An Incredible Exchange of Love

May 24, 2017 by @candesscampbell

It was a long, snowy winter for many of us in the northern US and spring is a welcome change! I found myself sedentary and isolating, with the exception of my twice weekly jaunts to Spokanimal to cuddle and walk dogs. Having Domingo move to Dog Heaven in July 2016, my mantra has been “I’m not ready,” as I showed up week after week.

Domingo

It reminds me of the Three Bears story. There were several dogs I fell in love with but they were not just right.

In an intuitive image, I saw the dog that was coming into my life, but images are not always clear. I knew the dog would be light colored, with some curl to his hair and would barely shed. I talked to friends about Labradoodles and other dogs that may look like this. I actually ended up adopting a poodle, but Quinn and I were not a good fit, so I returned him so he was able to find his true home. I was on the right intuitive track, but he was not the right choice.

And then I found Gummidge. Not sure where the name came from but I found it is the name of a Scarecrow Character in an English Fairy tale.

I walked and cuddled Gummidge and I knew he was an Angel. I wanted to take him immediately, but had to get back to work and I also like to “sleep on things.” I pondered his name and decided I would keep Gummidge out of respect for him and add Angelo. Gummidge Angelo. We’ll call him Angel!

On the way home from Spokanimal!

Wednesday morning I was there as soon as the shelter opened and we became family! I loved having him with me in the car (and yes I do use a halter.)

A new home for Gummidge Angelo “Angel”

Immediately I was happier and had more energy. The next morning he walked me for 40 minutes and continues to walk me every morning for about an hour. The love energy exchange has been so healing. I realized with Domingo my previous dog, that it is the need to love something, to be other centered that is so healing. Not only that. When you have a companion that loves unconditionally, especially if you work helping others, or don’t have adequate family support; it can be amazing!

The infamous River Walk

Even my BFF Cheyenne energetically read my heart telling me about the increase in vibrational energy since Angel and I chose each other. He loves sitting at my feet in my office when I am working! I love it too!

Connecting with your Guides – Mother Mary and Mother’s Day!

May 9, 2017 by @candesscampbell

In continuing with the Lords of Karma and Connecting with your Guides, with Mother’s Day ahead, let’s focus on Mother Mary and another way of connecting with your guides. When you want to connect with Mary, you can grab your journal and write her a letter. Sit quietly and think about how you may engage with her in your life and then begin. Tell her what is happening in your life at this time and involve her in your journey. Ask questions, for support or tell her how powerfully she has impacted your life. I often ask Mother Mary to intercede when I am aware of a situation that is difficult and where someone needs help.

The Ascended Masters Lords of Karma are a group of spiritually enlightened beings, once mere mortals, who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation. They gained mastery over the limitations of the matter planes (state of consciousness that transcends the known physical universe), balanced at least 51% of negative Karma and fulfilled their Dharma or divine plan. An Ascended Master has become God-like and a source of unconditional Divine Love to all life, and through Ascension (spiritual enlightenment) has united with his or her own “God-Self”, the I AM Presence. They serve as teachers of mankind from the realms of Spirit and stand ready to assist them in their Ascension.

Mary

What you see through raised consciousness is the image of The Master Lady Mary, Mother of Jesus. Serving as the Motherly Source of Life on Earth, she bestows the energies of intuitive wisdom upon those females who aspire to leadership within the community and in world affairs and gives them courage to establish themselves securely in society.

One will find that The Master Lady Mary’s presence is with every pregnancy and birthing, regardless of circumstances. All Mother’s-to-be and mothers everywhere come under Her comforting and understanding ray of blessedness, no matter what their religious beliefs may be.

It is Mary who is also willing to help Humankind, as a whole, make a stronger connectedness with Nature’s elementals, stimulating the possibility of future co-existence, which could greatly benefit all life on Earth. With Motherly Love She cradles the Spirit of the Child-self within you.

Motherhood has its delights and challenges. Embrace Mother Mary and allow her to be a salve on your many scratches, bumps and mis-steps during this sacred process of launching a child into the world!

Communicating with your Guide or Loved One!

April 12, 2017 by @candesscampbell

This morning as I pondered what to share next in this series of Connecting with your Guides, I thought I would digress and share some backstory. As I embrace my own gift and abilities as a psychic I have become more aware of how it is I experience the realms or dimensions of life. Lately I have been struggling with being overly sensitive to energy and being “alert” or “on” too often. Let me see if I can explain.

For most of us, we are alone or when we are with others our awareness is about ourselves and also about the other person. The way I image it is two people across from each other, using all of their senses to connect with the other. Being connected to Guides and others who have crossed over much of the time creates more of a sense of being aware of a whole other level. Rather than focusing across at someone, for me it’s more like a channel going up that is open all the time. Because I am open and responsive to what I am being guided to do, it would be like being “on call” all the time.

Although much of my psychic ability opened up after a head injury (age 14) where I was in a coma for two weeks, I was already psychic and receiving information before then.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Curious about my NDE? http://bit.ly/2o6m7oz” quote=”Curious about my NDE? http://bit.ly/2o6m7oz”]

When I was a little girl, I remember sensing God in the heavens. Later, as an adult I could identify Guides too. It is common for your awareness to leave your body when you experience some kinds of trauma. It is like you are above watching yourself. This is called “Dissociation” and it is on a continuum from daydreaming to Dissociative Identity Disorder or what was previously called Multiple Personality Disorder. As a mental health counselor I saw this experience often with women and men who were sexually abused.

How it happened for me though, was around listening to my parent’s fight. That is not really a fair way to say it. It was more listening to my dad abuse my mom. Full disclosure here. I loved my dad. He was my main nurturer and taught me a lot. He was a binge alcoholic and blacked out when he drank and was abusive to mom.

As a child, sitting in my bedroom feeling scared and helpless, I prayed. Desperate in an attempt for help, the channel between heaven and me was firmly paved! I remember one night when they were fighting, I went out into the front yard and yelled up to heaven at the top of my lungs, “God, you stop this!”

Although this is a sad story, through counseling and journaling, I healed these memories and I value the connection I made with God. I learned to trust God (Jesus) and Guides over humans. This correlation between trauma and God though I believe set me on alert. I sense the suffering of the world and at a level beyond my conscious awareness, like it is on a whole different level.

The process today in Connecting with your Guides and those who have crossed over has to do with your own experience.

Close your eyes and bring up an experience that you want to focus upon. This can be whatever comes to you – positive or negative.

Now write a letter to God, your Guide, or Loved One who crossed over in your journal. Tell them what it was like for you, what you are feeling now, how you adapted, changed, grew from the experience and ASK for what you desire. Whether you want an intercession for yourself or someone else or you want help in shifting your resistance. Allow them to help you!

Let go and don’t micromanage the response to your healing or request. It will come.

Hope this self-disclosure was helpful.

Bless your Heart!

Vote!

November 8, 2016 by @candesscampbell

This is an incredible time to be alive and I am so grateful for the right to vote on this election day in the US. No matter who wins, focus on loving others regardless of their beliefs. We all have an opportunity to stop the polarization and remember that we live together on this growing, breathing planet.

Be compassionate, Be loving, Be Kind!

The Vampire Archetype!

October 19, 2016 by @candesscampbell

The creativity of your subconscious mind not only shows up in dreams, but also shows up as archetypes in your life. Archetypes are overlying patterns that show up in all cultures that are seeded in the psyche. Some examples of archetypes are mother, judge, teacher and healer. When you begin to look at these patterns in your life, you can unleash your creative energy.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Who are the Vampires in your Life?” quote=”With Halloween around the corner and an expectation of ghosts and goblins knocking at my door – I thought this would be a great time to share about the Vampire Archetype!”]

Many cultures are intrigued and fascinated with vampires. Vampires were mythological figures that lived off the essence of others by drinking their blood.

Honestly, they give me the creeps, but the adrenaline rush others get from the scariness of blood and gore may be part of the attraction. There is a seductive nature to the vampire as well.

A person with the Vampire Archetype tends to live off of the energy essence of others. Have you ever felt drained by someone you worked with, even if they didn’t talk much? Do you have people in your life that seem to steal your energy? Do you have friends that exhaust you just by being with them?

Maybe you have the Vampire Archetype. After spending time with someone, do you feel energized and then you notice they look like all the blood drained from their face. Do you find others avoid you? Do you come off as clingy or needy? Are you continually looking to others for validation or to make you feel better?

Historically, in many dramas, real or written, the Vampire Archetype has been featured in many male and female relationships. In these cases, there is eroticism between the vampire and his conquest. The female is repelled by the vampire, but also drawn into the sexual nature of the submissiveness. In this case, the male overpowers the female, taking her energy for himself. Today, this archetype may be underlying many domestic abuse situations.

[clickToTweet tweet=”A person with the Vampire Archetype tends to live off of the energy essence of others. ” quote=”A person with the Vampire Archetype tends to live off of the energy essence of others. “]

Currently, people are more aware of the energy around their body, of energy exchange, and how they feel when they are around others. A woman with a Vampire Archetype may come off as loving and helpful, but when she leaves, you may feel like she took a piece of you with her. She may continually ask you for more than you can give or do. She may complain constantly. Maybe you have had a relationship with a man and ended it and he won’t leave. He may continue to cling to you or even stalk you. The codependent relationship may fit into this category.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Do you have people in your life that seem to steal your energy?” quote=”Do you have people in your life that seem to steal your energy?”]

Rather than vampires looking gory and dressing in black and gray with blood dripping down, today they look like anyone else in your life. Much of my work for the last 25 years has been around energy and energy medicine. As an intuitive reader I look into the aura and the chakras of my clients and can see where they are losing power, where they are either giving their power away or being attacked.

When someone attaches to you or hits you energetically, you are drained, depressed and sometimes somewhat paralyzed. When you are managing your own energy within yourself and not enmeshed with others, not trying to control others or attaching to others, you feel good!

Previously, I psychically read a woman who had been attacked by another woman who was envious of her. She experienced being hit energetically. When this happened, she felt slimed. As soon as she identified this feeling, I was able to look at her energetically and see who hit her and why. I cleared her energy field right away and put up protection so this could not continue to happen. The person who attacked her has the Vampire Archetype. With further investigation, I understood the language the attacker continually uses is one of lack. She has a scarcity perception. She attaches to others and attacks others, for their life force, rather than understanding that she can fill herself up from within. Instead of being grateful, she focuses on what others have, turns green with envy and becomes toxic. Instead of being full of self-love and loving others, she is continually full of judgment and fear. Although she presents herself as being knowledgeable, slyly her toxicity affects everyone around her.

What do you do if you have a person like this in your life? You can learn to ground yourself and run your own energy (earth and cosmic) and set up protection. I have many meditation tools and videos you can access to do this on my website. You can focus in your heart and bring your attention up out of your crown chakra at the top of your head. See the person there and for three seconds see them receiving a ball of golden white Light, of Love from the Universe. Then let them go. Do this as often as you need to release them from your thoughts. It will be up to the person as to whether they will receive this clearing or not. You though, have in part cleared yourself from their negativity and their energy.

What if you have the Vampire Archetype? You can balance yourself by giving to others without expectation. First, keep your energy clear with the same meditation tools and videos I mentioned above and allow yourself to receive in ways that give you a sense of personal power and self-worth. You can volunteer or help out those around you. Find a counselor or life coach to help you heal the past so that you can be healthy in the present.

If you’re not consciously aware of your energy and how the Vampire archetype is affecting you, you may notice the vampire showing up in your dreams. You may dream you have an encounter with a person or an entity that drains you. You may be paralyzed or even gorier, lose blood. Whether the vampire image in the dream is fictional or someone you know, the vampire sneaks up and suddenly has taken your life force.

Dreams can be scary even though they are coming as a message from your Higher Self. Taking time to work with dreams can be empowering and guide you to take action in your life. If you want to explore your dreams, the book I recommend is Realities of the Dreaming Mind: The Practice of Dream Yoga by Swami Sivananda Radha.

By understanding and working with the Vampire Archetype, you will learn to protect yourself, or if it is your archetype to heal yourself and access your natural path of health and move toward your Divine Soul purpose.

Here is your chance to leave feedback about your experiences of people who have shown up as Vampires in your life! I will be happy to share with you some tools to protect yourself from being attached and losing energy!

Mothers are a Mixed Bag

May 1, 2016 by @candesscampbell

Spring came early this year in Spokane. It is usually around Mother’s Day that I buy the plants for my pots.

As a therapist I am too aware that Mother’s Day is a mixed bag for many. Some of us did not have great relationships with our mothers for whatever reason. As a psychic and medium, I have been able to help others reconnect with their mother after she passed and either communicate with her or understand why she did things the way that she did. I am so aware of how quickly we can loose people in our lives. My mother died expectantly at age 52. I wish I could have gotten over my “attitude” about what I didn’t get or how it should have been before she died.

In the mid 1990’s I did some deep inner work and re-mothered my inner child. Since then I have been helping clients re-mother themselves. I developed a process that I call What’s Wrong Little Girl. This of course could be changed for your inner male child. The process is below.

I wish I had accepted my mother just as she was. We all develop ways of protecting ourselves as we become shaped by our environment. Whether you become a victim, an avenger, withdrawn, or chaotic; we all do the best we can do at the time. It is as adults we have the opportunity to heal the past and be the best we can be in the here and now!

As you heal your own inner child and then re-integrate her back into your adult-Self, you are able to accept and love others, just as they are.

Enjoy the process and feel free to comment on your progress!

Journaling with your Inner Child

Write down

1. What’s Wrong Little Girl?

State the situation – Person said this, did this, etc. Respond to her by identifying her feelings.

2. I hear you were afraid, oh, you sound so sad, etc.

She responds with more information because she was heard.

3. Write more of what she has to say.

Ask her what she needs and listen!

4. She may need to go for a walk, to listen to music, take a bath, have a healthy snack.

Give her what she needs and promise her you will take care of her and DO IT!

She will learn to trust you again and soon she will integrate back into your adult Self and all will be so much better!
