Recently I went to a department store to buy some accessories for the “holidays”. Immediately upon walking among the people I felt tension, stress and even some energetic resistance. It was almost as if people were annoyed that other people were there. From a Shamanic perspective this makes sense, it’s a situation where a date is approaching and for most of us that means some preparations, breaks in routines and even meeting with people, especially those that we are bound to through family connections. It’s a whole bunch of different energies bundled into a tight couple of weeks and locations. All that compressed energy will naturally seek an outflow; and that’s where my advice comes in.

When there is abundant energy of any type in your surroundings, especially the uncomfortable one, choose to use it for positive creation. One of my master Shamans would remind me that there is no way to do harm to anyone when practicing healing if your mind is clear, your heart is pure and your intentions are defined. The same principle applies here, regardless of where you find yourself this season, take a couple of seconds to align and affirm yourself energetically. This is so much easier than it sounds. All you need to do is to take a deep breath, look in the direction of the Sky (Father Sky) or the Ground (Mother Earth) and smile. Next, within a second or two just place your attention above, below, In front, to the right, behind, to the left and finally back in front of you. That’s it! That alone will absolutely center and strengthen your inner vibration. After that moment, now you are ready to become the portal to bring Harmony, happiness, peace, tranquility, acceptance, love and patience to whatever you focus your attention to. You’ll see before your very eyes how people around you start relaxing and smiling, this happens subconsciously for them, but it is such a beautiful transformation to behold. Best of all it creates an ongoing ripple effect, which will eventually come back to you multiplied many times over. Be the catalyst for blessings and be blessed many times over!
