SIMON SAYS! WHO IS ‘SIMON’ ANYWAY?

Remember the game “Simon Says” from when you were a child? Follow these steps just for fun!  Come on it’s just a game:-) Simon says raise your left hand. Simon says put your hands on your hips. Simon says touch your toes. Simon says touch your nose.  Simon says clap your hands. Simon says blink your eyes. Touch your head. Simon says wiggle your toes. Simon says “say HOORAH!” Wasn’t that fun?! 🙂 Did you do everything Simon said? Maybe you found it silly or perhaps it made you smile to think of how it fun it was when you were little!

Now let me ask you something….did you touch your head? Did Simon say to do it? Of course if you didn’t touch your head OK, you know the game! If you did touch your head, well it’s just a game isn’t it? Or is it? 🙂 Practically from the time you are born you are “taught” to follow the rules, do what you’re told, mind your manners, don’t speak until you are spoken to etc.  You have to ask permission to do something or someone has to tell you to do it before you do.  Now of course, this is good for children but what happens when that energy carries over to your adult life?

The game Simon Says is actually a good example of programming and how it can control YOU. Simon, the control, tells you to do something and you do it. If Simon doesn’t say it…well, YOU LOST. You failed! You’re out of the game! No one WANTS to lose and not be a part of the game anymore! After all, your FRIENDS are still playing and YOU lost! 😦 Early on you figure out that the next time you play the game, all you have to do is make sure that you don’t do ANYTHING unless Simon Says you should do it.

Do you or did you have a “Simon” in your life? Are you waiting for Simon to say you can DO something? Or the flip side….are you spending so much time responding to all the rules and responsibility heaped upon you that you forget about creating your dream? Do you have a passion for something but find yourself waiting until….(you fill in the rest there)? Did someone at some point in your life tell you “YOU CAN’T DO THAT”? Are you waiting to be validated for your brilliant idea before you move forward with it? More importantly did you follow someone else’s “rules” about how your life should be up to this point?

Perhaps you answered “yes” to one or more of those questions. Well, I don’t know who Simon is but from a clairvoyant perspective I see controls and programming at work all the time. Many of the people I read are living their lives as “they are supposed to”.  Think about it this way, did anyone ever say to you “you’re out of control!” Now I ask you whose control are you out of? Can you imagine how my parents would have reacted if I responded to the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” with “I WANT TO BE A CLARIVOYANT HEALER!” Call me kooky but I’m pretty much thinking that might not have gone over too well!

When you become aware of and release the “Simon says” pictures that are indeed a part of all of us, you begin to heal the part of you that stops you from being who you truly are. The more of your own energy you bring in, and the more you focus on your own dreams….the more can create!

A wonderful friend of mine, Hemal Radia, Manifesting &  Law of Attraction,  has written this lovely quote “When we are doing what we are doing for the love of doing it, very present moment oriented, we are creating magic.” There’s a lot of truth in those words. When you become your own “Simon”, you can create your own magic! Follow your dreams & passions and come alive with the possibilities! Do what you love for the love of doing it, not because it’s what you “should” do. There is no time like the present to take a moment, look inside yourself and find your magic! If you’re having a challenge with this…I’ll help you out:-) SIMON SAYS FIND YOUR MAGIC!

Giving vs. Giving it Away

blueAs a clairvoyant and healer of spirit I’ve recently had the opportunity to give readings to some wonderful people. They all have different backgrounds &  jobs, live in various parts of the country and had very different questions they wanted answered. Before their readings, each one told me they had been feeling depleted and unable to “get things going”.  I looked clairvoyantly at these unique, individual spirits! All bright, beautiful beings in a great deal of growth & accelerated change. What I also noticed, was how much of their energy they had given away and the responsibility that they began taking on from others.

As a healer in my own right, not only do I recognize a healer but I often experience what it’s like to give it all away and to become responsible for someone elses growth.  I recognize this has happened if I’m feeling isolated, unable to create,  sad, angry or depressed for no apparent reason, and I can’t get things going in my own life.  I call it losing my space!

The common thread here is that each one of us is a healer!  We want to help people, listen to them, and make them feel better. If someone is angry or sad we want to cheer them up and make them happy again.  What often happens is that there is a tendency to give it all away. To give a piece of your brightness, YOUR precious energy,  to someone else in order to heal them. When you give away your energy you can feel depleted. You may also have taken on the responsibility for someone elses pain. This is particularly true when I look at energy workers, mediums or healing practitioners.

Here’s an example of what I mean. Are YOU the person everyone turns to when they are having problems? Have you ever been talking with someone felt so BAD for this person you couldn’t stop thinking about them and how to help? How about being so worried about…(whatever or whomever it is) that you could actually feel the pain? Have you ever felt like a dumping ground for other peoples problems?  If you’ve experienced  any of this you may have noticed that afterwards they may have said something like ‘thanks I feel better now’. Then the question is how did YOU feel afterward?

If you have given away your energy or taken on any of theirs,  my guess is  that you weren’t feeling so great! Now I’m not suggesting here that you shouldn’t help people and heal them but you don’t need to “match” what is happening with them or take on the energy and become responsible for what they are going through. You can support them, be compassionate, empathize, listen, hug them and hold their hand but you don’t need to actually FEEL and take on their pain, sadness, depression etc. In more simple terms, you don’t have to lose your space:-)

Here’s the good news…if you’ve lost your space you can get it back! It’s as simple as getting grounded, centered and creating the intent to call your energy back from wherever you left it. Bring your attention back to YOU! Allow your energy to flow back into you from the top of your head to the tips of your toes! Fill yourself up with your joy, enthusiasm, amusement and the unique energy of YOU, the bright being that you are and see what happens!~Shine your light Debbie 🙂
