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.

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!

Careful Whose Energy you Match!

May 20, 2016 by @candesscampbell

When I was taking Meditation classes at the Church of the Divine Man many years ago, they taught about “matching” other people’s energy. For instance, if you are around someone who is angry, you may match him and become angry. When you are matching someone who is peaceful, you feel peaceful. It’s important to be aware of others you spend time with and discern whether or not the feelings you have are yours or theirs.

A study I read (cannot find source) involved the growth of three plants. One plant was the control and the plant was watered without any variables. The second plant was watered with water where someone who was very happy and positive held the water for a period of time and the third plant was watered with water that was held for a period of time by someone who was clinically depressed. Of course, the result was the plant watered by the person who was happy grew the most; the control the second and the plant watered by the person who was depressed had stunted growth.

Physics has taught us that everything is energy and it makes sense that we affect each other in subtle and powerful ways. When I feel blue, a little grumpy, I listen to Abraham-Hicks on YouTube to shift my energy and raise my mood. Conversely, when I binge on sad music that I listened to as a young person such as Johnny Cash singing Sunday Morning Coming Down, I have to pick myself up off the floor!

My focus in my work for years has been to empower others to access their intuition and live at their highest vibration.

Today take some time to think about who energizes you.

Who helps you become your better Self? Who leads the way and makes it easier for you to excel and manifest your dreams. Think about who it is that drains your energy and leaves you feeling bad about yourself. Sometimes we can’t change who we are around, but we can use those who are motivating and inspiring to bring us back into balance.

Message from the Lords of Karma

April 8, 2016 by @candesscampbell

In my meditation with the Lords of Karma this morning, I received this message for the the Japanese participants who are attending the remote Karma Clearing workshop. I think it applies to us all.

“In the midst of the hurriedness and shifting of all the energy around you, it can feel like being in a hurricane. Be aware of the stillness within. As you imagine yourself being in the eye of the storm, you will allow the clarity from within. Make your meditation a priority in your life. Pull away and find stillness within. This will guide you in your life.”

If you have not connected with the Lords of Karma, you may want to choose one to read about and invite them into your meditation practice. You may want to start with Saint Germaine.

Guest Blog – DNA Activation

April 7, 2016 by @candesscampbell

Working with the Lords of Karma has been a ministry for me for many years now. This beautiful email from Dana is a blessing and a testament to why I do this service. Thanks to all who resonate with the Lords of Karma and shifting with the planet into a Higher Vibration.

DNA Activation
March 24th 2011
I wanted to write you an email to tell you about my progress after my DNA Activation session with you and the Lords of Karma. I have had a steady increase in vibrational frequency from the base physical all the way through to the spiritual. I know this because several areas of my life have changed dramatically. Beginning with meditation, not only has my meditation deepened (distractions are not nearly as dominant as they used to be) but I have noticed a significant increase in intuition and awareness of the higher dimensions (Spirit Realms). I have had physical confirmation of this in the form of heat, tingling, and vibrations in my pineal gland and all over body, physically feeling my Third Eye open, as well as the feeling of joy and love that is indescribable. I understand this to be contact with my Spirit Guides and my Higher Self and most importantly, God. The Lord is in all of us and I have always known this but I have never had such an overwhelming physical/Spiritual sensation to it before. This has brought about a deeper understanding of “Connectedness” for me. “Separation” truly is one of the greatest lies to humankind.

Physically I have noticed a change in my diet. I have always drunk a lot of water. I’m not much of a soda person or other such drinks. But now, I am almost unable to drink a soda at all. I am able to drink a few sips and then I have to throw it out. I just can’t manage to drink any more of it. A glass of water is constantly at my side. Equally I have noticed a desire for Natural Tea instead of Coffee. I have also noticed a huge decrease in cravings for meat and processed foods coupled with a huge increase in cravings for fresh vegetables. I have never been one to eat healthy before and every time I’ve tried, I’ve failed miserably. This will be the first times in my life that I actually choose to eat the salad versus the frozen burrito!

On a regular basis I desire to go outside in my back yard to be in the fresh air rather than stay indoors. This probably doesn’t sound very significant however; I have been a computer geek for over 20 years (professionally and otherwise). I have never before desired to be away from my computer for more than the time it takes to use the restroom or grab a sandwich. Now I’m sitting here and wondering how long it’s going to take me to type this up so I can go sit on my back porch and drink my cup of Tea that’s sitting here getting colder by the minute. (I can’t wait for summer!!) The local parks are going to see me for the first time come the first sunny day over 55 degrees F.

Probably one of the most important changes for me has been the inability to tolerate “untruth” in any fashion. I don’t want to use the word “Lies” because that’s not truly what I mean. An example, while talking to my mother on the phone, she made a comment that has always been a popular opinion of society and for the most part, acceptable (in truth it is negative thinking instead of positive). I usually can keep my mouth shut, just accept that it is just the way she has been taught, and let it go after a short and well “disguised” positive rebuttal. Apparently that isn’t good enough for me anymore. We didn’t fight, but I also didn’t steer away from the conversation until I had explained that changing the way we think about things is critical to changing the way our world works. Positive reinforcement over negative verbal attacks will always bring about positive change in any situation no matter the circumstance. “We create our own reality by what we choose to ‘believe’ and subsequently say, do, and think”. She seemed to understand but was a bit blindsided by my fervor. She loves me anyway and I’m thankful every day for my mother!

Apart of the most important changes I have experienced has to be my ability to “Let it go”. I now understand what it means to give up the illusion of control and no longer worry about the lives of anyone else (including my children). Don’t get me wrong, I love them and will always desire happiness and well-being for them. But I no longer am deceiving myself into thinking that I have the right (or ability) to judge or attempt to manipulate them into living differently based on what I would like for them. They are responsible for themselves and their own lives and reality. What they are living has been created by them, as it is for each human being on this planet. Instead of calling them on the phone and attempting to ‘talk’ them into different choices or living patterns, or running to their rescue when they ‘choose’ themselves into a bind, I now meditate and send them Divine Love, Joy, Peace, Knowledge, Truth, and Wisdom their way. I don’t need to say a word to them. Just continue to meditate creating a positive reality for myself and sending them the most positive and highest vibrational Divine Energy I can. The Lord will work out the rest. And surprisingly, I’m not a basket case!?!

I know this email is a bit long but I wanted to you know how much the DNA Activation session has allowed true change in my life. There are several other areas I could write about (increased creativity, energy to do housework, true intuitive communication with my Spirit Guides, etc.) but I just can’t wait to get outside and watch the sunrise. 

Please feel free to share this email on your website. I really enjoyed reading the testimonials there and I would be honored if you felt led to share this one as well.
Many blessings to you,

7 Steps to Intuitive Healing

October 9, 2015 by @candesscampbell

Don’t try to comprehend with your mind.

Your minds are very limited.

Use your intuition.

Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

When you hear the words intuitive healing, what comes to mind? Many people are searching today for information, healing, and guidance. Although I am an intuitive healer and reader, my focus is empowering others to use their own intuitive abilities.

Intuitive healing can happen on many levels. You can receive a healing on a spiritual, mental, emotional or physical level. These levels are all related, but illness begins in the etheric field (the energetic field around the body) before it happens on the physical level. Therefore it is important to take steps to heal on all levels.

Intuitive healing has a deep connection to the heart. You have a gentle, loving voice inside that guides you. This voice is a quiet voice and does not fight with or try to overcome the voice of the ego or the other voices within. Often we carry within a voice of a parent or authority figure. In psychology this is called an interject. It is important to discern between the voice that is coming from your intuition and the others.

Some refer to this inner voice as their Higher Self, their Guardian Angel, their Internal Coach or many other names. Whatever you call it is fine. Just know you are a reflection of the Divine and this voice is your connection to your own Divine Light. This Intuitive Voice is quiet and it guides you in many ways. It can also work with your intellectual or analytic mind when you are able to calm the constant mind chatter. The Intuitive Voice has access to Oneness and when you learn to hear and understand, you will begin to feel peace.

There are several ways to begin to hear your Intuitive Voice and to heal yourself on many levels.

Step 1. Be Still

Take time several times a day to stop and close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Scan your body from the top of your head down to your toes and just notice. Pay attention to any sensations and just notice. Be present in your body. Your body feels safe and you heal when you are consciously present in your body.

Step 2. Allow Yourself to Fall into Trance

You have a natural ability to heal and come into balance when you allow yourself to fall into trance. Just as when you dream, you have “ultradian rhythms” while you are awake. You may notice yourself falling into trance when you are at a stop sign or when you are washing dishes. This daydreaming or spacing out regulates your mind and body and allows you to access your Intuitive Voice without effort. Honor the natural rhythm of your body. This is a vital part of self-healing.

Step 3. Notice Your Beliefs and Self-talk

Your beliefs are attitudes, viewpoints, ideas, thoughts, values, perceptions and more. They are not the truth, but how you organize your view to make sense of the world and give it meaning. Notice your beliefs and what beliefs hold you back from having your desired life. Notice your self-talk.

When your self-talk and beliefs are negative your whole mind/body/spirit responds with a loss of energy and you attract to yourself negative life experiences. You can increase positive beliefs and self-talk and allow yourself to be more open to hearing your Intuitive Voice and receiving healing on all levels.

Step 4. Listen with Your Body

Your body is an incredible intuitive receiver. In order to heal fully and receive intuitive messages, you need to be aware and listen within. Your intuition can come through images, dreams, sounds, gut feelings, a sense of knowing, hearing or sensing. In the beginning, it is common to receive messages through your gut feeling. Once this happens ask yourself “what does this mean?” You may or may not get an answer, but it is important to use your gut as a tool. If you begin to do something and your gut alerts you, know it has to do with what you were doing or thinking. Last week I was going to go downtown Spokane and have dinner, a movie and listen to a friend play music. As I began to get ready I felt a sense of alertness and I heard a voice inside my head saying the word “alarm!” I had no idea what was happening, but the sense of alarm would not stop. Having had many experiences with my intuition, I knew to listen. I made the decision to stay home that night and the alarm ceased. Now, I could try to guess at what might have happened, but instead, I just affirmed myself for listening and went on. The more you listen to your Intuitive Voice, the more it shows up for you and the easier it is to hear.

Step 5: Access Your Self-Healing Energy

We all have subtle energy around us and we can use this energy to heal. Have you ever stubbed your toe and noticed when you put your hand on your toe it felt better. When you have been in pain has the healing touch of a loved one made a difference. You have this natural healing energy within you and you are a powerful healer. Tap into your body’s subtle energy and feel the energy in your hands when you put them on a loved one. You are surrounded by a colorful energy field that comes from the chakras in the center of your body. Take a moment to rub your hands together and then put them together palm to palm. Pull them away from each other gently and feel the powerful energy you have in your hands. This is your healing energy. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes.

Step 6: Practice Accessing Your Intuition

The best ways to access your intuition are through Meditation and through Viewing. With meditation you are able to quiet your mind and allow your Intuitive Voice to come through. This can happen either during the meditation or you can journal for a few minutes afterward and just let your intuition come through. Another way is to View. Viewing can be by being in your heart or the center of your head and imaging a white screen. On the screen allow yourself to see images and when they appear you can ask what they mean and just receive. You can also use Remote Viewing where you close your eyes and you can move through time and space. You can go into the past, the present or into the future. With remote viewing you can see someone at a great distance. This is often used by medical intuitives to help diagnose illness.

Step 7: Listen to Your Dreams

Your dreams are the place of Intuition. You receive symbolic images, messages and gain ideas and receive answers to your questions. You have access to the whole collective unconscious. Whether you remember them or not, you have between seven to nine dreams per night. This is during the REM state, where you have access to information and healing you cannot access in the daytime. Your dreams are a way that your Intuitive Self communicates with you! When you begin to honor your dreams and listen, they will show up for you more fully and guide you. There are many guides to dream work, and what I recommend is Realities of the Dreaming Mind by Sivananda Swami Radha. It is helpful to have paper and pen by your bed to collect your dreams as soon as you awake. They tend to fly away until you train yourself to catch them.

These seven steps can help you to be guided by your Intuitive Voice and create healing on all levels of your being. You cannot increase your intuition with your mind, but can access it through your heart. You must allow it to happen through ongoing gentle practice. Use the tools daily and validate your experience of Intuitive Healing.

Most people who know me say that I am calm. I think my tendency is to be able to see several sides of a situation and be to accepting. I have a good sense of taking responsibility for myself and looking at my side of a situation and how I have contributed to the problem.
