Let’s define each separately an then explore them from their symbolic perspectives.

Vampire -  In traditional folklore The living dead who once invited preys on the blood of their victim finally turning them into living dead or killing them.  The archetype of a vampire something or someone who preys ruthlessly on others, giving the illusion of bestowing power and immortality to the victim.

A Vampire is always invited into the home.  You could say that Bernard Madoff is a modern day vampire.  His victims invited him into their financial lives and where blinded by the possibility of lucrative gain.  Secret societies are also examples of a vampiric structure. It is very difficult to remove a vampire from your life because you are seduced by the magnetism and power of a vampire.  In order to get rid of a vampire you must bring it into the light of day and completely burn it or it may return.

Parasite – An organism that lives in or on another organism (host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the hosts expense  A parasite archetype is a person or institution which habitually relies on or exploits others and gives nothing in return.

Unlike a vampire, a parasite is not invited specifically but takes advantage of an open door to enter.  People who have parasites preying on them often feel like victims, which just weakens the host and gives the parasite more of a strong hold.  Removing parasites may be difficult or simple, depending on how deep and widespread the parasite or parasites may be.  A parasite lives off of a weakened condition as opposed to a vampire which looks for a strong host.   If we were to look at current institutions, one could say that the bank credit system and the health industry have a parasitic relationship to the people.  They are stronger when the people are weak, but they have no desire to kill off the people, just feed off them.

Symbiote - from the french to live together.  An organism that lives with another organism (host), the relationship may or may not be beneficial to both parties. Lately our culture is using fiction, in particular science fiction and comics to explore this archetype. are using this as this can be a very dramatic relationship.

A symbiote is most interesting because there is no clear understanding of which side most benefits.  It is in the best interest of both the host and the symbiote to provide the best conditions for each other in order to survive.  Some symbiotic relationships allow the host to thrive, others create a great deal of trauma. The ending the symbiotic relationship usually is the demise of both the symbiote and the host, unless both are able to find a new separate symbiotic relationships.  Most good marriages are symbiotic.  The relationship of the media and entertainment industry to people is also an example of symbiosis.

A symbiotic relationship requires alertness and consciousness so the balance of power does not shift from the host to the symbiote.

Chronic conditions associated with each of these types of relationships.  A chronic disease is a disease that lasts for three months or more.  These are some possibilities of diseases associated with these archetypes.

Vampire – Depression, Cancer, Lyme, Chronic Fatigue, Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Parasite – Arthritis, Depression, Cancer, Chronic Fatigue, Lyme, Crone’s

Symbiote – Arthritis, Cancer, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Diabetes, Syndrome X

Become aware of these archetypes in your life.  Bring them to the light of day so you can create a thriving happier, healthier life.

When was the last time you laughed so hard you could hardly catch your breath? Generating laughter is one of the best things you can do for yourself and others.

Studies have shown that laughter can do wonderful things for you.  Laughter creates movement in your energy body as well.  Laughter is mostly energetic, which is why it is so contagious.

The body has three barriers to the outside world, each of which are opportunities to defend itself from negative forces or incorporate positive forces.

When was the last time you laughed so hard you could hardly catch your breath? Generating laughter is one of the best things you can do for yourself and others.

Studies have shown that laughter can do wonderful things for you.  Laughter creates movement in your energy body as well.  Laughter is mostly energetic, which is why it is so contagious.

The body has three barriers to the outside world, each of which are opportunities to defend itself from negative forces or incorporate positive forces.

The first layer is the aura, the second is the skin and alimentary canal and finally the immune system.

Laughter on an energetic level strengthens each of these layers.  Laughter also removes or moves the stagnant energies in these layers.

When you have a good laugh the aura gets revitalized and fluffed.  Every time the aura gets revitalized the aura will bounce negative energies from entering your system.  The laughter also serves to move the negative vibrations out of your aura. If you had a picture of your aura, you would see it get brighter and change color. The more you consistently laugh you will find your aura remain brighter. There’s a reason for the sparkle in someones eye when thinking of something funny. That sparkle is light that shines throughout your energy body.

• Laughter fluffs up the aura by sending vibrations through the auric field.  The movement of your body as you laugh contributes to the aura fluffing.

• Positive thoughts are predominant while laughing.  It is impossible to have negative thoughts while laughing.

• Laughter rejuvenates the chakras, nadis and meridians.

• Laughter combats fear, worry and stress.

The act of laughing brings oxygen into your body.  Your skin and blood becomes revitalized when you have more oxygen.  The brain receives more oxygen, signaling the autonomic nervous system.  The autonomic nervous system, tells the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) that all is well.  The relaxation of the sympathetic system allows for more flow of blood towards the skin.  Strengthening the barrier against items that might pass this barrier.

These are some of the benefits to the immune system.

1. Boosts the immune system
2. Lowers blood pressure
3. Reduces stress hormones
4. Increases muscle flexion
5. Boosts immune function
6. Raises levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies.
7. Triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
8. Produces a general sense of well-being.

What to do…

If you are suffering from any form of dis-ease, physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.  Remember to laugh.  You will feel better.

A day is wasted when there is no laughter in it.  So laugh, tell a joke, take yourself lightly, watch a funny movie.  Smile.  Make laughter a habit.

If you feel you can’t spontaneously laugh… watch this video.   I promise this is good energy medicine.

The next thing to do is share this with your friends and family.  After all laughter is contagious.  Have a good laugh with everyone you know.  If you have a funny joke or story, please share it in the comments below.

Come back often and laugh with me. Let’s make some fun energy medicine together and send squeels of laughter throughout our lives and out to our world.

I cannot stress how important meditation is for health and healing. I have worked with thousands of people in my career as a medical intuitive and healer. 9 out of 10 of those people don’t have a regular meditation practice. Yet they come to me not understanding why their visualizations and affirmations are not working. The first thing I do with every client and student is make a pact with them to meditate twice a day.

It is my opinion that if you don’t have a regular meditation practice when you are healthy you are setting yourself up for a harder path if you start meditating when something is wrong.

Most of us start meditating, praying, visualizing and affirming when times are hard and when we are in pain. We cannot seem to sit for even two minutes a day every day, practicing stilling the mind, watching our thoughts or paying attention to our breath. We find many excuses not to do it.

Some of us sit down for a few minutes and find that our minds are so chaotic that we give up. It is difficult enough to tame the mind when we are feeling well. We need to practice every day.

What makes us think that we can tame the mind and order it to focus on affirmations when we are in pain or up against a wall? We practice our meditation to get rid of the pain, but in essence the attention is on the pain. We are focused on what we want to get away from and not what we want to go towards.

When we are in pain, our mind will focus on the pain. We need to practice now while we are not in pain, while we have a choice. We practice meditation and visualization when we can lead our minds to where we want to lead it. We train our minds to go where we want now. Then when a crisis hits, when we are in pain we can guide the mind towards healing meditations and it will go there without too much of a fight.

The best reasons for meditation is to reduce stress, come to your “happy place” and to become best friends with yourself.

Two and One Half Minute Meditation

So you say you can’t sit for 30 minutes? You don’t have time? Can’t sit still? Too many interuptions? I have created a 2.5 minute meditation will bring you to a place of stillness in 2.5 minutes. Can you spare 2.5 minutes out of your day to receive the benefits of meditation?

The Inner Counselor Process was developed by Ann and Bob Nunley.  It is an excellent process that speaks to the heart of a particular issue.  Allowing you to find its origin to transform and transmute that issue.  The Inner Counselor Process provides an alternative to being in therapy for years and years.  Yet the Inner Counselor Process is a very gentle process.

The Inner Counselor Process is not only a psychological process but a spiritual process as well.  According to Abraham Maslow there are ten basic needs.  If one of these ten basic needs are not met, we learn to compensate in order to get what we need.  The compensation is often a protective reaction that may not always be appropriate.

Abraham Maslow’s Ten Basic Needs

1. strength
2. creativity
3. freedom
4. control
5. acceptance
6. connection
7. love
8. trust
9. peace
10. joy

Inner Counselor process begins by naming a particular issue that is bothering you.  The body usually manifests a feeling, connected to the issue.  Sometimes the feeling manifests as a physical symptom as well.

An example would be,  you are in a traffic jam and get road rage.  You may feel this as a tightening of your gut .  This is just an example of how this particular feeling of rage may show up, it may manifest somewhere else or differently.  The Inner Counselor Process will then help you examine why you feel so enraged by seeking other times in your life when you had the same feeling in your gut.  You may find that it is caused by feeling out of control.  You are then guided to finding other times in your life when you felt out of control and had the same feeling in your gut  You continue following the feeling until you reach an original time you felt out of control with this same feeling in your gut.

The rage manifests itself as a protective reaction to feeling out of control.  This protective reaction may have assisted you at one time but may no longer be appropriate and is actually holding you back.

You are then guided to find a different way of reacting to the stimulus which is extremely effective. This is where the process shines.

A session may last around a hour and usually is very profound.

The Inner Counselor Process is just one of the tools I use during a Medical Intuitive Session.  A medical intuitive in my opinion, is only as good as the tools they have to help you heal. They must also have a broad knowledge of many modalities and therapies for referral.  I am available to facilitate the Inner Counselor Process.  The process can be done by phone or in person.
