What is EFT?

Kate Strong, psychic and follower of this blog shares with us her knowledge of EFT.
Thank you Kate for your article!

What is EFT?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a powerful healing modality, similar to acupuncture but without the needles. It connects the subtle energy body with the emotions, and as a result can affect our health is a positive way.

Who started EFT?

There are many teachers out there today but EFT was originally invented by Gary Craig (http://www.facebook.com/l/bd532;www.emofree.com).

What does EFT do?

The theory behind EFT is that all emotional upsets are caused by a disturbance in the body’s energy system, if you correct the disturbance then the excess emotion balances out and in turn can heal the body.

It doesn’t take emotions away, but more so our overreaction to an event, object, memory etc. There’s no limit to the creative ways in which EFT can be used, you name it, EFT can be applied whether it be a mental/emotional affliction like depression or anxiety, to PTSD, and phobias. Other issues can be helped, like performance anxiety, pain and disease, weight loss, insomnia, abuse, and much much more.

Gary Craig’s website is a huge resource for examples and case studies as well as free information to try this out yourself.

How do you do EFT?

EFT is a gentle form of tapping on meridian points, mostly on the face and upper body, which are the energy pathways in the body, all the while focusing on the problem at hand. Rounds are done, SUDS (measuring the level of intensity of emotion) are measured, and each round lowers the level of intensity. There is a certain way to word the problem while tapping, also applying a positive statement. There are many variations of this, as there is no limit to the way the technique can be applied.

Happy Tapping.

Three Keys to Change - Part 1 - by Ms Kara

Three Keys to Change Part 1

Part 1
By Ms Kara - Thank you Ms Kara for allowing me to post your article!
Ms Kara's Blog




There comes a time when you wonder if the things that people say to and about you are true. It is safe to say, for me, that I am the type to question myself first. I am accountable for my own behavior, because I view the world from a place of growth. I am not the type to run away from my flaws. We all have them and it doesn't make us weak to have them. It makes us human. To refuse to admit my flaws would devoid my life of purpose and allow the Ego to be take control. Over the course of the next three days we will explore the three keys to change and growth. Try to remember life is about progress, not perfection. We set our long range goal on change and growth and will not allow ourselves to be caught up in self condemnation. So, let’s begin.
If the purpose of life at its basic level is growth, then awareness is the first step to change, followed by admittance and finally conscious action. Sometimes, we need a reminder of our flaws because our Ego always wants to believe that it is perfect. Why, because the nature of the Ego is self centered and if we allow our Spirit to guide us then the Ego becomes afraid that is will lose its identity. It helps to recognize that the Ego and Spirit are two separate entities existing in the same body. The Spirit and the Ego must cohabitate in harmony to achieve its purpose but the Ego is very child like with its resistance. If I don't grow then the Ego remains in control and I am in effect dead to my purpose. Don't get me wrong, I need my Ego to survive. It has a purpose in my life. It reminds me of when I need to take care of myself and when I am being treated wrongly. It also tells me when it is time to act. The proof of growth is action.


Without the Ego it would be hard to grow. As children we come into the world with an Ego to communicate through cries, laughter and facial expression. We are pre-programmed to allow it to guide us to achieve the care we are not capable of giving ourselves. The goal is to learn to allow the soul, which is the bridge between Ego and spirit, to guide us into a better future where growth can happen.


The challenge is to develop the ability to listen to the soul’s guidance. It is an ability that takes practice and if you are seeking to take the easy way out, I strongly suggest that you stop reading now. This is not to be undertaken lightly and is not for those that give up easily. It is a venture that must be taken on every single day. We must all rise to the occasion if we are to succeed. It's hard to change. The good news is that if you are still reading this you recognize that what you have been doing so far isn't working for you.


So, how do we change? It starts with a commitment to awareness. The first step in awareness is recognition. Awareness is that burning feeling that something is not right and no matter what you do you cannot simply forget it. We have all experienced this in our lives, the key is to identify when it is happening. When you notice that you are thinking of something over and over, you are probably becoming aware of an issue that needs change. This is a process and will not happen overnight. We are the masters of denial. It is the nature of the Ego. However, if you have chosen a path of growth it won't go away and it will become too painful to ignore, so you might as well act. Remember, this is not about getting someone else to change so if you find yourself obsessing over someone's behavior, your Ego is seeking to distract you from your personal growth. When you become aware that your Ego has taken charge you are now ready for action. Next time we will discuss Admitting and Action.

Meditation Exercise 2 - Healing Meditation

This meditation is a great healing exercise.

I use this when I feel a cold or flu coming on or anytime I need to calm nerves, or fix bigger ailments I am seeing my doctor for.

My daughter and I also use this for pain control for her rehab from her surgeries.

When I do this exercise I like to use some essential oils in an oil burner. I use clary sage, menthol, eucalyptus, and myrtle.

You can use other combinations but I find these to aid in breathing and they have amazing healing properties.

As always sit or lay comfortably.

Breathing in through your nose and out through your month as best possible, if you have a cold this may be difficult, so do what feels best for you.

Clear your energy of negative thought and emotion and focus only on healing your mind, body and spirit.

Take a cleansing breath even if you are having a hard time breathing properly it is the intent that counts.

As you exhale visualize the virus, illness, etc leaving your body.

Next inhalation, visualize tiny sparkling lights entering your body to fight and kill the infection.

Localize these lights to the areas of your body that are affected by your illness.

Visualize with each inhalation these tiny sparkling lights entering into your bloodstream and eating up any sickness within you.

As you exhale you expel them, they are no longer white sparkling lights but dark shadowy and ashen.

They dissipate into the air into millions of tiny dead particles unable to come back and infect you nor can they infect others.

You can do this exercise as you fall asleep at night as it can also aid in a good nights sleep. If you plan to do this at night time instead of using an oil burner you can use a vaporizer, as it is a bit safer to leave on all night.

Continue to use this visualization meditation regularly as you work to rid your body of illness or pain. The more you use it the more you build up your system to fight infection.

I have used this technique for the last 20 years and I believe it is one of the reasons why I have not had any side effects from my

type 1 diabetes. It is one small part of a process I learned in the 80’s when I was studying bio-feedback at the Menninger Foundation.

Remember in any visualization, manifestation or focus it is important that you have intent. Being in a positive state of mind, staying focused on your goal and believing in the process are key.

With Love,

Azzrian

How to Choose a Psychic

A recent query from one of our faithful followers was:



"katestrong:  I’ve had a few psychic readings and they tell me something different? How do I know what to believe?"

This is a great question!

My advice to anyone just starting out getting psychic readings or starting over looking for valid insight is to chose a few advisors you feel a pull to.


Read their profile very carefully. Many people fail to do this and only go by ratings or the photo of the expert. Take time to really “listen” to what they say in their profile. Get a feel for how they communicate. A well-written profile is a good indication of the type of service you will receive. Also lets face it, we all have different personalities, and we want an advisor who will really resonate with us. Someone who we can relate to, someone who we can feel we can really open up to. This is why it is wonderful to have sites like Liveperson where you can find experts of all ages, races, backgrounds, etc. There is a perfect advisor for everyone there. It is however our responsibly when we are on the client side to make sure we do our own homework in selecting an advisor. So really take the time to check out everything, their reviews, their profiles, and their personalities.

Are You an Empath?

Are you an Empath?
What does it mean to have empathy?
A huge thank you to KateS for her article suggestion!)

What makes one an Empath?
What is the difference between being an Empath and just being a really sensitive person?
Simply defined, empathy is the capability to share and understand another’s feelings and emotions. You are capable of putting yourself into another persons’ shoes.


To be Empathic takes this to another level. If you are empathic you actually feel the emotions and feelings of another person strongly.


If you know someone who has lost a loved one and feel badly for them, understand their emotional plight and can see how they are feeling on a logical level you are having feelings of empathy.


If you know someone who has lost a loved one and feel badly yourself for knowing this, have some of the same symptoms of mourning that they do, and feel the need to comfort them or help them through their emotional time you are more likely an Empath.


Empaths have a difficult time being in crowed places.


Have a very difficult time attending funerals.


Often times become overwhelmed or disoriented at large gatherings.


Watching anything sad or disturbing on the television is too difficult for you.


People discussing death, illness, any horrible situation makes you terribly uncomfortable.


You feel the physical ailments and pain of others.


You develop symptoms of illness when around others who are ill.


It is difficult for you to sit in the doctors office, the hospital or especially the emergency room.


Are you very aware when you are being lied to?


Do you always know what someone really meant to say but said something else instead?


Do you suddenly, out of nowhere have severe mood swings for no explicable or medical reason when in public? 


Do you find that people are just naturally open with you and want to tell you all about themselves?


Do you feel that you can heal others emotionally or physically?
You find yourself being frustrated with others for having their own feelings and emotions. 
These are common symptoms of being an empath. 
I do hate calling them “symptoms” however. It is not a disease to be empathic. It can be very difficult to live ones live as an empathic though, especially if you are unaware of what is happening with yourself. Knowledge is power however and understanding what you feel and why you feel it is the first step in harnessing and working with your gifts.


Lets take a look at each “symptom” in depth: 


1. Being in crowded places: This one is especially difficult because you can go into the mall or the store feeling a-okay but suddenly you feel an overwhelming sense of sadness, or anger or illness out of no where. You may feel your stomach cramping up, you face grows flush, your energy becomes very weak etc. I have known people who are empathic but not yet under control of their gifts who have walked right out of a store leaving a full cart of groceries behind because it was simply too much to take. 


2. Going to a funeral is almost impossible. Even the idea of going is too much for you. Even if you were not close to the person who has passed, if you do go you end up weeping in an uncontrollable way the whole time, unless it is the kind of funeral where they are “celebrating life” and it is a bit more upbeat, but even then you are picking up on not just the one who has passed but all of the energy of every person in that room and everyone reacts differently to death. So the swirling vortex of emotion you are taking in is too intense to describe. Getting out seems to be your only recourse. Usually an emapth who does manage to make it through a funeral does not make it to the dinner after. 


3. In a large crowd, such as a party, or sporting event you find yourself unable to maintain focus. Everything around you becomes foggy and you are feeling an overwhelming sense of urgency. You get light headed and dizzy from all of the energy from the people around you who are usually very excited and over working their own energy. This can result in you feeling dizzy, nauseous, nervous, and unable to enjoy the event. 


4. You are sitting there watching a movie and you just feel the intense desire to shut it off. This can ruin a few family nights or dates! Being in tune with the energy of the situation, knowing that people really do experience such things even if those on the television are just actors. Your mind no longer is on the program but on the idea of what people have to struggle through in life, how difficult it is for some people to live happily, how someone else out there is hurting while you are cozy and watching a movie. There is guilt that comes up and you are no longer in the moment of your own enjoyable life.


5. When people discuss a car accident they witnessed, or an animal being run over, or a person dying, you immediately want to turn your ears off. You do not like hearing about such things because something in your mind triggers your whole body to cringe and you feel in your being this pain the animal or person has suffered. You are highly sensitive to pain and can feel it by hearing about it. 


6. When you are around someone who is hurt or ill you can pick up on their symptoms and feel their pain and illness. If someone around you has a headache you may not feel an all out headache yourself but you will have tension around your head neck and shoulders or a feeling like a weight on your head. The extent to which you feel certain things can vary but you always seem to know who feels well and who does not when they are around you. 


7. You may take on symptoms of others who are ill around you. Being around someone who has frequent allergy symptoms may cause you to develop a cough or watery eyes. You may have noticed at times looking at someone who is sneezing and has watery eyes from allergies makes you instantly break into a sneezing and watery eyes spell of your own. Once mastered an emphatic that has this specific skill can more easily develop their healing abilities. 


8. Going to your own doctors appointment can be a real challenge. You may cancel appointments often and not even know why you just refuse to go! You have the time, you set your schedule to make your appointment, you got up early enough but there is just this feeling of dread about going. Emergency rooms and hospitals make you feel a pit in your stomach. The idea of these places simply does not sit right with you and you avoid them when possible.


9. You know exactly when someone is being honest with you or not. You do not always chose to call people out on their lies, and sometimes they are just little white lies but you just know that they are not being honest with you. Often you have to catch yourself from making a strange face at them or letting onto the fact you know they told a lie. Especially when the matter does not concern you or the lie is not being told to you. This can get us in trouble at work because perhaps it is a co-worker or boss who is doing the lying and there is simply no way for you to prove what you know, but none the less you do know they are lying. 


10. Sometimes people get their words mixed up and are misunderstood. Do you often find you are the one having to clear the air between others and make someone understand “they didn’t mean it that way” and end up explaining how the other person really meant to come off? Do you find yourself being able to just “get” people without really knowing them, little or no information and being able to understand them better than their own friends and family that is yet another gift of the empathic person.


11. Sometimes when you are out and about running errands or just enjoying your day you are suddenly hit with the feeling of an emotion? You started out just fine and dandy, happy go lucky, singing along to the radio, you pull up to the red light and bam, you feel like someone just kicked you in the gut. These sudden emotions “out of no where” come from others near you even if not in the same room or car.


12. The people at the check out counters are always so friendly to you. They talk and talk and go on and on to the point you are thinking “OMG BAG MY GROCERIES ALREADY PLEASE!” okay maybe that’s just me lol but I’m impatient at the store. People just feel so at ease with you. They can bend your ear, tell you things they would never tell some of the people they know let alone a stranger. They even themselves think after you walk away, “wow why did I just tell that person all that stuff?” 


13. Do you find that if you concentrate your efforts and energy you can ease people who are suffering or hurt? Have you experienced a time when you felt you had healed them in some way? Empthics are the best natural healers and can often times help heal those who are sick or in pain. With work and education you can develop this gift! 


14. Do you often get upset or angry with someone you know and love for expressing their own feelings? This is a common but often misunderstood sign of being an empathy. Empaths are some of the nicest people you will meet but we all have our wall we hit especially when we do not have our gifts harnessed and under control. Especially the person who is just learning they are an emapth. They tend to lash out at those they love when it is the worst possible time to do so, when they need them to BE empathic! Empaths who do not have their gifts in check become especially overwhelmed when it is their own loved one who is hurting! They just can not deal with the intensity of the emotion and lash out in anger which is usually anger that is at themselves not the person who needs to lean on them for support. They become frustrated because between their loved one needing them to help and their own intense onslaught of emotion they are feeling both from their loved one and their own feelings of wanting to help they just implode then explode. This of course totally confuses their loved one and makes the empathy feel horrible. 


So what do you do with all of this? If you feel you are an empathic the first step is to accept that you are going to have to deal with it and learn to get it under control. It is no different than balancing anything else in your life but now you have an added and important thing about yourself to keep balanced. I cannot stress enough how much meditation helps in this process but yes it takes time and energy and focus to do that and you have to keep at it. Its like a diet, it only works for you if you work with the program! 


There are amazing books you can read on the subject. There are advisors who will help you through projects, lessons and live chat sessions to discuss what you are going through. You may be able to locate a local support group, if not start a meet-up group in your area. Meet Up Groups 


Being able to identify when you are having an empathic flash and when your emotions are purely your own is a huge step to take. You have to learn to separate what you feel from what you are receiving from others. Once you learn to do some daily focus via meditation or grounding exercises, keep your own emotions in check versus what you are picking up off of others and knowing what our limits are you are on your way to being an empath that really can help others. Will you always then be perfect? Heck no, its just like keeping balance in your regular life you have to work at it.


See This Article here:  
Finding Balance in a Topsy Turvey World


Do you have to use your abilities for the good of others?


Nope. You can keep your ability all to yourself but from my experience I have found that others and myself cannot help but use them for some purpose. Otherwise they just seem to sit there and fester. Of course not everyone is going to want your help or for you to reach out to them. You have to use good judgment on that unless you are also psychic.


However, you will have honed your skills to the level of being able to determine with your empathic abilities, if they are open to help or not by the time you are out there putting your skills into practice. 

Angelsbwthu's Mini Past Life Reading

Past Life Reading for Angelsbwthu
Regression by Azzrian Visions
October 16, 2009

As I entered your past life regression I felt such a heavy heart. I felt people around you saddened you but I could feel your inner strength. I could feel your determination. I could feel the logic versus emotion going on in your energy. The energy in which I entered this life was very similar to your energy now.


I knew that this was going to be very familiar territory for me to walk through this past life of yours. I could feel the connecting energy from this life to your life today. I know that this past life is a direct impact, for sure, on your current path.


You were only around the age of 23, a female. You were working two jobs, supporting your brother and your ailing mother. 


Your brother was older than you by a few years but I could tell that he was a lost soul, that he had not found his place in this life and that he was struggling just to be a good person. He definitely had what we call today depression issues, as well as perhaps being bi-polar. 


You worked a very unusual full time job in a slaughterhouse and it seemed that you cleaned the hanging “product”. 


Your part time job was also of a “masculine” nature, of clearing rock beds and moving rocks. The guides did not get too in depth about your jobs or the nature of them but I found it immensely interesting how you took on “manly” type of work.


Perhaps this too is somehow symbolic for you in this life.


Your brother stayed at home all day. He did not work and he did not go out often. He was a tall well built man, he walked with a definite limp and used a cane. When he did go out he was very mysterious about his activity. He usually would leave in the nighttime after you and your mother were sleeping, or he would act as if he was going to the bathroom and sneak out the back door. I know he was not being held hostage and was free to come and go as he pleased but he just did not want to be questioned on where he was headed. The reason for this was because he so rarely left the home that when he did it drew quite a bit of attention and usually he was leaving because he was up to no good.


Your brother was a very gentle person, he was not setting out to hurt anyone, except for himself. He would go out to purchase drugs. I asked my guides where he was getting the money for the drugs since he never worked and they told me it was because he had received some settlement money from a work related injury. This explained his lack of working and his limp also possibly his depression and anxiety. 


Your mother was just failing in her health due to old age and a hard life. She was not very much aware of what was going on around her.


The center of this focus revolved around you, how hard you worked, and your bother and your care and caution for him. You were very protective of him and you treated him much like a child. You protected him like a child, you felt responsible for him as if he were a child and you loved him as if he were your son not your brother. You knew the reason he sought out drugs was for his pain but that still did not comfort you because you did not live in the best of neighborhoods and he was mixing with unsavory people in order to get his drugs. You worried every time he left the house because you knew it was only for the one reason. He knew you were aware of this as well yet he still tried sneaking out partially not to worry you and partially because he was truly embarrassed. 


I could not help but ask my guides if your bother in this life was in your life now and they confirmed that in fact he is.


In this life however you felt a real need to take care of your brother. While he did not have mental problems his health did affect his emotional state so much that he acted at times as if he were mentally challenged and in a way you did treat him as such. You tended to worry about his safety so much that you did everything for him from cooking his meals, to cleaning up after him to making doctor appointments for him etc.


You worked, your took care of your family and you slept. That was about it love.


In all of this I felt you were very secluded from a life of your own. At work you had very little contact with females, you had no friends, and not because people disliked you. You were very well liked! When you went into town the women loved to talk to you and get an idea of what it was like doing the kind of work you did, they thought you embodied both the strength they would like to have along with the beauty because you were very pretty, and they were just so curious about you as a person. You were very private and did not like to speak about yourself much, you easily became a bit shy and embarrassed talking about yourself, but you had such a disarming smile that these women just loved to be around you, you were somewhat of a local celebrity in their eyes. You were mysterious and pretty and confident at least as they saw you. They could not imagine working out of the home in not one but two jobs and both male-centered work. They could have easily been envious or jealous as you did work with many of their husbands but they were not. They often would try to set you up on dates with their single male family members, encouraged you to join them at their gatherings, invited you to parties, and such. They would send home baked goodies to work with their husbands for YOU and your family. It was known you had a bother and ailing mother and you supported them and people did tend to discuss that a little but they all seemed to like you. With all this you still devoted all of your time to your mother and brother. 


You did ignore your brothers sneaking out to a large degree. At times you would stop him and question how long he would be gone, if he needed a ride, if he would be out late etc. You did worry but you knew that his behaviors were not going to stop and that the drugs did help him. 


You were not an unhappy person but you were not fulfilled. You buried your mother at when you were 25, and your brother continued to live with you until he passed away when he was in his early 40’s. You never married. When your brother and mother were both gone you continued to work but stopped working your second job with the rock quarry type place. You continued to work at the meat plant. You did take up a few hobbies but you still kept very much to yourself. You were satisfied by that point of having some space to yourself, not to make you sound like a bad person, you loved your family dearly and missed them very much but you had worked so hard for so long instead of being lonely to be home all the time by yourself, you found comfort in the familiar surroundings and your solitude.
