In life, we often look for happiness everywhere else except within ourselves. Facebook, Netflix, online, in food, alcohol, drugs, the weather, other people, and everything else in between. What most of never really do is look inside and find happiness in who we are, what we are about, where we going, what we are achieving, and how we are showing up to life, day in day out. The external factors are good, but true happiness starts and ends with who you are as a person and gaining an understanding of yourself.

For many, and I have been hear myself, there is so much emphasis on finding happiness in everything external to us. Expectation is placed on situations and there is a heavy reliance on external circumstance for us to gain a level of contentment. The sad thing is, when things don’t go to plan, someone lets you down, or an expectation…

Fear is a powerful feeling and thought process that for some is absolutely debilitating. Fear of failure, fear of what others may think, fear of not being good enough, fear of what it will all mean if you put yourself out there into the World. Some become so engulfed in their fears that they never really make a start. Are you one of these people? Have you understood what the trigger is for the fear? Is it any of the above? Is it what lies on the other side of fear and the possibility of something amazing?

The reality is, we all need to become fearless in the pursuit of what makes us happy, what lights us up, and makes our soul start to dance, We need to live in the fear of what it will mean if we don’t do what we desire in this limited time on earth…

I never liked the word compromise, it feels like there’s some negative vibration hanging onto it. I used to think it was because I was stubborn and selfish. Objectively, it could be because the underlying meaning is that someone has to give something up. Yet again, objectively, sometimes we do have to give something up for the greater good of all. However, that then is no longer a compromise, but a matter of reaching an agreement or even a consensus.

Maybe it is because compromise seems to hang around the vibration of a scarcity mindset. There is only so much, and therefore someone has to give up something so the other(s) can have that little bit of something (else). Assuming we take the view of an abundant mindset, then we push really hard to see beyond what is available at hand, at present, and look for something bigger and…

I came across a darling pamphlet last fall and it was filled with poems and other wordsmithing about herbs. I wanted to share a few with you and talk about what they mean. If you want to get the pamphlet visit greatcape.com or email ginkgo@greatcape.com. Here are a few of my favorites that were in there.

Skin Ailment Assailment

Conditions of the skin may begin within
From fatty foods–(g)astronomical sin!
From foods that we eat that create body heat–
Like meat and wheat and far-too-sweet treats.

The fact of the matter (and the “why” of this chatter)
Is that what we INgest doesn’t always Digest
As well as it should, and so fouls the blood,
Thus breaking the skin from the shin to the chin!

The herbs in this blend may help make amends
For showering your liver distain;
For they’ll un-mud the blood, do their job with a not

These are two articles combined for a total of 12 categories and you can have small to large companies of spirit guides dedicated to helping you.

There are at least 5 types of Spirit Guides that we all have on our team, however there are probably many more that work behind the scenes without our knowledge.

Here are the 5 Main Types of Spirit Guides That We Work With:

1. Guardian Spirit Guides 

These Spirit Guides are protectors and have the ability to intervene in our lives in a physical way in order to protect us. Guardian Spirit Guides can control the movement of a car, can create an energetic shield around you and can stop you from walking into danger.

Guardian Spirit Guides can also communicate with you through animal messengers. If you see the same animal or an animal in an unusual place, it could be your Guardian’s way…

Because modern culture doesn’t have a role for the shamanic archetype, many people who grow up outside indigenous villages are shamans – healers who have access to the spirit world – and don’t know it.

Many naturally wind up in overtly healing professions, such as medicine, psychology, or life coaching.

They’ll take part in various forms of sacred activism and spend their lives healing the planet, for example, rather than healing people.

But some wind up in professions where they may feel like they don’t fit in at all. I wrote this article to honor the shamanic tradition, not to violate it in any way.

Even those who enter the healing professions may feel out of place, because the systems of Western medicine and psychology leave little room for a shaman to practice his or her natural healing art, which may include such unconventional practices as intuitive…
