The Problem About Muse's

This darkness in me that lingers on my left shoulder digs deep into my soul, deep within my heart buried. The sadness I once felt, was once freed, but I cling to it in hopes to enjoying a solo life. You can’t stop the heart from beating all you can stop is the pain from flowing. The body remembers though. The body will never allow you to forget this existence here on earth. You came here to feel so feel. 

He screams at me to let him go. He was the last pieces of sanity I had. I stopped letting myself feel after him. Terrified to love. He broke me completely, the pieces that I’ve had to rebuild will never be the same. But the same is far from what I want to be. The world was a brighter place with him, and has only ever been dark since the end. How long must one grieve, before the satisfaction of ones love has given with time alone. 

I let him take my voice, I let him take the one part of me that gave me joy. Which was to write my heart out. I thought he was my muse. How foolish when the world has so many wonders in it that to leave your creative energy to one single human who has, and will never hold importance over my own divine being. 

And yet, I let it happen. 

How upsetting that I could ever allow my burning desires to create in the world lie in one soul who could easily toss my beauty, my rage, my intelligence, my value to the wind as if only sand. How dare he. How fucking dare he. My worth, my fucking confidence has been shattering year after year waiting for him to return to put me back like a puzzle. How idiotic I’ve been waiting, holding out for. A fucking boy. Truly in all aspects was a boy, especially in all areas that related to love. In the same breath I look at my own shame at allowing one individual dismantle me so. In that very same breath I thank him. Because he has taught me he was never worth it. All the worth was always in me. 

I am no longer scared to love but instead I’m opening my arms to truly be seen. To be supported by a man. I say man in the truest form I understand. I, of course mean the energetics of the masculine as the universe sees fit. Physical man or woman is only a constraint of the mundane. The deeper truth is love is love. I am the divine feminine, bold, beautiful, wild and free. 

I am a writer full of passion, joy, deep insights and even deeper inner truths that want to be painted into letters flowing to words. Like the running river who’s source of power comes from the skies above. As rain falls, so have the tears down my face. If I begin to forget, I return to the one thing that ever truly makes sense in this life, and that is that, I am nature. The more this world pulls us from the trees, streams, flowers, rocks, the more you have to remember. You are as nature. A power, a force to be recon with. Let nature nurture you back to a self of whole. Let it plant, grow, illuminate, die, fall, and begin its cycle over and over again. Let the great writers of ones destiny wake the hush in you that wishes you to remember this simple, and constant truth.

For this existence is your muse.

With all my love,
E

Taking Your Power Back

A mountain does not ask for its power, it simple stands strong in it.

How does one just stand in there power?

When it comes to living a more intuitive and spiritual life, being extremely energetic and living in the world that we are in, it means having to balance our inner world with our external world. Of course what is most important is that the inner world is, as best as possible, peaceful first. Usually in doing the inner work, the outer world without too much work should balance itself out. As lovely as it would be to be a monk in a cave and not have to interact with others outside, is not the world we live in. Which in the past to find enlightenment, spiritual/emotional/mental truths, was the way we did it. It is no longer really practical for the mass consciousness nowadays. 

Taking your power back when it comes to your path means looking first at the root of where you first lost it within this life. Inner work. When we come into the world as an infant we are pure innocent beings, our truest soul I would say. And then life happens, molding us to be able to survive in the world. Our environment, family, friends, life experiences, upbringing all affect us and we learn how to live in this world. We at times give our powers to others because it became easier, or a learned behavior, to survive or deal with the external world. You, whether consciously or subconsciously, ended up giving your power away. The truth of the matter, you are the only person who can give your power away to others. Though luckily you can work to take it back. Therapy, meditation, Reiki, diving into the psyche and how it works, amongst self study becomes very important in uncovering deep truths to how to retrieve it. Setting healthy boundaries with all the individuals who took it is a big step. Which can be done with the physical person or within the psych if you are unable to inperson.  

Now we are all mirrors to each other, especially to the ones we love. Family, friends, and romance. So they are the best gauge of where we are at in our healing/growth journey. As mentioned, interacting with others and not living the isolated monk life is where our work as a whole lies. To aid in this instead of icing people out, let us first start asking why am I icing people out? Do I need to ice this person because they are truly harming me, or is it fear? Where does this fear come from etc. Once you've gone ahead and figured out the inner why. Which on a tangible term feels like an aha moment, or has an emotional response (crying, especially for the feminine energy) we are clearing away patterns to better understand oneself, and whether we still want to engage in said lesson.

I understand this is not the most direct answer to our question to how one stands in their power. Though I feel like it is the beginning of one diving into the inner work that is being called forward. 

No one person outside of you has the answers to your life, including myself. This is your life and you get to choose how to live it, and that alone is taking the power back in your life. Making choices for yourself, listening to your inner guidance, and what feels right from the heart. Be led by your heart, if you feel something... good! It means you are truly living the human experience.

Take your power back, stop giving it away to others. You are able to make the best decisions, actions, choices for yourself. Be curious on your journey self empowerment, that alone will start shifting energy and opportunities around you.

Raw, Unedited, and Authentic

Do you ever catch yourself in a perfectionist mindset where you’re trying to make what you put out in the world perfect? If you’re a creative individual like myself, wether through your writing, painting, sculpting or any form of creating medium you work with you’ve most likely been here.

I’m not sure exactly when it happened but all of a sudden I started letting that little voice in my head get the best of me…I also let others get in my head when it came to my blogging. My grammar was bad, my sentence structures didn’t make sense, spelling was wrong, I wasn’t using the right words and on, and on, and on, it went. I was embarrassed to put anything out in fear that others would judge me and my writing/work. Until finally I just stopped posting my blogs completely. I literally have so many blog post that I’ve been wanting to share, but because I’ve been waiting for someone to edit, better yet “fix” my raw writing I haven’t posted anything.

It wasn’t until my last energy healing session with a beautiful light sister did I realize that I needed to stop listening to the voices and just put my words out there. No matter what. These voices that were keeping me small, that I had to be perfect, instead of letting my raw, unedited words out into the world. It was time. No more holding back, just me, remembering deep within myself how imperfectly perfect I am.

I’ve been writing since I was a kid, and have always loved the words that seem to flow through me onto paper or through typing. I truly wish to share more with you all, though in doing so I recognize that what I will be putting out will not always be the easiest to read. What I think is important is that I’m willing to learn how to work on being a better writer and learn as I go. I am far from perfect, we’re all far from it. With this truth I feel like I can show up authentically as myself. Mistakes and all. As it is through our mistakes that we are able to grow, and I love growing.

I love writing about spirituality, healing, growth, self care, divination tools, plant medicine, and life experiences, channelling and cannot wait for you to read what I have to write.

Looking forward to sharing with you my raw, unedited and authentic self. As I allow myself to show up errors and all I hope this allows you to do the same. Because you’re perfectly imperfect.

With love n’ light,

You're Never Too Much

She cringed as the words flew from their lips. “You’re being too much for me right now.”

It wasn’t the first time she heard those exact words directed at her, yet it stung just the same. Why was it that these words stung so? Because she was and has always been an energetic soul, since birth, who felt a little outta place. There was so much life in her and only the world to explore!

So why was it that every time she heard those words directed at her she went inward and began dulling her light, her essence, her very being? It was that in her love for others around her, especially her friends and family. When they expressed that she was being too much she thought keeping herself small would make them more comfortable. Which it did for a while. There was a small amount of peace, for a time. Until she started to get excited about life again and started doing, being, and acting more, making those around her more uncomfortable again. So in a vicious cycle, they would tell her to stop again, and she would listen until one day…

Her own healer told her “Maybe it isn’t that you are too much, but they are too little.”

Then it hit!

Like a lightning bolt.

All this time she was staying the same small, dull, and sheltered person because she thought it was helping others when in reality it was quite the opposite. By herself not being the brightest most illuminating self, she didn’t challenge others to join her. In her exploration of who she came here to be, she had lost her way. People don’t like change, we all know this, but change is good, and honestly going to happen whether one likes it or not.

Her biggest fear was that she would be left alone being bold, and too much on her own. Though this wasn’t the case. Sure some people faded away, and others who were once close became not as close as they once were. For a little while, she felt lonely but slowly others started to notice her. So instead she found herself surrounded by others who wanted in on this energy, and better yet wanted even more!

It’s ok that others can’t keep up with you, because maybe they’re not ready yet. They might be one day, but you shouldn’t hold yourself back to make them comfortable. In that scenario, you are doing both yourselves a disservice. In the end, you only have control over your actions, so you get to choose to live your “too much” life when you choose to. If they want to join you, awesome! There is more than enough room in the world for everyone! If they aren’t ready yet, you can wish them the best on their journey, which who knows maybe one day might change. Maybe one day they will decide that they’d like to be more, and maybe you’ll be the one to inspire that. Who knows! All you’ll have to know is that you are allowed to be as much as you’d like to be! That’s it!

It might not be that you are too much, it might be surrounding yourself with people who are keeping you too small.

Excited to be back blogging, too much and all!

With love n’ light,

To My Hummingbird Souls

She sat on her couch quietly, book in her lap, not quite reading it as her eyes were set gazing outside the window. It was a cool day, overcast, and it seemed like the whole day the clouds were on the verge of misting the air with rain. Yet it never quiet managed. Letting out a soft sigh she took in this moment. Feeling more grounded than she had ever felt. She would say in her life, but that didn’t feel quiet right because, she did have distant memories of moments of calm, peace, and tranquility during her childhood. 

Present. That's the word she was looking for. Now, for the first time since this whole pandemic hit she could say she felt present. The world, so well versed in distracting her from anything that truly mattered, was silent here. Allowing this moment.

There was no more getting away to a coffee shop to blog, no more running off to work, traveling to far off places. No thousand coffee, lunch, or shopping dates with friends to catch up. No distractions of what to buy next, to work towards, to travel to. Those days have been long replaced with staying still. Truly still. Her birthday, which was last year, spent swept away making pasta on rooftops of Rome, was traded in for a quiet birthday in her city. It was a hard birthday because she realized something she hadn’t before. She was always running. Towards, away, from, around, it didn’t matter because she was always running tirelessly. She couldn’t remember the last time she stopped.

Taking a sip of her peppermint tea, feeling the warm herbal water fill her soul, she paused again. She was getting good at that. Stopping never sounded like something that she ever wanted to do before. There was so much out there in the world and it was full of adventures, mysteries, excitement, experiences, and she wanted to try them all. And by the gods, she did. Yet now, even though the urge to jump to the next adventure lives in her, she’s realizing more and more that it’s absolutely perfect being exactly where she is. That this moment alone is worth more than a thousands moments wishfully trying to be somewhere, someone, or something else. That this moment was just as perfect as any of the others before. Yet she wasn’t trying to fight for it to happen, it was effortlessly and gracefully just being a moment. One she knew she would carry with her for years to come.

A friendly reminder to all those who, like a hummingbird, are trying to find the best spot for nectar. Sometimes that spot is exactly where you are.

Flight Attendant to Channeling Crone

For the last at least 5 years I would tell everyone I was done flying. That I knew what I was wanting to do, needing to do. I wanted to jump into my spiritual work fully yet, I never did. I just bitched and moaned I would, complain about the long flights I had to do. Complain that my job felt like it had no real purpose, besides transferring people from point a to b. Not saying I was ungrateful…I know it sounds like I am but I did have an amazing job, with benefits, amazing crews, travel perks, tons of free time off and so on. I just felt like this can’t be it for me.

I had this burning love for spirituality, meditation, psychology, dream work, energy healing, crystal work, plant medicine, intuitive readings, tarot, yoga and so so much more in this field. Yet was scared of leaving the security of my cushiony job in the pursuit of what my heart and soul was calling me to do. Which was becoming fully immersed in my Witch services. As time has moved forward and less support for Canadian airlines are no where in sight, I’m being pushed not only by the universe to get out of flying, but also by my own soul to provide you more of well, me!

I’m not a thousand percent sure what that looks like for me. Fully deep diving into providing alternative and holistic health services that I do. What I do know is that I need to keep taking every day one step at a time, listening to my own personal spirit guides, angels and ancestors to guide me. In doing so I will also be sharing more channeling messages from the spirit world. As true Crone energy would.

These messages come through my own personal spirit guides, ascended masters, and lord Buddha himself! With that my channeled message for you, the reader.

Message:

”The guidance (intuitive nudges) we receive as humans through the spirit world should be taken at times when the world tells us to stop, and re-evaluate our lives. What once was serving you may not be serving you any more. Ask yourself, have you heard the call of your soul when it comes to following what you truly want to be doing? Have you stopped with the rat race mindset and allowed soul to take the wheel? Have you listened to those whispers? We see you sitting in your chair asking “well how do “I” (ego “I”) even know what you’re trying to tell/guide me towards?”, Which to we reply get out of your own way and stop denying the messages that are coming through. What would you love to do? First thought is your answer, trust us, yes it’s that simple. Now begin to take the steps towards accomplishing it. Get creative! The world has slowed down so you can gather your foundation and footings. For when the time is right you will be ready to jump in leaps and bonds.”

Well thank you spirit, for that message. We hear ya loud and clear! If you’ve made it to the end of this reading and have read the message that has been channeled, well it’s meant for you! Your own intuition guided you to have stumbled on this post, and that message yes, is for you! Now take the message and apply it to your life, there is no wrong way of living only that you live it to your fullest, with all the passion, soul driven, and your high vibe self!

With that, this soon to be retired flight attendant, is leading by example as always! Soreing to new and different kind of heights!

With all the love n’ light,

Inspire To Chase Desire

Here’s the thing about being your own boss lady, or really any entrepreneur in fact, finding and being in a constant state of inspiration can be damn hard to chase/find within yourself. I’m here to let you in on my little secrets I’ve found on how to light your fire again when it comes to chasing after your passions! This whole staying at home because of a pandemic thing has lead me to realize two major things. This blog post comes from a time in my life when my inspiration was lost and shares how I got back to being the little inspired Witch that I am.

I fell into a couple of traps.

Numero uno, I had gotten friggin’ lazy working for my goals and just did the bare minimum so food could be on the table. Which I’m still super grateful that I’m able to eat, pay my bills and have clothes on my back pretty well effortlessly! But things had stopped moving forward. Number two I had stopped investing in myself which by doing so stopped the flow of the universe. When I started to reinvest into me and my passions my life mission became clear and inspired once again. Once I showed the universe I was willing to work for it, the return has been tripled ten fold!

My mission is being of service for you lovely beings who either book a healing session with me, tune into my blogs, talk meditation together, learn about essential oil plant medicine, and all the other goodies I love sharing knowledge on. You gotta keep investing in yourself to keep your inspiration, and the reason why you’re doing what you’re doing, alive.

Now I can hear your voice in your mind going, “but Emma how do I get inspired when I’m in such a slump?” So here we go, my little list of how to get your booty moving and get inspired for that dream life you’re going to achieve!

1. Invest in yourself! What does that mean? Well my friends it means stop buying unnecessary things online, your daily coffee at Starbucks, and especially going out to eat for every meal and start putting that money into yourself! Get that online workshop you’ve been thinking might help you boost your knowledge on how to market yourself. Go to that retreat that might be more than you budgeted for, but have faith that the universe has your back to get all your finances in order to go! Put money into finding a brander, or better yet take a course on how to brand! Honestly I know a lot of people who say “well you can learn it for free on YouTube”, which you definitely can. However, I have found that when I want to take my time more seriously, and to filter though all the information that is out there, I find someone who inspires me and look into what they are offering or teaching. I also find that when I pay for it I take it more seriously. It’s like “well I paid good money so imma get my moneys worth and put this to use!”. Now ask yourself, without thinking too hard, what have you been hemming and hawing over doing for yourself? Ok now stop thinking and go apply, purchase, or commit to it! Done are the times of other people making your meals and instead fuel yourself with your own home cooking! If ya know what I mean.
   
   

2. Music. Oh sweet, sweet music how one minute can take me down my deepest and most sad emotional landscapes to another moment getting me outta my chair and dancing the boogie woogies! Music is inspiration in its self, allowing it to altar your emotions if you allow it. So when you’re sitting typing away on your computer, being immersed in your easel and paint, or even walking your puppers, allow music to enfold around you and tune in to the language of music to flicker the light of inspiration in you. Truly tap into the mysteries of music by letting it altar your emotions into inspiration. When I know I need to focus and get some work done I put my sound canceling headphones on and let music guide my inspirations, flipping through playlists on Spotify till I find that one play list to zone me in. Et voila! Instant inspiration!
   
   

3. Get your body moving! Exercise is a moving meditation that allows you to connect to your body. Working out, or just moving the body builds fire in the muscles, lungs, and heart. This energetically unblocks areas of the body that might be holding old views, beliefs, ideas, and emotions! Fire, or Rajas energy in yoga, brings change, movement, and passion! So to keep your self feeling inspired and passionate for life you have to keep shedding the old in order to keep things fresh and exciting! Also make sure to switch up your exercise routines, this helps re-wire the brain to thinking and moving differently, which allows you to access other parts of the brain. Where some neuron path ways weren’t lighting up by doing the same thing over and over, when you do something new the brain wakes up and these pathways begin to light up again/differently. Which ends up lighting you up!
   
   That’s it my loves! That’s what I do to help and keep me inspired to keep chasing my desires! Now these aren’t the only ways to bring inspirational energy into your life. But hey! Why not try one of these if you haven’t recently or haven’t ever! Keep trying new things, keep growing and keep getting inspired by this crazy thing we call life.
   
   With Love n’ Light,
   Emma, TWW

Relationship Advice From a Non-Expert

I would consider myself blessed to grow up and know what a happy, healthy, and loving partnership is. My parents who are still together, after 4 kids and over 25 years of marriage, taught me what to look for when it came to a romantic relationship. The fact that they still really truly love each other makes their relationship one of the most awe-inspiring things to grow up wanting to attain. Though it wasn’t the easiest to put into practice, it’s a lot more work than anyone wants to admit. After quiet a few trial and errors myself in the world of love I’m here to talk about relationship advice from a non expert. I’m someone who’s lucky enough to say I’ve been in many relationships that taught me about (and especially how to be in) healthy, happy, love filled relationships.

After all the honeymoon, fuzzy feelings, freaky nasty passionate sex you’ve been having has slowed down you’re left with another human being to have a relationship with. Not just that, but a romantic one! So here is what I’ve learned about how to get myself in to happy, healthy, and truly long-lasting loving relationships. I’m not perfect, but hey! These have worked for me.

The number one thing before you start trying to be in a relationship with another is making sure you love yourself fully first. This, and know who you truly are. The thing is, one of the hardest things to do is love yourself. Only once you’ve gotten down to the nitty-gritty of the aspects that you hate, shame yourself, or feel guilty for and instead have chosen to forgive, and accept them can you open up and allow love in. If you don’t love your dark sides the universe will only send you partners that mirror those parts you “dislike” and teach you what you haven’t learned. The teachings of how to love these parts of yourself, allows you to have gratitude towards past partners, yes even the “bad” ones. It might be hard but try and mirror back the qualities in your past partners that you didn’t like and find it within yourself. Once you find it try and find where it stems from (birth, childhood, teenage years etc.), If you can’t all good too! Simply acknowledging it is a step into healing/forgiving. Have you also ever noticed that the moment that you let go of chasing after relationships and you’re truly content on being on your own that that seems like moment the universe throws someone into the picture? Pretty much this is the universe going “ok cool, you’ve accepted this version of you, now let’s see what you’ve learnt”. With that, make sure before jumping into the next relationship you’ve looked yourself in the mirror and smiled so big at yourself because you truly love the person in front of you. Inside and out!

Ok, now the universe has brought someone pretty amazing into your life and you’re all like “ I like them but now what?” This is where you practice being clear in your communication! This is huge, especially during the courting days, when you’re starting to get to know one another. Be clear about what you want in a relationship, what your boundaries are mentally, emotionally, and physically. Be clear and don’t shy away from big things you want, whether it’s having kids later on, wanting to move abroad for a bit, or what kinda of relationship you’re looking for. At the end of the day I’ve found that if you’re able to communicate your needs fully no matter if you think the other person will approve or not is extremely important. It’s also the best way to figure out fast if this person is right for you, without wasting each other’s time. If they aren’t willing to accept what you’ve laid down, or at least willing to talk more/compromise then “bye bye” I say! Key point be open and willing to let a potential partner know your needs, and future goals. This will allow you to start on a good foot communicating within your relationship. The majority of problems that arise in a relationship have lead from some sort of miscommunication.

One last thing I’d like to advise on is that you’ll not always get along, and that fighting is healthy! Now the fighting I’m talking about is love based, most often where there is concern for their health and safety, and not that of controlling/abusive behaviors. At any point if your partner is physically, mentally or emotionally controlling you seek help or end things very quickly. If you live in BC Canada you can find help and more information if you think you’re in an abusive relationship by Clicking Here. The kind of healthy fighting I’m talking about is the ability to not always have to agree on everything. Having different friends, hobbies, views, and interests is very normal. Being able to agree to disagree is a great quality in a relationship. Sometimes you might disagree on lifestyle choices ie. smoking, eating, who you hang with, and so on, your partner should be able to bring this up with you, but a reminder that at the end of the day it is still your choice how you decide to live your life. Now, if your partner has concerns with any of them and you get in a heated fight, try and know that the feeling of anger comes from fear. Fear from wanting to make sure their loved ones are safe in all aspects, and they are just voicing their concerns. This is where that communication piece comes into play. After the heated fight breaks out and you’ve both had time to come cool off, you should be able to come back to one another and have a disscussion about why you’re both fighting. You still don’t have to agree or change but to listen to their concerns whole heartedly. Though, because you love them and you want to build a life with them their concerns should matter to you. Fighting in a relationship is healthy, abuse is not. Love isn’t just the easy and fun stuff, as much as we all want it to be, though working through the harder stuff is what makes being in a relationship worth it.

I hope you’ve received everything you’ve needed when it comes to relationship advice from a non expert. With that, here’s your neighbourhood light witch signing off!

Love the Life you Live

Life for me is about filling my day with the things I love, making time no matter what to fill it with all that lights me up. When I talk to people I almost never ask typical questions because they don’t excite me. I’ll usually ask you questions like, “If you weren’t scared what would you love to be doing right now?”, “What is your biggest passion?”, “If you died tomorrow what would be your biggest regret?”. These kinds of questions help me put life into perspective. I ask others these questions because I ask myself them all the time. I never want to live a life that didn’t have me jumping out of bed, or regretting not doing something when I die. So I take the leap and just do all that makes me happy and fills my heart with joy. Life is truly about living, remember this, even after you’ve read this blog that’s all you remember. Just remember it well, life is truly about living!

That’s the only difference in how I live my life next to the next person. I make either a mental or actual list every morning after my meditation on how I want to achieve, do, see, eat, that day that will fill my soul with passion and light-heartedness. Making sure every day has at least one thing in it that makes it better than the last. It’s all things that I know will make me happy that make life worth living. Whether it’s making a healthy breakfast, blogging, calling up my bestie, planning my next adventure, getting on my yoga mat, making a random person I meet to laugh, or making steps to the dream future I want! I make time for it, prioritize the day on what I need most that day and go from there. If for instance, I’m not able to do one thing that day that lights me up I reevaluate how I can do it the next day, and make sure no excuses it gets done. As humans I find we make so many excuses as to why we aren’t doing what we love. That’s where we differ I believe, I cut the bullshit and stop making excuses and just do it. People usually respect you more when you tell them “Hey sorry I can’t meet up right now I have to do this (name the thing you would absolutely love to be doing to have your heart sing then and there) because my soul is needing it.” If they get mad at you that’s their issues, your life isn’t about making them happy it’s about making you happy first and foremost.

Lastly my social media bit, on looking at other’s lives with rose-colored glasses. I’m in the same boat as the next person getting caught up in the social media rabbit hole. On looking on other’s lives thinking their lives are so cool and wanting my life to look similar. The thing is you aren’t living their life! You are living yours and trust me your life and what excites you and brings you passion, it isn’t gonna be the exact same a there’s so don’t try to make it! Get inspired by others but don’t let what they do make you forget what inspires you! I usually try this to keep me loving the life I have instead of comparing myself to others. I look at there life and what thery’re doing and I ask myself “Ok, their life is cool and it’s working for them, but how can I do it better or so that it suits me?” Then take steps towards it.

With that, go out there and start living the life that gets you jumping out of bed! Fill your day full of what you love doing, not on what others are doing! Know that your dream life is just a step a day away from being there! If you can’t think of anything that lights you up lately, maybe because you’re in a heavy spell of depression, or you just broke up with who you thought was your dream partner, or maybe your dream yoga studio didn’t pull through try something small. Like eating at least one meal that’s healthy to make your body happy which makes you happy. Remember life is about living, so fill it even a little with what makes your soul sing!

Dōing the Switch

Moon, oils and me I’ve jumped ship! Bye-bye Young Living, hello DōTERRA!

You may or may not have heard but I’ve decided to make the switch from Young Living oils to DōTERRA oils. Which honestly I’m super excited about, and can’t wait to be a wellness advocate! Now if you’re in the essential oil world this is talk worthy but for me honestly, it wasn’t a huge decision making the switch. It felt like it was a great path to walk towards! Opportunity wise, for my own personal growth/healing, and what I’ve been lacking in my life recently in joining a wellness-focused community here in BC. It’s funny when I first was approached to start a Essential Oil small business a year ago, DōTERRA and Young Living approached me at the same time! So I took it as a huge sign from the universe on that this was going to be apart of my path. After a year with Young Living, I was debating on leaving, and not even a week from this thought of calling YL and letting go of my essential oil supply and what I call “healthy addiction”. A good friend and fellow student from my aromatherapy class approached me with DōTERRA and reignited my flame, and allowing my “healthy obsession” to continue! So here is why I decided to take her up on the opportunity.

First and foremost I won’t be talking smack on either company, on who says what against who, and who claims this or that. At the end of the day as long as everyone is trying to make happy healthy choices in the wellness industry and is coming from the right heart-centered place its all that matters to me. I’m an Essential Oil junkie ask anyone who knows me and they know that I never leave home without them! Now with that said the reasons I made the switch! Please also note that these are all my personal reasons and aren’t based on anything but what I noticed between the two Oil Companies:

Firstly and the biggest reasons is….YL Oil blends all kinda smell the same. Like honestly my nose would have the hardest time trying to find the difference between two blends but couldn’t! I looked into it and found that a lot of their blends have the other blends within another blend. A lot of their blends are also complicated to the nose with up to as many as 20 oils in one blend! When I was taught in school the max should be no more than 5 single oils in a blend! So let’s just say I’m looking to simplify my life and decided to simply what oil blends I use first.

Secondly, I felt alone out here in an oily sense and personal as well. Most Young Living peeps live in Alberta, making it hard to feel supported or connected in BC. I love surrounding myself with like-minded health/wellness/oil-loving individuals and find that the community in DōTERRA is a lot more involved in there people all over the world! And just that, interested in the people, groups, and individuals themselves first before trying to sell them a product! By nature humans are social creatures and when we feel part of something especially a group we can achieve anything, be supported, and help one another! So in wanting to reach out to my community and because I’m a believer that we need more human connection I decided to go with a company closer to home, and concentrated on the people coming together.

Lastly, the business side of it is a lot more manageable and achievable! Especially next to Young Livings set up. With a clear way of how to grow your business off the ground, step by step guides, and support like no other within the DōTERRA community. Being the ambitious individual I am and love the idea of making some extra sustainable cash on the side has made me excited to connect with others in helping them with a small business where I believe in the products, the message, and the opportunities they offer! On top of charity’s, I can get behind. The why I’ve decided to be apart of DōTERRA business to continue sharing the abundance with others, growing inside and out not limiting myself in the I cants anymore and knowing that my life can be anything I want it to look like. Surrounded by people who are just as ambitious, growth orientated, and hungry for wellness and wealth opportunities!

I won’t lie I will miss the Thieves cleaning line from YL which I haven’t found a better natural cleaning line yet that smells divine and works like a gem. But to be fair if that was the only thing I’m going to miss from YL I know I’m making the right switch, and I can’t wait to give the OnGaurd Cleaning line a try! I’ll let you know what I think! Planning on teaching classes on oils, co-teaching yoga classes, and more! Feeling revived and excited about where life takes me next when it comes to Oils!

If anything I have said has caught you're interested in wanting to learn more or ask questions on DōTERRA oils get in contact either on my contact page, comment below, or hit me up on my Instagram @healingwithemmah!

With that peace out, and go roll some oils on yourself will ya! Loving words from you’re newest DōTERRA Wellness Advocate!

Let Love In

I've loved again, and again, and again, and again, and...well you get the picture. The thing is I find myself once again in the position of having to open up and allow love in. Every time I tell myself I won’t love again. Every time after my heart has broken to a thousand pieces, every time I've cried my eyes out, gotten ridiculously depressed, have lost myself in another, have had to go on a spiritual vision quest, moved homes, written enough teen angst poetry I find myself back to love. Not gonna lie I'm usually kicking and screaming, but it finds me just like the Stephen King film The Shinning where Jack Nicholas is coming through the door with an ax yelling “Here’s Johnny!”



Here’s the funny thing about love that after all the true deep loves I've felt in this life, is that you just have to keep opening yourself up to love. As much as it hurts, as much as you're scared of it, as much as you told yourself not again. The thing is we all want love, true deep romantic love. Don’t get me wrong if you don’t want someone else in your life or many who knows I don’t judge. One thing rings true 99% of people when I'm reading their palm, cards, energy all have a little spark of light ignite when the mention of a romantic partner is on the horizon. We all want love, whether its fulfilled by you or another. After all the partners I've truly loved, they have all taught me so much and showed me all forms of love, in all beautiful outlets. I know I’m not the only one to say that they wouldn’t be the person who they are if they had been with people they have once deeply loved. Love changes you. Cliche I know but true, the core of who you are stay's but you soften or become stronger depending on the love the universe laid in front of you. 



Some are soul mates, some are twin flames (yes they can come and go within one life), some are lust love drivers, some are life partners, some are teachers or mirrors, some are challengers, some are just to lighten your spirits again, and others become nothing but fleeting moments on a hot summers breeze. But one thing is certain even if for one stare that saw you for all of you with true utmost love, was love. Sometimes all it takes is a moment of loving someone that crashes all of who you thought you were because they could see all of who you could be and so much more.



I’ve been there, trust me, telling myself not to love again, and oh ya I push hard to keep love away. The universe is sneaky you see and will open you up to love whether you like it or not. Even if you’re not completely ready it will challenge you to heal, to grow, and to allow love in again. The choice is though is how bad you want love true deep authentic love. To be loved for all of you and I mean all of you, even the parts you hate the most. The universe has nothing but to meet you where you are at with how much you’re wanting to be loved. Not only by another but by who you truly are. If you’re still hiding aspects of yourself within your shadows your partner will reflect that within where you are in that relationship. Sorry to lay down a truth bomb but the thing you hate or get annoyed with your partner is usually the thing that you haven’t accepted in yourself. Showing you your ugly truths.



So if a relationship doesn’t work out I never think of it as that you weren’t right for each other but that you two couldn’t truly accept the parts of you that you didn’t like at that time. And that is ok! Because who knows maybe not that day, month, year or years, or even within this lifetime, but the one thing that stays true is that there was love. If you felt it that's all that matters. You don’t have to convince anyone that they did or didn’t love you, at one point if you felt it then that's all that matters. Also, know the universe sees more of the truth than you ever will. So if you really, really thought you were supposed to be together but aren't there is a reason, I will promise you this. You might not see it right away or maybe ever, just know the universe, your guides, your angels, your ancestors were and are looking after you. Even if you think they’ve turned a blind eye they are and were always there, sending you small hints that you just weren’t ready to see. 



The only thing that I will say is just to don’t ever stop allowing love in. Romantic, platonic, or just a general sense of love, whatever you do don’t stop yourself from loving. Sure take time for yourself, if you need time away go on a vacation, if you need to focus only on friends or family do it, there is no wrong way of taking a break making sure to love the most important person first and foremost, you! Love you first. Only once you feel like you’re loving who you are again, can you love others, support others, be kind, and share with others. Only then. 
Just don’t ever stop allowing love in because I promise after all the heartache, tears, counselor, healers, time off, one night stands, whatever the fuck you need to get yourself back. After you’ve come back from your own personal hell, will love come for you again Johnny style. The thing is this time you will be ready, this time you will want to be loved because you will know your worth, and you will stare Johnny dead in the eyes with a look that will have love shaken in its boots!

With all the love from your white light witch,

Excuse Me Is This Thing On?

Well hi there! Remember me? My name is Emma your friendly white witch, ya I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from my witchy butt! I’ve been avoiding my blog because my life has been crazy busy! I’m so sorry if you’ve been needing a Reiki session, wondering when my next Witches Woman Circles are, what essential oils I've been using, and how my yoga practice is going! If you weren’t…well, surprise I’ve been barely doing anything of the sort so you haven’t been missing out! I fell off my spiritual practice wagon and finally feel like I’m jumping back on! Starting with blogging on me blog!

I bet you’ve been feeling the same thing lately as busy summer has wrapped up, fall has come full swing for us all to slow down. This year I’ve had to make a conscious effort to slow down! Which means I get to catch you up on my life, so here we go:

First and foremost I moved back to the city of Vancouver though in a smaller home, and not in the core of downtown. Which I’m super happy about as Gibson’s made me enjoy and appreciate the quieter side of life that I wanted to implement in my new back to city life. Though it doesn’t allow me to have my Reiki Practice at home anymore. So I will be looking for spaces soon. After publishing my first poem book, a crazy move back, going to a beautiful wedding, visited my partner in Toronto, started up Yoga with My Vijnana teacher again, joined Pilates, made time for friends, family and work my full time job as a flight attendant i hope you can see there is reason to why I’ve been away from my witches duties. Though I’m surrendering that everything happens for a reason and everything will happen in good time.

Not gonna lie just me sitting at my new neighborhood JJbean, drinking an almond milk mocha, listening to tunes, typing away on my MacBook is bringing my spirits up like when I first started blogging. Though that can also be the caffeine kicking in that I weeded myself off and now it’s giving me a hell of a buzz! So well on this caffeine high, I’m gonna share with you my dreams for this lil White Witch. Sneak peek time! My ideas that I want to start and would love to hear in the comments which you’d love to see me acting on first!

Ideas/ Magic happening:

- Host Yoga classes on YouTube
- Start a Podcast with my bestie Afrah
- Blogging more
- Finding a spot for my Reiki practice and Witch Circles in Vancouver

So that’s it for now, a small post for bigger and better dreams to come! Can’t wait to start all of this up though just be aware I’m still slowing down and things might seem like they are taking a little while to make into fruition but they are happening! First I’ve got to binge watch some Peaky Blinders on Netflix…I’m hooked!

Excited to be back!

Our Personal Legends

I always knew I was a writer. Amongst all the other titles I have found myself acquiring. Since I was a kid I loved writing stories, poetry, and always seemed to be able to express myself better through the written word than the ones I tried speaking out into the air. I held in a lot of my emotions and expression’s I felt as a kid growing up. Though when it was just me, a piece of paper, and pen I could always just say any and everything that was on my mind. No limitations.

Now with Angel’s and Starlight published into the world I have been feeling so many feelings. First and foremost I’m so so so proud of myself, accomplishing something that I know so many people only talk about! I wrote a book! Like what?! How amazing is it to know my art is out in the world, and people are wanting to read it! I feel like I’ve learned so much about myself! What it means to put your heart and mind to something you truly want. So much so you realize you can pretty much accomplish anything afterward! There were so many times during the formatting process that I wanted to throw my computer out the window that I honestly for months didn’t get back to the book. Yet with some calming down and humbling realization that I couldn’t do everything on my own got back to bringing Angel’s and Starlight into the world. I learned so much and through the frustrations, high’s and lows, have a little more life experience moving forward! My last feeling is grateful, for all the support from friends, family, coworkers, and strangers alike. Grateful for my editors, formater's, and Kindle self-publishing, and sister’s artwork. Grateful that I live in a world where I can create and express myself to my heart's content.

Our legend that we all want to achieve and accomplish in this life are all different and welcomed in the world. Your legend is up to you and the footprint you want to leave is all about how much you want to accomplish it. I always knew I wanted to write a book, and the craziest moment I have besides people reading my poetry which is pretty much like reading my diary…EEP! Is that I have a concrete book that has my name on the title of the book! Here we are one of my personal legends accomplished, and now opening up to my next chapter! To continue growing my legend from the day I was born till the day I die!

The last thing I want to say is how happy I am paving the way for others to go and write a book that they’ve always wanted to! There have been so many people I’ve been talking to that either have been getting inspired to start writing there own books or are finishing old ones they started. Because they have become inspired by me and my debut book Angel’s and Starlight! Realizing that if lil ol’ me can do it so can you!

So no matter what kind of legend you want to leave in this world know that you can accomplish it! Just put your mind, your soul, and your heart into it full-heartedly and the universe can’t do anything but make it a reality!

Leaving The Past In The Past

When I decided to leave the past behind me, it came through in a dream during the New Moon in Taurus May 4th 2019, and as we are entering Gemini’s New Moon this June 2nd it’s time to share my self-reflection to you all.

In my dream I was surprising my ex for his birthday at a club. I was nervous being there and very uncomfortable, as I wasn’t really invited, but I wanted to stick around and wish him well. His two sisters were surprised I was there but didn’t skip a beat for me to sign his birthday card. When he finally walked into the club with all of his friends, family, and another ex-girlfriend of his, he was surprised by all. While I stood back and found a spot by the wall and quietly observed. Till one of the sisters pointed to me letting him know I was there. I told them not to make a fuss, but then he walked over and ended up giving him a warm embrace. He then was nervous about me and his ex being in the same place, but all I did was tell him to be careful chasing the past. Afterwards I left the club with others that were with me.

When I reflected my dream in the morning I knew that it was my unconscious mind telling me that it was me who had to stop chasing the past. That nothing was left with my ex, besides the fact I was living in the past and not the present. The feelings of being uncomfortable and out of place was a representation of how I’d been feeling in my waking life. The warmth of the hug was a longing that wasn’t being filled by his presence any more and finally the sisters represented the feminine quality of my self of welcoming it all to my conscious to be acknowledged.

Funny enough I’ve been avoiding writing this bog post since I had the dream, knowing it needed to be written but as always my stubborn side getting the best of me. Knowing in writing this I would have to realize A. accepting the fact that I’ve been living my life in the past these last few months, and B. sharing another vulnerable story like my dream to the general public. Le sigh.

Insta- @emsueloo

The thing is just like everyone else, I have a very hard time letting people in my life. Most people know me as being very kind, bubbly, friendly, and full of energy, but this isn’t all of me. So when I truly let you in close to my heart and show you who I truly am, flaws and all… well it’s a big deal. Though the downside of this is it also means that I also have a very hard time letting you go. Especially if I was far from ready letting you go, especially romantic partners. I may not be contacting them, but it doesn’t stop me from being taken still emotionally to them stumping me on moving forward. Which I know I’m not the only one out there who has had inner turmoil letting go of there ex partners, so this post is more related to leaving past relationships where they belong…in the past. Though take what you want and apply it wherever in your own life is being help by the past.

So now here comes the sharing portion of my blog. How do we leave the past in the past, and start living in the present again? How to leave the pain, the heartache, the tears, and the many hours daydreaming a life that is no longer there and start moving on? Well here’s what been working for me on leaving the past where it belongs and getting back to living in the present.

Continue moving forward:
This is my first and foremost. However hard it seems, how much you saw your life going one way with them in it, and now it’s not… you just have to keep moving forward. Some days will be really easy and other days will be days that you simply have to remind yourself to exist. Whatever you do though keep going, your life is not the sum of another’s, your life is it’s own precious gift to the world and universe we dance within. So take hold of it!

What parts of you were they fulfilling/missing that you now are left to dealing with? Time to get to the route of the cause. When you miss them stop and ask yourself what exactly are you missing. Is it that they loved you? Ask do you truly love yourself (this one isn’t as easy as we think so go deep). Was it that they gave you attention. Why do you need their validation? Do you miss them touching you? Have you been taking care of your self physically for instance: getting yourself some healthy touch. Through hugs from friends/family, massage’s, exercise, and spa treatments. Whenever we lose a partner it starts making you aware of parts of yourself that you weren’t or hadn’t been looking after. Old beliefs and values are brought to light that were/had been projected/reflected by your partner, so time to acknowledge them, grow and heal em’!

What do you want in life? Time to get reconnected in your passions, your life goals, and what’s important to you again! Were there things in the life that you were so busy trying to create with another that you lost track or forgot the things that bring you joy in your life? Things that you want to achieve, be, explore, become? It’s time to open up to this new world of possibility again. This is your life, and you can have whatever dream, desire, and passion you can imagine! Hard truth, but maybe it’s time to let go of things you said you wanted to do but only really wanted to because you wanted to make your partner happy. That last one was hard for me, but once I realized how much I was willing to change/sacrifice my life and all that I loved for another is also a big part in realizing that we weren’t good for each other.

Very lastly, and what allows me to take a breath of fresh air when it seems too much is reminding myself that if they were meant to be in your life they will be. There are no if, and’s, or, buts about this. It’s an old saying but rings true. It might not be today, in a week, or a year from now, but if they are truly meant to be in your life the universe will have nothing but to bring your souls together. It reminds us that the past will always be apart of you but that the future is unknown. So many possibilities and surprises on its way, so that you can relax into today knowing the universe has your back, every step of the way. With that I will leave with hopefully giving some food for thought.

Live for today, the past is in the past, and the future is yet to be written.

Surrender - Young Living Blend

Time Off for Mental Health

Rushing off the bus all my luggage in tow, there was only an hour before the walk in clinic was about to close in the small BC town I just moved too. Flying for the last 6 days as a Flight attendant, barely slept the night before. Then again, barely been sleeping for the last 6 months really. I stepped through the walk in clinic's doors relieved that I made it. I had two days only to get my plan in order before I would have been at the mercy of being on-call for work for the next month. My heart squeezed with anxiety, I couldn't go back to work not so soon.

I was greeted by the receptionist, who begun the usual in-take questions.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No I don't" I replied trying my best to be my usual friendly self.

"Have you been here before?"

"No I just moved here" Literally like a month ago, so happy to have moved from the city life. Where 6 years of life, memories, and well a lot of good came with the bad.

"Do you have your health card?" While I handed her my card, I knew I should've printed my doctors note I needed filled out, so I could request short term disability. Which, I'd never in my 8 years of flying have ever taken a leave. Hell at max I took sick day maybe at most once a year, if that! But after talking to two of my friends from work who had done it, they nudged me to do the same. Just a bit of time off that's all I need I thought. I didn't have the chance to get the form printed from being between cities, hotels, buses, flights, and resorts. While she was typing my information in, I meekly asked If I could print a form I needed sighed for work with her printer?

She of course, following procedures said that she couldn't print off any papers for me, which logically I understood. Yet that one defeating moment broke all that was left of my composure. As I began to try to respond with a shaky soft voice, "OK, I'll try to get it printed for next time." I could feel my mask break, tears whelming behind my eyes, my breath becoming shorter. Without moving her gaze from the computer screen the receptionist asked for my address. As I began responding that's when all the tears that I had been holding in on the ferry and bus ride over began spilling freely. Bless the receptionist who soften automatically noticed me struggling to talk, passed the tissue box over.

After a struggle to give my address through soft sobs and intakes of breath, she asked the final question: "Reason for visit?" I couldn't speak anymore, so she found my words for me as I could but only numbly nod. "Stress leave."

I was thankfully taken to an empty patient room where I didn't have to be sitting with all the other patients. I then ended up crying for an hour and a half straight before the doctor even saw me. I finally came to the conscious acknowledged that I needed help. My first step which is always the hardest, was seeking the help I needed. I couldn't keep going the way I was without the outcome becoming tragic.

Why is it that we take our mental health for granted so often? That we usually have to hit rock bottom, or in my case a few rock bottoms before admitting we need to start looking for help? Why do we push ourselves harder or just keep going without the rest and time off that we need? Why do we think that after an end of a relationship, a traumatic event big or small, or move that we can just go right back to a regular routine?

I'm here through my own shit and still ongoing shit, to tell you sometimes you just can't. And its time to take the hint from your loved ones that its time to take time off.

Your mental health is so so so important. No matter what life is/has thrown at you, what responsibilities, expectations, and stresses its not worth your health. Take the time off. If you like me is dealing with:

- Depression/anxiety
- Unstable emotions
- Present or post trauma
- Exhaustion, or a difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
- Thoughts that life would be better without you/hopelessness
- Substance, or alcohol abuse - Isolation
- Or unstable/unhealthy eating habits (overeating/under eating)

If you're dealing with one or more of these even, it's a clear tell sign that its time to step back and start taking care of your health.

I'm currently one month in from the day I walked in to the clinic so I could start looking after myself. I've been to counseling, acupuncture and back to a healthy routine (yoga, meditation, exercise, journaling and leaning on friends and family.). I still have my low days when I cry till my eyes are as puffy as squash balls, where I don't want to get out of the comfort of my bed. Binge watch Netflix and scrolling heavily through social media to numb my pain. But one day at a time they are becoming far and few between. I'm finally having more days that are brighter than dark ones, but only because I've taken the time off of work and everything else and have been focusing all that energy on myself.

Healing isn't something that happens overnight, especially if you let it build up like I did. But you can heal over time, one day at a time, one doctors appointment, one counseling session, one yoga practice, one healthy meal, one friendly conversation at a time. If you are going through anything please make sure to take the steps to bettering your mental health what ever that means, it truly takes one step. Which is to accept that sometimes we all need a little help.

With Love,

Emma

Healers of all Kinds

Acupuncturists, Reiki Masters, Counselors, Healing Touch, RMT’s, Aromatherapists, Shiatsu, Yoga Therapists, EFT, Tapping, Floating, Pranic Breathing, Shamans, Witches, Angelic Alchemists and that’s only naming a few of the many types of healing modalities out there lately! Yet now this asks the question what kind of healer are you in need of?

Healers of all kinds are becoming more and more common as the year's progress and our search as humans to grow and focus on a well rounded well being becomes primary. With Western medicine not always having the answers, we’ve started looking outside of this system for more well rounded healing approaches.

With so many options out there it can become overwhelming of what kind of healer you’re in need of. Honestly, I’m quite experimental when it comes to healers and am always curious about everyone’s different techniques and practices! I’ve pretty much have dabbled with almost all the healers listed above! I also love recommending to my clients different kind of healers to help promote and elevate their healing journey. Though unless you’ve had your own experience with all these different techniques how can you begin to recommend what other kinds of healers to see!

I’d love to write to you all on which healer to see but when I was about to start writing which healers I suggest I realized I can’t tell you what works best because well…your not me. What works for me may not work for you. With that, this is how I’ll help you decided on what kind of healer you should try or go to.

Is there any kind of healing modality that you’ve been interested in for ages and have wanted to give a try? Yes? Awesome start there!

Have there been any healers that someone has recommended and has piqued your interest? Sweet go book an appointment!

Still, don’t know where to begin? Start anywhere! Try some of the ones I’ve suggested above or look into all the others out there, do a bit of research. The internet is such a powerful tool nowadays and you can look up all kinds of healers and what they specialize in. One will usually speak louder and feel like a good fit more than others. Take the leap!

There is no right or wrong way of choosing what kind of healer to go with. Only that you start! Be aware that when you find a healer that works for you, you’ll know the healing you receive from them will feel so aligned and will make you break the old you into a big and brighter version of yourself! If you walk away feeling lighter this is usually a clear tell sign that you’ve found the healer for you. Don’t get me wrong there are times that you will feel worse off, but it won’t be because of the practitioner or the healing service received but because of what you’re dealing with. Be mindful of this, before blaming the practitioner make sure to ask if it was practitioners skills or if it was actually your ego not wanting to change and heal? Though be warned there are cases of healers that are not in it for the right cause which is to mindful of as well.

I truly believe that there are all these different kind of healers out there because there are so many different kinds of people out there. The fact that our souls are constantly growing, changing and evolving means that one healer that you might have been seeing for years may no longer be aligned with you and you know what? That’s totally ok! Don’t worry you're not abandoning your previous healer it just might mean that you're ready for the next chapter of your healing journey. How awesome is that! I think the reason that I’ve dabbled in so many healers is that not every healing I’ve needed was the same and that I needed a different type of healing from a different practitioner because that’s what at the time I needed. Don’t be scared of trying something new because there are benefits in it all of them.

Here’s to you on your healing journey, and the best of luck in your search for your healer! If you’d like any recommendations on a specific healers don’t hesitate to send a message in the Contact page!

With Love n’ Light,
Emma

You're Not Suffering Alone

“You’re not suffering alone”

As the saying goes. We are never suffering truly alone. You know how many people can relate to what you’re feeling? It may not be the same situation, people, or circumstances but in one way or another someone has felt what you are feeling. Truly. We think that in our deepest despair that no one understand and we begin cutting our selves from our friends, family, and the rest of the world.

When the pain becomes to much we close down even further, depression, anxiety, exhaustion, over or underrating, and all self care treatments go right out the window. Everything becomes a choir, you barely want to leave the house, or do any of the things that used to bring you joy. Your pillows become stained with tears, and black marks from the mascara you didn’t have the energy to wash off.

When you finally hit the point of suffering that you honestly could cry at any point of the day when you’re left to your own thoughts. Or when even your own unconscious wakes you up from a dead sleep and you can’t get back asleep no matter how much you focus on your breath or look at your phone. Till finally you fall back asleep, 2 hours later mind you.

Yet deep down tucked away in all the pain suffering and devastating thoughts that cloud your mind there is a sliver of light that begins to show. Because at one point the dark can no longer get any darker. Even in the darkest of nights the sun begins a new day. The darkness begins to crack. When you finally listen to that little voice that tells you, “I need help.” You make sure to listen.

Because when you’re in that despair that’s when you need to tell your ego enough is enough. Letting yourself know that you don’t have to do it all on your own. That it’s ok to ask for help, and finally allow yourself to receive. You will be amazed when you make that choice all your loved ones that were reaching out and all the signs you were receiving were all there. You just had to succumb to the facing of truths. That sometimes we all need a little help from others.

When we open up to others that we are suffering that’s when their stories of there own suffering come through and we begin to know we aren’t alone. The knowledge of what worked for them, what they felt, and how they got through elevates maybe a tiny bit. And bit by bit, you know that it’s ok to ask for help. To take time off work, to cry your eyes out, to go and seek a counselor, reiki practitioner, acupuncturist, naturopath, personal trainer, psychic, gatherings, and just any other profession that your being guided to start helping your healing journey.

I’m here to lovingly remind you all that if you’re going through something that’s causing you great sadness, pain, or overburdening don’t hesitate to stop and reach out for help. Its either a phone call, text, email, or conversation away from beginning, or even continuing your healing journey. As my own journey is reminding me to do the same, to pause and take time to heal I softly whisper you can to. Please take time out and listen to what you’re body, mind, and soul truly needs at this time. You don’t have to keep pushing forward alone. The universe is here for you.

All the Love n’ Light,

White Witchy What?

Dear lord! I’ve been blogging on my White Witch website for almost over a year now and I’ve never explained what a White Witch is! Well even more so, what a Witch means to me even, and why I claim this title!

To be fair though I don’t think I even knew what it meant to me until someone on my last work flight from Winnipeg to Punta Cana asked me what it is to be a “Witch.” I then had to explain to them what it was, and finally explained myself without questioning what being a Witch is. Well to me anyway! As it can mean different things to different people. Now I’ll also be explaining what being a “White Witch” is in and why I chose to go with it. As it was also brought to my attention that claiming to be a White Witch may make others feel excluded from partaking in the light work that I facilitate. So in hopes to better explain why I went with “White”, as well. This is to not exclude, specifically in this case, based off of color allowing for a better understanding as to the meaning. It is, and never will be a conscious desicion of mine to exclude anyone ever based off of race, gender, class, or sexual orientation. Cause friends that ain’t my jam at all and I love and appreciated every single human being I come across no matter the circumstances. Who am I to judge, without first judging myself right!

Now with all that being said! What’s a Witch? A witch to me is a woman in her power at any stage of her life that allows and embodies magic, healing, and is guided by her intuition. A woman who is strong in herself. Guided by her intuition, dance’s to the own beat of her drum. Has gone through hell and back, looked at her demons right in the eyes and told them fuck you. A woman who understands how to embody The Maiden (innocents, Beginnings), The Mother (Creation energy, Birthing), and The Crone (Inner Wisdom, Endings). Who follows the natural rhythm of mother earth, the ebb and flow of life, and the cycle of the moon and seasons. She is a teacher of the old ways, and points out to others when they have stepped off there path and how to, by their own means, get back on it with nothing but a nudge of guidance or insight. She is a woman who manifest, makes magic, communes with the spirits, and respects that there are forces beyond her or anyone’s control. She is a woman that came from the ones who they weren’t able to burn. The ones who passed on there knowledge in secret. The ones that are sick of the hiding, and are taking back their power, and are no longer afraid of stepping out into the light from the caves, from fear of persecution. I am from a long line of witches that they couldn’t burn. Even as I write this i’m channeling all of this powerful energy from my ancestors before me . This is what being a Witch means to me, as it is all of this and much more.

Now on to the “White” bit! This luckily is a little lighter and simpler to explain though has two parts. Part one was too make clear that I am a witch who practices with light or “white” magic. Unlike those witches who work with “Black Magic”. Now nothing wrong with those who work with the dark arts, but it is a world that I don’t work with and have no interest in as it is not my calling. White magic is healing, love and of course light work. Which is the second part, to being White. Because White = Light! A Light worker is someone who is a healer, a sensitive souls, a natural helper, and are beings with a deep calling to aid not only individuals in raising there vibration but that of the planets as a whole. And that’s it! This is the why and the meaning behind my title as The White Witch. I hope this brings clarity and knowledge as to what makes me a White Witch. I will be changing my Instagram account from @thewhite.witch to @healingwithemmah. Allowing for people who may not know me, question what a witch is, a broader crowd and skeptics to not feel like they have to know a secret witches coven code to understand the beauty of what I do. Opening up to explore the magic and healing work I bring into the world!

For I am The White Witch.

With love n’ light,
Emma

An Entry for The Spiritually Empathic Sensitive Soul

Are you a spiritual empathic soul like myself? Can you feel everything at such an intensity that its made you cripple to your knees in tears, made you laugh so hard that you pulled a muscle, fall in love so deeply you lost your self, or even felt such lightness you were on floating amoungst clouds? Are you also able to tell a situations vibe and know how to shift it or point out to others feelings before they have even attuned to it?

Well darling, it sounds like you might be an Empathic! Which is great because you are able to feel extreme highs and lows, of not only your self but others you surround yourself with. Which gives you a life truly full of heart felt feelings and emotion. You also have a gift that not a lot of people will be able to relate to. Now what is an empathic? Well it comes from the word empathy, which by Merriam-Websters definition is: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner. Intense right? Like who wants the responsibility and the knowing of how others feel, when you already are dealing with your own emotions!

Luckily in the field work that I do as a Reiki Master practitioner/White Witch Healer this actually works to my benefit as when I’m working with clients I’m able to sense what the person is feeling. I feel my clients emotions, energetic blocks, body discomforts at such a level that it works very efficient and benefits my clients during their session. Giving them a deeper knowledge or insight on what they might be avoiding for their own growth. Though this didn’t come without some trail and error. I’ve been fine tuning this sensitivity since birth and am finally getting the hang of it, though I have had my fair share of slip ups or how I better like to call them “learning curves”. There are times when even I become overwhelmed, can’t tell whats my emotions and whats someone else’s, or even hit such lows that my thoughts hit a very dark spot. Scary I know, but don’t worry this is why I felt the need to write this post! After my last breakup I hit a low again…literally last night, le sigh. I cried from 4pm- 10am the next morning because I was feeling such despair, anger and grief. I gave myself up completely to my last partner that when I tried dating again I soon realized that I wasn’t ready. My heart has and is still very much healing, and I had absolutely nothing to give to another. So depleted I had to step back and get back to what helps me fill my cup again as a very sensitive spiritual and empathic soul.

So this is a entry to all my spiritual empathic souls out there who has or have been feeling overwhelmed at any point and doesn’t know how to deal with the intense emotions that others will never truly understand unless felt. A “How-To” get back in tune to your energy, your emotions and feeling whole again. I’m also going to leave my comments open if there is anything you’d like to share that work for you as an empathic on getting back to balance!

Step 1

FEEL YOUR FEELINGS! Cry if you have to cry, get angry if you need to throw something do (though maybe avoid people, and things that could break!). Whatever you need to, to feel, do! When you’re an empathic this is such an important step to take in making sure that you are staying healthy. Hence why this is step number one. The very last thing you should do is hold it in, this is the worst thing to do as an empathic! Your body will just store the emotion in the body and will have negative effects if not released properly. Though I understand if you aren’t in the right time or place to process your emotions. So if you have to keep it together until you have a safe place then that’s ok, just make sure you do!

Step 2

This brings up to step 2: Retreat! The only way that I’m able to know what is my feelings and what is someone else’s is the fact that I take the time to completely separate myself from everyone around me. Retreating whether in your room, in nature alone, a quite moment in a corner or the washroom if you’re at work, or to completely retreating to traveling. If you’re constantly around people it is very hard to tune into yourself and begin to realize whats yours and whats others. So its ok take the time to retreat, its not being selfish its being taking care of your self. Self love is sometimes something as small as taking a moment for yourself.

Step 3

Now this last step I’m suggesting is Yoga. The reason I believe that yoga is important for empathic’s is for the body. From experience, when you have a strong yoga practice (talking more towards the Asana practice) you are able to fine tune what body pains are yours. If you’re a true and very strong empathic you might unknowing pick up the pains and hurt from others. For instance your talking to someone who is complainning about back pain and all of a sudden you feel as if you have the same back pain, this is taking on someones physical energy. I’ve heard (is common amoungst empathic’s) of cases where people have taken on someone else’s pain. In doing so the empathic thinks they are heping the other, but it is quiet the opposite as this is their pain, their journey and it’s not for you to take on. This isn’t healthy boundaries set up for you or the other person and will end up hurting you both more in the long run. So I suggest yoga to get attune with your body to know what physical pain is yours and what is someone else’s. Once you regonize what is someone else’s energy or pain you are feeling all you have to do is acknowledge it, thank it, and tell it that it has no place in your body and it may leave. Step 3 get attune with your body through yoga or any other way that you believe help fine tune your sensitivity.

Being a Spiritually Sensitive Empathic individual is a beautiful gift that allows you to connect with others in such a raw, deep and authentic way. Never see it as a burden but as a chance to learn, grow and feel the full spectrum of human emotions. Would love to hear how anyone else deals with being empathic in the comments below! All the love my fellow sensitive souls!

Warmly,
TWW

Dealing with Lost Souls

Last week I had a dream that a woman in a house asked me to cleanse it from all the spirits that were hanging around. I stood in the main foyer of the house rang a turquoise bell and said in a strong yet friendly voice “You spirits are no longer welcomed and its time for you to go!” I looked at the front and back door of the house and made sure both doors were open. My eyes then followed towards the stairs of the house and I watched as many white spirits floated down the steps and out of the doors leaving the house for good.

That morning and the day after I received messages from two different people on separate occasion’s explaining they were having troubles with spirits and lost souls following them. They were having feelings of being followed, and unable to sleep. So with this boom in my own clients dealing with attached spirits I’ve decided to write a blog post on how to deal and handle spirits who’ve attached to you personally.

Now the spirits I’m talking about are quiet harmless and are either playful trickster energy or purely just lost. If you feel like your dealing at all with “evil”, or “menacing” spirits please find a Spiritual Practitioner who specializes in Deep Cleansing Clearings. Doing said exercises below alone will not work!

So with that being said lets get you on your way to being lost soul magnet free!

Why spirits attach to us: Now there are a ton of reasons as to why a spirit may become attached to a person. What I find the most common is that the “host” or person who has attracted/is being followed by the lost soul is that their own energy field has leaks or holes in it which attracts these spirits

How to ask a spirit to leave: Now this is a very basic but effective form of asking the spirit to leave on you. It is also very similar to what was done in my dream! First make sure you are feeling strong, confident and in a pretty healthy state. Simply while you're at home open the front door of your home and firmly without fear though still friendly, state out loud:

“Lost Soul you are no longer welcomed around me, in my home, or anywhere else you feel. It’s time now, for you to leave and never return. I wish you safe travels back to your home. This is not your home and so please leave.”

Say this all while holding the door open for them. Once you "feel" they leave close the door. Please be warned lost souls are a little funny though and if you even slightly allow the thought of them to allow them to re-enter into your space they can reattach to you, and you don’t want this. So please be mindful that even if you ask them to leave they can come back if you allow it.

Other ways and tools for clearing yourself of spirits: Burning Sage around yourself with the intention that the lost soul leaves you in peace. Epson salt baths to cleanse the physical body. As well as anointing or diffusing Essential oils such as Juniper, Sage, Eucalyptus, and Frankincense.

Hope this finds and helps anyone who thinks there is a lost soul around them. Don’t worry they will find there homes, but you have the power to tell them you aren’t it!

With that,
Your Friendly White Witch saying peace out!
