Final Psychic Duo Blog Entry- Moving to new blog

This is the last post on this blog... I really thank you all for reading, as I feel the information that was presented here was wonderful for the growth of all. This weeks topic was spiritual path. I want to close with a final entry on this topic. When we choose to work in spirit, it is an amazing thing. We feel so much a part of greater whole than we will ever full realize when doing it on our own.. but we never really are on our own. We have so many people that come into our lives for whatever reason, and we move forward. There is always a life worth living, and every path is a path in spirit. There are those of us who have dedicated our lives to the forward progress of spreading the message through not only our words and actions, but through how we choose to live our lives. It really is an amazing thing to see growth, love, and brightness enter the sometimes dark parts of this world.. and even in the souls of others. We must not live in fear, as fear only consumes the good and spreads like a wildfire.. the sad thing is that we are usually the ones holding the match.

I again want to thank you for reading the psychic duo blog.. but a duo blog cannot be written by one...

The light in me acknowledges and reflects the light in you.. May you all go forward in peace, may peace follow you.. and touch all that you encounter...

Namaste.

Finding Faith and Spirituality under the Rainbow....

One of the hardest things I’ve found with the coming out process is the quickness with which most churches will turn on those members of their congregation. Its almost as if your decision to love has in some way morphed you into one of the monsters from Pokemon (which I personally find adorably cute beyond belief) and not the person you have been from the beginning. Even if you do not follow a particular religion, most of you have felt the sting of scriptures tossed at you in justification of your identification with who you really are. Now here is the tricky part, we often associate our “churches” condemnation with “God’s” condemnation. This is extremely evident in the “ex-gay” movement which tries to “fix” the gay out of you. You can’t fix what is not broken, and let me tell you- We are not broken. You can’t “fix” the God out of someone, and we should not go seeking places to fix us. I am not saying that all religions are bad, or that all christians hate us for being ourselves, and keep this in mind. I know a beautiful soul that is about as close to God as anyone I know. She is a Christian, and truly supports equality on all levels. Separation, anger, and hate will only keep us away from finding the God within each and every one of us. You do not have to believe in God to believe in yourself or in the power of change. This angry God that has been created in the image of hate and ignorance has cause so many young souls to cut their lives short simply because they have learned to fear him more than live the God they see in the mirror- and God doesn’t make mistakes. I can remember sitting with a pill bottle in one hand, and a knife in the other trying to decide which would be less painful, and all because I feared that God would hate me for choosing this path of damnation, the path of loving another man. I told myself I would sleep on it. As I sat there the next day I asked for some sort of sign, a message, a star falling from the sky–something. Then it hit me- Love really is the answer. I looked around me; The beauty in the sunrise, I thought back the the guy that was in my life, I remembered my mother holding me close before I left for the Navy, and it was all a feeling of love. And if this being we call God is love in its purest form, then this was God in every aspect of my life. The feeling I had felt the night before were so opposite this, and well– I guess my decision is obvious. I am not saying the road is going to be easy, and the search for our truth usually is not. There are so many roads to walk down, there are so many dreams that we still have to dream, and who know who has it right. Just keep walking, just keep loving, keep being you–and make no apologies. I’d much rather let the mountains be my steeples, the birds my choir, and the grass my pew– feeling the warmth of acceptance from the suns shining grace , and tucked into slumber by mother moon, surrounding myself with angels I meet that are just like me–and you.

Intuition: A meditation

This topic is one of those that we could spend forever on, really moving into that place of connection... and I am sure Darrin and I will revisit it from time to time, because much like 2012 it is one of those topics that does not get enough attention. We really need to learn to move into these wonderful new moments full of grace and light.. and, the best way to do that is to shine our light from within, that way you will never be without.

Lets do a little meditation to help you connect to your intuitive voice. Just like the soul meditation, this only requires you to let go, relax and move into the meditation. If you want to do a ritual to move yourself into that space, by all means.

Sit and breath.. focusing on your breath.. feel the body relaxing into each breath.. drifting and slightly detaching from the world around you... continue to breath and control the breath.. allow the body to relax even more, and now begin focusing on a question you might have. I want you to now ask your soul for advice on this particular issue, ask your soul voice (intuition)for guidance on anything you want. Learn to trust the information that is given. Learn to listen. You might not "hear" anything, but you just KNOW what needs to be done... you may see images that flash into your mind's eye... you might hear a gentle voice whisper guidance into your ear... thank your intuition, your soul, and any other higher being that you wish to thank.. close with a few deep breaths.. relax.. write down your experience.

See, that was not that hard. I will try and post some guided meditations on this blog here in the near future....

Much love and light to you all,

Namaste,

Intuition aka that lil voice that tries to keep you out of troble

We all have this wonderful internal guidance system. The problem is that many of us don't often like the advice it gives us, so we end up moving in a very opposite direction, and usually.. we look back and say.. Agh, had I only done what I knew I should have done from the start...

One big step you can take is learning to connect to your intuitive voice. Learn to relax, to sit in meditation, and to go with your gut feelings about circumstances- people- or other things in your life. Our intuition (or soul voice), only has the highest love and intent for us. It will help guide us to where we need to go, and it will move us into each moment with grace if we allow it. Sometimes the road ahead is bumpy, but if we learn to trust ourselves we will be fine.

Trust... A very powerful tool in connecting to intuition. Learn to trust yourself. Love yourself. The more your do this, the more you will develop a deeper connection to your intuitive voice.

Some things I will cover later in the week:

Soul voice vs. ego voice

How to develop a deeper connection to your intuition (meditation)

Learning to TRUST

Have a beautiful start to your week!

DADT Talk, and Poem Performance

This is a talk I gave this past weekend in support of a repeal of the Dont Ask Dont Tell Policy...

Then, a performance of my poem- Beautiful Rainbow

Beautiful Rainbow- Poem

I performed this poem today at the GLBT LIVE rally to repeal the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy.. Enjoy:

I want all the colors of the rainbow to join hands with all the letters of the alphabet,
so that we can have our voices heard in numbers that are too loud to ignore...
we need to be loud..
so loud that we create waves..
waves that will turn into tsunamis of love, that will come crashing down on the walls of hate..
we need to rip the pink triangle off the holocaust victims' chest...
because we are victims no more.
We are brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers.. creators...
and in our image we will create a world where there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow...
My grandmother use to tell me that rainbows were God's way of showing us the beauty in all life...
I want our rainbow to be so bright that it becomes a beacon of hope for every boy and girl trapped in their dark closets..
I want to give them the courage to speak, and to give their voice the strength of a million people marching to the beat of our outstretched hearts..
hearts, beating as one..
creating music that would make Beethoven dance...
creating a rhythm that can be heard from here to Iran..
Iran where angels are still murdered for choosing to love...
Let our music be their wings, let our voices lift them up through the clouds of ignorance..
How many hearts have to stop beating for us to start believing that our time is now...
we are here America, we are queer America...
we are every.. beautiful.. rainbow.

2012: My thoughts

Everyone really has their own opinion on what is going to happen during this time of great transition. We are all moving more into a place of centeredness. As a yoga instructor, I've seem people coming in droves to learn a new way of helping to body to relax and connect into a place of spirituality. Yoga in and of itself is a great series of stretches, but on a deeper level it allows us to shift the bodies energy systems, open chakras, and to connect with ourselves on a very deep level. We also learn to let go. Letting go of fear, anger, and any other negative emotion will be something extremely positive in the forward momentum.

Let us look at it from this perspective-- The worst possible outcome. The entire world goes... Ka BOOOOOOM!!!!!

What things have you left unsaid? Who do you still need to forgive? And from who do you still seek forgiveness? What things do you still want to accomplish in this life? What do you want your legacy to be?

We need to move to a place where we live without regret. Say those things now.. do those things now... Try out for a play, sing on a stage, dance! At our final moments is not the time to say.. Sheesh, I really wish I woulda... Its the time to say.. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to....

Do not live each moment like it is your last, live it like it is your first... forgive, not only other but the self. Share in this world experience, be happy, and spread your wings... Why wait?!?!
