Now Offering Email Support

May 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Hello Everyone!

While I was working one-on-one with clients, my ongoing clients received free email support as long as they had scheduled a session in advance.  Now that I am not working I find that I am still receiving many emails requesting support from both former clients and new clients.  I can no longer answer these for free because of the time and energy it takes–answering these types of questions still requires me to hold sacred space even if we do not do energywork.   So, I am now offering limited email support by the week for a small fee.

If you have a question you’d like answered privately, you may email it to me.  I will send you a paypal invoice for $25 dollars.  Once I receive your payment.  I will email you an answer to your question.  You may ask follow up questions for the remainder of the week.  It usually takes me 24-48 hrs to respond to your question.  You can expect up to four emails during that week.

As always, I am happy to answer questions for free if I am allowed to post your question on my blog AND you respond directly on the blog.

thanks Everyone!

What is an Opportunistic Entity?

March 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Over the past week I have had four different people ask me questions about Opportunistic Entities.  I thought an explanation would make a good blog post, since so many times Empaths have to deal with extracting an Opportunistic Entity and the question seems to be up for so many Empaths I know right now.

If you’ve read my stories on my website about Extractions, you probably already know that sometimes when a loved one dies, that person’s consciousness can become confused and then attach to a person still living instead of moving on to the Upper World(The Bardo, Heaven, etc.)  That person can then take on the traits of the loved one, sometimes even becoming ill with the same symptoms if the person who died was sick.  As a shaman I can “extract” the loved one and cross the person over to the other side, escorting him or her through the Bardo and all the way up to the Fourth Realm of individuated souls (Heaven).

In other cases we can take on a thought form of a loved one that gains so much energy it acts like an entity.  An example of this would be a critical parent constantly chattering at us in the background.  Such thought forms can be extracted in the same way as a person that has lost his way after death but aren’t really entities.  Other thought forms, like the supportive, cheering parent, we definitely do not want to extract!

However, there are other Entities that are not so benign.  These Opportunistic Entities are looking to take advantage of people in bodies to get an energetic feeding.  They usually don’t want to go through the hassle of making a body of their own, so they attach to someone in a body instead and cause trouble.  The easiest target for these Opportunistic Entities is an emotionally distressed Empath child.

The Empathic or highly sensitive child in an extended moment of fear or stress psychically cries out for comfort or help.  If no caregiver answers or responds in a way that makes the child feel safe and cared for, the Entity has an opportunity to answer instead.  The child and the Entity make a deal or an agreement—a sense of safety and a feeling of at least not being completely abandoned in exchange for feeding the Entity.  Usually a soul loss takes place for the child as well, making the child more vulnerable.  In any case the child and the Entity exist in a sort of symbiotic relationship.

How do you know if your child has unintentionally made this deal with an Entity?  Sometimes children develop unusual behaviors or become unreasonably clinging or afraid.  Some children develop behaviors that look like OCD or they become extremely anxious.  Some become people pleasers.  Some become violent and mean for no apparent cause.  In fact, it can be hard to tell just from behavior if your child has an entity.  But if they suddenly begin acting out of character and they have also been put in a situation where they were anxious, afraid, or believed themselves to be in danger or abandoned, it is reasonable to have a shaman check them for an Entity and most definitely for Soul Loss.

While I’ve worked with several children with Entities attached to them or near by them, more commonly I pull Opportunistic Entities out of adult Empaths.  All these Empaths made the agreement with the Entity when they were children and when they were extremely afraid or under extreme stress.  In one case, a client was extremely afraid of the dark when sleeping in a strange house and accidentally called one in.  In another case an Entity deliberately frightened the child and then the child called out for help and the Entity “rescued” him.  This child lost his zest for life and became painfully self-conscious.  In yet another case a client who had grown up in a chaotic household filled with arguments and physical violence had more than one Entity attached as an adult.   Years later, when this client was in a funk, these Entities tried to taunt him into committing suicide.

As you can see, Opportunistic Entities are troublemakers.  They feed off fear, anxiety, and anger.  The more they stir up these emotions in the Empath the bigger feeding they get.  They co-opt the Empath’s power for their own, and they sabotage the Empath when she tries to step back into power.  They love causing trouble not just to the Empath but also to the people around the Empath.  Many times the Empath doesn’t suspect she has an attachment to an Opportunistic Entity until she starts doing healing work or deep personal work.  As she changes, the presence of the Entity becomes more obvious and less hidden. So, what does the adult Empath do next?

The most essential step for the Empath is to break the deal with the Entity.  The Empath must look at what benefit she gets from the Entity now that she is an adult.  Instead of safety and comfort that she might have missed from her parents as a child, as an adult the contract may have shifted into something different.  Many Empaths live from a Victim Stance.  The Victim Stance has the benefit of never having to take responsibility for ourselves.  The Victim wants others to take care of her.  The Victim wants life to be easy without putting in the work on the physical plane.  In a way, living from a Victim Stance has considerable benefits.  However, having a Victim Stance means that the Empath cannot get out of the contract with the Entity.

If we give up our Victim Stance, which means taking responsibility for our life as it is right now, reframing how we look at our life with the phrase, “I created this mess, what am I going to do to clean it up,” no matter that we inadvertently created it as children, and we take small actions to clean up our lives, we step into power and into choice.  Opportunistic Entities don’t like that.  They like us in our Victim Stance because we are helpless, hopeless, powerless,blaming others and circumstances for our lives.  All that beautiful creative power is up for grabs, and they will grab it.

Opportunistic Entities sabotage the healing work.  I’ve had Empaths realize that they have an Opportunistic Entity, schedule a session to do the work to remove it, and fall asleep before the call.  I’ve had Empaths completely forget conversations and directions that would lead to ejecting the Entity.  I had a client who had worked with me for years forget how to build altars and make sandpaintings.  I’ve had Empaths attack me personally for suggesting that their attachment to a Victim Stance was leaving the door open to the Opportunistic Entity while sounding nothing like their true selves.  The Entity doesn’t want to give up the attachment, and sometimes the Empath doesn’t want to give it up, either.  That is a valid choice.

If you suspect you have a deal with an Opportunistic Entity, and you want to be released from the contract, you will have to not just have the extraction done, but you will have to change your life dramatically.  First, the original contract with its benefit to you personally has to be looked at.  Then you’ll have to ask yourself whether you want to give up the mindset that keeps the contract in place.  Because if you don’t change your life, the Entity or one just like it will return to take its place.  The shaman can extract again and again, but it is the Empath and the Entity who make the deal between them.  The shaman doesn’t break the deal, the Empath does.

However, if you are willing to change your life, step out of the Victim Stance, and be vigilant about falling back into any Victim Role behavior or mindset, extracting an Entity is straightforward.  The Entity might retaliate briefly in an attempt to scare you into powerlessness, such as one Entity who shook a client’s bedside table after an extraction in an attempt to scare her back into vulnerability, but the Entity can’t reattach without some sort of agreement in place.  So in that way, we need not fear more attachments if we do our work and step back into personal power and personal responsibility. 

If you suspect you have one of these attachments and are willing to do the work, now is the time.  Given how fast human consciousness is shifting right now, it’s a great time to change your life and release yourself from these old ways of being.  Once you have finished your work, if you have children of your own, it’s probably a good idea to have them checked for Opportunistic Entities as well.  Parents who have an Entity attached unconsciously set up an environment that makes it likely that the young children in the home will also be vulnerable.  Empath parents, when they don’t have Opportunistic Entities attached, tend have good energetic radar and provide good psychic protection.  If you have an Entity, assume your radar is not working properly until you have completely your own personal work.

Let me know if you have further questions!

much love,

Elaine

Welcome 2012, Year of the Dragon!

January 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Happy New Year, Everyone!

As most of you are already aware, winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere) 2012 marks the end of a long cycle of ever increasing expansion and transformation in consciousness.  I’m sure most of you in the past few years have experienced your life changing at an uncomfortable pace.  This is the perfect time to work on old patterns that have been holding us back–the opportunity is here for incredible personal work that can change our lives for the better, and that in turn will affect the collective as well.

I also am feeling the need to address my own tendency to resist changes that I know need to be made.  I’ve been working on a collection of essays now for the past 4 years or so that I intended to compile into a book so that more people would have access to my experiences with clients, especially Empaths and those called to the shamanic path.  At first I thought I would be able to both see clients and concentrate on writing.  However, for more than two years now I’ve known deep down that in order to write consistently I needed to let myself be a hermit and step away from one-on-one work.   Two and a half years ago I became very ill, and my allies made it clear I needed to stop working and focus on writing.  I even declared to my colleague, Vanessa Wolf, right before a shamanic training six month later, that this was my intention. 

Well, that was 2009, and it’s 2012!  My goodness, what happened?  I get such a reward from working with clients one-on-one.  Coaching combined with Shamanic work is incredibly powerful and moves people into their own power very quickly.  But, I think I became a bit addicted to working in this way.  My husband pointed out to me that I hadn’t taken significant time off except when I was ill since my son was born.  (He’s five years old)  I didn’t believe him because I had scheduled sabbaticals and thought I had taken them.  But, when I went back and looked through my old appointment books I saw that he was right!  It was a very strange wake up call.

Working directly with clients is very rewarding, but it is draining as well.  By not taking sufficient time off I wasn’t taking care myself.  Plus, on top of this, I think I’m actually a bit apprehensive about declaring myself a writer and arranging my working life around writing.  There’s a wonderful saying in Improv training–Go When Most Afraid!  So, here I am, finally ready to commit and just go.

So, my focus for the next two and a half years will be to write and publish those essays plus mythic fictional stories about the souls journey.  I intend to publish here on my website first and then on amazon soon after.  I welcome questions, suggestions, and comments on what you would like to read about.  I am always surprised by how much knowledge I’ve integrated in the past ten years that is not commonly known to most Empaths.  Your questions help draw that knowledge out.

While I’m away from my practice, for those of you who are drawn to shamanic energywork, please contact Vanessa Wolf or Hilda Porro.  If you are in Germany contact Irina Dittert.  These are amazing shaman.  You will be in good hands with them.  If you are looking for good mentoring and training, visit the Four Winds Society, Kimmapii Spirit Energies, and Sacred Pathways.

May your 2012 be highly transformative and joyous!

much love,

Elaine

Change is in the air!

August 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone,

I hope your summer has been filled with fun so far!  It is hard to believe it is already August.  I am happy to announce a few changes that are finally in the works.  In the next month or so my website will have a different look.  You’ll still be able to find any pages you have bookmarked, but my home page and my blog will change.  I’ve had this website for close to eight years now, and I wanted to have it reflect more of the person I have morphed into over that time.

Also, my practice is now full for the rest of the year.  If you wanted to work with a shaman and haven’t already contacted me please contact Greta Holmes, Hilda Porro, or Vanessa Golding.  All three are fantastic shaman that have worked on me and my loved ones.

And finally, on a personal note, I have had many questions from friends and clients who are dealing with so much turmoil this past year on how to stay sane and not give up in despair.  Change does seem to be in the air for everyone, and the transformation process can be very uncomfortable.  It’s important to remember that each of us is on Journey–our Soul’s are here to learn certain lessons and have fun by being creative.  We want to be as self-responsible as we can and take care of our personal sphere–our selves, our loved ones–and try to not focus so much on the group-think despair.  One person at a time, let’s clean up our own mess as much as we can, love our lives as much as we can, and know that in doing that we are changing the group-think around us for the better.  Change is messy, but it can lead to such expansive wonderful new life.  If your life is upside down at the moment, envision what you want it to expand into–more love for yourself, more fun, whatever it is that feeds your soul.  Take one little step toward it, and you are using your creative powers for the good of yourself and ultimately everyone around you.

much love to all of you,

Elaine

Drama Triangle Chapter now Available

February 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone!

I hope all is well with you this mid-winter.  My family has just recovered from a bout of the flu.  Luckily, although inconvenienced, we are all well and ready to return back to work.  I just published on my website the 2nd chapter from my book, The Fulfilled Empath.  This chapter deals with the Drama Triangle of Disempowerment and how Empaths can waste their energy and lifeforce playing roles in other people’s Dramas.  If you’ve been a client of mine, you know how leaving the Triangle can free up energy for so many creative endeavors.  Also, I’ve published a copy of the Introduction to the Book.  In March I’m planning to publish a new audio for Empaths as well.   I hope you enjoy!   much love, Elaine

Empath Telecalls are Once again Available

January 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

2010 was a very busy year of personal work and personal fun for me.  I spent the first half of the year revisiting the second half of the medicine wheel with Marv and Shannon of Kimmapii Spirit Energies in Alberta Canada.  After that hard work, I spent the second half of the year celebrating with friends and family while enjoying a return to physical health.  I now feel ready to return to my practice with full focus!

I am taking just a few clients at this time through word of mouth only.  I have also returned to writing and recording audios about my work with Empaths.  I have had several requests for the audios and essays that were available for purchase in 2009.  Those will be once again available on my website, and a few ebooks will follow in the coming weeks, along with new audios and essays for those of you who have been patiently waiting for more.
I have been working steadily on my book on the Fulfilled Empath, but I’ve discovered that this book is complex–so I cannot predict when I’ll put into print as a physical tome.  While I am working on it, I’ll post as much as I can on my website for purchase ahead of time so you can enjoy it now instead of later. My goal is to offer my experience as I can now through the website.

Thank you again for your interest and your support!

love,

Elaine
