Mental Illness Doesn't Discriminate

As the world was shocked and stunned of Robin Williams death I thought about the mental illness that drove him to commit suicide.

I also thought about our son who is also bipolar. How we got him though his teen years. The whole family did. We knew the risk and we were extra diligent in making sure he was stable. I think I still do.

I know as a teen growing up my bipolar caused me to be suicidal. I was able to hide it well. I also had this block that made sure I didn't go though with it. One night I did though. My Mother by the grace of her intuition knew something was wrong and was able to stop me. Was I weak then? I don't really know. The carbon monoxide took a lot of my memory. But when I heard about Robin Williams I had flashbacks. Like demons coming out of the closet to tell you "guess what we are still here". Yes thanks a lot for that.

We all have our demons to deal with. Depression is the hardest one. It has impacted my family in more ways then one. Impacted it very deeply. From some out of the blue knowledge I learned to control my bipolar. I know when I get depressed if it is internal (chemical imbalance) or external (something in every day life).  I am not on any meds for it. Goddess knows I was on enough as a kid. Plus when they tried to put me on something my moods went up and down like a roller coaster. To the point in which I was literally crying over split milk. I felt horrible. I feel I need to rephrase that I FELT HORRIBLE! Ok there that is better. My doctor said try it for a few more days well I told the doctor where to sick it. They decided to try medication for my depression after the carbon monoxide. I told them I did not need a mood stabilizing medication. I was fine I knew why I was upset. I had carbon monoxide poisoning and from here on out my life was going to be one big rock in my path. I also had a doctor that let all my health deteriorate for the 4 years that he decided there are no after effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Yes, well that was that.  So yes I was depressed.

Control was a big part of it and resilience. I wish I was able to teach our son that. But , we have tried. Right now he is 24 but since he functions 8-14 we still have a teen and we still have to be vilagent.

Today when he found out Robin Williams died he says "How can he be depressed? He is rich". I told him Depression doesn't discriminate. Rich, poor, black, white it doesn't matter. That is what I keep telling you when you say I would be happy if I was rich. I told him as he is now he is never satisfied with anything and it would be that way if you were rich. It doesn't matter who you are you are not immune to depression.

I told him sadly our family knows that all to well. Maybe that is why I walk on eggshells daily to keep him stable. Do I think he would do that? No and it is for one reason and one reason alone, that is that he knew someone very close to him who is no longer around. Except in spirit. He is always there watching him and making sure he is ok.

Being depressed isn't just a state of mind. People tell you to get up snap out of it. But, sadly for some their mind is only surrounded in a deep dark abyss. In their mind everything around them is wrong, negative or just not worth it anymore. It is hard to reach people when they are like that.

The important thing we need to do is to celebrate live and be vilagent of people around us and their suffering and depression. To not let it get to the deep abyss. We ourselves also need to understand when we need help and to get it. Many of use are still in the stereotype of being weak if they ask for help You need to understand your weakness will lead to strength. You just have to take the first step.

Shark Week A Shark named Submarine

Shark Week started last night. I turned on Discovery just to catch the middle of the program. I knew form the dialogue people were in the water and one was already killed by a shark. The one guy was in the water screaming. There was no way to help him for the shark itself was pushing the person from the rescuers. Yes, you read that right.

All the sudden this huge shark attacks this man and instantly kills him. They said the shark is about 38 feet long. I never saw a shark attack like that.

They find out that 3 people are still not accounted for. So they decide to do a heat seeking camera on the boat. It picks up the 3 people in the water and the shark circling the sunken boat.

They set up a rescue using a shark cage. When the rescuer gets into the boat underwater, the shark starts ramming the hull. As the rescuer tries to get the people out the helicopter above is still using the heat camera to let him know where the shark is.

As they are swimming to the shark cage the shark is already chasing them. When they get to the cage the shark slams right into it. Full mouth open. The shark does this several more times. I had to check if this was a real documentary or a mockup. No it was real.

I am watching with my hand covering my mouth the whole time and thinking has this Shark been watching Jaws.

The shark is ramming the cage so hard the other rescuers are struggling to get the cage lifted out of the water. The shark is damaging the pulley.

They are finally able to get them out if the water. They talk about what happened and how "Submarine" has been just a legend until this amateur footage was able to document it. No wonder this shark knows what it is doing. It is a cross between Jaws and the Deep Blue Sea. Somewhere in it's lifetime this shark has been able to act in a way that scientists over the years have said it not possible.

These people instantly became the hunted. Watching Submarine I was stunned. It truly is there water not ours. If we invade in their space things may or may not happen. We have to decide if we want to tempt fate.

Watching this really stunned me. Even this afternoon when I write the picture of how it attacked the man sits deeply in my mind. Where it will probably stay along with other things that have shocked me over the years. I think of these people and the utter fear they felt as this shark was determined to attack them all.

Science has a lot to investigate when it comes to sharks. Is Submarine a once in a million shark with the taste for humans and the hunt for them? Or have other sharks developed this?

If someone else encountered this shark, who would be alive to tell?

You really should watch this documentary it will really make you think about who's water it is.

Winter in Cleveland

You know when I was growing up in the 70s we had snow like the 8-10 they are forecasting in this snow storm. It was common and it was great. The snow was beautiful.

When I was little we went up to Canada and the next morning the snow was up to the windows. It was the best thing I ever saw.

When I was little I loved to sled ride. Much to my Dad's dismay I loved sledding down the front stairs with my sister. I also loved when we would go out to Mentor Headlands in Winter. Lake Erie was frozen over. She resembled a beautiful dazzling ice skating rink from nature. The sand dunes were covered under the mounds of sparkling snow. The Headlands lighthouse was breath taking, amazing, mystifing all at the same I would look at her covered in the snow and ice and tell her Spring would come soon and she would be normal again. I love her covered in ice and snow.

I don't know if she was the reason I am drawn to lighthouses. The Marblehead lighthouse and the Headlands one my both be the reason.

I loved the Blizzard of 78 it was marvelous. No visibility. Snow all around wind. I can close my mind and hold it to memory.

Then growing up less and less great snow storms. We didn't live in the snow belt but on the Westside of Cleveland. They got more we got less.

To me and my husband growing up like that unless it is at least 3 ft to me and him it is a powder. People say that is 3 inches. I say well have you heard of the Blizzard of 78? That was snow.

I miss that type of snow I miss that type of nostalgia that the memories bring. The sledding, the playing in the snow making snowmen and snow angels.

I love watching people panic when it gets like this. I looked outside before I crashed and we had about 2 inches. My husband asked about it...still a powder I said it has one more inch then it won't be. :-)

The home is a physical structure that provides us with the foundation from which we operate. Home provides us with all our basic physical, emotional and spiritual needs on a very primary level. It is through the home that we receive our sense of security, stability and safety.

The home and experience in many different levels for each individual. Our first home is our body. We may experience home and space where our immediate family or guardians are. As we become adults, our homes exist wherever we are. It may further develop to including new family that we ourselves create.

When we lose our connection to whatever of these places we consider home, we lose our connection to our foundations, our sense of security, our connectedness to the world and ultimately our place in the world.

Yet we are always at home the matter where we are and what our structures are like. Our most important primary home is in our body and on this planet and there is no way of escaping either of these places while still alive.

The meaning of “Gabriel" is "God is my strength".

Gabriel is the patron Angel of communication is known as "The Messenger Angel". He assist in all matters of communication, whether it be on a personal level (as far as personal expression of concerned) or as the messenger of creative inspiration for artists (and for art related projects).

To communicate is to create a bridge between thought, feeling or concept that existed energy and deliver it to another party, be to God, you or loved one. Communication is that deliverance. We are constantly communicating through our body language, words, close and choices. We communicate what we feel, believe and expect.

How we communicate with ourselves determines most of what we experience in life. If we tell ourselves that we are not good enough or worthy of love, joy and abundance, we are not likely to experience those things. If we tell ourselves life is unfair or cruel, we are most likely to attract those experiences. What you tell yourself and what you think determines how you will act and operate in the world. This directly affects all relationships, and how you respond and communicate with those around you, even if it is just through your actions and body language.

Time to start paying attention to what you're saying to yourself right now.

Is your internal dialogue conducive to all the things you want for yourself?

Do you give yourself love, support, confidence permission to be who you are express yourself freely?

Do you allow others to do the same?

What is your body language saying about you?

What does what you wear express?

How well do you listen?

How do you communicate with those around you? Are you comfortable with settling firm boundaries, with saying no?

It is now the time to really reflect on how and what you are communicating at the moment and ultimately, what you are communicating to yourself. There may be some sort of block in your relationship with another that requires clear communication in order for harmony and balance to be restored. By interrupting and eliminating the self- talk that is the detrimental to you, and start to make the changes that are necessary tool of the full and healthy life you need and deserve.

Phuel, the angel of the day Monday, is known as the angel of the moon and oceans. Phuel governs intuition, emotion and psychic awareness. She can assist you to tap into these feminine energies expand your emotional awareness especially when called upon Monday or on a full moon.

Emotions are energy in motion. Emotions can tell us what the input we are receiving means to us. They also show us with input we are feeling ourselves to us. Often we can change or old emotional experience just by changing our perspective. Many times we have an emotional reaction to things because of an association we have developed in the past. For example we may have fallen off a bicycle and hurt or embarrassed ourselves as children. Now as adults we may feel too afraid or vulnerable ever try again, even though circumstances are very different. In this case we have transferred one upsetting experience into all our future ones. Often this happens with finances, health, relationships, social interactions just to name a few.

Emotions have the power to alert us to different issues we may have. We may feel upset when asked to do something because we need to be honoring our boundaries more. We may feel anger towards someone because they're hitting a nerve or we feel that we simply need to be honored and respected more. Whatever the reaction is, it's always a call for introspection, followed by action based on personal truth. Our emotions deliver information on our inner world is relating to our outer world and our mind gives us the tools we need for balance to the whole.

It's extremely difficult to gain a true understanding of what your emotions are communicating what you are overwhelmed. In this situation there is no space for the higher mind to process what is occurring for you. It is also extremely difficult to get a sense of what is occurring for you if you're feeling disconnected from your feelings and emotions. Either way uses a sense of what you are experiencing on a deeper level and begin to operate on a completely unconscious level, unaware of how you are interacting with the world both around and within you.

The true key to creating harmony is balance. Balance of the mind and the emotions.

This message means that it is imperative that you balance this area of yourself. This means whether you are overwhelmed or disconnected, you must stop and reconnect with yourself. You must demand and create the space to be quiet with you. Often journaling or writing is the most direct way to communicate with you. You must allow yourself to freely express exactly how you are feeling until you experience a clear resolution on what you must do to bring balance to your life.

It's time for you to reconnect to your inner world so that you may successfully move forward into the next phase of your life.

Angel Spirit Message for the Week of January 27,2014

Angel Spirit Messages

Monday 1/27/14- Phuel-Intuition

Phuel, the angel of the day Monday, is known as the angel of the moon and oceans. Governing intuition, emotion and psychic awareness she can assist you to tap into these feminine energies expand your emotional awareness especially when called upon Monday or on a full moon.

Every answer to every question we have lies within us. The voice inside, the feeling in our gut and in our bones is our intuition. Intuition is another human sense. Our eyes and ears tell us what is around us, touch gives us texture, smell and taste interact with our surroundings, intuition tells us how we feel about our world, beyond what the physical  five senses can tell us.

Intuition guides us to our own personal higher cause. It tells what choices will best suit us, who we want in our lives and how to interpret the energy of our environment. On a higher level, intuition may tell you universal truths.

It is our intuition that connects us to ourselves and what we need for ourselves on a deeper level. When we lose touch with inner voice that guides and directs our lives, we become lost. When we  make choices based on lower impulses that serve the ego or we become dependent on outside sources to be the only guide and director of our lives, we become easily confused and indecisive or even begin to fear and lack faith and trust in life.

In this day and age it is essential to make time to listen to yourself. We are being fed so much information that tells us what to do, how to feel and what to think and we are so busy doing and distracting ourselves with tools of escape in our spare time that it is easy to forget to stop and just be with the self.

The answers you seek are inside you already. . Stop, be still and feel the truth within you. No one knows what is right you better than yourself. Have faith in yourself and listen to your intuition for that will always steer you in the right direction and the right path.

  

Tuesday 1/28/14- Archangel Azrael-Surrender

Archangel Azreal means “Whom God helps” A gentle beautiful being, Azrael is the angel who accompanies souls to heaven after they passed on. You can call upon him to help you through the grieving process and help you come to terms with the natural cycles of life and death.

Death, like life, is constant. Everything in existence is constantly dying and being reborn-from the cells in our body, to our thoughts and feelings, to the constant shifting cycles of nature. Like most aspects of nature, the human psyche also goes though larger cycles. The Earth has her days, nights, 28 day moon cycle, 12 month sun cycle and seasons just to name a few.

We also cycles and more often than not they are in complete attunement to the natural cycles. Whether that be though the  day, night, the weather, seasons or astrology, we have cycles and rhythms that are in tune with nature, regardless of whether we choose to be conscious of it or not.

The part of the cycle coming up here is death. At this stage we deal with a release and surrender.  We must at this stage really some aspect of our life and our self. Beyond that we must rethink the ego; the part of our self that is attached to identity, to itself being see, being right, the part that buys into the illusion of believing that we can never truly know the unknowable. Right now surrender must occur.  A surrender to God/Goddess, to life, to the universe and a higher intelligence that exists in love.

Once this occurs, a new kind of freedom will be achieved within your psyche and the spirit and we become clean slate for a new phase to begin.

A death phase can be exciting, terrifying, ecstatic, devastating or all the above, depending on what is occurring for you. Ultimately all that can be done is to process whatever feelings are coming up and surrender to this divine and natural cycle of consciousness. Inability to surrender will only result in this part of the cycle being a longer, more drawn-out and difficult process than it necessarily has to be. Right now a true sense of liberation awaits you.  A new phase in life is coming. Change is occurring now, time to embrace and surrender to it.

Wednesday 1/29/14- Archangel Uriel-Alchemy

Archangel Uriel means “Fire of God” Alchemy is the science and philosophy of turning base metals into gold, the magickal power of transmutation.  You can call on Archangel Uriel when you need to gain the spiritual knowledge and understanding to transform some part of your life or self, or to change the form of negative or destructive forces and positive.  With this ability, like a snake shedding its skin, you are able to let go of the old and renewing yourself.

Alchemy is the art and science of turning base metals into gold. This entire process involves raising the vibration of the metal so high that transforms.

This is reflected in the alchemy of the spirit. We have within us the ability to transform ourselves and our experiences, taking in the poison and using a higher vision of higher understanding to transform it into spiritual gold.

In order to experience this, we must first take the time and energy necessary to see the divine order in the universe and allow that insight to penetrate and transform our perceptions about our lives, ourselves and our experiences.

In every moment there is great opportunity for movement and growth.  All it takes is one moment of illumination and the decision to create what you want. Every moment offers the opportunity to see a larger picture and acquire a greater understanding of our lives and the situations occurring within them. When we take this opportunity we can experience clarity, joy, peace and greater sense of personal power.

This is a time where deep alchemical changes are occurring from within. This is a time to transcend the mundane perspectives of reality and experience the world with new eyes.  Profound changes are occurring for you now, both in yourself and your life.  

Your life may be changing, opening up and transforming.  This is a time of increased power as the infinite potential of life appears clearer than ever. This is a time of courage and diligence.  You are integrating personal and universal knowledge, as well as opening up the true potential of your life.

This requires work, focus and bravery to take on what needs to be done at this time. Right now it is time to embrace transformation and as you turn your inner base metals into gold.

Thursday 1/30/14 - Anael-Sexuality

Sexuality is the physical expression of our soul’s essence. It is the part of us that connects to the physical world. Sexual energy connects us to our bodies and inspires us to express ourselves thought use of our bodies, though clothes, make-up, body art and dance. It is though our sexuality that we reveal the deeper side of our nature. This is revealed in the particular way we choose to decorate ourselves and move in our bodies.

Our sexual energy brings us to life. It puts a sparkle in our eyes, a kick in our step and a sway in our hips.

It is through our senses that we develop “sensitivity” on all levels. Though touch, sight, sound, smell and taste we awaken to the richness of life. It is though pleasure that we celebrate life and though ecstasy that we experience oneness with divinity and the nature of the divine.

This may be a time for you to begin exploring and becoming sensitive to your physical self. Have you been honoring your body and sexuality as sacred? Does your physical being, reflect and express your spiritual being? Do you allow yourself to feel sensitive and awake inside your body? Do you feel free to express yourself physically and sexually?

This is a time for reflecting on these questions and bringing balance to this area of your life. If you have a relationship that needs healing in this area or you wanting to bring in a new partner, you must first heal and balance these things within yourself. Others will only ever reflect the true and often hidden feelings you have about yourself.

Therefore, this is the time to love yourself, explore your sensuality, become sensitive, honor your body as scared and enjoy your sexuality.

Friday 1/31/14 - Nathaniel-Creativity

Fire is the light that brings life to our whole solar system. All the planets within this solar system are held in place though the gravitational force of the sun.

Saturday 2/1/414 - Archangel Metatron-Children 

Archangel Metatron serves as the link between the human and the divine; heaven and Earth. Metatron is also the patron Angel children. Metatron is considered one of the mightiest of all Angels. He has been given the title the King of Angels and is said to be the record keeper of all that occurs in heaven.  

Children completely live in the now. They live in the truth of their feelings and perceptions. Children completely from the goddess and through childhood and learn to integrate into the human world.

A release from the “should dos”, the pressures, responsibilities and seriousness of busy, uptight and often grumpy adult life is necessary now.

Sunday 2/2/14 - Dokiel Balance

Dokiel, Angel balance, is known as" The Weighing Angel". In the testing of Abraham XIII stated that Dokiel is the Angel" who is like the sun, holding the balance in his hand" and it is also equated with the Egyptian God Anubis, "the Guardian of the scales".

Whenever there is a need for balance in our lives, the Angel Dokiel can provide us with assistance.

All of life is made up of the will forces. Polarities holding in place opposite aspects of the same central force. Masculine and feminine, day and night, the flesh and spirit, activity impasse activity, thought and feeling, all of life operates through these opposing forces.

When we become aware of the Zhongshan polarities that make up the way of life, we see that our perceptions about right and wrong, good and bad are essentially one-sided views and therefore not true of the whole.

In order to see clearly, we must recognize that both polarities operate within everything, which makes it impossible for anything the only right and wrong, good or bad. In fact it is always both and they cancel each other out, making everything perfect just as it is, no matter which side of the coin your mind wants to wreck nice. Once we are able to see the to the journey of life and release are limited, one-sided perceptions of reality except perfection present within each moment, we can reflect on what role we wish to play as part of the greater whole.

Now is the time for reflecting on how you can bring a greater sense of balance to the perceptions you have in your life, yourself and your world, so that you can go to the eternal space within that is unattached to petty thought and emotion and find your own truth. This truth will guide you on your way. This Angel teaches us about balance extremes. What goes up, must come down, what things in one direction, must at some point, swing the other way.

Monday 2/2/14 - Archangel Ariel-The Earth

Archangel Ariel is the Archangel who governs the Earth and all its creatures, from the animals to the trees. Archangel Ariel can be called upon to help you to become more grounded, feel more connected to the Earth and become more in tune to the healing properties of the natural world. Good for understanding/working with crystals, animal medicine and also for connecting to the realms of Earth Angels (fairies, etc).

Ariel means “Lioness of God.” A warrior and protector of God’s beautiful creation and our home.

Earth-from the forests, oceans and deserts, to all the animals, stones and nature spirits-Ariel governs the natural world and all that is wild and pure.

Humans are also part of the natural world. We are intricately linked to every cell that exists and we are completely dependent on the Earth itself to survive.

Ariel guides and inspires our wild self. Our connection to life and every living organism, our connection to the raw and authentic self, the part of us that is pure and untouched by fear, approval issues,  “should” and other ego-based issues, the pure, wild self that is truth, integrity, fearlessness and connection to life and  life’s cycle.

Ariel inspires us to dance in the moonlight, rejoice in the sunlight, swim in the oceans, put our feet in the sand, open up to our place on this planet and strengthen our connection to life and its cycles.

Stand on the ground and stand up strong.

It seems you may be feeling confused, wiped out, wishy-washy or you can’t get out of your head or stop thinking and getting ahead of yourself, it’s time to snap back down to Earth. Stop thinking about what you “should” do and stop ignoring your present moment.

Just stop and bring your attention back to your body, back to the present, back to you connection to life and its cycles, to the Earth and finally, back to your real self.

Be quiet until your truth emerges. You are being beckoned to awaken you wild and true nature.

Thinking About Adopting a Furbaby

Thinking of adopting a furbaby or two? So many need rescuing due to being abandoned.  Before you bring a furbaby into your home consider them as children. Understand that they are a life long responsibility. You can't just decide it is too much responsibility and just abandon them.

They aren't disposable. They aren't for deciding that they are too much work then take them to a shelter.

The rescues are taking over the responsibility of owners who decided to dispose of their pets. They are struggling too because more and more people are deciding that pets aren't family and they can just get them when they are cute then return them when they get older.

You need to think long and hard before you go get a pet. I am all for giving furbabies homes. In fact our home is blessed with 3 furbaby dogs and several fur kitty's. All are rescues.

Struggles with Autism and Video Gaming

People seem to think that video gaming addiction seems to be a heavily rooted problem in video gaming when autistic. Well that is partially true. There is also a deeper problem for them it involves playing and interacting.

I know this because my son along with his bipolar happens to have pervasive development disorder. It is a form of autism. His days can go from good, to bad, to worse in matter of minutes. It comes from other gamers lack of understanding.

For a few days now he has been fighting like mad with his Xbox360 clan. Which is another name for a gamers group. I didn't think this was a good idea. I was right as it brought more fighting.

He has a lot of trouble with kids, and young adults alike understanding his functioning level. Which is somewhere between 8-14.

His educational level is lower. He was passed along and graduated to high school level with the No Child Left Behind Act. Now he is really behind and can't get into any school that can help him due to having a high school diploma. So much for children not being left behind. This is even happening in online schools today.

The bullying and the fighting that occurs in video gaming is downright destructive to an autistic child or young adult. He will explode due to a game. These games help him to release stress but they can also cause a great deal.

Tonight I started a search for groups for Autistic kids and young adults. I told him I would find him something after he cried his eyes out to me on the phone that no one understands him. No one understands how he functions. I apparently have a good search ahead of me. For I only found a few. It may come down to of I build it they will come.

It isn't fair that they have to deal with the lack of understanding. Some can't even understand what is going on with themselves let alone trying to explain themselves to someone else. Someone who they thought is a close friend. Even close friends don't understand him. They think he is either faking or he is exaggerating his illness.

Tonight was another one of those times when I wish he was normal. Just so he didn't feel so much pain and hurt. He can't shrug it off or let it go. He doesn't understand that concept or how to do that. So he just crys and tells me how much he hates his life and how everyone keeps screwing him. I told him (as I have told him before) that he is hanging out with the wrong people. He needs to be with people like him and who understand him. I hope in the next few days I can find this for him. If not I will build a gaming group for children and young adults with disabilities.

They face constant put downs and bullying in their lives. They shouldn't have to when they are playing a video game.

Why Change?

So many people are faced with changes. Instead of facing them they run. Fear seems to be the driving force in running from changes. Maybe you have accepted change before and it turned out bad. So due to that reason you fear change.

Then you have those people who think change is bad for them or they are in denial that they need to change.

Life is about change and growth. When you are running from change and not facing it,  you are the one impacting your growth. You..not anyone else. You are putting up a road block and in a sense telling the universe that you don't want the new opportunities that are coming your way.

You need to just embrace change. The more you run and the more you fear it the harder it will be for you to accept. Time goes by and with it changes. Changes that alter or course in life. Changes that can put you on the right path to following your light. Changes that can improve you and improve your situation.

Just stop and think for a minute. How many times have you ran or feared change? What happened when you did? How did it impact your life. Think about it for awhile. Then make a mental note that next time change comes your way remember what happened when you ran. Remember where it got you. Look at change as a great tool to help you grow and expand in your path.

If you need help accepting change I offer Holistic Life Coach sessions for help with finding your path and getting life back on track for you. Goals. Goals are important. Even little goals.
