DO YOU HAVE TO BE VEGETARIAN TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATION?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Do you have to be vegetarian to raise your vibration?
–Carnivore Trying to Quit
DEAR CARNIVORE TRYING TO QUIT:
Each individual’s body has unique needs at different times. Some people can do very well on a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet. Some people have a little bit of a harder time, particularly if they are allergic to many protein sources such as nuts or dairy or soy. There are some great protein powders (I love the chocolate Vega powder) for those who are trying to cut down on meat consumption but still have enough protein.
I think it’s also important when eating meat to do so consciously—not eating more than necessary, making meat choices that take environmental effects into consideration, and thanking the spirit of the animal who is sustaining you. Intent and consciousness are probably more important in raising your vibration than diet alone although I think that can include not eating more meat than your body truly needs.
If you want to become vegetarian, cut down your meat consumption gradually and educate yourself on how to eat a balanced vegetarian diet and keep checking in with your body to see what it needs. Have fun eating delicious vegetarian foods!
WHY CAN WOMEN MAKE SEXIST GENERALIZATIONS BUT MEN CAN’T?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Why is it okay for women to rag on how much men suck but men cannot do the same without being called misogynistic? Aren’t women who generalize and call all men pigs just as sexist?
–Just Sayin’ (United States)
DEAR JUST SAYIN’:
I agree that it is just as sexist for women to make a general statement categorizing all men as pigs as it is for men to make a general statement characterizing women as being anything. But women’s sexist behavior does not legitimize men’s sexist behavior just as men’s sexist behavior does not legitimize women sexist behavior.
You sound like an intelligent fellow. Break the cycle!
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON WHITE LIES BETWEEN PARTNERS?
11 Dec 2014 Leave a comment
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I have been dating someone for six months and I have caught him in a few lies. They’re not big lies but it makes me not trust or respect him. He says they are white lies and that all couples tell each other white lies to keep the peace but I consider them lies just the same. Your opinion?
–Waking up and Smelling the Coffee (United States)
DEAR WAKING UP:
The strongest relationships are based on truth. It’s possible to tell the truth tactfully and diplomatically while communicating what needs to be said.

HOW TO BALANCE HORMONES AND PROLONG FERTILITY?

in Health Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, fertility, hormones, menopause, perimenopause, spiritual advice column
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I’m in my early forties and might be getting signs of early menopause. I have been very emotional the past 15 months though I put this down to emotional release through healing—I live in Brazil and get healing from John of God. I cry at the silliest thing and an annoying thought can spiral me into an internal emotional drama for the remainder of the day.
I have also periods every three weeks now, sometimes twice a month (before it was every 28 days).
Do you think it could be early menopause? Or is some of it healing related (physically and emotionally)? I know nothing about how to balance my hormones…
Also, is there any way my fertility can be prolonged? (I want to have a child in the not so distant future if possible). Thank you for helping.
– Completely Clueless (Brazil)
DEAR COMPLETELY:
Probably the first thing you might want to do is consult your doctor and get an exam and possibly a blood-chemistry test so that he/she can look at your hormone levels and make sure nothing else is going on. Once you do that, if you like, I can point you in the direction of some websites that can give you information on alternative treatments based on your blood-chemistry results. I don’t want to recommend phytoestrogens or anything like that because they might be contraindicated for you, depending on what all is going on.
Irregular periods and mood swings can certainly be signs of perimenopause, but your doctor can give you a better idea from your blood tests. The emotional sensitivity can be part of your growth period from being down in Brazil and getting healings over as well in terms of releasing energy and shifting your vibration. Some of your physical symptoms could be a result of the energy work you’ve been doing as well since sometimes healings cause occasionally exacerbate existing symptoms.
And since you’re down in Brazil, perhaps you could ask for healings on hormone balance and fertility as well as finding the right person to have a child with if you haven’t already.
As far as the energetic aspects of your questions, here are some things to consider. Hormone imbalances are related to the need to balance the male and female energies that run within each person. For example, when we need more female hormones for an optimal balance, that can correspond to either/both needing to expand our energetic receptiveness/havingness/passive creation energy (a more yin energy) with our active male creative energy (yang energy). Both energies are necessary for balanced hormones as well as in the conception of a child.
Here is a link that might be helpful: http://www.webmd.com/menopause/guide/guide-perimenopause. I also recommend you check out some of Dr. Christine Northrup’s books as well.
Feel free to write in again when you get your blood-test results from your doctor and perhaps I can give you more detailed suggestions at that point.

WHY DO I SEE STUFF WHEN I PICK UP AN OBJECT?

in Energy Techniques Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, practicing psychometry, psychic ability, psychometry, spiritual advice column
DEAR DALI MAMA:
Sometimes, when I pick up an object, I see flashes of pictures of people. Or excerpts like from a movie. What is happening?
–Nutters (England)
DEAR N.:
Perhaps you have the gift of psychometry, a type of psychic ability where you can pick up energies held in or related to an object. So maybe you get flashes of people that owned or touched that object. Play with it and see what happens! You can practice by having different people hand you a bunch of objects. Try to make it a blind test. For example, maybe you could ask a friend to collect one object from different people that you’ve never met and see if you can get any hits. Write down or record all of your perceptions or feelings and then ask for feedback from the person who lent you the object. Don’t be discouraged if you’re not right all the time. Psychometry, like any gift, can be developed and honed over time.
WHY DO MY RELATIONSHIPS NEVER LAST?

in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, dates, dating, karmic agreements, pheromones, spiritual advice column, why do women disappear on me
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I have been on so many dates—women I’ve met online, through friends, at the grocery store, whatever. It always goes only so far—maybe a few dates, maybe two months at the most, but they all disappear suddenly, often without any explanation. How do I figure out what went wrong? I pay for the coffee, the lunch, the dinner, whatever. I act like a gentleman. Is it something wrong with me? How do I find out why nothing ever lasts?
–Throwing in the Towel (United States)
DEAR THROWING:
Please don’t throw in the towel just yet, my friend. It sounds like you’re a good guy and, believe me, I’m sure there are many women out there looking for a guy like you.
Sometimes people (especially women, because sometimes they’re trained culturally to avoid confrontation or anything that could be unpleasant) may just get a sense it’s not a good match for them and would rather disappear or fade quietly into the background rather than speak up, which makes it hard for the other person who might be left wondering what went wrong.
Don’t take it personally. Meeting the “right” person takes time and experimentation. Sometimes I think it even just boils down to pheromones. Pheromones and karmic agreements. Because your pheromones don’t match someone’s else’s biological coding, that doesn’t mean there’s necessarily anything wrong with you. It’s just not a good match for whatever reason. Likewise, maybe a person mocked up having a relationship where they could learn certain types of lessons and you’re not the best match for each other that way, although of course that doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with either of you.
By all means, ask for some feedback from your female friends and see if they have any pointers for you but ultimately do whatever feels right to you. And maybe experiment against type. If you’ve always gone for a certain type of women, try hanging out and going out on a date with another type of women and see if anything clicks.
Keep heart, my friend. Someone’s looking for you.
IS THERE AN ENERGETIC COMPONENT TO MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS?

in Health Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, energy of MS, MS, multiple sclerosis, spiritual advice column
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I have MS (multiple sclerosis). Is there an energetic component to multiple sclerosis I should be aware of?
–Wanting to Heal Myself (Brazil)
DEAR WANTING TO HEAL:
All diseases related to the immune system bring with them lessons on the importance of honoring and loving yourself. Perhaps you could practice doing things to honor and love yourself. Notice where you consistently put others’ needs before your own; for example, taking on volunteer work or helping out a friend (in a non-emergency situation) when you are already exhausted or feel like you’re fighting a cold. Start a new habit of consciously attending to your needs and treating your body and yourself as well as you would your child or your best friend.
Your determination to heal yourself and to look at the energy of MS is a wonderful step on your path to more optimal health. Congratulations.
HOW DO I DEAL WITH A STALKING EX?

in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, how to handle a stalker, spiritual advice column, stalker
DEAR DALI MAMA:
My ex-boyfriend has been stalking me for years. I tried to be nice and I have been very clear. Now I am dating someone new. How do I handle all of this? I am afraid my stalker will scare my new boyfriend away. My ex isn’t dangerous but I feel I should warn my boyfriend all the same.
–Stalked (United States)
DEAR STALKED:
Keep logs of all contact and stalking attempts and emails and texts–all of it, complete with dates and documentation. Also make sure (if you haven’t already) to unfriend him on Facebook or block his number and emails. Also file a police report immediately and get a restraining order. Don’t assume your ex isn’t dangerous. If he has been stalking you for years, he obviously does not have healthy/sane boundaries and you never know how the new boyfriend factor might inflame him. It is important to let your current boyfriend know about the situation and give him a photo of your ex so he knows what he looks like and whom to watch out for. If he gets scared off, he’s not the one anyway. If he’s the right person for you, he’ll stick around.
Don’t worry about being nice. The time for niceness is over. You may have compassion for him, but don’t worry about hurting his feelings or being hated by him. You need to make your safety (and your boyfriend’s) a priority.
HOW DO I STOP THINKING ABOUT AN OLD LOVE?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I can’t stop thinking about a man I dated (only briefly years ago). How do I stop this unhealthy behavior?
–Heartbroken (Brazil)
DEAR HEARTBROKEN:
It’s great that you recognize continuing to think about this man is not healthy for you. Validate the time you had together and let that be enough as the gift it was. Give thanks for the experiences you had together and for what you each learned from each other, then make room for someone new to come into your life.
If you want, I also encourage you to get rid of any old photos of him or momentos of your time together to make room for new romance and love.
Maybe you could even join some singles clubs or host a singles party or something and get the word out to your friends you’re ready to meet someone new in case they know someone you might hit it off with. Whether you hit it off romantically or not, it can be a lot of fun to make new friends and meet new people.

WHY DO SOME ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND ANIMAL-RIGHTS ADVOCATES HAVE THE WORST PEOPLE SKILLS EVER?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Why do some environmentalists and animal-rights advocates have the worst people skills ever?
–Just Wondering (United States)
DEAR JUST WONDERING:
Well, I know many environmentalists and animal-rights folk who are just delightful but let me say this…sometimes it’s a lot easier to allow yourself to care about the earth or for animals because they tend not be easier to get along with than people.
If you want, just validate that we’re all one and the same and thank these light warriors as spirit for doing the good work they’re doing even if they can be a little rough around the edges. The ability to speak strongly and forcefully and to get their opinions heard might even require some in-your-face people skills once in a while. Validate that their hearts are probably in the right place and that they’re putting their energy to great causes.
IS IT SAFE TO PLAY WITH OUJA BOARDS?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Do you think it is safe to play with ouja boards?
–Scared (Canada)
DEAR SCARED:
I would probably not recommend playing with ouja boards. I have known some very strange things to happen to people who were using them, including accidentally bringing in negative energies because they didn’t know how to hold the energetic space.
If you absolutely feel the need to contact a spirit (for example, someone who has passed on like a mother or a grandmother), I would recommend you go to see a trustworthy medium such as Rosemerry the Celtic Lady or John Edward or James Van Praagh. They have been doing the work a long time and have more practice and awareness about the energies they are communicating with, as well as how to keep their energy clean and safe while communicating with various spirits.
IS IT WEIRD TO INVITE DINERS YOU DON’T KNOW TO JOIN YOUR TABLE?
23 Oct 2014 1 Comment
in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, asking someone to join your table at a restaurant, dali mama, eating alone at a restaurant, restaurant, spiritual advice column
DEAR DALI MAMA:
Is it weird when sitting alone at a restaurant to invite other solo diners to join you? Not as a romantic overture, but just to sit with someone during a meal. What do you think?
–Curious (United States)
DEAR CURIOUS:
I don’t think it’s weird but you might just want to pay attention to whether the person you’re asking seems like they want to be alone or not. You can always offer to let them join you, especially if the restaurant is full and someone would have to wait for a table, and don’t take it personally if they say no. Sometimes people just want to chill out and be by themselves while they’re eating.
If you’re a man, be aware, too, that sometimes people might be wary you’re making a romantic overture even when you’re not.
If you like eating with others, you might want to check out those restaurants that are becoming more and more popular where they have a communal table (or tables) with a bunch of seats and people can just sit down. Or you can try to sit at a sushi bar or a diner counter or something where there are just a bunch of stools and you can start up a conversation with the person next to you if they seem open to it.
Have fun eating and meeting people.
