2024 Lily Dale Experience

2024 Lily Dale Experience

This year marked my 10th time to present workshops at the spiritualist community of Lily Dale, located in Western New York.

Prior to embarking on my journey, I set the intention to travel with ease, and the flights did indeed go smoothly. After waiting in line for an hour to retrieve my rental car, I inquired if there were any manager specials to which the agent asked if I would like a Dodge Challenger. I drive a Dodge Charger and was excited to drive something fun and familiar even though I reserved an economy car.

Despite the car rental delay, I arrived in Lily Dale Tuesday night just in time to receive a healing in the Healing Temple. I visited the temple three more times with the final visit being just prior to my departure that Saturday. I love basking in the energy of this beautiful sacred space and am so grateful to the healers who volunteer their time to be of service and share healing.

I stayed at the Leolyn Inn, which was a first for me. The accommodations were comfortable and cool. I originally reserved a room at the Maplewood Hotel where I stayed last year and didn’t realize I needed to request air conditioning as all rooms did not have it. After checking in, I made my way to the third floor to view an open window and no window unit. Being in the menopausal stage of life, I needed relief from the heat and humidity. I quickly requested to know other options and my reservation was immediately transferred to the Leolyn, which is just outside the Lily Dale gate.

Wednesday’s weather was reminiscent of spring in Oklahoma. Tropical Storm Beryl, formerly Hurricane Beryl, made its arrival with tornadic activity and lots of rain. Sirens went off with tornado warnings, and we were advised to take shelter on the ground floor in the Maplewood Hotel. The 1 pm message service was canceled altogether. After the weather calmed, I opted to nap for several hours, which was exactly what I needed.

That evening, I did a book signing at Sacred Grounds Coffee House. Stacy did a short Facebook live, and the Facebook interview is archived if you are guided to watch it. I had the same meal 3 nights in a row at Sacred Grounds Coffee House – pasta salad, beet salad and a lavender cookie. If you are planning to visit, be sure and check out their Art-0-Mat machine, too! I bought 5 pieces from it.

I ventured into the Leolyn Woods, an old growth forest, Tuesday night and again Friday night. Both times, I experienced more magical moments with the fairies. I was alone in the woods the first night. The second time was even more magical as I got to share the experience with two others.

On Saturday morning, while walking to Inspiration Stump in the Leolyn Woods, I experienced another magical moment. As I approached the opening where the benches are located, I observed a hawk perched on the top of the bench and a black squirrel on the seat. Eventually, the hawk flew away and the squirrel scurried off. Undoubtedly, there was a message for me with this observation, and yes, I did reference Ted Andrew’s Animal Speak Pocket Guide upon returning home.

According to Ted Andrews, hawk’s message indicates “Spirit vision and guardianship surround you. Be patient and observe. You will see the opportunities. Signs are clear.” Squirrel’s message is a reminder to “balance your work and play. Prepare for the future, but do not get lost in preparations. Find ways to gather and to gift.”  Both messages were significant in the moment and for the entire trip as well as pertinent to future experiences.

The trip definitely provided me with restoration and rejuvenation as well as a nice reset. Lily Dale will always have a very special place in my heart, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be of service once again in this magical sacred space! Since returning home to Oklahoma, I have spent time in reflection pondering what magical experiences I will experience next.

Return to Lily Dale in 2024

Return to Lily Dale in 2024

I will once again be making a journey from Oklahoma to Western New York. I fondly remember my first visit to the spiritualist community of Lily Dale, NY in 2014. Since that initial trek east, I have made the journey ten times, and it will be the tenth season that I have presented for Lily Dale Assembly.

Lily Dale has been an integral part of my spiritual journey. You may be guided to read my blog, Basking in the Energy of Lily Dale, to understand why the place is so special to me. I always make the most of my time on the sacred grounds surrounded by Cassadaga Lake and the Leolyn Woods. Although I am there to teach, I also appreciate being immersed in the beautiful healing energy.

While I am there July 9-13, I will be doing an author talk at Sacred Grounds Coffee House in Lily Dale on Wednesday, July 10 at 6 pm.

On July 11, I will be presenting the full-day workshop titled, Exploration of your Energy Self where we will embark on an energetic awareness journey to explore your energy self.

On July 12, I will be teaching another full-day workshop titled, Exploration of your Intuitive Self. This workshop is intended to deepen and strengthen your connection to Spirit as you hone your intuitive skills and build confidence in trusting the information you receive.

Friday evening, I will teach Self-Care for Sensitives. It is an experiential self-care workshop for sensitives. Our time together will be one of connection, inspiration, empowerment and rejuvenation.

Creating Consciously with Intention in 2023

Creating Consciously with Intention in 2023

The chapter titled 2022 is almost fully written, and we are now beginning to consider the chapter titled 2023. Although we cannot change what we previously experienced, we can shift the energy and our perception of those experiences, especially those we deem less than desirable. We are energetic beings having a human life experience, and each one of us are powerful creators. We must simply realize the power that we behold, which means that we can become conscious creators.

To create consciously and intentionally, we must first be mindful of the energy we are emitting into the Universe with our thoughts, words and actions, since this energetic emission can be reflected back to us according to the Law of Attraction. A quick summation of this concept is that we create our own reality, like attracts like and the present is always perfect. The Law of Attraction suggests that what we focus on will be drawn to us and that what we believe will happen, does happen. Practicing this concept in a healthy, balanced way, rather than feeling stressed, obsessed or overwhelmed with it, is essential, particularly since our thoughts are energy.

Actually, since everything is energy and has its own frequency and vibration, what we focus on can become our reality. The radio signals we are broadcasting include our self-talk and the other extraneous thoughts running through our mind as well as our emotions. The thoughts that we think and the words that we speak are the foundation for our creation. Once we fully comprehend this, we can create more consciously.

The arrival of the new year is the perfect opportunity for us to embrace the newness and the potential infinite possibilities in order to truly create a new beginning or at least a new outlook. Initially, the creation process involves getting clear about what we desire to manifest then having an awareness of the energy we are infusing into the creation.

Many times, our human-ness begins overthinking, overanalyzing and even questioning the manifestation details. Really, our only priority is to check-in to see what the intention is behind the manifestation. Is it love-based or one of lack (fear-based)? Neither is good nor bad as they are merely energetic vibrations that we are infusing into the creation, which will then affect the outcome.

Practicing non-attachment to the outcome is a necessary aspect to conscious creation. If we have pre-conceived notions and expectations, these thoughts can also influence the outcome. Understandably, we have to remember that not everything we desire to manifest is possible for us right now and may not come to fruition in the manner in which we expect it to be fulfilled. As an example, many individuals state they would love to win the lottery. Perhaps, with this request, they are really asking to be financially secure with all of their needs being met.

An intentional creative process entails invoking the power of choice along with the energy of words through clear, honest and authentic communication. An intention can be a plan, a goal or an emotion infused into an idea; it is often thought of as why or how we do what we do. Setting intentions involves working with our intuition and requires an awareness of our inner desires. The process includes connecting fully with our being — body, mind and spirit — in order to align with a desired aspect of life or a feeling. In addition, the action of setting intentions also requires addressing our resistances and may even involve delving deeper within.

We each have the ability to create consciously with intention. Let us set the intention to live an inspired life as we intentionally journey through each day of 2023. In doing so, we can choose to fully embrace our aliveness with every choice we make.

Understanding Our Energy Pulls

Understanding Our Energy Pulls

Many of us have been waiting, hoping and even praying for the health concerns to subside and a sense of normalcy in our lives to return. The reality is that we may currently be experiencing a new normal. I often speak of energy awareness and practicing good energetic hygiene, but are you aware of your energy pulls? The pulls I’m referring to are those people, places and things that pull at and affect our energy, especially in a negative way. We may consciously choose to invest energy in someone or something OR they may be affecting our energy without our consent (and even conscious knowing).

To explain further, the Solar Plexus chakra, which is located in our abdominal area, is our power center. Begin tuning in to when you feel energy pulls affecting this area. Feelings of nervousness, anxiety or unsettled energy are some ways it may appear.

I invite you to take a moment and spend some time in reflection. Allow whatever and whomever to come into your mind and conscious awareness. As these thoughts flow through, become aware of how often you spend time dwelling on something you need to do – a task that needs to be finished, a project that needs to be completed, errands to be ran, a phone call to be made or email to be sent. Also, become aware of those people in your life that seem to be a distraction or feel exhausting to be around. These examples as well as many other situations are all energy pulls whether we fully realize it or not.

Put your energy into building what is creative, valuable and empowering.
And you won’t have to constantly fight against what is destructive and draining.
~ Ralph Marston

As you feel led, I encourage you to become more aware of your own energy pulls and then choose to eliminate the pull. Either complete the task or stop focusing energy on it. Cocooning involves pulling your energy in, which may also involve establishing boundaries, as you become more aware of energy drains.

Afterwards, intentionally gather your energy bringing it back to you. Providing a visual, I literally move my arms and hands in a gathering motion and envision that I am restoring the energy to the Solar Plexus chakra that was previously disbursed. Practicing good energetic hygiene is a must. Start by grounding and centering your energy; then clear your auric field, cut energetic cords and keep your chakras cleared and balanced. You’ll feel so much better when you do – physically, mentally, emotionally and definitely energetically!

Calm within the Chaos

Calm within the Chaos

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.
If we’re frantic, life will be frantic. If we’re peaceful, life will be peaceful.

~ Marianne Williamson

Any time the energy around you feels a bit heavy or overwhelming, it is essential for you to remember that you have the power to shift the energy. You can allow what is happening around you to affect you or you can maintain the calm within the chaos and consciously choose how you wish to respond. Becoming aware of your own energetic emission is necessary, so that you can gauge what feels “off” to you.

I have mentioned before that I am aware of issues connected to Mercury Retrograde, but I don’t intentionally fuel them with fear or worry. During my time in Kansas City recently, my patience was really tested as I experienced numerous challenges. There were issues involving my email, website, communication and even my own energy. On four separate occasions, I actually had to have my hotel room key reprogrammed. Each time was a reminder to pause, breathe and do my best to stay in a space of grace.

To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful.
It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind
amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life.
~ Jill Bolte Taylor

When there is perceived chaos surrounding you, come back to you by grounding and centering your energy. To ground your energy, visualize your legs as tree roots growing into the earth below and work with grounding crystals, such as hematite, jet, smoky quartz and black tourmaline. Staying hydrated assists with grounding as well.

Then, center your energy by visualizing white light at your core and see that light shifting to yellow, which is the color of the solar plexus chakra. Breathe in peace, love, calmness and serenity as you exhale the heavy, lower vibrational energy that may be affecting you. Remember, often times you cannot control what is happening around you, but you can attain the peace within and choose how you wish to respond.
