As many of you well know I have been working as a professional medium for many years, over 20 actually and the things I learn daily always amaze me. This past year personally for me and our family has had its share of up and downs. Alot of tears shed, alot of prayers said and answered. At certain points of the year my faith has been tested to the fullest, sometimes it weakened and sometimes it grew stronger. I always seemed to make it through though, but at a cost to my physical and emotional well being. Which I am strongly working on daily. November of this year my beloved husband and myself became proud owners of a new home, a new start, new energy, and new beginnings. It was when we moved into the house I noticed I had a new focus….I have always loved nature and the wonders she offers. I especially am fond of all creatures ( well maybe not bugs or  snakes,,lol ) butterflies have always been an amazing and beautiful creature to me. Since we moved into the house I have been extremely focused on making a butterfly room. I dont know why, its just something that started when we moved here. I have to have them hung on the walls and surrounding me. I know from my teachings and I have always told my clients that butterfly means change, a spreading of your wings and learning to fly. To reach your highest goals and know that even if your wings are not strong enough at first to get you there eventually you will make it.  Butterfly also means coming out of your cocoon and showing your beauty, showing your strength and not keeping yourself locked up inside your personal cocoon.

I feel that this may also be one of the reasons that I am so attracted to the beauties of nature, but to me it goes deeper. I need to change and grow with a lot of things and people in my life. Some will be closer and some will sadly be left behind. My business will change immensely,it will take flight and come out of its own cocoon with in the coming weeks and months. I myself have begun to feel an inner change happening. I feel lighter, I want to spread my own wings and show others how to do the same. Butterfly has a strong place in my life right now, and hopefully for some time to come.

I wanted to write this to show everyone, the times are changing both around us and within us, butterfly comes to help us feel our own wings, to reach our own goals and heights. So spread your wings little butterflies and soar to the highest, and the best. Knowing the whole time that no matter how high you soar their will always be someone there to catch you.

Blessings everyone! I wanted to finally sit down and write about something I see happening on a day to day basis that astounds me and sometimes even makes me want to scream. This subject is how the almighty dollar is effecting and changing our lives on a spiritual level.

We would all love to live in a world of positive happy energy both inside and outside our homes, unfortunately in this day and age sometimes that is just not possible. Thats where the to you comes in and sometimes the cost is unwarranted, actually more times then not it is unwarranted. I am speaking of home cleansing and personal cleansing. There are tons of websites out there that will send you videos or DVDS on how to rid yourself and your home of unwanted and negative energy. They will even do this by phone and if you are scared enough they will come to your home. No i am not speaking of Paranormal Investigations. I am speaking of the people who have learned that loving souls just like yourself want nothing more to live in peace and harmony. Some are very legitimate in their claims and some are scams. How do you know which is which? You dont thats the problem. The cost they are asking maybe one clue, but I would ask everyone too check out the people you are about to deal with thoroughly. More times then not, these people are doing it for the wrong reason and that is the dollar sign, which can bring more negative energy and unrest to both you and your home. As with anything ask for references, dont just take the persons word for it. There is also something else you can do….and that is….Do the cleansing yourself. There are many ways out there to cleanse both yourself and your home, that have the same if not better effect then allowing and paying a stranger to do it for you. It is your home, your person, you reclaim it and rid yourself of all negative energy that may be around you. By negative energy I am not only speaking of spirits, I am speaking of the people we come into contact with on a daily basis. Lets face it not everyone out there is a happy soul, wanting the highest and the best for everyone around them. Below I am going to list some simple easy techniques YOU can do yourself and it wont cost you a dime other then the supplies you need to do this.

Cleansing with Salt: Simple table salt works for this, go to your doorway and on the threshold of your doorstep pour a line of salt. As u do this say a simple prayer, using your own words or these say, With this salt I protect any negative energy from entering my home, may the great spirit and my angels bless this barrier and only allow those with love and light to enter my home.

Outside your home going clockwise, take the sale and pour it onto the ground in a circle around your home. As you walk say, I protect my home and all inside it with this shield from negative energy, coming from all sources, living, passed, and even the weather. I call upon the heavenly father, angels and all my protectors to bless this barrier. Circle your home 3 times and say the same prayer each time.

Inside your home going from room to room, light a white candle, bless it with some rose oil or jasmine before you start. Open all windows while doing this cleansing. In each room hold the candle in your hand pic the light from the candle flame growing outwards, filling the room until it is full of light. Saying a cleansing prayer, I protect this room from everything and everyone negative that enters here, if there is any negative energy in this room I cast you out with the light of the heavenly father. I call on all my angels to fill this room with their love, healing and guidance blessing anyone who enters here.

Smudging ( burning white sage) is also a great way to cleanse and bless your home. Light the sage stick and blow out the flame using only the smoke, blow it around the room and pay close attention to the corners and closets. Say a prayer while doing this as well.

Cleansing yourself: Smudging works well for this also by lighting the sage and blowing out the flame use the smoke and bring it into your heart chakra, take your hand and bring the smoke all around you, so that yoou have protected and cleansed your entire body.

Taking a bath in rose oil is another good cleansing, for your personal self, performing a basic meditation of the water running over you and removing all the negative energy you have picked up during your day.

There are several ways to do any of these, most u can find online or shoot me an email and Ill help you with your personal need. You do not need to shell out hundreds even thousands of dollars to do something you can do yourself. We are being bombarded with ads selling cleansings and classes that we do not need, we can learn ourself by doing something simple as reading a book or a very knowledgeable website.

I write this in hopes of saving you my readers some money that is not needed to be spent. I hope you have gained something from this and remember your energy is stronger then a strangers coming into your home. If you, the homeowner do the cleansing yourself using your own energy it is always stronger.

This is also a great time to reconnect with your inner child and leave all the adult stresses behind. Remember what it was like to be a kid again and to laugh and play in the snow. Not only will it make you smile but it will rejuvenate your energy, and bring back some wonderful memories you may have long forgotten. As adults we think of the snow as bothersome and a hindrance but when seen through child eyes it is a wonderland of laughter.

As it gets closer to the Christmas holidays this is also the perfect time to head out, plan a family day and pick out that perfect Christmas tree. What memories that would hold for your children, and remember to take your camera along for those unexpected moments….We here at readingsbbyjody.com will be here during the times when you need an uplifting message, or a kind word.. Visit our website for more blogs to come on the holidays and much much more….So in conclusion I say Have Fun!!!! and Enjoy the times to come!!! Happy Holidays everyone……Angels Bless….Jody

It is that time of year again, as Autumn replaces the sunshine of Summer, the leaves are changing to glorious colours, and the fall flowers have replaced summer ones. This is a time to grab your jacket and take a walk through Mother Natures beauty, watch as as the little animals scurry to get ready for winter, watch as the birds of summer fly south, and all  the summer time wildlife prepares for the changes that lay ahead.  This is a time for reflection, a time to look back at  the memories that you have made over the summer months and so fondly have stored  them in your heart.

As Autumn approaches and the chill in the air replaces the warmth of the summers day, remember it is also a time of rest for some, the trees will be shedding their leaves in time to rest and prepare for next summer, animals will go into hiding to rest and prepare for their new families of the summer as well. Dont think of Autumn as time of closure, their is new life coming about, with the fall harvests, fall flowers, holiday dinners such as Thanksgiving, and the fun time such as Halloween, where all the little ghosts and goblins wear their chosen costume and laughter fills the night air. Autumn is also a time of spirit. When the veil is thinning and the loved ones on the other side can communicate the easiest. Welcome them, and enjoy the little time you have together once again.

I love this time of year, I love the colors and the beauty mother nature produces for us, as she prepares for her slumber in the coming months. Enjoy this time with family and friends, share an outing with them, a walk or a jump in the fresh raked leaves. It is a time of memories to share with upcoming generations.

Mother nature has exploded with color for all of us, take time to go out and enjoy every second you can and as you do, remember the Guides, Angels and loved ones that walk with you….May your Autumn be full of laughter and memories.

Angels Bless, Jody Fox www.readingsbyjody.com
