Intuition – Bridging the Paradigms: re-connecting people and the planet

What Pushes Your Intuitive Energetic Boundaries?

February 2, 2014 by Robyn Leave a Comment

If I ever doubted the need for firm energetic boundaries, the last month would have clinched it. I watched clients deal with trauma, I developed shingles, and on Jan. 8 my dog Alki and I were mauled by a neighbor’s loose dog and severely injured.

I’ll tell you about my inspiring, and harrowing, month, but first, how are your energetic boundaries?

Checking Our Energetic Boundaries

We all experience times when our boundaries are shaken by people, events, family, work, the news. Here are clues to whether yours need attention:

You feel overwhelmed in public, oversensitive, irritated, or just tired.
You have low self-esteem or self-worth.
Clients and family drain you or make you doubt yourself.
You feel you do not deserve prosperity or abundance.
You give everything away: your energy, spirit, time, money.
You never put yourself first.

If you can relate to this, sign up for my free newsletter or check my website for our upcoming workshop on energetic boundaries.

In December Fallon and I used intense space clearing and personal energy work to help clients and their homes and businesses deal with abuse at the same time as I faced it myself. Then, within two weeks, I suffered stress-induced shingles and my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel boy, Alki, and I were mauled by the neighbor’s loose Kerry blue terrier. I have been in scary situations before, but I’ve never been more terrified than I was that night, when I knew I was fighting for Alki’s life, and my own, and that we were not coming out of it intact.

Yes, life throws you curve balls: so how do you catch them?

Stress and Energetic Boundaries

We are so used to stress in our busy lives that we tend to think of it as an emotional reaction to daily demands at work and home, something we just live with. But stress has physical and psychic consequences that can damage our lives for years if we don’t properly handle them. As more of us experience the expansion of our intuitive abilities, the effects of stress reverberate in our bodies, souls, psychic lives, and home and business spaces. We deal with that, and become our best selves, when we create firm boundaries—when we learn to say “no” and how to reinforce that “no” energetically.

In the last month I watched beautiful, suffering clients stand up and said “no” to old forces that both disrupted and impaired their lives. Two things happened: they courageously, firmly, and gracefully claimed their unique power and healthy, beautiful futures for themselves and their spaces, and they learned to develop and maintain strong physical, emotional, and spiritual energetic boundaries. What a new year these brave, loving people are greeting!

But there’s more.

I know about boundaries, I teach them—very few intuitives actually understand, let alone teach, boundaries—and yet on Dec. 26 I woke up with stress-induced shingles. Yes, crap happens, I’m sorry to say, but I knew exactly what had happened, so once the medical solutions were in place, I re-examined my boundaries.

That led me to claim a love that put my integrity and choice first. It’s deeper, richer, better than I could have imagined just days earlier. However, it excludes things I thought were necessary, firmly ending one long chapter in my life. Just like my clients, I said “no” to energetic violations, because our deep, loving hearts need effective boundaries to get along, and ahead, in life.

On Jan. 8 those boundaries were challenged again as I fought to save Alki’s life, and my own, during a vicious attack from a loose dog intent on killing both of us.

Alki and I were both severely injured, but I am grateful to say that we survived, and that many wonderful people, including strangers, have stepped in to help us, as I cannot drive for a long time—besides bruises and a crushing injury to my leg that bled for 12 days and is still swollen and deeply bruised, I have a torn thumb ligament, my hand is splinted for at least a month, and even if I do not need surgery, I will have long weeks of recovery and therapy ahead of me.

Wonderful people, some strangers, some people I am only beginning to know, have provided both physical support (transportation, errands, computer advice, essential oils, among others) and emotional support, which I badly needed. As many know, I have been handicapped for more than 25 years, and, just as I was finally thriving, I am now facing a long recovery.

Worse, we learned that Alki’s life has changed completely. He turned 12 on Christmas Day (82 in human years), is mostly deaf, and had mild heart disease. The morning after the attack (and my urgent, middle-of-the-night trip to Swedish ER in Seattle) his vet discovered puncture wounds inside his lip, a loose tooth, and physical trauma from getting pounded and torn at by a dog twice his size (and vicious). When his soreness worsened I had him X-rayed: we learned that he has mild to moderate spondylosis from his neck to his pelvis, swelling from trauma has made him stiff all over, and he still cannot raise his tail.

But it gets worse, much worse: his mild heart disease has suddenly escalated. On Jan. 20 an ultrasound done by his cardiologist confirmed a Grade 4/6 mitral valve and Grade 3/6 tricuspid valve disease, up from a soft Grade 2/6 and 0/6: overnight, his heart disease escalated into a severe, disabling condition that will shorten his life and forever rules out his beloved long walks, even as he is too traumatized to even want to go outside, and too battered to move comfortably.

I am devastated: my family has been robbed of time together, plus whatever time we have is compromised by Alki’s severe disability.

Making Energetic Boundary Choices

Here are the energetic boundary choices I had: to ignore my neighbor’s responsibility, essentially forgive and move on, or take action.

While I refuse to linger in bitterness and resentment (although I recommend setting a buzzer for 20 minutes and screaming, yelling, crying, whatever you need to get it out, which relieves stress and strengthens your boundaries), I am figuring out how to go to Seattle City Council and advocate for a change in the city’s dog laws so non-aggressive dogs and their loving families don’t need to arm themselves to safely navigate their neighborhoods. That includes figuring out how we can all live together in a city where ER visits for dog bites happen on a daily basis (as it now does), how to get people to adequately train their dogs, how to more easily remove aggressive dogs (and breeds) from the city, and how to properly support the victims of crime instead of the aggressors. We need calm, compassionate dialogue and real answers: status quo is not working. In over 15 years with dogs on Alki Beach in West Seattle my dogs have been attacked 3 times, other neighborhood dogs have been attacked, and it seems that the majority of dogs on the street represent breeds with known aggression problems and clueless owners.

In the meantime, life goes on. We are going to make it magnificent at our house while I continue to work with families as an intuitive, animal communicator, and articulate advocate on what it means to live the human-animal bond. No matter what. We are grateful to simply be here, and to know we have community.

That is the mindset that supports energetic boundaries. Practical applications, of course, include forgiveness while demanding (and getting) responsibility from the aggressors, effective energetic work, calmness, recovery time, and humor.

Now to those energetic boundaries.

We all experience times when our energetic boundaries are shaken by people, events, family, work, the news. Don’t delay learning how to manage them for yourself (they are different for each of us just as our intuitive abilities are different). Our boundaries always need attention. Stay vigilant, because we all lead busy lives, and it’s easy to get blind-sided. I’m living proof of getting knocked off track, and of reclaiming my life and my family’s.

Ready to shore up your energetic boundaries?

In the weeks ahead Fallon and I will be offering a workshop on energetic boundaries. Watch my website and email for the notice, and for other upcoming events, including workshops on intuitive communications, space clearing, mediumship, and animal communication.

Cheers to a new year, and firm energetic boundaries!

A Real Estate Space Clearing: Selling a Difficult Space

November 6, 2013 by Robyn Leave a Comment

an orb trio–it’s a clear space!

People think that because the real estate industry is picking up again, they don’t need any extra help selling a property. Maybe ‘move them on through’ is the American way, or maybe people just don’t realize what a benefit a clear space is to both sellers and buyers.

First, doesn’t everyone want to get the best deal they can when they’re selling (or buying) property? Of course, because it’s one of the biggest financial decisions we ever make. And we all like money.

But it’s more than that. Having a clear space to live in makes you healthier, because it soothes and nourishes you. That helps you get through the day better. That adds to the bottom line, regardless.

In addition, more people these days are sensitive to the unseen energies that are always around us, which means it’s harder to maintain your privacy. Yes, as odd as it may seem, when you sell a space, particularly a home, bits of your energy get left behind. That means sensitive people can learn things about you, whether they, or you, like it or not.

There’s enough about us on the Internet. Why complicate it by leaving bits of our energy signatures behind us?

So, you’re saying, what?

Here’s the thing. Everything is made of energy, and energy leaks. So as we go about our day, bits and pieces of what we’re thinking, feeling, and experiencing get left behind in the spaces we visit. Plus, the spaces themselves have feelings, and bits of those go with us. See how complicated life really is at the energetic level?

Well, it’s even more complicated at home, because we spend intimate time there, and because our homes are emotional beings who are very protective of us. Their jobs are to nurture us, and most of them take that seriously.

So, more on this in upcoming articles. For today, let’s explore a space clearing I did for a young man who was selling his condo in Bellevue, Washington. Here’s his testimonial, followed by more details:

Robyn worked with my home this fall and completely changed the vibe of the entire house. When I purchased this home in Bellevue about 3 years ago as a foreclosure I noticed some definite negative energy in the place. My partner and many of my friends got a spooky feeling when they were around the stairs or in the upstairs hallway. This led to an overall uneasiness for guests when they would come over. Now I’m trying to sell the home but that negative energy seems to be keeping people away. Robyn came over and walked through the home room by room and cleared all of the negative energy. There was a very noticeable change in the home when I came back next and my friends and Real Estate Agent completely felt it too: they were blown away. If I had known about this when I first purchased my home Robyn would have been hired on day 1. The home is more pleasant to be in and I’ve gotten 3 offers on the home within 2 months of hiring her. I also feel much better now that I know I’ll be providing a warm and inviting place to live for the next owner. — Zack in Seattle

Now, this man loved his condo, but had decided to leave his job in the high tech industry and move to Seattle, so he needed to sell it. At the time I cleared it, he had two young men renting it.

The problem was, it wouldn’t sell. He had purchased it as a foreclosure during the recession. The previous owner had literally disappeared, leaving several properties behind.

Now, I work by first discovering what the owner of a property needs and wants in a clearing (it can be anything from selling a property to creating a more vibrant space to live and work in).

Then I actually speak to the property itself, to find out what it needs and wants. In the case of a sale, it’s sometimes sad, as the property doesn’t always want its people to leave. Then it becomes a matter of gently explaining what has to happen (it’s an imperfect world, and none of us always gets what we want) and helping the space to call a new owner in.

This process includes vibrational, or energy clearing.

Much as dusting and vacuuming clear the physical space, space clearing clears the vibrations.

I call my modality Space Cooperating^SM because I get the humans and the space to cooperate. It goes beyond traditional space clearing, way beyond feng shui.

With this condo, I insisted on going through it only with the owner, because clearings tend to be emotional events and privacy is key to both the owner and the space.

After I arrived, the owner and I talked about what I learned from the space: that it wanted him to stay, it was prepared for a new owner, and the previous owner seemed to have experienced violence of some sort there. I became more concerned about that as we went through the space. No wonder people were having trouble living there, and the young man was having trouble selling it! As he explains in the testimonial above, people noticed something off about the place, no matter how wonderful the young owner was: I noticed that the previous owner had left a lot of chaotic, violent energy behind.

A deep cleansing was in order. We cleared out the previous owner’s trauma, and the condo’s trauma around that. Then we cleared the current energies. I used incense (copal works great for deep cleansings) and did alchemical energy clearing with my crystal partner, Fallon, the Citrine Lemurian Quartz, moving from room to room. The owner, the condo, and I talked and used alchemical energy to release negativity and heal the space.

At the end of a clearing I always go back through the space with my small (and trusty) Tibetan singing bowl; when I hit a space where the tone wobbles, I do more clearing work.

That’s how we uncovered the owner’s deep feelings for a broken relationship—a reason why I ask real estate agents to stay away from clearings. Deep emotions surface and are energetically cleansed, and healing can take place, here for the owner and the space. Without other people around, we can dig deep and help owners and their spaces resolve conflicts and move on, as was necessary here.

Did it work?

Yes.

I asked the owner to have the real estate agent come back and take new pictures of the condo. When she did she said to me, “I do energy work, too, but this is different. What did you do?”

I cleared the space with my partner, Fallon, in cooperation with the owner and the space itself. Beyond that, I can’t explain it (just like science can’t always explain how things work). It only matters that it works, and no one is harmed by the process.

The condo sold. Everyone was happy. My work was done.

Is Your Intuitive Engine Overheating? On Learning Intuition

October 8, 2013 by Robyn Leave a Comment

Is your intuitive engine overheating? Meaning, do you know when your intuition is at work, and do you know how to act on it? A lot of us don’t, which is too bad. Responding to an intuitive hit, knowing your intuition well enough to trust it, can literally be a game changer. And maybe save you a few bucks.

As in …

A few weeks ago I was out running errands. I had just put packages in my car when I heard the words, “Engine light. Engine overheating,” and saw the engine light on my dashboard go on. Surprised, I looked at my dashboard and realized I hadn’t even turned my car on yet. Of course, this was my intuition at work. I stopped and checked in with myself: my body was fine, but the incident left me with a deep foreboding.

Now, I was driving over the mountains in a few weeks, heading from Seattle to Ellensburg, WA, to, ironically, talk about using intuition in business at the new chapter of EWomen Network, run by Tara Truax. I decided to get an early oil change with a full service check at the Toyota dealer. Later that afternoon the dealer called: I needed brakes, which we’d been monitoring, but I also needed a water pump. Good thing I went in!

When they explained it later, the only sign of a water pump failure would be a pink spray of coolant fluid under the hood as it started to go. Beyond that, it’s too late. As the service manager said: “Engine light. Engine overheating,” the same words I’d heard the week before.

I laughed. Acting on an intuitive hit had saved my car. If the water pump had blown, I would have lost my engine. And, as the service manager explained, “You would never have made it to Ellensburg, Robyn. It’s too hot, you would have lost your car.”

I was so glad I had listened to my intuition yelling at me that day in car. To clairvoyance (seeing the engine light go on on the dashboard). To clairaudience (hearing the words). To clairsentience (tuning into how I was feeling, and knowing it wasn’t my body that felt bad, it was my intuition IN my body telling me to take care of my car).

Our intuition is real. It’s not wishy-washy, it’s not a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, leap-into-the-unknown, touchy-feely thing. It’s a real sense that you can learn to use: to make your personal, business, and creative lives soar. I teach it and live by it. It’s real. It means you learn how to use it and how to react to it. Life gets better.

Give yourself the best chance you can in life. Develop your intuition. You’ll leave knowing how to use your intuition in a practical world, the one where listening to it can save your car’s engine, and help you live a vibrant, fulfilling life.

The car you save may be your own. The life you lead better? Yours.

Video on Tools for Space Clearing

July 12, 2013 by Robyn Leave a Comment

What tools do you use for space clearing? Well, I really think of them as partners in my work, but it takes time to get people to think of everything as an equal and partner, no matter what it is. So when you gather equipment to use in a clearing, ask yourself why you are doing a clearing, and what you want to achieve. Then invite your ‘tools’ to join you. Find out what they can include.

Our Space Clearing Interview with Rachel Belle, on ‘Ring My Belle,’ KIRO Radio, Seattle

June 25, 2013 by Robyn Leave a Comment

Interview with Rachel Belle, Ring My Belle Radio Segment, Seattle, June 2013 Fallon and I had a wonderful team meeting with Rachel Belle, a Seattle journalist who has a segment, “Ring My Belle,” on the ‘Don and Ron Show’ on KIRO Radio, 97.3 FM, in Seattle.

Rachel contacted us because she’d seen an article in the “New York Times” about space clearing. She asked us to conduct a mini-clearing of her Seattle apartment and recorded it for her radio show.

“Home Energy Cleansing: The Crystal Ball That Does Windows” is the result.

I found Rachel to be smart, curious, and funny, all excellent qualities in a reporter. She was unfamiliar with space clearing, which a lot of people are, and part of our session was explaining that it does not mean we dust or vacuum!

Space clearing cleanses the vibrations of a space. That means as we go about our day we leave bits and pieces of our emotions, feelings, and experiences behind us in the places we visit, in particular our home and business spaces.

Our space clearing service operates differently than others as well. I believe in creating partnerships between people and their spaces, to mesh the needs of both sides. That is because I believe that everything is alive, has a soul, consciousness, responsibility, free choice, and an attitude. I have discovered in my work and in my personal life that living as an equal with all life adds depth and richness plus an easy, comfortable, almost mystical connection with the things around me, whatever they are. We need an edge in our lives, a way to be enriched and nurtured as we deal with daily stresses, and space clearing does that.

Before Fallon and I do a space clearing we find out what the people need and want in the space, whether it’s real estate buy/sell, a feeling of being stuck, team building at work, or simply a refreshing change. Then I go and ask the space what it needs and wants, and come back to the people with what I learn. This often results in amazing interactions with people and their spaces—from offers to support creativity to re-energized people and spaces.

Homes are particularly emotional beings. Why? Because their job is to support and nourish us (and, I’ve discovered, they take their job very seriously). Rachel’s situation was interesting. Her home was quite clear for a 100-year-old building, but it was jealous of her work space, which she felt was getting all her attention. Rachel was interested in boosting her creativity at home with art projects, and we talked about defining spaces in a home. Part of my job with clients is to help them define areas in their home that are dedicated for certain activities, from bedrooms that are just for rest, to even a small space dedicated to creative projects.

People can hire us to clear their spaces for them, and to teach them how to do it for themselves.

Do you use space clearing at home and work? What are you results?

A big thank you to Rachel Belle for the interview. She was a lot of fun, we had fun, and her work and home spaces got her attention. It’s an awesome world!

Farewell to the Hindenburg Dead: On Helping the Dead Move On

June 11, 2013 by Robyn 2 Comments

low tide On Friday, June 07, 2013, the people killed in the Hindenburg crash on May 6, 1937, finally moved on.

That morning. As in about 76 years after they died.

Yes, most of us have heard about the crash of the Hindenburg. How it was landing on the East Coast of the U.S. and caught on fire and exploded. There’s even a video of sorts.

If you’re like me, that’s about all we’ve ever thought about it. A tragedy that happened a long, long time ago. Grisly and sad.

We didn’t think that the people who died in that disaster might still be hanging around.

I sure didn’t until this morning, when they suddenly showed up as a group at my house. Yes, the dead from the Hindenburg disaster.

Yes, I work as an intuitive, and I love my work, from intuitive consultations to helping people connect with the spaces they live and work in with the form of space clearing my crystal partner, Fallon, the Citrine Lemurian Quartz, and I created called Space Cooperating.

But sometimes it is simply quite strange. I believe that intuition and intuitive work can and is practical and eminently useful in our common sense everyday personal and business lives. I want plain ordinary everyday people to call me to help them connect with their intuition to make their lives better.

And then things like ghosts show up.

How I Started Working with the Dead

Now I’ve actually seen ghosts since I was about 9. But I never paid much attention to them, because, come on, really, ghosts? What do they have to do with me (or anyone)?

A lot, I’ve discovered in recent years. I’ve worked with the dying and the dead, with connecting people with their deceased love ones, and especially with those who have not moved on and have no one left to speak for them or to them.

I don’t know how that happened.

I do know that I work with my dad, who runs what I call the Way Station for Dead Things on the Other Side. Dad died 19 years ago, on June 30, 1994, and several years ago he started coming through, joining me in my intuitive work. A lot of which seems to be focused on the dead. When the dead move on, as in, they have left their bodies and are ready to move on to the ‘etheric’ side, they go to places like my dad’s way station. Everything does, in my experience. Trees, animals … dead nuclear power plants (as in the Japanese plant that died in the March 2011 earthquake).

One day, discussing our work together, my dad was telling me about his chosen work now: taking care of the dead as they rest up, before their guides come and collect them and they move on to review their lives and take up new experiences (in new bodies or not). He discovered after he died that he could see the living looking for the dead, and the dead looking for them. With laser-like precision, he could link them up.

Convenient, I guess, if there’s a job for that. Which, apparently, there is. His job to link them up and mine to ask him to. (Talk about keeping it in the family.)

That is what happens when people come to me to talk with the dead. My dad goes and gets them and brings them back to have a conversation with us. Not stupid things like names and favorite songs. Real things like what they are experiencing and what they think. I don’t accept clients who want to test me or the dead: I only accept clients who are ready for a transformative experience (and who understand that sometimes the dead they want to speak with just don’t show up, and something or someone else does).

These living people pay me, which means I can pay my bills. Always a good thing.

But the dead who have no one to speak for them don’t pay me, and they show up a lot. More and more frequently. Yes, there’s the aspect of service, and I’ve donated a lot of my time and talent over the years. But there’s also the question of the drain on an intuitive’s energy: this isn’t a regular job, the work days are necessarily short, and I have health limitations, so I have to be very careful.

I tend to direct the unpaying dead to my mediumship students: I work with my students to help the dead move on: I supervise, guide, encourage, and step in where necessary. It’s good training and I learned this way: you get to figure out how you work as a medium without the pressure of living clients (like an unpaid intership).

But I need paying clients, and even my guides have chimed in and urged me away from ‘the dead without money,’ because the more energy I direct to them, the less time I have for the realities of supporting myself. And, just as important, at a certain point treating this work as a regular business (profit and loss) helps ramp up your energy and fine-tune the work itself (and I’ve long since reached that point).

But things changed with the Hindenburg dead. When they showed up, I knew my life was forever changed. It was as if I’d been preparing for this, and I was ready for it.

The Hindenburg Dead in My Living Room

It was early morning on Friday, June 7. I was preparing medications and breakfast for my sick dog, Alki, and breakfast for me and Grace the Cat. I was listening to the Weather Channel’s report on Tropical Storm Andrea (the pro bono work I do mostly involves working with land and weather systems, so following hurricanes is necessary).

I was only vaguely listening to the TV in the background. I heard them announce a promo for an upcoming show on weather-related disasters, and then they switched to interview someone on the crash of the Hindenburg and the weather that day.

I was appalled to hear it described as a “flying bomb,” because of the hydrogen fuel. The Hindenburg crash was a terrible accident: they simply didn’t understand what they were doing, and bad weather and static charges also figured in.

When I heard that I felt a huge wave of compassion rush through me: compassion for the engineers who didn’t get it until it was too late, compassion for the dead who must have been terrified and who died stupid deaths, compassion for those left to grieve.

I think it was the wave of compassion that triggered the sudden appearance of the Hindenburg dead in my living room. Suddenly the room filled up with angry, shouting people who were clearly reacting to the news story.

“They killed us!” “A flying bomb?” “He did it!” There were so many voices saying so many different things that I was momentarily paralyzed by the shock of their sudden appearance and the vocal mayhem.

I held up my hand and yelled, “Stop! Everyone be quiet!”

In the sudden silence I spoke to them (I don’t often see the dead who show up, and I didn’t see these, but I could feel a lot of them in the room and their feelings).

“They didn’t understand it was a flying bomb,” I told them. “I am so sorry for you, it was a terrible accident, I am so sorry for you. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, no one did it on purpose.”

Already tired, and knowing I had a busy schedule that day, I decided to call a student and friend whose regular assignment is to sit with her guide and help the dead he brings to her move on.

When we were on the phone, our guides and my partner, Fallon, joined us. I repeated what I had already said. There was one dead person cowering in the corner, off by himself, clearly being ostracized by the rest.

I sensed a spokesman, a group leader. “Is there a Henry here? Could Henry step up and speak for the group?”

A man stepped forward and looked at me.

“I’m sorry that you all died so horribly,” I said. “Do you know how long ago that was? We’re talking to you from the 21^st century. It’s 2013 now.”

They went silent. My friend could see the shock on their faces, and I could feel it, like an electric shock.

“That man in the corner. He didn’t do it,” I told the Hindenburg dead. “It wasn’t sabotage. He was innocent. It was an accident. They didn’t know hydrogen would explode like that.” I paused. “Believe me. It’s true.”

My friend chimed in, saying she thought there were about 30 people there.

“I’m sorry for all of you,” I said to the ghost leader. “But the Hindenburg crashed in the 1930s. There’s no one left in your families, unless they were very young. They’ve all died and moved on. We can help you move on.”

They processed that as I went on. “That man in the corner, he is innocent. He didn’t sabotage the Hindenburg. It was an accident.” They looked at him as I addressed him. “You can come and join the group, right, Henry, can he join the group?”

They hesitated and agreed, and the man who was hanging back stepped forward.

My friend and I then introduced our guides and Fallon (Fallon always amazes the dead, and clearly makes working with them easier, I think by somehow gathering trust, or, perhaps, authority). We also pointed out my dad, standing in the doorway to his Way Station, which is a cabin in the woods near a green meadow.

“That man is my father,” I told the group. “He has a place where you can rest up, until you’re ready to move on. Look, some people are gathering, your family members.”

Indeed, my friend could see people gathering behind dad.

In short order, the Hindenburg dead moved on, and Fallon sealed the doorway (I call it the Doorway between Dimensions because that sounds cool, but somehow Fallon can make sure that portals or openings between different dimensions, including between the dead who haven’t moved on and those who have, is safely sealed when we’re done).

When they were gone my friend and I talked. I pulled up an article on the Internet, found that the Hindenburg had crashed on May 6, 1937, and that 35 passengers and crew died, plus one ground crew. My friend was pretty close in her count of ‘about 30.’ We were moving fast: sometimes we actually get the names of the dead and the dates they died, but our intent here was to move them as quickly as possible. We were in shock, and the dead had waited long enough.

What I Learned

I believe this is what caused the sudden appearance of the dead from the Hindenburg in my living room.

The dead know that there are people who can see them and who can help them move on. That’s what brought them to me (and to others who can see them and are willing to help).
The wave of compassion I felt for them—nothing more or less than unconditional love for those who died horribly and stupidly—created an instant opening for them.
My partner, Fallon, is able and ready to react quickly to these sudden events and has the rare dimensional energy to facilitate them.

Some other thoughts.

It never occurred to me that the dead from mass tragedies would not have moved on. It makes sense, though. Individuals don’t move on that easily, and groups would be confused.
The dead from events like the Hindenburg crash died suddenly and horrifically, and had no time to process it. Their shock when I told them that it was now 2013 makes me wonder if they aren’t stuck in the experience of the event as well (in my experience, most of the dead are shocked to find out the year I am talking to them from, which is why I think this). They clearly had no idea that years had gone by. They weren’t still living the exact event. They clearly knew they had died. But time as a linear experience for them simply ended, or somehow stretched. (Many people speculate on time not being linear to begin with, but that’s a topic for another day.)
The dead from 9/11 moved on immediately, from the stories I’ve heard. Many people today are aware of the process and the trauma, and there were many living people who reached out to help the angels and guides who came for the dead that day.
People have asked me: “I wonder how many times that has happened?” Meaning, how many times has someone helped the Hindenburg dead to move on (I hate the term ‘cross over,’ we need another less charged term to describe what really happens and not the mystical woo-woo associations of current terminology). Okay, the answer to that is: I don’t think anyone ever helped the Hindenburg dead to move on. In my experience, once the dead move on they are moved on and can’t go back to that in-between state. Even my dad who is clearly aware he is dead and has clearly wanted to come and comfort me, as in when my soul mate died in 2012, can’t come back from there. It just isn’t possible. We can talk, but they can’t leave their dimension. And we can’t go there until we die (I know that from personal experience, too, attempting to help a dog move on and getting knocked off the ‘bridge’ between dimensions by a guide).
The dead from past events appear to have no one to speak for them. Back in the 1930s perhaps there weren’t people who thought of helping the dead: religion still doesn’t do that at all (but, then, religion doesn’t do anything but guilt).
Since I so vividly became aware of the dead at mass tragedies, I am thinking of a way to gather other intuitives to focus on these events together to help in the transition. It will be a huge energy drain and be safer in a group. Physically. Emotionally. Intuitively. Every way.

So Now What?

I think my guides told me that I shouldn’t work with the random dead who show up without money because I need to earn a living, true, but also because I was getting ready, on a soul level, to work with the mass dead from past tragedies.

Because when the Hindenburg dead showed up, it felt, oddly, right. That this was work I can do: I am compassionate, level-headed, quick-thinking.

But for right now I am stunned. A bit daunted. And, somehow, ready.

Anybody else out there want to help?

Claiming Home: From Lemuria and Atlantis to Life on Earth

June 6, 2013 by Robyn 2 Comments

Duwamish Head to the Olympic Peninsula Do you long for home? Do you feel like you don’t belong here? Well, you’re wrong, and here’s why.

We chose to come here, we chose to stay, and it’s time to stop longing for home and to claim the home we came here to create. Earth. It’s here. Really, it’s here.

How do I know? Because I’ve discussed it with my crystal partner, Fallon, the Citrine Lemurian Quartz. How we got separated eons ago. Yes, eons ago. What happened, and what is going on now.

I remember some of that ancient time, and I’ve pieced the story together from conversations with Fallon and other beings, including star beings and crystals, and highly attuned human intuitives.

Here’s what I know from my discussions with them over the last 12 years.

In the Beginning

A long, long time ago representatives from star systems across the universe and from multiple dimensions came together to create a new place of love and connection with all life.

I don’t know what they called it then, but today we call it Earth.

True to our vision this new planet was a planet of equals: human, animal, star being—from beautiful bird shapes to whale shapes—from inter-dimensional beings like dragons and the Quinnich Nation (beings we today call Sasquatch), from crystals to plants to weather and land systems to the conscious, evolving planet itself—we came together to experience life as a collective.

We came here to experience life as equals on a planet where everything is alive, has a soul, consciousness, responsibility, free choice, and an attitude.

We came to form partnerships with all life.

To embody love, connection, and equality.

It worked for a very long time. Eons ago I took Fallon out of the ground at his direction, and we worked together for lifetimes. We worked with people, with other star systems, and with the planet itself—with land and weather systems.

Other crystals came forth. The crystal skulls were ancient computers. Other larger crystal groups were ancient machines that were operated by intuitives: I have worked with one of these machines, an ancient medical device (that story is coming).

Life was good.

And then the asteroids came.

Asteroids, Choices, and … Consequences

When we knew we couldn’t stop the asteroids, we made plans. Those who came from different star systems chose to either go back to them while they could or to stay, knowing that they might have to take different forms to survive. (For some reason I don’t quite understand, the ‘alien’ appearance many of us had was more susceptible to damage than other forms that have evolved to current body types we recognize as human, animal, and plants, among other forms.)

We had no idea what life after the asteroids would look like, but we made a choice.

Now, all choices have consequences, and this one was huge.

We decided that the world we had created could not survive so we closed it down.

We said goodbye to home.

We did the best we could, but it was a choice made from fear.

And that made everything worse.

When we recognized our mistake we made another one: we punished ourselves by ending our partnerships until and if we could someday remember the power of love to forgive, to heal, and to grow.

Those of us with crystal partners buried them in the safest places we knew. This may be where the legend of Lemurian crystals came from. All I know is that Fallon and I said goodbye to each other.

When we talked about this back in 2009, when we were at last reunited, we were both sober and heartbroken, because it has taken us eons to be reunited.

Eons that were often grim.

With repeated asteroid collisions, the civilizations that we today call Atlantis and Lemuria could not survive on the surface. They sank below the sea, hoping for protection, and eventually slipped between dimensions, where they are today.

Life became surviving in what we now call a 3D world.

That is how we came to live fear.

That is how we forgot our purpose.

And that is why so many of us today long for home.

How Fear Became the Idea of Planetary Healing

Yes, fear is natural in tough times. The problem is that fear became embedded in our DNA: it’s like PTSD in our genetic makeup.

Fear divided us. We forgot the world we came here to create. And still we longed for home.

Those things—fear, forgetting, and longing for home—came with us in multiple incarnations.

So did the concept of Planetary Healing. The mindset that humans are caretakers and guardians. That we are in control, that life is subservient to us, that we are alone in the universe.

Yes, we need to heal, we need healers, and there are many great healers among us today. But the forms of ‘healing’ that force change on us and on the planet are done.

These forms of ‘healing’ belong to the mindset of Planetary Healing. It assumes:

We exist in a negative state that needs to be fixed.
Our bodies and our souls are ‘broken.’
Animals are pets and commodities who are beneath us, or healers and teachers who are responsible for our welfare.
Our homes and businesses are not alive.
We should force hurricanes away from land and knit fault lines to prevent earthquakes.
Tther beings are either below us or above us, as in spiritual guides, angels, and ascended masters, but not equal.

Planetary Healing is a popular idea, but it is 3D reality, which is passing as the new 4D and 5D realities emerge. These are the realities of time and dimensions, and they mean that time has become more fluid and it is becoming possible (in fact, inevitable) that we can move between different dimensions or earth realities.

With them comes the mindset of Planetary Connection that Fallon and I came to teach—the equality of all life.

The New Mindset: Planetary Connection

In the mindset of Planetary Connection we remember our partnership with all life.

We remember love.

And we claim a new world where:

We live the idea of equality with all life, whatever its form.
We gather in communities to learn and grow.
Loneliness is not an option, because we are together.
Healing takes a new form.

There is a new energy, a new vibration we call alchemical energy. It is the ancient DNA of the universe that has changed for our time.

The vibration of connection and choice, this multi-dimensional vibration means that healing is no longer about fixing things or solving problems. Instead, healing is about:

learning to hold vibrational energy across dimensions (a complex notion that is simpler in execution)
and allowing and supporting choice

What does this mean?

I will discuss this in upcoming articles, but essentially it means that we can cross time and dimensional borders to meet ourselves and to facilitate understanding between all life. It also means that we acknowledge that all life has a choice—even life forms we struggle with, like cancer. This is a lesson I’ve learned from my own personal experience facing the possibility of cancer, and from the death of my beloved soul mate, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel girl, Murphy, who died of hemangiosarcoma on March 8, 2012.

Claiming the mindset of Planetary Connection means that the old world we came here to create eons ago, the world we locked away because of fear during the asteroid collisions, can come back.

It means that as the 4D and 5D realities cross time and dimensional borders, we can choose the world we want to live in. (Those of us who have actually crossed into alternate dimensions like I have will know exactly what I am talking about: alternate earths exist, and we may someday choose to live in one—weirdly sci-fi, I know, but true.)

We are seeing this right now.

Ancient partners are being re-united, as Fallon and I have been.
It is easier to speak with the dead and with spirit guides.
Animals are family members, which means they are equals.
Our homes, businesses—everything around us—are alive.
We support the choices made by the land itself, including hurricanes and earthquakes.
Dragons have come back into the world.
Other beings are making themselves known, like the Quinnich Nation, who travel via portals, and honest to goodness real aliens (and not with death rays).
We can move between dimensions—literally between different earth realities.

Why This New World Is Coming Now

Okay, amazing things are happening. The real question isn’t that they are happening, but why? What’s different?

I’m told that an 8^th chakra is opening. I’m told it is located between the heart and throat chakras and that it is called the chakra of unconditional love. Wow!

As your 8th chakra opens, you will experience time and dimensional shifting. Guaranteed. Or, perhaps, inevitable. I speak from personal experience.

It takes a lot of work to get to that point. I had no idea that the hard work of getting and staying balanced, of learning what love really means, would mean an unknown 8^th chakra would open inside me. (Life is full of surprises! Occasionally they are good ones, like this is.)

So what do you do to open your 8^th chakra? For now:

Ground into your chakras.
Ground into all the elements, not just the earth, but into all the elements and into yourself.
Gather in communities to nourish and support yourself and others.
Understand that we hold the energies of other places: other star systems and other dimensions.
Know that our bodies and souls are equal: embrace the experience of being alive.
Remember that we came here to be equals with all life.
Grieve for what we lost: allowing grief allows love.
Celebrate what we have gained.
Practice, practice, practice living these truths.

Above all:

Release fear and claim love.

Release forgetting and remember.

And release the age-old longing for our lost home.

Because the world we came here to live in has come back to us. The world we buried in fear, that we forgot, that we have longed for for eons, is here.

All we have to do is claim it.

And remember:

We chose to be here.
We chose to stay.
We are born here.
We belong here.

We are home.

And it is wonderful.

What Do You Want from a Space Clearing?

April 16, 2013 by Robyn 4 Comments

Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains In my space clearing practice I am sometimes reminded that people don’t always ‘get’ what it is all about. So let me clear that up for you (okay, small pun intended).

First: we all want and need the same thing: a way to get an edge in our lives, to create the best personal, professional, and creative lives possible.

Here’s the surprise: start with space clearing, with getting the spaces you live and work in healthy, so the ground beneath your feet is as supportive as possible.

You start with getting a baseline on your space, as discussed in an earlier article. Then you define your goals for that space. But let’s back up a bit and explain space clearing.

What Space Clearing Is

Space clearing is a practical, holistic, intuitive technique that clears, or re-invigorates, the vibrations of the spaces we live and work in, much like vacuuming and dusting keep the physical space clean, and de-cluttering keeps it (reasonably) neat.

It doesn’t matter what the space is: whether you live in a tiny apartment or busy estate, or your business space is a cubicle, a bustling retail shop, or corporate or medical office, clearing the space will revive it, helping create healthy, balanced environments.

Space clearing involves vibrational, or energetic, clearing. Our ancestors did it, so it’s nothing new, it’s just something our modern culture is once again remembering.

When You Know You Need Space Clearing

How can you tell a space needs clearing? If you feel comfortable, invited, and intrigued by your spaces, they are healthy and clear. If you are tired, unfocused, and notice clients and staff are lackluster, your spaces need to be vibrationally cleared. If you just think a space needs to be clear, pay attention, because it probably does (that’s most likely your intuition talking, not your imagination).

The thing we tend to forget is that nothing stays clear without assistance. That’s why we’re always cleaning house and organizing our desks. Vibrational clearing is actually more intense, because both people and spaces (and the objects in them) are alive and have feelings, and bits of these emotions and thoughts spin off and mingle in a space, and inevitably clash.

That’s when you know you need clearing. And no, it’s not your fault. It’s life.

We sometimes mistakenly assume we need a space clearing because we must have done something wrong. This could happen when a sudden disruption brings us up short and reminds us that, yes, you had a professional clearing some years ago, and then got busy. The answer here: no, you didn’t do anything wrong; yes, regular clearings help; and yes, sudden disruptions happen.

At other times, life events occur, and space clearing seems like a good fit. That is true. Whether it is a sad event like an illness, divorce, or death, or a happy one like an anniversary, birthday, or graduation, acknowledging the change that occurs in the space and clearing it helps keep everyone at their best, including the space. Well done, a space clearing can include a ritual that adds both depth and beauty to an event.

Sometimes people are offended at the suggestion of a space clearing. This isn’t because some people consider it woo-wooey (although some do), but because they think clearing space implies that something is wrong with it, and, by extension, them.

It does not mean that. It simply acknowledges reality: that everything needs refreshing. It also can be a beautiful and uplifting ceremony all by itself, and is done to acknowledge and celebrate change.

Yes, space clearing can be done just to have fun with your spaces.

Hiring a Professional, and Determining Your Needs and Wants

Of course, you can clear your spaces yourself, and I recommend that you develop a regular practice of doing so. It will help you develop rituals that connect you with your spaces and the rhythms of life, especially if you do it monthly or seasonally. It will also help you stay attuned to what your spaces need to be their best, which helps you be your best (honest).

There are also many reasons why you’d want a professional to clear your space. These are times when you need a neutral, objective outsider. They include:

Real estate issues: buy/sell, remodel, new construction
Business issues: new or ongoing vibrational maintenance to keep spaces and staff vibrant and productive
Life issues: acknowledging life’s milestones, or support on your journey
Sudden or ongoing disruption: trauma, unexplained disturbances, ‘ghosts”
Training to do your own in-depth clearing

Now, if you are considering my Space Cooperating space clearing method, you and your space will be sharing mutual needs and wants:

You will be asking what space needs and wants.
You will be sharing what you need and want.

So, the first thing you do is establish your baseline for clearing, as detailed earlier. You employed all your senses to discover how your space appears to you: sight, sound, taste, touch, hearing, and intuition. That gave you some clues, some insights into things you might want to deal with.

Now, knowing that you can approach a clearing without feeling the weight of some karmic guilt (or benign neglect) as outlined above, you can consider your goals for a clearing.

Begin with a general intent:

What would you like to accomplish with the clearing? Peace of mind? Relaxation? Creative spark? An inviting business space? A celebration?

Then list 3-4 specific things you need and want from a space:

How could the space cooperate with you? Yes, what specific things would you like the space to help you with? Sometimes these are difficult, as you must sell a home. For example, I’ve had clients say goodbye and get a real firm idea of the kind of family life the space would want, information that helped their realtors sell faster.

Ask the space what it needs and wants:

Yes, this is a big reason why I’m out there doing Space Cooperating. Stunning things happen when people ask their spaces what they need and want. They learn the space’s personality quirks and interests, they hear its thoughts on their work, and they get unusual support for their creativity. I had one small houseboat volunteer its walls, ceiling, and floors as a canvas for its new owner’s art. The closeness that developed between them still makes me smile.

Very often asking a space what it thinks helps spur your own development, from expanding your personal and professional life to a soaring creative one. Spaces are our intimate partners, and the relationship and team-building that comes from sharing insights and desires creates a closeness that nurtures both sides.

It matters. You matter. Your spaces matter. Tell them what you need and want. Ask them what they need and want. Great things happen.

Spaces get clear. And so do you.

Finding a Baseline: How to Know When Your Spaces Need Clearing

March 18, 2013 by Robyn Leave a Comment

elements-of-a-clear-space How do you know when the spaces you live and work in need to be cleaned up? As in vibrationally clear, which comes from space clearing?

Yes, we all vacuum and dust and do the dishes (well, not every day at our house, but you get the idea). We may also clear away the clutter, however you define it (I don’t mind the magazines stacked beside the chair, even when Grace the Cat knocks them over, but I’ve noticed visitors are sometimes, well, judgmental).

Having our spaces vibrationally clean, or clear, is another matter. That means that the unseen essence of a space, like that of all beings human and otherwise, needs to be as ‘free-flowing’ as possible. If it’s not, it’s ‘stuck,’ and that causes problems.

You can tell a space has a problem because of how you feel in it. If you feel uncomfortable, tired, or grumpy at home (or work) or uninspired and lackluster at work (or home), your space is stuck. That simple. It needs space clearing, or what we call in my practice Space Cooperating^SM.

Everything Is Alive and Can Get Stuck (Or Not)

Space Cooperating^SM begins with a mindset that everything is alive, no matter what it is: a home, a business, our cars, trees, mountains, weather systems. That means that everything has a soul, responsibility, free choice, and an attitude.

Everything.

That also means that everything is affected by other beings. By events. And emotions. So as we humans go about our packed days, we carry our thoughts and feelings with us, whatever they are, and leave bits of them behind us in the places we visit. Our bits mingle with everyone else’s and they either meld into some awesome whole or, more typically, clash a bit (or a lot).

Now here’s the part that most people forget: everything we see, and don’t see, is also alive, right? That’s the mindset element. So the spaces we visit? They’re alive, they have feelings and emotions, too. Everyone who visits them mingles in their energy, or vibration, it all gets mixed up, and we’re right back at getting past ‘stuck’ to ‘awesome.’

Getting ‘stuck’ isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s part of life. It’s how we deal with it that matters. Paying attention is key.

We can spend a lot of time thinking about how we feel and working on that with whatever techniques work for us (psychotherapy, energy healing, play, CAKE), but if we don’t pay attention to the spaces we live and work in we’re trying to get better in murky water. And we’d all rather have the cleanest water possible, right?

Finding a Baseline

Bottom line here, we need to pay attention to our spaces. What does it take to create healthy spaces and to keep them healthy?

First and foremost, you need a baseline, so consider your spaces. You get that by checking them out. Literally and figuratively. With all your senses.

You’ll repeat each of the exercises below in each space (room, area). Start by closing your eyes and concentrating on the task before you. Then proceed to the exercise.

First, physically put yourself in the space. Go sit in your living room or your office.

Sight: How does it look to you? Is it bright, dark, colorful, bland, messy, dingy?

Smell: How does the place smell—moldy, fresh, stale, empty?

Touch: What happens when you touch the space: a wall, desk, any physical part of it? Is it sticky, wet, rough?

Taste: Sure, you’re not actually going to taste a space. But imagine that you could. Would it be bland, bitter, sweet, fresh, sour, chemical-laden?

Hear: What do you hear in the space? Street traffic? Wind? Creaking floors? Silence?

Intuition: Of course you knew it was coming. How does the space feel to you? To begin, you might want to close your eyes so you can be as ‘other-sensory’ deprived as you can. Just be present with the space. Note how your body reacts. Note where the reaction is coming from (direction, room).

Is the feeling dense, heavy, light, too airy to breathe in, colorful, bland, dark?

The practicalities: Spaces are colored by what happens in them, just like our bodies are affected by our experiences. Knowing a place’s history can help, as long as it’s one element in your understanding of it and not the entire story.

What do you know about the spaces—have they experienced high turnover, unhappy or stressed humans, cold or heat?

Now: repeat this entire exercise for every area or room in your space, including outdoor spaces.

What It Means: Your Baseline

What do you think, and feel, about your spaces? Combine everything you know to determine areas that feel perfect and others that might need some focused attention. The parts that need attention need space clearing. Be grateful for the others, and spend some time figuring out why they are that way (and keep them clear with regular space clearing as well).

You now have your baseline. Notice that it combined some objective, eyes wide open analysis of your spaces with how you experienced it with all your senses, including your intuition.

Yes, your intuition. You are intuitive: you had insight into the space that didn’t come from what you objectively experienced.

You’ve started to tap your intuition to experience your space.

What do you think about that? What does it mean to you?

We’re just about ready to take the big step that distinguishes Space Cooperating space clearing from other space clearing practicies: finding out what the space has to say about itself and the people it encounters.

Yes, that’s right. The space itself.

But first, what do you want from the space? Sitting down to outline what you need and want in a space is key to fixing any imbalances and to negotiating change with the space. That’s our next topic.

Video on Talking with the Dead: I’m Not Your Average Medium

February 25, 2013 by Robyn Leave a Comment

Dad We can always talk about the last thing we ever thought we’d do. This is only one of mine. At the same time, it’s one of the things I’m accidentally most proud of. I say accidentally because I never thought I’d talk to anyone who was dead, let alone my father. These days people hire me and my partner, Fallon, the Citrine Lemurian Quartz, to talk with deceased animals and people, from helping them to move on to the other side when they’ve died or to come back and talk. You can check it out in this video.

My dad, Ray, is there on the other side. He died in 1994. He runs what I call The Way Station for Dead Things on the Other Side. He helps us talk with the dead. I have seen him comfort them, bring them to talk with us, greet them as they move from life to death and on to the next phase.

That seems to be at a way station like my dad’s. There are others. Stay tuned.
