I open my eyes and glance at my watch sitting on an old stool by my bed: 5:45 AM A ray of light begins to open the sky. The darkness of the night wanes. Spiritually, at this hour bright energies from many different realms are descending upon Earth. Some may call them "angels" others refer to them as "deities". It is the job of these energies to be among us as the day breaks, and so it is crucial for every human being to understand that this -this very moment- is a special time for us. The vibration and frequency of sound and telepathy are at it's highest range just before the sun lights the day. ...

Hello all! I would like to apologize to everyone who has been patiently waiting for a post from me and have been emailing me with complaints. The truth is, for the past couple of weeks I have been working on me. It has been a long time since I have been fully focused on myself. The nature of my work has always been to improve the lives of other people. My joy was the happiness of others. My dreams were other peoples achievements and it took one meeting recently to let me know that I had forgotten about me. ...

In this post I will attempt to show you (real students) how the practical part of spirituality, healing, cleansing or clearing works - or manifests. I always find it best to teach in story form such as with the the story of Frankie and Mawga Dog, (read here). However, with this post I will give a few scenarios and an exercise for your better understanding. If you have been reading my blog and learning anything at all then the exercise should not be too difficult. This blog is a school of life. For those who are willing to participate, do so, because there will be more to learn as we get deep into the conversations of what so many do not know or what so many have no idea of. ...

It doesn't work. At least not how you think it does. Some time ago, I was speaking to a woman who was telling me a dream she had. I think she wanted my opinion, although she didn't ask, (she says she is very spiritual and can do things herself). After she told me the dream, she mentioned that when she got off the phone with me she would "smudge" (here smudging means a smokey fire) the house using Sage. I smiled in my mind at her saying this because she was Jamaican, land of spirits, spirits who can come up to you like a human being and talk to you then disappear just like that. Speak to some old timers and they will give you some good stories. Like my father, for example. He once told me that when he was a young man, he was walking home one night, (this was in the country where only the stars and the moon were lit, there were no street lights, and so the night was dark). The country nights were lonely and nature's sound came from everywhere. He said he wasn't afraid of anything non-physical, he had no belief in the supernatural, he only had eyes and ears out for bad men, criminals. As he walked, (he had miles to go before he got home) he spotted a man in a felt hat walking ahead of him. It seemed like an elderly man, although fit and sturdy. Daddy said he thought to himself "Yes! Mi have company now", so he quickened his steps in hopes of catching up to the man, even if he just walked behind him. As he tried to do so, the man seemed to be further away, causing my Dad to jog trying to catch up to him. He never did. ...

Obeah is something that is real and woe be to the ones who constantly say they do not believe. To me, this is either ignorance (which can not be faulted) or a psychological attempt to block out all negative possibilities. The thing is, the realness of Obeah should never be taken for granted because many people's lives are affected by wicked hands who have the ability to manipulate energy. This really is what Obeah is, good or bad, the manipulation  of energy which is very possible. There was a time when I traveled with some people. We were going on a spiritual journey. Little did I know that we were heading into a great spiritual war, which was planned against me by someone I thought I could trust. The signs were all around, but I with all my wisdom ignored them. ...

When I was a little girl growing up in Jamaica, there was a drunkard by the name of Mr. Fergie, a short little man with a crushed up face and head of white hair. He seemed old and his face surly. I, to this day, never remembered Mr. Fergie standing up straight. He was always drunk. His best friend was the good old Jamaican White Rum, J Wray and Nephew. There was also another drunk in my community who was a shoe maker, he was called Shoey. At nights when Shoey would stagger on his way home, the younger men in the community would laywait him and pour flour on his head as a joke, while Shoey slurred a string of bad words at them. ...

Often times in the middle of the night, or sometimes during the day, you may experience a feeling that is indescribable. Such feeling may be a loss of hearing for almost a second or two, the feeling as if someone threw a punch at you and missed, and just the wind of it caught you and you are left slightly winded. Or at nights, one may experience "duppy hold down" or what is mistakenly referred to by the scientific world as 'Sleep Paralysis,' read here. Unbeknownst to you who may have experienced this, many times these are spiritual attacks. Mind you, not all the time, but these are some of the ways that spiritual attacks come in, especially to those who are very spiritually in tuned. Let me explain what this last sentence means: ...

  It is one of the best decisions to make when you decide to take time out for yourself and meditate. It sounds easy, how hard could it be to sit and be silent? While it may be easy for some, others may find it difficult to slow their minds down enough and hear absolutely nothing. The world is a very busy place and as I have written before in a post here on Embracing Spirituality, it is naturally chaotic. We are just too busy! Many people live in countries where there is war, how do they cope? Others live in countries where the economic conditions is so bad, they pray everyday for a solution, if only to help their children survive. Your bills, children, family, your  job and all the woes of life and just trying to survive often times does not allow most people to enjoy their lives. Unfortunately, some people believe that in order to enjoy life you have to party, have money, go on luxurious vacations and then some. It is important for us to know ourselves, there are so many possibilities within us, if we slow down enough to know ourselves, tap into our consciousness, be one with the universe and allow ourselves to listen, be silent and listen.  To be able to handle life and all within we have to settle our minds, find time for ourselves (me time), and all this points to meditation. ...

Honoring your ancestors is very important for all of us to do. Contrary to what many may think your ancestors can either be by blood or through spirit. It is also very important for us to know that they, our ancestors are never far away from us. I sometimes make reference to the Bible although I do not practice Christianity, and the reason behind that is, I was born into Christianity and was an anointed Evangelist in the Christian Church and also I have been in love with God ever since I can remember and I first met him through the practice of Christianity, I had no choice but to practice Christianity. I studied "The Word"  thoroughly from Genesis to Revelation, so I know the Bible well. Contrary to Christians who condemn and demonize anyone who do not practice their faith or preach their beliefs (most of them not all), I believe that any Religion or Traditional practice  is valid as long as it teaches Peace and Love. As a matter of fact this was a message given to me from a very high light being, you would not believe me if I told you who it was. ...

How to know when you have found your Spiritual Teacher/Guru/God mother/God Father. When the Student is ready the master will appear. I wrote about Mr. Mitchel in the post  The Spiritual Power and Uses Of Salt. I met him through my mother and he was a remarkable man.  Through him I met Mr. Pierre, he was an Haitian Houngan (male priest of Voudon), and in between meeting these men, I met Padrino, an Oriete of the Cuban Lucumi religion. I had three Spiritual mentors while growing up and into my Spirituality. All men, they were all men. They all did not know each other with the exception of Mr. Mitchel and Mr. Pierre, but they all loved me, and I loved them in return. I met Mr. Mitchel when I was a teenager. I had already been on my spiritual path, although I had no idea I was in Spiritual school.  I had just thought that I was going through some rough and miserable times. By rough and miserable, I mean I began to experience anxiety and panic attacks. Trust me , these are difficult  memories for me, but to help you understand better by relating my experiences which may help you on your path, I will grit my teeth and write. ...
