I’m joyfully anticipating a visit from the three healing angels tonight. After they leave me they’ll rest 5 days and then go on to visit others for a 5 day visit starting on 19 Mar 2012.
If you’d like me to send them on to you, leave a note here at my blog or on my facebook page (www.www.facebook.com/StarfireStudio) or send me an email.
I’ll send them on to the first 3 people.
You can read about the three healing angels at these pages:

One of the major issues that’s come up in readings lately is reclaiming one’s power.
It’s very common to say or hear “Oh, X makes me so angry!” But when we believe that, we believe that X has the power to control our feelings, which is very disempowering.
Once we can reframe it to “X did Y, and I feel angry about it”, we’re shifting both the responsibility for our feelings and our power to change our feelings back to ourselves, and that’s very EMpowering.
It’s not always easy; giving our power away this way is modelled all around us. And it can be very difficult to move from “X makes me angry” to “I am angry at X”; taking responsibility for feeling angry, sad, outraged, etc., can be hard and painful.
But the rewards are worth it, IME.
We can’t change others. X may always be an ass. Y may like to push people’s buttons. Z keeps engaging in trolling. There will always be people around who want to hurt others.
But it does help to internalise that we can take away any power others have to push our buttons or hurt us with words.
It doesn’t mean we’ll never feel angry or hurt, because we will! But it does mean that we’ll know they’re our own feelings that we can work on and not something out of our control that others can do to us.
And sometimes it even that means that instead of actually feeling hurt by something someone says or posts, I can say “Hey, that’s pretty hurtful, what you said there” without it actually hurting me. And the more I work on it, the more often that happens.
Bright Blessings and a happy Eclipse and Full Moon!

It’s been a rough week at the Starfire house.
Our Nala kitty seemed to be fine through Saturday 12 November. Sunday she wasn’t hungry. Monday we started meds, rehydrating fluids, and trying to tempt her with all her favourite foods, which she declined.
She snuggled a a lot Sunday and a bit Monday, but started withdrawing by late Monday; she preferred the cold floors to her usual bed on my computer desk next to me. I gave her the quilted flannel blanket I’d finished that weekend (thanks to Nala, who’d found the unfinished one a few weeks before, reminding me to finish it; I started working on it after she lost interest and hadn’t even washed it yet, so it smelled like her), and she stayed on that most of the time.
Tuesday she got restless and her temperature dropped. She crawled behind the tv cabinet to lay on the cold slate for a while.
Tuesday evening she wanted her hydrating solution and her flannel bed. I gave her 2 hot water bottles and she stretched out next to them for several hours.
She had a dose of medication just before 4 am Wednesday morning, gagged, stomped off to go behind the sofa, and quickly transitioned out of her body in the time it took me to wake up Paul to reach her out.
As my dear friend Andrea reminded me, some animals need help transitioning but Nala transitioned as she did everything — bouncing right out of the body she’d bounced around in during her life.
There’s a Nala-shaped hole that will take a long time to fill, but the other cats are doing their best to help — and Nala reminded me very strongly when I checked in with her on the Other Side that grieving is fine, but to not let it take away from my time with the cats who are here, especially when they’re asking for my love. I’m doing my best.
Here’s my beautiful little bean fairy the summer before last:

I’ve been watching the new Doctor Who, and I love this phrase.
One of the things that I have trouble verbalising sometimes is that time is only something we experience on this side, as part of the material/physical universe.
But on the other side, there’s no time — which makes time here quite wibbly wobbly, since anyone over there isn’t constrained by our perception of time here as a straight line.
It’s also sometimes difficult to express clearly that while we are indeed here and constrained by the limits we chose for our current path, we’re also over there — without those limits. Sometimes the angels and others that help us here and really us, but from a different part of the wibbly wobbly stuff, and often with more information than we have in the here and now.
At least one of my guides shares the same higher self that I do; we’re the same person, but she’s non-corporeal and I’m currently corporeal.
I expect it will be quite a fight to not say “wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff” for a while every time I try to explain time to others. *wry smile*

One of the things I love about doing psychic work is unexpected events, synchronicities, and things that make me go “Huh. That was … unexpected. Yep.”
The most recent is work with Christ. I was raised outside the church but with a background of Roman Catholicism; my maternal grandmother was very devout and I lived with my grandparents full time until first grade, then during holidays and vacations thru my mid-teens.
But I turned away from Christianity in my late teens and from other organised religions in my 20s; every one seemed to push me further away from the Divine that I otherwise experienced as being very immediate and all-encompassing.
And then suddenly the past few months Christ has been appearing during readings and in my non-physical workshop — and interacting with him and channeling the writing he’s asked me to do for me has been joyfilled and fascinating, and I’m heartglad it’s ongoing.

Today I heard someone refer to the “horror of severe mcs” and it made me take a step back.
I have severe, life threatening mcs. I live 15 miles from town in an area of organic farms; between the mcs and severe cfids I’m housebound.
I have multiple autoimmune and immune disorders that predate the mcs by decades, and I’m a survivor of severe childhood sexual, emotional, and physical abuse as well as a multiple brain injury survivor.
And I don’t think any of those is a horror. Yes, they’re definitely challenges, and there are days I’d rather not have them.
But this is the life I chose and the challenges I chose. Those challenges helped me along the path to where I am right now — and I love where I am.
I love being able to do readings for people and help them on their paths. I love exploring astrally, channeling, channeling, doing energy work, seeing reality as so much more than the physical world.
And yes, many days I’d love to be able to do more physically (and I’m heartglad and asquee that this year I’m so much stronger than the past few years!).
I do miss seeing people, the ocean, rivers, things. My friends live all over the world and I do miss them.
I’d like to build a cob chicken coop and a root cellar and those are beyond my body’s current strength. And I’d like to have enough spoons and strength to do everything I’d like to do! (Just like everyone, I dare say… *g*)
We don’t tend to have much (or sometimes any) discretionary income, and we’re blessed to get helped by the local church and by OHSI.
And yet here on our little homestead with my partner and our cats, connected to my other loved ones online (and astrally!), I feel blessed and beloved.
Lately I’ve been thinking about how many of us tend to limit ourselves through our beliefs.
They can range from “Well, if I can do it, anyone can, so it must not be anything special” to “Everything worth doing is hard work” to “Oh, I can’t wear that; I’m too young/old/thin/fat/curvy/etc” to “My life would be better if only x happens” to “Good things only happen to other people” and so on.
What limiting beliefs are you ready to release?
