Erin's Schedule 🌈PLUS Quick Tips for Peace of Mind!

Hello beloved readers!

I hope you feel warmth in your heart today and feel love and connected, no matter how you choose to spend this weekend.  I know many of us are honoring special people that have passed away. May the spirits of those folks continue to touch our lives in positive and inspiring ways.

To honor the New Moon in Gemini and my loved ones who have passed, including my dear father and my spiritual teacher, I made 12 sage smudge sticks this weekend. I walked into the subalpine valley, meditated with the sagebrush, and offered tobacco in the traditional fashion of native peoples, giving thanks and asking permission to take some of the plant. I then sat by the fire, played Indian kirtan music, and trimmed and wrapped the bundles. I was so happy to make these for my friends and family, to help us all keep our homes and selves clear and serene.

Please take one of these virtual smudgesticks for yourself! They are now drying and are amazing!

Quick Tips for Peace of Mind in Pandemonium

This time of “pandemonium” has been up, down, and all around. Like everyone else, this has been a mix of fantastic silver linings, blended with confusion, joy, inspiration, grief, and above all, change. Everything is constantly changing. This, we all know. Yet, the corona pandemic has been a time of unprecedented global change in our post-modern world, and no matter how spiritually fit we are, we are human and must feel all the feels. This has been an incomprehensible shared experience. It is one massive adjustment individually and collectively, and that requires time, space, support, and respect for the process.

Here are some helpful reminders if you’ve been needing an attitude adjustment – these are all things that work for me regularly, and continue to see me through now and in all times of huge change:

-          Make your gratitude list (in your head, verbally, on the back of an envelope, in your journal).

-          Stay in Present Time. You’ll notice this one is needed when you feel burned out on the question, “What is going to happen?” No one knows. Let it all unfold.

-          Feel your feelings. Cry. Process. Write. Stretch. Call a friend. Get support. It’s okay – and necessary - to allow your upset to well up. This is not a time for spiritual bypass.

-          Make simple diet or lifestyle changes to support your mental health. Now more than ever, we need clear channels for our inner guidance to flow through, giving us ease and peace of mind.

-          Trust the Great Unfolding. Even if you feel mistrust toward a person, idea, or situation, we can always trust the Great Unfolding of What Is. In the understanding of the Absolute, this is ultimately perfect, and that Consciousness is manifesting exactly what is needed. We are not separate from all that is.

-          Go easy on yourself. This is not a time for criticizing your appearance, body, fitness regimen. We are all doing the past we can. If you are guided to exercise or eat differently, do so – let it arise naturally. Yet, if it’s all you can do to get out of bed in the morning and take a deep breath, that is enough. (Actually, even getting out of bed is optional; breathing is enough.)

I am so grateful for you. See you on the journey.

With love,

Erin

Stepping Outside the Story: Self-Care In Times of Fear and Confusion

"The mountains... are a passive mystery, the oldest of all. Theirs is the simple mystery of creation from nothing, of matter itself, anything at all, the given. Mountains are giant, restful, absorbent."~ Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

I am writing this piece for empathic or intuitive folks who have been feeling agitated by the collective energies during the shelter-in-place, even while practicing exquisite self-care.

No matter what one's personal opinion, political stance, or point of view, some of us are incredibly sensitive and can be especially hard hit when fear is intense in the collective. Even if we are protecting ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, we can still be taken aback. It's the blessing and challenge of being empathic.

It’s important to take a moment to step outside the narrative of what we are reading, watching, listening to in the media. This is because the collective voice is often fear-based. There is a very strong belief that is corroborated by what we are “told,” what facts are pertinent, what is in fact “true.” In addition, prevailing themes popping up in social media may seem to point to the truth, but they are still only one thread possible among an infinite number of possibilities.

We can listen to our bodies, to our peaceful inner wisdom, to other ways of knowing. This is where direct guidance comes in.

Some folks feel reassured, more comfortable adhering to what popular leaders and scientists tell us – that gives a sense of safety, of security. I’m not here to disagree with that. I know that each and every one of us will behave and make choices in the manner that feels best for us.

Yet, some of us may feel as if we are tuned into another frequency. We see how much of society's decision-making and actions are fear-based. The truth is, as the Zen saying goes, if we truly want to be free, we need to live as if we’re already dead, unattached to any outcome or condition. When we squarely face the fear of death, we step outside of the collective narrative of what we’re told. We make decisions of what we put in our bodies, how we vote, how we raise our children, how we interact with family and friends – based on what is good and healthy and true for us in the Now.

Notice what is actually conditioning. Conditioning, when accepted as the ultimate reality, is bondage. The millisecond that one thinks they’ve “got it,” they’ve “got the answer,” the solution, the fix, the vaccine, the correct modus operandi, the full story, well – it changes, doesn’t it?

"The creeks...are an active mystery, fresh every minute. Theirs is the mystery of the continuous creation and all that providence implies: the uncertainty of vision, the horror of the fixed, the dissolution of the present, the intricacy of beauty, the pressure of fecundity, the elusiveness of the free, and the flawed nature of perfection." ~ Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

It’s all fluid. So how do we live?

We make the best choices we can, given the information and inspiration and resources available to us at the moment. The only thing that is ultimately Real is what is here. And now it’s gone. Why be attached to any of it - any concept, idea, statistic, condition?

Stepping Outside the Prevailing Story

If you're feeling off energetically, I invite you to investigate the narrative. To realize that it is a story that you are (a) being told, or (b) telling yourself. Can you drop both stories, or at least hold them lightly, understanding their eternally changing nature? Can you live outside story and see what happens in a raw, spontaneous fashion?

The way to live freely, is in the here and now. Whatever is needed is being revealed to you in this moment. Whatever is needed is NOT in the future, out “there” somewhere. It is not found in the past, either. It is here. And you can trust that you are being shown the way forward.

Come back to seeing conditioning. Come back to seeing that everything that we read or hear or watch, is always a relative truth, only partially true.

Step outside the story. Deconstruct any concept, including what I am writing. The moment something is named, it is only part of the picture. A "fact" can always be presented with a counter-fact. Remember the book many of us read in college, How to Lie with Statistics? There will always be another point of view.

I am not advocating that one think or believe a certain way about anything at all; quite the contrary. I am only suggesting that you have the freedom to question the narrative of what you’re being told. Even if it seems that your whole family, town, state - even if it seems the whole world feels one way, see that it is a collective story.

Fall back into the Now. Fall back into what is true, and good, and right for you. Just for today. Come back to the present moment, to What Is. From this place, peace is unshakeable, and you will always know exactly what to do next.

"Return to Sender" - Clearing Tips and Techniques

If you have absorbed negative, fear-based energies from a person or the collective, and you're feeling off, you may need to "return to sender." Check out my videos here for clearing and energy boundary tips:

Erin Reese Talks on Boundaries, Relationships, and Energy Processing

Have you ever had the feeling that you are experiencing emotions, thoughts, vibrations that are NOT yours? Perhaps you are processing for another person. It is important to distinguish when this is happening, because YOU are not the person to do that work. It is up to the other person to do the work for him/herself…

Energy Clearing Tools and Techniques from Erin Reese

Do you need to know how to clear another person's energy, thoughts, emotions from your energy field? In this short video blog, Erin provides several effective, easy, do-it-yourself tools to cleanse your body-mind-spirit of unwanted energies, including draining or depleted collective consciousness.

Women's Spiritual Counseling Group - Thursdays, 9am PT

Sophia - Alex Grey

Dear Women Readers,
 

Are you feeling a call for deep feminine support? 

I'm offering an alternative and affordable form of

spiritual counseling for women.

Announcing openings to join the Thursday Women's Group! 9am PT weekly

Receive deep spiritual support and counseling with a small group of sister-goddesses. Remember... we are all emanations of the Divine Feminine. We all have the Triple Goddess - maiden, mother, crone - within and without. She guides our every movement, and we are Her.

In recent sessions, the group has been focusing on women's spirituality, self-healing, and psycho-spiritual holding. Some of the topics we have been discussing include sexuality, body image, aging, mothers and fathers, cultural misogyny, grief and loss, recovery from codependence, boundaries, and more.

We may fold in discussions of the tarot and other ways of knowing, intuition, the enneagram, the inner child, and creative expression. We will continue this work starting this week, and we have an opening for a few new women members.

Details

Thursdays, 9am to 10:15am Pacific (75 minutes, weekly)
The group will last four weeks. These sessions will be 4-6 participants. 
May 14, May 21, May 28, June 3

Each group asks for a four-week commitment. After four weeks, the timing will be reevaluated together. We may very well continue the group.

Cost
Series of Four Group Sessions: Sliding Scale $150 to $250

PayPal, Card, or Venmo

Description
In this four-week group, you will receive the holding and spiritual direction you most need at this time in a supportive, loving environment. We will adhere to group confidentiality. As a facilitator, teacher and spiritual therapist, I will create a safe container for you and the other women. I will guide you – sometimes gently, sometimes with fierce grace – to self-heal and examine your intuitive and knowing, your fears and state of consciousness.

Each session will begin with a few minutes’ presentation on a prominent theme that I sense the group is facing, i.e. principles and tools for self-healing and awakening. This will be followed by consulting and dialoguing, one-on-one, with me in the group setting.

You will learn and grow through your own one-on-one work with me, by witnessing other’s processes, and through your own wholehearted presence. The understanding and support will be amplified by the group alchemy.

Prerequisites:

• Having had some background in your own personal spiritual development and or therapy or counseling.
• A brief check-in with Erin by email to confirm your interest and enrollment.
• Agreement to group confidentiality and guidelines
• A willingness to listen and witness others’ processes of psychospiritual unfoldment, to examine your own self and practice self-reflection on a regular basis; a commitment to develop an inner life and connection to self.

 It is for women who would like to:

• Grow in connection and self-understanding with a group of women
• Have access to affordable counseling
• Benefit from a group shared experience
• Supplement individual counseling

If you are called, I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

With love,

Erin

Testimonials:

“This course made a big difference for me! I’m more in tune with my intuition. It helped hone my skills.” ~ Robyn R.

“Erin’s class brought the cards alive for me.  Through her wisdom and example they have become friends, mentors and guides.  Her teachings unlocked the cards inner wisdom, helping me to connect to my own intuition and “something bigger” that comes through the tarot.” ~ Keith H.

“I learned so much. I highly recommend it.” ~ Linda R.

"I started Erin's tarot mastery course very spiritually depleted and was simply looking for a place to feed my spirit and maybe learn something new, but I got so much more. Three months later I am giving tarot readings professionally, but more importantly, my cup has been filled so that I have the vigor and presence of mind to be of service to other people.” ~ Amanda L.

"Erin's approach to Tarot encourages self reflection and our own intuition.  Of course we learn what the cards mean, but this is beyond what you can learn from memorization.  Through her guidance, she encourages us to trust ourselves and what we "see."  I've given myself readings for many years, it wasn't until this class, that I was able to put together the spreads, the cards, and my own perception.  Now, instead of reading from a book first, my reading comes first and the book is truly just for reference. I have so much trust in my own interpretation, thank you, Erin!" ~ Quinn M.
