I truly believe that there is tremendous magic enclosed in what triggers us.
This may sound crazy because triggers can feel downright HORRIBLE!
You know why they feel so unpleasant?
TO GET OUR ATTENTION!
I see triggers as old energy, bubbling up to the surface, giving us the opportunity to address them and clean them up.
And when this old energy is finally handled, it’s like another bit of your perception windshield is clear. And life gets better and better. And the path before us becomes more clear and more FUN.
And I get it…the problem is, of course, how does one do this energy cleaning?
Well, I have made it my life’s work to figure this stuff out. And as I discover more and more tools to address my triggers, believe it or not, I have gotten to the place that no matter how upset I feel at any time, I know that when I am ready, I will sit down, pick up my pendulum, and start getting to the heart of the trigger.
And my intention is to keep finding useful tools to share with you, so that you can feel increasingly more and more powerful and less afraid.
So, stay tuned my fellow sensitive souls! We are sensitive for a reason. How we feel MATTERS. These sensitivities are GIFTS. And my mission is to help my fellow empaths understand our own unique magic so we can bring our light to a world in chaos.
The world needs us more than ever.
Are you ready?

I AM WORTHY
I am really fortunate…don’t get me wrong, I know it. I live in a, well, sort of free country. I’m healthy. I have a home, food, work I love, a loving supportive husband, etc. You get the idea. However, despite all of these amazing things for which I am grateful, I have been feeling really uninspired. And the part that gets me down is that I tend to make it mean that I am not good enough. That I am unworthy. If I am not creating something, or hard at work with clients or on a project, I’m not worthy.
Addressing, head on, my “not good enough” issues has been an ongoing project for years, but has been more in my face in this last year. It’s all for the good as I am really looking at it directly and learning more about myself, and ultimately all of us.
Last year I discovered that when I am earning less money, I allow it to affect my sense of self worth. What?!?! That is insane! And now, having a few uninspired days, I am feeling unworthy once again. Sheesh.
When I can get over myself for a second, I remember that we are ALL worthy, simply because we are. Because we exist. Because we are all extensions of source energy, which in my paradigm, is pure love and perfection. And by that logic, we are all perfect and our challenge in these bodies is to learn what we need to learn and slowly but surely remember who we really are.
So…if I am indeed worthy despite these feelings, how can I reframe my feelings in order to move through it with more grace and ease?
One thing I know is that I have been pretty tightly wound for my entire life. I have been nervous/sensitive to varying degrees since early childhood, despite my intact household, having friends, food, shelter, good grades, blah blah blah. Over the last year, I have been working on allowing myself to relax, which sometimes equals me watching TV all day and playing on the computer. I will check in with my guides and ask if I should be doing something else, and I usually get a thumbs up to my “lazy” behavior.
The thing is, I am slowly learning that when I allow myself to trust my body, and indulge in behavior that would terrify the go-getters among us, I feel better. Hmmm…imagine that! And when I am given the freedom to do this, I find myself more motivated at other times. The trick at these moments of motivation is to not buy into my old mindset of “now I am worthy…look how much I have accomplished”.
I am worthy because I am. Because I exist. Because I am an extension of Source energy. Period.
Another important thing to remember in order to maintain sanity is to NOT compare ourselves with others. When I do this, it is often a one-way ticket to Shameville, and it is bullshit! I may look at someone who sees more clients than me, writes more articles, makes more and better videos than me and makes a ton of money. But the thing is, I don’t know what her inner life is like. I don’t see her struggles, and we ALL have them! Who knows…she may look at ME and feel less than because I have love in my life and that eludes her. You just never know. And it is absolutely none of my business what anyone else is doing, unless I choose to use what I observe as inspiration for myself, or fuel for compassion and love for them.
I am worthy because I am. Because I exist. Because I am an extension of Source energy.
When this is happening, we can also look at what is triggering us. I have been a broken record lately, telling everyone and their brother that the magic of healing resides in our triggers, if only we will look at them and resolve them. I believe that when we are being triggered, it is something to look at. Something bubbling up from deep inside us, awaiting it’s clearing and healing. Triggers, as uncomfortable as they are, are truly gifts to us.
When I looked at what was triggered in me with this current round of un-inspiration, I found that I had made a “vow” to turn off/stop my “magic” at age 3. I cleared the vow and then found that a piece of my soul fragmented off due to the emotional and psychic trauma of making that promise. I reintegrated that soul fragment that contained protected energy of magic. And that’s all she wrote. (If you are wondering what I am talking about, this is the energetic work that I do),
There are a myriad of ways to clean up your triggers, and this just happens to be the way I do it! And after I clear a trigger, life gets a little (or a lot!) brighter. One less bit of energetic slime to see and experience the world through. Ahhhh.
I am worthy because I am. Because I exist. Because I am an extension of Source energy.
Another way I am able to come to terms with feeling unworthy is through artistic expression, as in writing this article. It helps me to bare my soul, to be vulnerable. I am really learning the value of vulnerability. When I can be vulnerable, and stand bravely in my tender feelings, in front of others, it magically allows for more connection.
I receive channeled messages from my dear guide/helper Lon, and sometimes these messages get downright personal. And when I put these messages out for anyone to see/hear them, I feel quite exposed and shaky. But what I have experienced from allowing myself to be seen, is that so many other people are experiencing the same thing. This allows all of us to have more compassion for each other and ourselves, and feel more connected in our human experience. It’s quite beautiful.
Well, I have to say, I feel better now! And believe it or not, I am grateful for this time of feeling uninspired and therefore unworthy as it has led me to even more healing and expansion of my spirit.
I am worthy because I am. Because I exist. Because I am an extension of Source energy.
And so are we all.

Whenever I am energetically checking a person, animal, office or home, one of the first things I check for is dead people.
When I say “dead people”, I am referring mainly to those souls who passed away, but still linger on this plane…they are stuck.
This is what I have learned from my personal dealings with them and helping clients with them: they tend to have died “tragically”. By this I mean they were murdered, suicides, sudden accident, traumatic illness, etc. Their vibrations tend to be very low, and as a result, many of us (who are sensitive) can “feel their stuff”.
I always use the example of who this group is NOT…they are never the kindly old grandma, who lived a long happy life, who passes gently in the night surrounded by loved ones. Those souls tend to move on to whatever our next step is. I refer to this as “moving on to the light”.
When I come across someone who has not yet moved on, I ask them if they are ready to do so. If I receive a “yes”, I ask my dead-person-go-to-guy/escort, Jesus, if he is the one to help them move on. More often than not, Jesus is the guy! On rare occasions, they want someone else.
If they are not yet ready to move on, I ask them what they need in order to be ready to “go to the light”. Often times, it is some trapped negative emotional energy they need cleared. Or perhaps some “curse” energy lifted. Sometimes they are energetically
“corded” to someone or something or have taken a “vow” that is preventing them from leaving this plane. At times, they have something that they need to say.
Whatever their request, I help them with it until they are finally ready to move on. At that point I call on Jesus and we do our thing to help them move on. It’s actually pretty simple.
Now, this is not to be confused with a spirit who has moved on, but comes back to hang out. For example, a parent who remains with you in spirit and you can sense at times. If it is someone like this, and they spook you, or you would prefer that they show themselves in another way, just talk to them and make your request, such as “Mom…please don’t get my attention by opening and closing my cupboard doors!”
I always tell my clients that one way to determine if you have a dead person attached to you is if you feel unlike yourself or like you, but “times 1000”. For example…one day I was driving to my dentist and I was driving like a real jackass! I was weaving in and out of traffic, getting really agitated, throwing my hands up in the air to express my outrage to others. Yikes! I even said, to myself, out loud…”I am driving like a dude”.
When I got home, I expected my husband to be home and he wasn’t. I immediately started crying like a crazy person (as he is allowed to leave the house!) and then it hit me…I was not only feeling like someone else, but also feeling super emotional (I am emotional) but over the top emotional…times 1000!
I checked myself and found that I had “picked up” a dead man. I figured out what he needed and let him go. Within moments I felt fine again and my husband called from the scooter store, asking me to come join him. All was well again!
When these lower vibrational souls are in us, or in our space, they can lower our vibrations, or the vibrations of our homes and offices. When they are able to move on, the change in energy is often palpable.

Alternate title…Know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em.
Man…I feel like I am in that uncomfortable, yet valuable and necessary location called “Lesson City”! Lesson City is located between and Discomfort Junction and Relief Town. The trick here is to be willing to heed the lessons, learn from them and move on more powerfully than before.
With the work that I do, and becoming more and more energetically sensitive, I find myself fine tuning all the time, and lately this has resulted in situations where I have to re-evaluate relationships that have been dragging me down.
Historically, I, like many of us, have found it “easier” to keep trudging along, tolerating people who I have either outgrown, or that I have allowed to treat me in ways that are unacceptable. And the longer I accept this behavior, the more difficult it is to rectify it without drama. Ugh.
So, my question is…how do we nip this stuff in the bud? Or…what is the best way to let someone go?
First, we need to determine if the relationship is salvagable…is there enough good there to make confronting the icky stuff worth it?
What I have found just recently is that when I tried to have some clear, honest communication with a person that I was having this issue with, it was immediately taken by her as hurt, and insult and betrayal. And I hadn’t even brought up the issue yet. I just asked if we could talk about something!
The good news in this scenario is that her reaction gave me even more clarity about whether I wanted our relationship to continue or not…and I choose NOT.
In the last several years, I have become very choosy about with whom I spend my time. And as a result, I have had to let some people go, some of which are very old friends. Some friends and I call it “contract over”. I do not believe that we need to hold onto every person that we have ever met in our lives. We are continuously growing (hopefully!) and changing. The people who cannot grow and change, whose stories are the same, year after year, without any attempt to remedy it or get to the heart of the problem, are people that I can’t afford to spend time and energy with.
I believe that this all boils down to self love and a feeling of worthiness. And the more that I love myself and know that I am worthy of feeling good, the more I am able to let go of what is no longer working for me. Knowing that when I am taking care of myself first, I am in a much stronger and powerful position to help others do the same.
Admittedly, I have not yet perfected my “dismount” from these relationships, but I am working on it and learning as much as I can with each release so that the next one can be smoother and less stressful. And I would imagine that there will always be an inherent discomfort and sometimes sadness in doing this. However, the question is…which is worse in the long run…maintaining the relationship with all of the energetic crap it holds, or to rip off the band aid and deal with some temporary discomfort to get eventual relief?
This certainly takes some energy to be willing to confront this, but believe me, it is worth it in the long run. And, by doing this, it makes you really appreciate those in your life who you value and who value you.

Accessing the Magic
For those of you who know me, I am a huge proponent of asking for help, but probably not in the way you might be thinking. I encourage people to ask their non-physical helpers for assistance.
Whether you are aware of it or not, we are all surrounded by lovely beings in various forms who are ready, willing and able to help us. We simply need to ask.
Before I get to the “how” of it, let me tell you about my helpers. I playfully refer to them as my “A Team”. Honestly, I probably have never seen even 1 episode of this 80’s “classic”, but I pity the fool who doesn’t take advantage of the magic of his or her own A Team!
Let me just say, I don’t see my helpers visually. Sometimes I feel them and sometimes I get messages from them. It’s funny, but as I write this, I keep getting the signal from one of my main helpers, Lon, that he wants to be a part of this article. The way he signals me is by making my right eye twitch and man, has my eye been twitching in the last few minutes!
I will go into more detail about this later, but for now, just know that Lon is an ET. I get that he is a tall grey and lives somewhere around Orion. I don’t study ET stuff, but I have heard some people refer, across the board, to greys as bad. This is not the case with Lon. To me, that is like saying that all Americans are rude. We are not all the same.
When Lon first appeared in my work sessions with clients, it was clear that he was with 2 others…another male and a female. I lovingly refer to them as “the gang”. After some time, and a huge amount of disbelief (I wasn’t looking to connect with ETs), I asked if I could assign them each a name, just for the sake of ease of identification. They agreed. I originally called them Fred, Susie and Terry, but over the next year or so, they each revealed their names: Lon, Star and Hall. They are light workers and are here for our highest good. They have been lovely and so helpful on so many occasions. At times they have requested my assistance as well. At this point, I consider them part of my family.
I also have other ET helpers, mostly from Arcturus, but also some Pleiadian and Andromedan. Jesus and Buddha are big helpers as well. I also receive guidance form a Native American gentleman from the 1800’s and a council of elders who step in on occasion, among others. These are the beings who have made themselves known to me, but I am sure that there are many others helping out as well. And to be clear: you do not have to have a formal introduction in order to ask your team for assistance!
Here is my take on this subject: We, on this planet, are here to experience free will. The angels and other helpers are not supposed to override this and are waiting for us to, in essence, “sign their permission slip” to assist us.
Anyway…this is how I instruct my clients to ask their team for help.
1) Ask for what you want. I believe that there is magic in saying it out loud. And don’t censor yourself…ask for what you really want. Don’t decide that you can’t ask for something because it “isn’t spiritual enough” or not lofty enough. Let your helpers determine if what you are requesting is for your highest good and worthy of their energy! And consider this. If your helpers are higher vibrational, multi-dimensional, more enlightened beings than ourselves, then they are going to see what is possible for us from a much broader perspective than most of us can with our human blinders on! So, even if you can’t determine HOW they could make it happen, don’t worry about it.
2) Know that you have been heard. This was the biggest challenge for me when I started playing with this idea, but once I got it, I really got it.
What I have found is that, for me, sometimes I have to learn things in a big, bold, in-my-face way in order to really get it. So, one day, I was driving down my street and honestly, I don’t remember any details, but it was like a bolt of lightening struck me (figuratively, of course!) and I burst into tears and just KNEW in no uncertain terms, that I am always heard. It was profound for me. And the Universe never misses an opportunity to give a lovely signal or “wink” at these times. When I got home a few minutes later, I received a letter from my bank (with whom I had been fighting regarding my student loan payment amount) stating that I was to pay NOTHING for another year. I had been asking my helpers to assist me with this for quite a while and now here was my evidence. It felt like nothing short of pure magic. So, if you can, make it easy on yourself and just KNOW that you are being heard!
And finally,
3) Let go of the outcome. Don’t be attached to how you think it is “supposed” to look or when it “should” happen. This too can be a challenge, but do your best! With my student loan drama, I truly believed that I should be paying about $400 per month and would have been happy with that. Imagine my glee when my letter stated, “zero”. The moral of this story is, be open to the outcome being even better than what you asked for!
As I mentioned earlier, my helper Lon, was trying to get my attention as he very much wants to be part of these articles. This is what he has for anyone reading this.
He offers any of you to call on him specifically for assistance. I highly recommend it because he is amazing. I consider this to be a very generous offer!
Also, we have infused this article with the following:
- Energy to help you find your community
- Energy to help facilitate further spiritual expansion
- Energy to help raise your vibration
- Energy of magic…my favorite!
- Healing energy for anyone in need of it.
We are in a very powerful time of change and the more you can energetically keep up with it, the easier and more magical it will be!
Have fun with this and see what “magic” you can access by simply asking for help!
Until next time!

How to Cultivate and Practice the Art of Allowing
Re-posted from Create Your Own Reality Radio
Listen now or download my conversation with energy healer Dr. Colleen McCann
Practicing the art of allowing means you are flowing, surrendering and trusting the creative process while forcing means you are in a place of constriction, distrust and fear.
Attempting to force something into existence is going against the current of life. The key to the art of allowing is settling into the awareness that we are a part of a loving and supportive universe that is here to manifest what we want.
According to Colleen we are all surrounded by helpers and guides in non-physical form who are waiting for us to ask for help. She points out that we are here to experience free will and it is not up to our guides to step in and help. They understand what we are here to learn and go through. When you ask for help, you essentially give them “permission” to intercede on your behalf and begin orchestrating what you want.
Colleen offers the following three-point plan for practicing the art of allowing:
- Ask for what you want
- Know that you have been heard
- Let it go
I, like many others, get tripped up on the third step. I have a hard time trusting the process. But I find the more I let things go, the more opportunities there are for me to see the results. These experiences stack and build trust.
In our conversation, Colleen offers several ways to communicate with non-physical guides including the use of a pendulum and/or muscle testing, as well as paying attention to the way your body feels. Check out our conversation to learn more.
