Dog Medicine - Jeshua’s Sword

Dog medicine usually comes up as a reference to loyalty. Care workers often carry Dog medicine, as do philanthropists, spiritual gurus, and soldiers. On the one hand, it can represent compassionate service to mankind, but on the flipside, it can symbolize being loyal to a person or cause out of a need for approval, or a fear for your own safety. The best way to right contrary Dog is to be your own best friend. In [Jeshua’s] case, it involved a ‘belly rub‘…

I was guided to work with energy emanating from Jeshua’s heart on his right side. The location suggested that he’d had experiences related to masculine love that he was ready to clear. After the energy that manifested the original (injury) had funnelled out, I placed my hand into the stream that remained to take a look. At a short distance from his physical body (indicating a relatively recent past life), I saw berries. They looked like Blueberries or Saskatoons, and they were swelling as though about to burst. I knew that its relevance would be eventually be made clear, but I couldn’t help but wonder (aloud), “What could that possibly mean?”

After being given that initial image, I saw nothing, and the energy stream dissipated somewhat. This suggested that it was up to Jeshua to see his own answers, so I guided him through a regression...

He saw himself as a medieval soldier. Apparently, he’d seen glimpses of this past life before, but hadn’t had the awareness that would enable him to resolve any of the issues that might have arisen here. There was a lot of information associated with battles. He spoke a little about fighting for Justice, but also about losing clarity in that regard.

I was guided to ask him about his father, to get Jeshua to look into the time when was a little boy in that life. He told me a little about abuse that the boy had suffered by his father’s hand. Then, I saw an image of a very large hand offering a small sword. For the fact that the hand seemed large to the point of being obese, I interpreted it as being that of a man who was covering up his own pain. He was passing on a symbol of what he had taken up to protect his own self from the hurts that he’d experienced himself. Symbolically, this was the point at which the boy that was Jeshua’s previous incarnation took the sword that he was passed.

I explained to Jeshua my take on why - as males - we take up this ‘cause’. If we’re physically threatened/oppressed in our boyhoods, we can automatically associate our oppressors as having strength (that’s greater than our own). Our unconscious internal dialogue can go something like this: “This man that I’m looking to for care and protection (~ for love) is hurting me. He’s much stronger than I am, and I don’t feel safe. He has greater power than I do. If I want to feel safe, I need to have power. His is the kind of strength that I should align with.” As strange as it may seem, on a certain level, it’s actually a loving act on the part of the adult man… “This is what I’ve used to (try to) protect myself, and now I’m passing it on to you.”

I asked Jeshua to get the young boy’s attention. He said that the boy was angry, and that he was flailing a sword around. I was nudged to tell Jeshua that his presence looked imposing to the boy. Perhaps if he were to kneel down so that he would be more at the boy’s level, he might not appear as threatening. That calmed the boy somewhat, but he still wasn’t coming any closer. I asked Jeshua to consider offering him something. “What does he like?“ I asked. My guides chimed in, “You know what he likes!“ Jeshua searched his thoughts for a while. Seeing that he was at a bit of a loss, they continued, “You pull some berries out of your pocket for him! You see what he thinks then!” The boy immediately brightened. I asked Jeshua what he was doing with the sword. He said, “There is no sword.”

I let him know that, now that they were reunited, this little boy would teach him a lot. Jeshua was ready to come into awareness of his True Dog medicine, to own as his own what was natural to him.

I went to the fridge, and served up a couple bowls of Blueberries and yoghurt (thinking on it now, I find it interesting that yoghurt is something that you‘d think of has having been rotted, yet is nourishing).

As I mentioned, upright Dog medicine has to do with being your own best friend. Being compassionate towards your natural, loving self will empower you to be of compassionate service to others. Feeding yourself what you love (in this case, ‘filling your puppy’s exposed tummy with yummy berries‘), will free you, and provide for you to be able to free and feed others in turn.

A soldier doesn’t fear the enemy outside; he/she fears what they perceive as being the enemy within. Physical prowess is irrelevant if one is too afraid to befriend their own vulnerability. True power comes from realizing and facing what it is that you’re actually afraid of. Love is your own power.

All the Power to you, my True Dog friend.

‘Ghost Hunt’, or ‘Ascension Assistance’…?

I was having a bit of trouble getting started with how to write this, so I quieted my mind and asked my guides for help. I heard, “No one said that this was going to be easy”. Not exactly the help I was looking for, but I do love that they have sense of humour!

During some of the healings that I’ve been privileged enough to participate in, I’ve helped clients to release energies associated with past lives where a part of them was still stuck in a specific scenario/location, as what we’d describe as a ‘ghost’ might be. Let me give you one example…

I was working with an energy coming from [Rachel’s] hip. The location on her body was symbolic of something that was preventing her from moving forward in life, a weight that she was carrying. After the ‘old’ energy associated with whatever manifested the imbalance had streamed out, I focused my attention on an area within the energetic cord that remained to see what information might come forth.

I saw images of an upholstered chair from the 18^th (or early 19^th) century in a very opulent room, and sensed Rachel as having been an older woman in that life. As I guided her through a vision quest, Rachel described that (she / the woman) moved there as part of the agreement of an arranged marriage. The woman was not at all happy there, having been moved away from her family to somewhere that she felt totally alone and unloved. For the sake of her family, she’d been keeping herself trapped there, even after death, forsaking her own happiness for the sake of marital convention.

I was guided to try a couple of things to help the woman move on, but she wouldn’t abandon what she saw as her responsibility. It wasn’t until she was asked whom it was that she wanted to see that she would follow our pleadings and look up towards the light… “Mother!“ Other members of her soul group had been above her since she’d passed, trying as they might to get her attention. Now, with the realization that her daughter was finally able to see her outstretched arms, her mother’s faced beamed.

Immediately after the woman ascended, Rachel excitedly exclaimed she physically felt that a weight had lifted off. As I was prompted, I channelled energy back into the area that I‘d been working with.

Rachel excitedly told me that, since her healing, she’s started seeing spirit again. She’s much happier, and far more energetic. I consider that she’s become more of her whole/natural self, that she’s opened up to more of her intrinsic abilities.

It would seem that it’s because the woman ‘left’ that Rachel feels lighter, but my understanding is that, because the woman returned to her soul group (of which Rachel is obviously a part), more of the parts that make Rachel‘s soul complete are available in spirit to empower her.

As these energies I encounter when I work on people appear to be previous incarnations of themselves, stuck in another time, in a specific place, I considered how likely it was that they’re what we typically refer to as ghosts. With thoughts of Rachel’s healing fresh in my mind (and one more request to join a ghost hunt on Facebook), I started to consider what might happen if we/I were to work from ‘the other end’… ? The understanding that I’ve come to is that a ‘ghost’ can be a split off energy that a(n earth) soul requires for its evolution, to help it return to its natural state of completion. Through the process of helping a (trapped) spirit ascend, does a person in a present incarnation somewhere suddenly feel lighter, suddenly come into more of their natural abilities? The shift is coming, after all. I think I’ll do some of my own ‘paranormal’ investigating.
