Last Night's dream

Ever since I could remember as a small child waking up in the middle of the night, my dreams have always been really intense. I don't know how I have the ability to remember all my dreams but it is something that I'm really happy that I can do. Typically most people don't remember all of their dreams, if even maybe a few of their dreams.

I woke up this morning or rather in the middle of the night crying. Those are the dreams that feel so real you could of sworn you were living it. My dream was a good one but I think I cried because it was real sad. One of my cousins that I was close to passed away 2.5 years ago and since her passing, I've had many dreams of her, where she's always visiting me in my dreams and talking about things. This is the first dream I've had of her in months. The dream was as if she was still alive... like she lived through her accident and she survived but wasn't quite the same. (she died of a car accident) In my dream I was with her and she was not the same, she always had to be careful because physically she was still healing. And because of the accident she had some kind of brain damage. The dream was a little fuzzy, but I got the feeling that she was trying to tell me that she would have been miserable if she lived through it and that she was glad to have gone out of this world the way she did. And then in the dream she showed me an old man who had brain damage and developed Alzheimer's disease. And for some reason I felt like that could happen to me when I got old. Its crazy to think of things that way but maybe it was a warning. I don't know. But that is about the time I woke up and felt myself crying in bed.

I can't think of anything that has made me sad recently, only the fact that I'm out in the east coast trying to live and my whole family and everything I've know is back in Cali. I know the other night I was with a group of friends and we were watching the Pacquiao fight, it got me a little sentimental because my family and I would always get together and throw parties to watch the Pacquiao fights in San Diego. That's all.

So far I've been pretty happy, looking forward to new beginnings out here and excited about meeting new people. And really giving myself time to grow as an artist and expanding my network, and of course still doing Readings for people =). I've felt really positive the last few days, on complete energy highs and meeting really nice people everywhere I go. The crazy thing that has been happening to me lately is that I've just been knowing how and what's going to happen, I feel like I'm in the flow of things. I've always felt that things in my life have always happened through synchronicity and serendipitous events. I was at the NY Port Authority on saturday waiting for my bus back to Jersey and I just had to buy a water bottle. Without looking at the price list or thinking how much it was going to cost me, I pulled out $1.75 from my wallet and when the cashier rang me up it was the correct amount! Crazy shit like that. And meeting people twice at the same place. I recently met a lady on the plane two weeks ago while traveling to Sedona and sat next to her on the way there and saw her again a few days later on the flight back home. Yeah, it was fate I met her. Its kinda cool sometimes. I just have a feeling about things and I'm usually right about trusting my intuition. When I don't trust my intuition, I feel like things go hay wire! Ha.

Til next time.

A Dreamer Asks: What does it mean when u dream about someone in your past that has passed away?

What does it mean when u dream about someone in your past that has passed away? i mean it felt real... it's been years but how come he popped in on my dream?

My answer:

It just means that they are visiting you. They visit to remind us of some things and also to show us that they are still with us in spirit. Depending on any dialogue that was going on between you, how you felt in the dream and what the message was. Those are some of the things I would examine and look at. It's different for everybody, often these spirits help us to see a different perspective for our lives and also most often they give us clues in our dreams and sometimes they show us on an intuitive level things that may come up in our lives in the near future. I would keep a record of them in journal and watch how the events in your daily life unfold. I often also still get dreams of my cousin who passed away almost two years ago, showing me events that will happen in a few months or situations between my family members that are just really personal and private, that I see in my dreams. It's also easier to meet up with spirits in our dreams, unbeknownst to us we meet up with these spirits on the astral plane. As human beings on this earth, we feel on a deeper level that there is a world beyond our understanding and comprehension. A world we can't easily see, we have a hard time believing this is real because it is not something that is tangible.

Aura Photos

I've never done an Aura Photo until last year, this blue one below I took last sunday the 6th of November in Sedona right before I was leaving. The other one I took a year and a half ago last April 2010. You can see the differences in the aura colors which I think is pretty amazing since we go through different periods in our lives, the aura photo is a clear indication of the lessons we are learning, etc.

What is an Aura?
An AURA is the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds, encompasses and permeates the body as well as all living things. The colors and patterns within this energy field constitute a blueprint (the results of the energy we radiate from our feelings, thoughts, and physical being). Until recently, Aura's were only seen by the special few who had a gift to see the rainbow of colors.

What are Aura photos? 

Aura photography is a visual image of how we are functioning. The technological process is complicated. The hand-shaped plates are sophisticated sensors. They measure your electromagnetic field, based on the Ayurvedic (acupressure points on the hand) system of meridians. The camera codes the energy readings into frequencies (which correspond to certain colors) and process the photograph, a computer sorts the information and prints the Aura Photograph. Read more here. You can also find what each color means on that site.

Also, energy moves from right to left. The right side is new energy coming in, the left side is old energy leaving. Energy also flows downward from the heart as the heart heals. 

You can see where the yellow and green meet in the middle is my chin, where my face is. I was surprised to find that you can barely see my face! I asked the person who read my aura photos why that is, and he said it was because I am living at a higher energy vibration that most of my aura is made of energy. The yellow above my head represents thought forms and the green around means it is transition and change and healing some of the old beliefs and thoughts I had. It makes sense since I just moved from San Francisco to the east coast, a big change! Also the blue means I'm moving into the energy of a teacher and counselor. I have been doing Clairvoyant readings for the past 2 years and not until quite recently have I realized it is something that I need to be more consistent in doing! And I realized after my Sedona trip how much I enjoy helping others. Also the white spots on the top left and right are my spirit guides in my auric field and that he also said that my connection with them is very strong.

This one was taken last April of 2010, so much more different than the top one! The orange meant that it was a highly creative moment in my life. Which was true at the time, I spent a lot of time drawing and working on my art. The red also represented vitality and tons of energy and creation. I was doing a lot of running around and doing school, working on my Dreamwalker Graphic Novel project at the time and also doing reiki sessions with a few clients, I did feel I had so much energy running through me at the time. I couldn't sit still and sleep! The green also on the right meant growth and self-healing.  Very cool to see and compare between the two! I think I'm going to do the aura photos every year! They are so much fun!

Sedona Nov. 2011 Soothe Your Soul

Hello there!

Finally back to the east coast and back to reality after a four day trip to Arizona last weekend. I participated as one of the facilitators for the Soothe Your Soul Sedona retreat, which included a full day of workshops and a Vortex hike in Boynton Canyon. I enjoyed meeting some really new and amazing people over the weekend. Including the other three facilitators that I was meeting for the first time Jenn Prothero, Helena Mazzariello, and Rhoda. As always, I got to see my wonderful friend and fellow Goddess Diana Dorell who put together this event with the help of Dorel Vanegas.

Many women traveled from all over the country and including some from Canada and Bermuda, it was truly a great weekend connecting with so many new faces who are also along a similar spiritual path. You never know what someone else's experience may bring you or what new insights you could gain through sharing. A lot of people's stories touched me this weekend and I truly felt grateful for being a part of their spiritual journey.

For the first time I got to teach a class on Dreams and interpreting them! I never thought I would teach people about dreams, I have been investigating dreams and the dream world my whole life. It's a part of me that has always been natural and I have always felt that my own dreams have guided me in my waking life. I have stumbled upon many people in my life who have always confided in me about their dreams and naturally I just started interpreting their dreams for them and over time I have built my own language of symbols and images.

I'm truly blessed to be a channel and to teach people about what I've learned through the other side. My master teachers and guides from the other side have truly helped me to get to where I am now in my life, hearing them since I was young have allowed me to intuitively know where my next step will be. I never look at my overall future, being a Clairvoyant I get glimpses of my own future but as always we choose our destiny. We must stay present and not jump too far ahead into the future, enjoy the journey!

The workshops were dedicated to women opening up to their intuition, learning to trust the messages they receive, learning to release and forgiveness, techniques for meditation and healing, numerology and lifepath and purpose, and also learning to analyze their own dreams.

I realized something truly incredible during this trip, is that I want to continue on the path of teaching others what I've learned in both my Psychic/Spiritual development and also in my career as an artist. I realized how much I loved doing readings for people and witnessing them gaining clarity in our sessions. Out of divine synchronicity I sat and met with a lady on the plane who was a Career Development professor for the past 20+ plus years on my flight to Phoenix. We had a great time chatting and exchanged numbers and planned to meet up back in NJ. Then on the way back I saw her again on the same flight back to Newark and sat next to her again! It was meant to be!

I also learned an important thing this weekend: Everything is about Timing. The first part of the trip was a day spent in Scottsdale at Diana's place and Jenn and I watched the Coco Chanel movie, the one with Shirley Mclane. I thought it was amazing that the message I took from the movie was about timing. When Coco first built her business and her lover Guy was in London having a book release party, she didn't attend and ended up being busy and working at her shop. He then met another woman at his party with whom the newspapers gossiped about being his girlfriend. Well he ends up marrying her, Timing. She was at the right place and at the right time and Chanel wasn't. She lost her lover after that. Its pretty interesting why out of all the movies my friend Diana had at her place, I decided to watch that one! Messages come to us in so many different forms. I know that things in our life are all about Timing. Preparing, having luck and the right opportunity to come into our lives.

Anyway, I should stop rambling! Godspeed!

Here are some of the pics I took during my Phoenix - Sedona trip over the weekend.  
      Here is a video of pictures during the event that our friend Andrea made! Enjoy!
