DEAR DALI MAMA:
I used to be a very capable, bright, talented, high-achieving person. Then life happened! So I wanna ask: How do you get your motivation/joie de vivre/get up and go/your drive and pizzazz back, when life has kicked it out of you over a prolonged period of unbearable hardship? The rollercoaster of horror is over now and life and I are a zillion times better–THANK GOD–but I want the old fiery me back. I miss her….
Everything I used to touch would turn to gold–big or small. I want to be able to manifest things like I used to–in a nano-second. I don’t mean in a spiritual sense–wish or ask for something and it manifests. I mean through my hard work, which used to be as fun, enjoyable and effortless as child’s play. Now what used to be spontaneously done without a second thought feels like an obligation or heavy chore. Procrastination is where I’m at.
I’m getting worked on by the Entities of Light and Love that work through John of God in Brazil. This is helping immeasurably and they’ve cleaned me up good and proper from depression, etc. They’ve been my savior–for want of a less evangelical word.
Any ideas on how I can help this situation along? Gain momentum and get me, myself, and I back–in all her glory…. I feel the need to achieve big in life again!! Thank you.
–Me, Myself and I (Brazil)
DEAR ME, MYSELF, AND I:
First of all, validate that you still are a very capable, bright, talented, high-achieving person. The joy is still in you as well, even if sometimes it gets a little buried under other stuff.
You are lucky to be getting healings through John of God from the Entities of Light and Love. Sometimes when you’re getting massive healings such as at the Casa in Brazil, in the process of dumping a lot of old energies that no longer serve you, it may temporarily seem even more overwhelming to get things done but remember, it’s just temporary.
Enjoy exactly where you’re at and don’t try to be anywhere but where you are for the moment. If you try to go back to the old joy and the old ways, it creates a form of resistance/effort. Perfectionism is also a form of resistance, as is procrastination. The more you can just be and take little steps towards your dreams, embracing the joy of the present moment, the more you will be able to produce and achieve. Play with this process and play with what manifesting looks like from your new state of being.
I suspect you will be able achieve even more, as well as to resonate in joy as you immerse yourself in the divine flow.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
How do I change my negative thinking patterns?
–Negative Nellie (United States)
DEAR N.N.:
Well, by asking this question, I’d say you’ve already done the most important thing. You became aware of existing negative-thinking patterns and did something with conscious effort to change—you wrote in with this question!
The next step is an ongoing process. Notice whenever a negative thought pops into your mind and then transform it into a manageable, positive thought. For example, if you look around at clutter around you and think, “I can never organize my house,” you could perhaps instead think, “I am going to throw away any dried-up pens from my desk,” thereby breaking up what seems an impossible goal into smaller manageable tasks and validating what you accomplished.
This is something you can do with any type of negative thoughts. I congratulate you on making this important change in your life.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Hi. I just read your post on jealousy (from July 29, 2014) and it makes for interesting reading as I’m into a guy who loves big, curvy butts on women. He keeps talking about his love affair with big J.Lo-type butts…! I have a fairly flat, non-existent butt which I have never had an issue with before but with him I now feel a little insecure—what if my butt’s not sexy enough for him to find me attractive when the clothes come off…
Don’t think it’s a past life dynamic. But it makes me feel not good enough physically. What to do?
—Buttless (Ireland)
DEAR BUTTLESS:
Love your butt and, for that matter, your whole body exactly how it is. When you feel sexy, you are sexy.
Sometimes people may make comments like that to bring up insecurity in someone so they may have a better chance with him/her or to gauge if they have a chance with them if they get jealous. Sometimes people make comments like that because they’re just saying whatever pops into their head.
If he is not satisfied with you because you don’t have a bigger butt, he doesn’t deserve to be with your butt and you can make room for someone who appreciates your butt and all of you exactly how you are.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Why am I sometimes so klutzy and sometimes not? It’s weird.
–Semi-Klutz (United States)
DEAR SEMI:
Consult with your doctor and make sure there isn’t a medical cause for this.
Barring any medical issues, sometimes we can be very grounded and graceful—fully inhabiting our body, present in the moment on the physical plane, etc. Sometimes we can float around, mostly out of our body, which is when limbs tend to go akimbo and cracks in the sidewalk appear under our feet, and we start stumbling over things.
The more you can focus on being grounded and fully in your body, the less klutzy you will be.
Play with that and see!

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I have been going out with a new guy for 9 months. Sometimes I get so jealous, I feel a little crazy. What is going on? I’m not usually a jealous girl.
–Borderline (United States)
DEAR BORDERLINE:
In this particular situation, it looks like there are some past-life dynamics going on. However, it is also an opportunity for you to work through the triggers that make you jealous and to release any areas of insecurity about yourself.
Start by paying attention to insecurities you have about yourself, or any ideas that you are not enough for whatever reason. For example, if you get jealous when you see someone who is vivacious and charming, notice if you are not allowing your inner sparkle and sense of humor to show. Then consciously start allowing yourself to show more of your own charm and sparkle without feeling like you are competing with anyone else. It is not about anyone else—it is more about how you feel about yourself.
Play with this and see what happens as you release any insecurities and let more and more of your inner light to shine.
NOTE TO READERS: I am offering my annual Celebrate Life special now. It is US$75 for 30 minutes or US$150 for an hour for an intuitive reading, a healing, or a combination of the two. (It is normally US$125 for 30 minutes or US$250 for an hour.) Of course, if you have just a quick question, you can always write it in to Dali Mama at no cost. I also offer free long-distance group healings the first Sunday of each month, in which case you’d email me with “FREE GROUP HEALING” in the subject line with your name, address, and healing requests. Email holdinglightproductions@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment or check out www.holdinglightproductions.com to find out more about my work.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I’m on all these PTA committees and church committees and other charity and community organizations. I’ve been volunteering for years. Lately, however, I’ve lost interest in all these activities and am feeling cross about any and all of it. What is going on?
–Becoming a Curmudgeon (United States)
DEAR BECOMING:
Honor your feelings. Either take a sabbatical from all of your volunteer responsibilities or quit them entirely. It sounds like you need to get more in balance, spending time on yourself and your passions and hobbies instead of having all of your energy going outwards to everyone else.
Doing this will help keep you healthy and in balance, and make you even better at whatever activities you decide to volunteer with in the future, should you decide to return to any of your previous commitments. It will also create space for you to do what you want and that might end up helping even more people in an even more effective way.
Give yourself a chance to do what you want and see what happens to your perspectives and interest. You might find this leads you in a whole different direction full of new adventures and delights.
NOTE TO READERS: I invite you to write in with your own questions either in the comments section or by emailing askdalimama@gmail.com.

Our house has been on the market 2+ months. Few visitors. We have grounded the house, removed crystals, painted, recarpeted. What is the energy, reason the house is not selling?
–Lisa (United States)
DEAR LISA:
One of the reasons is that it is an intense time on the planet and in the United States to put a house on the market.
Also be aware of any urge or need to keep upping the vibration of the house, or to keep trying to improve the energy. What can end up happening is that more you do that, the harder it is for people to come in and look at the home, much less to buy it.
Another thing you can do is release any effort and control energy and old mockups/intentions for the house, and to reset the energy of the house to ease and an invitation for fun or whatever the new owners would like, and to create energetic space for whoever is the right match for the house. If you want, release any restrictions on who that right match is what kind of people they will be, and allow the universe to match the house with its right people.
Have fun playing with the energy.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I am a single 40-year-old woman. I am considering artificial insemination. Is there anything I should be aware of energetically in this process?
–Curious (Canada)
DEAR CURIOUS:
I would suggest first thinking about what kind of child you would like, what kind of relationship with your child you would like, and what kind of child you could best be a mother to (what you can teach your child and what your child can teach you, for example).
After that, as you’re considering the various potential sperm donors (whether you know them personally or not), use your intuition and gut feeling when you’re choosing the donor, rather than going strictly by what’s written down on paper (sperm donor is a professional, or a scholar, or whatever). Let your heart and your spirit guide you based on the intention you’ve created, rather than letting your mind make the decision based on what it thinks or what’s on paper.
If your heart is set on this path, by all means follow your heart. Blessings on your journey.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I belong to a book club and just love all of the people in there, except for one woman, who drives me crazy. She always goes on and on about her opinions, which are really not that interesting or original. She is also very much in her head when discussing the books and misses the whole point of different characters’ actions and scenes, etc. Sometimes I don’t even want to go to the book club, but that’d probably be stupid because I generally have a really good time except for listening to this one lady. What do you think?
–Almost Fed up (United States)
DEAR ALMOST FED UP:
This might be a great opportunity to practice being able to enjoy what you love no matter what else happens or who else is there. Whether it’s a book club or a movie or a friendship, just validate and enjoy the parts you love and see how that starts to increase your enjoyment of everything.
If you like, it might be a good chance as well to look at your matches with the woman who annoys you. Often, when someone really bugs us, it’s because we have within ourselves a similar energy that we don’t like in ourselves. For example, you mentioned she’s very much in her head and sometimes misses the bigger picture in a book. Do you feel like you ever get in your head and miss the bigger picture? Or do you have some other match to her? Use this opportunity to release or transform any old energies in you that no longer resonate with who you are today.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I am a very sensitive person. When I’m around family or friends or even people I don’t know very well, I often feel what they’re feeling. When they’re not feeling happy, I start feeling anxious, like maybe it’s my fault or that I did something or said something to make them feel that way. Do you have any advice for me?
–Easily Anxious (United States)
DEAR EASILY ANXIOUS:
You’re not alone. That is very common for sensitive people.
I suggest you start training yourself to focus on how you feel. This is hard for sensitive people, particularly for clairsentients who can often feel in their body how others are feeling.
Also, keep in mind that people often have feelings (insecurity, invalidation, anger, pain, etc.) that have nothing to do with you. Give them space to feel whatever they’re feeling and just pay attention to how you feel and do whatever you need to in order to keep your spirits up. This will model behavior that will ultimately help others as well.
I wish you much ease.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I feel like I have the worst luck in the world. Is it possible I am cursed?
–Psyching Myself Out (United States)
DEAR PSYCHING MYSELF OUT:
Sometimes we can experience a difficult thing and we start to dread and resist similar difficulties, which can actually attract more of the same. The more we dread something, the more we can create something. And the more we create difficult situations, the more we can come to believe that is our norm.
I suggest you play with creating positive expectations and create structures to bring in positive events and people into your life. For example, when you wake up in the morning, imagine something fun happening. Or when you meet someone new, smile and expect the best, even if it’s a one-second loving spirit connection with a fellow human being. Try this and notice and positive changes that you see over time.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Sometimes I date different men and get really turned off by the smell of some of them but it’s not even like they have body odor. What is the cause of this?
–Sensitive Smeller (Brazil)
DEAR SS:
You are likely responding to the pheromones of the men. If they’re not a good biochemical match for you, their pheromones won’t smell good to you. You’re right—it does not have anything to do with body odor. They’re likely just not the right match for you.
The other possibility is that you’re someone that smells energy. Some people see energy or feel energy. Some people know stuff or hear psychic messages. And some people can smell energy. They might smell someone whose energy is coming around them. For example, maybe they’d smell their grandmother’s perfume when their grandmother’s spirit comes to visit them. They might smell lovely smells when lovely energy comes around. Or they might smell disagreeable odors when energy they don’t resonate with is around.
Or it might be a combination of pheromones and smelling energy. Play with this and see which it is for you. And trust yourself. Your nose knows. Ha ha.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Lately I’ve been so tired and don’t feel like doing anything. What should I do?
–Listless (United States)
DEAR LISTLESS:
Give yourself a little time to feel this way but be sure to eat healthily and at least go for a short leisurely walk each day. Also, try to avoid excess processed foods and sugar as this can cause feelings of tiredness.
If it continues for more than a couple weeks, see your doctor and also a counselor. You could be experiencing depression.
Sometimes, though, we need a little time every now and again to do nothing and to go within. This may look like depression from an outside perspective, but what is sometimes happening is that we are disengaging from the outside world in order to let go of old templates and mine the best parts of ourselves from the inside out.
Wishing you the best.

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I have had the same group of friends for decades and find myself growing weary but don’t know how to exit these friendships gracefully. What do you advise?
–Loyal friend (Canada)
DEAR LOYAL FRIEND:
Well, first of all, you might want to notice what it is about these old friendships you’re weary of. Is it the kinds of things you do with them? The energy that these old friends are sitting in? The way you are or are perceived when you’re with them? Notice what you notice and start to change within yourself the energies you’re weary of.
Next, reach out to new people and groups you feel you resonate with more and challenge yourself to do whatever is exciting and new to you.
As you change, you might be able to relate to these friends in a fresh and fun way rather than exiting these friendships permanently. Perhaps you could start seeing less of them to make space for new relationships and your own growth, but give the old relationships room and permission to evolve as you do. You might be surprised how some of your old friends step up to the new you as you change.
