Saging for Success




Well, I had a very busy weekend getting one place of business shut down and the other up and running. I am officially open for business at Claws now. I gave my first massage in my new space on Saturday morning. It went very well for the first time. It always takes a little while to get used to working in a new environment. Where do I set the oil and lotions so that they are convenient? Which is the best spot for the sound system? How do I situate the table to minimize outside noise? What is the best regulation of temperature so that my client, and myself, are neither too hot or too cold? Darn it! That candle overflowed from that air conditioner blowing on it. I sure am glad I set it on that glass topped table, it will be so easy to clean up. I need to do some fine tuning here and there, yes indeedy. And just like Goldilocks in the story of the Three Little Bears, after a few adjustments, it will feel just right. I've included a couple of photos of my room.

One area that is important for me to address is the energetic hygiene of my work space. Energy that is gone or dead is easily trapped in rooms with fluorescent lighting and little or no availability to fresh air from outdoors. Fortunately, my room has neither of those problems but unwanted energy can still linger. When this type of energy accumulates, the frequency of vibration slows and break down and illness can begin. One's sensitivity and intuition can become clouded.


Sometimes clients can come in with astral entities stuck on them. Oh, this is not intentional. Most people simply don't have a sense of these attachments. The entities are invisible hitchhikers who may decide to ditch their current host and try hanging out in my space. Have you ever had an experience in which a visitor left your domain and it no longer feels like it usually does? They could have left something behind like negative emotions, energetic trash or illness. That something is not an energy you want in your life. Trust your feelings and clear it out.

One way to do this is by performing a smudging ceremony with sage. This is what I did to clear my new workspace of any pre-existing contaminants. This ceremony was particularly potent because of the high energy being generated this past weekend. Native Americans have used this sacred, spiritual ritual for thousands of years. I use it on a daily basis in my work space, usually at the end of the day so that clients don't think I'm smoking weed. My space is cleared, grounded and ready to go. So am I. Yes!

The Trinity House




Claws
At the Trinity House

I don't like moving. I live in the same house that I moved into when I married 33 years ago. But that doesn't mean I don't like change. I do. I like change a lot. My work environment is changing. It makes me sad that I am pushed to move, but once decided, my excitement for new experiences is climbing.


I have been very happy with all the ladies I work with, there are over 40 of us. It is rare that so many women can work together with minimum conflict. Note I wrote conflict, not drama. Drama is an integral part of such a large grouping. But my dissension is not so much with the drama as just needing to be in a place of stable ownership. My days of trying to help owners overcome their self-destructive patterns seems to be at an end. I am most certainly glad to help. But over the years, I have put my own desires and interests behind others in the name of helping them run their businesses successfully. To heck with what I want. Time and time again. The last time, nearly five years ago, I said never again. From now on, I run my business for me alone.


What happens next? Immediately I find myself in the same situation. What kind of karma am I trying to burn? What is up with the same scenario over and over. I have walked a way from three businesses with nothing while leaving the owners with what I have added. A great opportunity presented itself to me once I started looking, and I am going to take it. This time it is for me. Maybe this is the lesson of my karmic Groundhog Day.


I like this house. It is very similar to the one in which I live. The energy is calm and peaceful even though it is a bustling little business. The mighty Sacramento River runs to the back side of the building. My massage room is upstairs, on the river side of the house under the shade trees, where you see the windows on the roof. They are screened windows that can be opened when the weather is nice. And plants. I can have plants because they will get some light. I am looking forward to being in this space. I am looking forward to all of the great healing and energy work I can do here. Oh, yeah, it suits me!
