What is a chakra? The term ‘Chakra’ is Sanskrit for wheel and refers to the spinning, spherical energy center that makes up a chakra. This energy is ancestrally known as ‘prana’, like the pranayama breathing techniques (breath control) from practices such as yoga and meditation.
What is Intent? When we create an intent, there is a desire to generate change based on a reason or purpose. We need to keep an open mind and fully believe that change is possible. One of the ways this can be accomplished is through repetition of a phrase or statement, like a mantra. Mantras incorporate spiritual practices to connect with various energies. When a mantra includes an intent, we can manifest the desired change.
What Is Vibrational Energy? Energy travels in waves and can be measured in frequencies. Our bodies have the ability to emit emotional vibrations which can be felt in both lower and higher frequencies. The lower vibrational frequencies are associated with negative emotions like sadness and anger, while the higher vibrational frequencies are associated with the more positive emotions like happiness and love.
What are totems and what do they mean? Totems are a representation seen through a natural sacred object that has spiritual significance. They can be a mineral, plant or animal and are used to represent a society or clan. Totems can help our spirits align with the many parts of Mother Earth as they have vast wisdom that can help us heal and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If we practice a shamanic lifestyle, we can also use their vibration to help in our daily lives. The first part of the task is finding or aligning with a totem. The second part is to get to know their vibration, characteristics and habits. We should ask what the totem has to teach or help us with. The third part is learning how to intuitively connect with them when you need to. How do we align with the right totem? There are a few ways to determine what totem fits with our vibration and higher knowing or dreamer self. We can rely upon our higher knowing as it is always available to help us connect through our intuition. We can therefore presume that it will help us intuitively recognize that the totem we are attracted to will be perfect for us. This however, requires trust as doubt will creep in when the totem does not seem appealing or it is not the favorite choice. If we research what they are, where and how they live and what makes them unique, however, it can dispel some of the doubt we are feeling. Also, in gaining a better understanding of our totem and their vibration, we will begin to appreciate the healing properties and comfort they may provide. This is the “medicine” or medicinal properties we are seeking. Another way to find our totem is through meditation. Although there are many ways to meditate, we will only be listing a few. There is a meditative journey in which the use of a drum allows us to connect with our totem in the ether or void space (also called the dream space) and the field of knowledge. Another way is a walking or dancing meditation in nature which can be done on our own or in a group. The peaceful sounds of nature allow for an immersive experience in which the right totem can be revealed. There is also dream meditation, which is accomplished while we are asleep. This type of meditation can unveil our totem to us through a message in our sleep or dream altar or ceremonial journey. Whichever form of mediation is preferred, it is helpful to create an intent so we can work with the energy of the spirit helpers. The intent centers around what the outcome or purpose is and why we are seeking that outcome or purpose. Sometimes we are looking for something specific and permanent, like our power animal. Other times, we are looking for our totem with a definite purpose and shorter time frame. What is our birth totem and how do we find it? Our birth totem is determined by our birthday. It is provided to us through the teachings of Sun Bear and his Earth Astrological Reference Chart, which is found in his book A Sun Bear Book, Dancing With The Wheel, The Medicine Wheel Workbook. The date system is very close to Western Astrology, so it is easy to navigate with our birth date information. Here is a quick reference to get started and learn more about birth totems.

Our perceptions and views are influenced by societal expectations and the guidance we receive during our childhood and adolescence. This is why true awareness often eludes many of us and why personal healing is so important. In the first installment of our six part series, we will be discussing what Personal Healing is and why it is so important. Personal healing is our inner work or acceptance of our perceptions and patterns of thinking/programming. It is only from within that we can find the peace, joy and love we all strive for in this life. This includes all of the aspects that can be cared for within our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and life forces. It requires constant care for it is only through consistent review that we become aware of what is out of balance. Thus, our decisions or choices, based on our free will, ultimately determine the effect or outcome. If our inner work is being neglected when an emotional trigger occurs, it disrupts the harmony in our lives and takes control of our intuition. This could be detrimental to our earning capability, health and family life which is why commitment to personal healing should be paramount. This cannot be solely learned from books as you need to personally experience it to fully know and understand. It is only through real engagement and commitment that changes in the brain and body will disrupt these internal patterns. It all begins with us! As I continually heal my inner wheel, I feel the effects of how much my intuition has expanded and grown. The moments of realization have only increased my curiosity and wonder, effectively prompting me to do more and be more than I ever have been.

Intuitive Excellence is a learned skill that can enrich our lives and empower us to make better decisions. It teaches us to trust our intuition which then allows us to see our environment from a different perspective. When we can clearly listen, feel, sense and know, we can create more flow and use less energy. This is particularly effective when we listen in a neutral state that is open to all possibilities, as it can help us create a lifestyle that is more harmonious and balanced with nature. We, in turn, become more responsible for our lives, bodies, families and communities. Even though our world sometimes makes us feel out of control, what motivates me is hope. Hope that is born out of knowing we are experiencing an evolution of deeper understanding. We are beginning to explore and navigate energy fields and flow with more synchronicity than ever before. Science is also becoming more aware of, and supportive of these very real abilities. They can even be measured through brain waves (gamma waves) and our hearts. If you would like to hear more, please click on the following link: https://youtu.be/W2s1Yh_c l aw A major challenge for many of my clients and students is becoming “emotionally triggered” in certain situations as they cannot seem to break the pattern of repeating an emotion(s). The emotions range from anger, fear, frustration, judgement and sometimes feeling personally attacked. When we experience an “emotional trigger”, we do not hear our intuition clearly because we are responding or behaving in the same manner we have learned from past experiences. We are essentially stuck, until we take action to change the pattern or our emotional response to it. It is never too late to learn to listen to our intuition, indeed it will only strengthen our intuitive abilities and further enhance our life. If you want to heal the emotional response, you must first acknowledge the emotion you are feeling and recognize that you were triggered. Then, you must release it. This takes practice, as it may stem from another lifetime, past event or trauma. If you are unable to accomplish this on your own, you may require the help of a professional practitioner. If we learn to trust our intuitive abilities, so much can change around us, even the planet. Intuitive Excellence will take us into a magical life of health and abundance as we wake up to the new world we all desire. Are you ready? This concludes our six part series. We hope you enjoyed it.

In the fourth installment of our six part series, we will be discussing how to Master the Energy Field of Survival. In the previous installments, we have explored the three key categories of our Ego Characteristics and how they help us survive and dance through life. These characteristics, when expressed through a Shamanic lens (in regards to energy), enable us to gain a deeper understanding of how we interact in the world when faced with stressful situations. In these situations, we tend to disregard how much our emotions either block our energy, when we operate on the dark side (harmful to our bodies), or release our energy, when we operate on the light side (heal our bodies). While our essence is focused on survival, we do not use our amazing intuitive gifts. We could save time, frustration and energy, if we were to instead focus on mastering the light side of our unique qualities. Mastering our Energy Field is a process that requires personal work to achieve success. Listed below are some tips on how to accomplish this: Acknowledge Emotional Triggers. Release and clear the energy you are holding. Seek help if you can’t accomplish this on your own. Forgiving your-self. Celebrate your healing and accomplishments. Recognize it starts with you and then your outside world can change. It is never too late to begin. Even in life transitions, this energy can transform. We have created an avatar (fictitious person) that will illustrate and clarify any questions you may have regarding the last four installments. The avatar will possess one or more qualities of an Ego Character (through the Shemanic lens), a Core Personality, the Moods of Stalking, and will also Master their Energy Field. You may relate to one or all the avatar’s traits, which will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself or perhaps someone you know. Our avatar is female and lives near the city. Her Ego Character is a Masochist/Skitzoid with the Core Personality of a Do-Gooder and her Moods of Stalking are “Ruthless and Cunning” (Castaneda, Carlos, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, 1985). She is in her late 40’s and has a position of authority in a corporate job. Although she enjoys her job and has been successful, she also loves being a mom and wife. She wants to contribute more to her family’s needs but never puts herself first. She has also been feeling lost and wondering how she can better fulfill her desires and be of service to humanity. Lately, she has been wondering if exploring some of her spiritual curiosity will provide her with an opportunity to help those in need but is afraid of quitting a great paying job. Although she longs to escape the corporate arena, she needs the security of knowing where her next paycheque is coming from. The confusion surrounding these issues leads to feelings of hopelessness at times and causes her to become overwhelmed. Even though she possesses a strong sense of knowing when she has a clear vision, the uncertainty she feels often drowns out the soft intuitive messages. She often speaks her mind and is told that she can sometimes be quite abrupt. She can talk herself into and out of anything. If there is something she needs badly enough, she can manipulate the situation to make her world work for her. While she is always willing to help her friends and neighbors, there is an underlying expectation of reciprocation. She feels she is a survivalist and is numb to any kind of pain. If she doesn’t like what she is feeling, she can choose to leave her body in an instant. This often leaves her feeling disoriented and lost ( not grounded). She always wants to maintain a peaceful existence, is trustworthy and has a high sense of integrity. Our avatar is an empath who is unaware of her abilities. She not only feels everyone's energy, but often mistakes those energies as her own. This creates anxiety and emotional turbulence. Her body structure is quite thick and she possesses an excessive amount of energy. As an energy generator, she feels the heat and knows how to run her life force. She loves being with others but gets overwhelmed sometimes by how she feels in crowds. She has amazing ideas and wants to create more but doesn’t feel she can succeed on her own. What approach would you use if she came to you for a session or coaching based on her traits? First and foremost, you must approach her with neutrality. Even though she may not share all of the parts of herself with you initially, if you can read the body structure first, you will notice her physical appearance and how she comments on the questions you ask. When you are holding a space with a masochist, like our avatar, you cannot humiliate her. You will need to check in with her to ensure she is hearing what you say as she possesses the ability to leave her body when the need to escape arises. This is especially true if the emotion is hard to deal with. These reactions would reveal more of a skizoid structure. Since our avatar is also ruthless, she will be straight up about what she does or does not like. This trait can be advantageous in regards to healing, as she will definitely pursue it. Did you notice how her cunning is engaging if she is trying to get out of something that isn’t comfortable? She will also want to know everything about the process and what the expected result will be because she just has to know. The core personality will relax though and become pleasant if you are clear and concise, especially if you assign tasks, such as homework. This brief summary serves to highlight how the choices we make are for protecting ourselves and our essence. It also shows how our perception of feeding the dark side or the light side will further keep our ego character fed with the reality we have created. KI Lifestyle Solutions offers programs and classes that further explore these traits and issues.

Part five of our series, which will discuss How our Perception of Reality Molds our Story and Affects our Intuition, will be posted to our blog on September 3, 2021.
