enough you become a magnet for that same frequency to come in. Eventually a new partner can’t help but come in, and when they do it will feel easy and natural, like they have been with you for a long time…because in essence… they have, you have been in each other’s same energy and frequency for as long as you have been calling it in.

Many of us have been taught to cut energetic cords with people who we have unhealthy connections with. That never quite felt right to me. If you cut a cord you then have this dangling piece of cord hanging around, which is going to leak energy and or reconnect with it’s other half again. Which is why people cut cord and the connection comes back. There is another technique that involves finding the cord, turning it and then pulling it out of your body that way. That seemed a little better…but one day I came across a way to release cords that seems the most compassionate and loving.
The way I see it is this:
When you have a cord attachment to another person you both have an agreement to hold on to one another. It looks like 2 hands holding onto each other at the end of the cords. In the beginning it can feel quite comforting, but sometimes the attachment becomes painful and not at all healthy. So here is a gentle and loving way to releasing this connection with someone.
Here is the process:
When you are ready to release an attachment cord with someone call in an angel/guide to assist you.
Breathe and relax into the connection point where you are holding on to the other person’s hand. Allow the hands to soften and release, then give the other person’s hand to the angel/guide and ask them to take this hand back to the person it belongs to. Ask the angel/guide to help them to assimilate the cord and energy back into their being and also help them in anyway that cord was helping them.
Help them to connect to Divine Source through the crown chakra and the Earth through the root so they can get the love and energy they need. Now that your connection is gone they will not be getting energy from you, that is good news because now they can re establish how to get energy and it’s much better for them to get energy from an unlimited Source energy rather than you limited energy as a human. The same goes for you. If you were using this person for a source of energy and or love you will now be able to tap into an infinite amount of energy and love any time you need it from Source and Earth energy . When we are attached we often think that this person is the only place we can feel this good or get this kind of energy, but as soon as we are free we realize that there is so much more we can experience if we open up our awareness to outside of this connection.
Once you have released the cord then it’s time to focus in on your own connection. Breathe your connection end back into your body putting your hands on this place and filling yourself up with your own energy. Breathe deeply and easily into this place. Relax into it and allow it to be filled up with your love and energy. There was a reason why you were holding on to this connection. Some sort of energy or lesson you were getting from this person. Ask that anything you might need or want be filled in now with love. Give yourself everything you need, gently and easily in this moment. Breathe deeply and know that you are safe and you are loved. Relax into it…feel yourself sinking deep into this place. Allow any tension to let go as you move in and relax. Fill yourself up in every part of your being that feels lacking. Connect up to Source energy through your crown chakra and connect into the Earth through your root chakra.
Continue to relax breathe and go within until you feel at peace.

When you think about something you send out a streamer of energy to that person or that thing or situation in time. Depending on how emotional you are the more energy is channeled through that streamer of energy and the bigger it gets. So if you are thinking about something you want to happen, awesome… but what if you are thinking about someone or something you are sad about or thinking about a situation you wish would NOT happen. Well then you are streaming all of your energy to the things you don’t want. I understand how easy it is to think about the negative things that have happened or the things that could be happening or will happen in the future, but if you think about it this way… the more you think about it the more energy you put into manifesting it. So if you are going to spend all of your energy thinking about something wouldn’t it be better to think about something you want to bring into your life than something you don’t want to bring into your life? Be honest, how much time have you actually spent thinking about things that you don’t want to happen?
Here is what to do when you find yourself obsessing about things you would rather not be thinking about.
Notice what you are thinking about. ‘Oh I am thinking about this again.’ Notice where the streamer is coming out of your body. Is it coming from your head? Your heart? Your belly? Take some time to think about that streamer of energy coming back to you. Breathe it back into your body. Redirect the energy either to the Divine, the Sun or to the Earth. This will ground the energy and give it a neutral charge.
It’s challenging when you are thinking about something and obsessing about it, it almost becomes an addiction to the feeling of pain and hurt. Ekhart Tolle talks about being in the pain body. He says that when you are in the pain body all you want to do is focus on the things that can hurt you more and what can hurt others more. This bringing back of the streamer helps with getting you out of the pain body and back into your physical body. The more present you are in the physical body the more safe and calm you will feel.
As you bring the streamer back into your body start breathing deeply into your body and imagine the very base of your body and legs sinking into the Earth. Relax and breathe as you imagine sinking further into the Earth.
When you feel very grounded and calm focus your attention on the top of your head and imagine connecting up to a big sun. Breathe up to this sun and breathe the light and energy back down from this sun.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Remember to join the Love Club for updates and new posts!
Many blessings,

I have had a mixture of anxiousness and sadness going on under the surface for many years, but somehow today I was able to get a different perspective on it. Even though I have felt these feelings, I never really embraced them or sat with them. I have heard of this, I have even taught this, but today I actually did it…and something happened.
I relaxed into the feelings of resistance and instead of seeing it as resistance I saw it just another feeling, just another sensation. Relaxing into the anxiousness, relaxing into the sadness…and just being a witness to it, just loving it…feeling it expand and open.
These feelings were like veils keeping me from being fully present in my body. I would feel them and back off and then they would come back stronger and overwhelm me…but each time I would note the feelings and sensations and wonder how to shift them the next time.
Today I was able to feel the layers that these feelings lived in and was able to get below them. Deeper and deeper I explored into and around these feelings and as I went into them they would dissolve. Taking deep breaths I realized that these feelings were just sensations and sensations can shift and change. The act of moving into them allowed them to release and then I was able to move deeper into my own body.
As I feel into my body now I am experiencing a greater groundedness than I can remember ever feeling. It’s starting to feel like my body is solid, strong and stable. I am not done with the process yet, but each day that I go in I feel like I am getting another part of me back again. Feeling emotionally and physically stronger.
I am so thankful for this process of unfolding in my life. Allowing me to see that we truly do create our reality, our pain, our suffering, but also our salvation, our healing and our bliss. Nothing we do is outside of ourselves. We are doing this whole life as an experiment in coming back to wholeness, truth and clarity.
Someone had told me not to tell people about my struggles with life, but in the struggles lies the courage to seek out the peace. I am an awesome empathic intuitive, but I didn’t get that way because life was easy. I got this way because I have struggled and cried and raged and learned what it is to be human. This humaness has taught me more than any quiet times of perfection in solitude. In this moment I am thankful for it all.
I know this clarity comes and goes, so in this moment I give thanks and I honor it all…with so much love…

I lost myself again…totally and completely gave all of my power away.
The only thing worse than knowing I did it, was knowing I did it…again.
I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I felt like hiding away. I cried, I felt like my whole life was a failure. I felt like I was worth nothing, never was and everything I have ever done was worthless and that I was worthless…
Then I realized…I had made an agreement to do this…to go through this process. This is not me…this is not who I am.
Who I am is powerful, beautiful, loving and courageous. Who I am is a leader, a teacher, a guide and a lover of everything and everyone including myself. These thoughts and these feelings aren’t me. They never were. I took them on to play a game. To pretend I was less than the amazingly beautiful being that I am so that I could bring myself back and then share what I have learned with others.
So early this morning as the light started to filter into the world I decided to breathe myself back into me. All of the power I had given away I took back through my solar plexus and as I did I could feel it go through me into these beautiful wings. I felt my whole body sway back and forth in a fluid dance as the energy began to course through me and energize my wings as they unfurled. Vibrant colors and light shone in me and through me and my wings and I felt everything coming back on line.
I want you to know…if you are struggling through the darkness that there is hope, you can find your way out of the darkness and it doesn’t have to take a whole life time. Maybe it only takes a willingness to see the truth of who you are. Maybe it takes you calling your energy and power back to you as only you can. Maybe it is realizing that none of these terrible thoughts you are thinking are yours anyway. Maybe it just takes asking for assistance to guide you back. There is help, you are not alone.
You deserve an amazing life, you are here to make a difference on the planet. Your voice and your words are the only ones that are going to help the people you came here to help and if you don’t show up the world is going to be a little less bright, a little less vibrant because your light is not a part of it. You will be missed and you are loved very much.
I am calling to you from the other side of the veil…come back now, come back into the light, come back to yourself. If it feels like too much ask for help, we are here to assist you, all you have to do is ask.
With love and much reverence I bow to the amazing being that I know you are.
You can do this. You are strong enough. I believe in you.
Loving you always,
Joanna
