Today we have a very special gift. I asked healer and award-winning musician John Saxon to do a group piano reading specifically for us. A piano reading is like a psychic reading, but rather than receiving images to describe, John receives music that he then plays on the piano. It faithfully renders your deepest, truest self in piano music form, bringing your hidden gold to consciousness. Read more about his work at Http://www.pianoreadings.com. You can also email him at John.saxon@pianoreadings.com to find out more about his work or to commission a piano reading for you as an individual or for someone special.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LOVE SPELLS?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
What do you think about love spells and do they work?
–Wanting Love (Brazil)
DEAR WANTING LOVE:
Although love spells do work sometimes, I do not recommend them nor do I perform them for clients that come for energy work. Doing love spells can interfere with a person’s free will, pulling a person’s energy or influencing it in a way that I don’t believe is ethical. Also, doing a love spell on someone is, I believe, creating unwanted karma for yourself.
Instead of doing a love spell, perhaps you might want to ask the Universe to bring into your life the person who is of your divine right. Also, create the energy first for yourself of love and a loving relationship with yourself in order to create the optimal energy for a relationship that matches this love vibration to come into your life. And, of course, do the practical basics such as getting out into the world (even through the Internet on an online dating site if that feels right to you) where people can meet you and have the opportunity to fall in love with you.
Validate the love you have, including for yourself, and even more love will find you in divine time.
HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE ENERGY BODY?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
What are some really good ways to strengthen our energy bodies?
–T.A. (England)
Dear T.A.:
Strengthening your energy body is just as important as maintaining your physical body. There are many components of the energy body and many ways, but some basics for starters include grounding, running your energy, and doing things that help strengthen and integrate your physical and energy bodies (yoga, tai chi and qi gong, acupuncture, as just a few examples). (If you want some free meditations on how to ground and run your energy, please email holdinglightproductions@yahoo.com to request the free recordings and I will send them to you.)
Also, it’s very important to exercise your physical body as well. Some people that are interested in energy can sometimes focus all of their attention on their spirit or their energy bodies without providing proper exercise and movement for their physical bodies, but physical movement and care of the physical body (healthy nutrients and foods) are very important to the energy body as well.
Likewise, training your energy body can help with physical health and performance. That’s why it helps for athletes to imagine their energetic kinesthetic bodies training or going through a dance routine, or why it helps musicians if they practice on an “air piano” even when they’re not on a real piano, or why it helps someone who has been in an accident if they can imagine their bodies moving, practicing moving their energy bodies even when they cannot yet move their physical bodies. We are, after all, spirits in a physical plane.
Thanks for asking this important question.

CLARITY AROUND A FRIENDSHIP ENDING

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Today I just broke up a friendship. I moved to a small town in the Midwest and have been very careful when it came to friendships (as small towns always involve gossip) and I became close friends with someone that I knew did not have many friends in town, which I never understood because she is a nice person. After a while, it became hard for me to be friends with her, especially after I became close friends with other people who were not huge fans of her. It was hard for me to be neutral and in the middle of this “war” and I just wanted to avoid these things.
Tonight I mentioned to her how I felt pressure being friends with her as it was hard to stay in the middle of what was going on and being friends with both sides. The friendship ended and it was sad to have to “choose” a side. In one way, that was a relief, but what was hard was what she said about me as we were breaking up the friendship. I got upset about the comments she made about me, what she thought about me.
I would like to ask if that decision was right and also some comments about why I felt this way. Was it because of her judgment? Of her projecting things on me?
–A.T. (United States)
DEAR A.T.:
Perhaps this is an opportunity to practice feeling and knowing what is best for you and holding your space in complicated social groups. Human relationships are very complex when there are just two people, and even more so when you factor in a group of people.
If you were still enjoying hanging out with this former friend (other than feeling conflicted about other people not liking her), you might want to look at the peer pressure (energetic or otherwise, or even the pressure you put on yourself) to disengage from this person.
If you still enjoyed hanging out with her other than because of the outside energies, it could have been a good opportunity to practice holding your space and still loving her and hanging out with her and allowing others to have their own opinions while not having to take responsibility or to choose a side or heal this situation but, rather, simply enjoying being her friend and continuing to do so.
You might want to meditate on why what she said to you stings and lingers. Is there some truth to her comment? Or are you simply resisting her judgments of you? Or a little of both? Look at it and release what needs to go and this will help you have beautiful solid relationships with yourself and with others that are true soul friends.
Also, you might want to check out http://www.wanttoknow.info/070701imsorryiloveyoujoevitale and do the Hawaiian healing technique of ho’oponopono (see also http://www.hooponopono.org for information on Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona’s technique. Perhaps she is reflecting to you where you have abandoned parts of yourself to make others more comfortable with you. Doing this exercise will heal where you have rejected parts of yourself and abandoned parts of yourself and bring them into wholeness and love.
Thanks for having the courage to really look at this to discover your spirit’s truth about the situation. Wishing you much love and the joy of discovering more of yourself.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH CATS

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I liked your response yesterday to the person who was asking about how to communicate with dogs. I am a cat lover. Would you recommend the same thing for communicating with cats?
–Cat lover (United States)
DEAR CAT LOVER:
The techniques are basically the same for communicating with cats as with dogs, so you can use the techniques I mentioned in yesterday’s response. The main difference is that, when you’re communicating with cats, play with communicating and sending pictures more from your crown chakra (at the crown of your head) to their crown chakra (located at the crown of their head).
Also one interesting fact about cats is that they are excellent at holding space. Basically that means that they are very good at cleaning the energy of a space like a home or business and at holding the vibration of certain spaces.
Have fun communicating with your cat.
COMMUNICATING WITH MY DOG
18 Feb 2014 Leave a comment
DEAR DALI MAMA: I have seen animal communicators on TV. How do I communicate better with my dog?
–Not Versed in Doggie Language (Canada)
DEAR NOT VERSED:
Start practicing and do it all the time. You’ll get better over time and your dog will surely appreciate the effort. Trust the hits you get as far as communication your dog gives you.
Also, with dogs, it’s important to communicate from your heart and from the fourth chakra (center of the chest near the physical heart) as well as the fifth chakra (which is located in the throat). Also, practice communicating with mental pictures, not just with words. For example, if you’re trying to communicate to your dog you will be out of town for three nights and the dogsitter will come to the house, transmit from your mind a visual picture of you leaving with a suitcase, the dogsitter coming to the house and staying there, with the sun and moon for three cycles, then you driving up to the house and coming in and petting your dog.
Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the love vibration of communicating with your dog. Dogs are experts on love!

MOVING FORWARD AS A SPIRITUAL TEACHER
17 Feb 2014 Leave a comment
in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, leadership, modeling, spiritual advice column, spiritual teacher, teacher
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I am regarded by many people as a spiritual teacher. In fact, it appears to be my calling. But I do not promote myself as such because I feel that some authority, particularly my own teacher, must first confer the status of teacher upon me–give me the “go ahead”–for it to be valid. This process may not be required at all, as we do see lots of self-styled guru-types pop up everywhere. This idea does keep self-aggrandizing in check effectively, however. On the other hand, I also have to consider how much people do appreciate what I offer, as well as how much fear and doubt may play their roles, too, in holding me back. Fear and doubt are as full of ego as self-aggrandizement. I wonder what advice you would give someone in this situation?
–Robert (Turkey)
DEAR ROBERT:
You sound like a true teacher to me, as you have a strong and healthy balance of the recognition of what you can offer with the self-awareness that we all have more to learn.
Being a teacher means stepping up as a leader, and that means recognizing the inherent wisdom and experience that you can share with others. Also, moving forward as a teacher in your own right (without the need for validation and permission from anybody) is the greatest proof that your teacher did a great job.
Being a true teacher, you must also model for people what it looks like to own your knowingness and power from within. That is ultimately what a true leader and teacher must do, as those at the forefront are often not recognized (and are in fact sometimes spurned) for their beliefs when they are ahead of the curve from the general public, which leaders generally are.
Shine with all of your God-given light and gifts and share with joy all that you have to teach, by example as well as in any other venue.

Photographer Marcus Radcliffe from Australia travels around the world, doing photography of nature, landscape, and more. I call him the butterfly whisperer because of his beautiful connection with butterflies, the symbol of transformation. Marcus says, “This is what happens when I ask God if I can take pictures of butterflies. I say if I’m God and the butterfly’s God, then come land on this flower so I can take a picture and that’s exactly what’s happens. Even if the picture doesn’t come out clear, I tell it to come back so I can get the perfect picture and that’s the story. Happy days. Work’s a treat. Loving life. It works if you believe.”

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I really want to meet someone but have been single for a long time. How do a meet someone?
–Lonely (United States)
DEAR LONELY:
Start first by loving yourself and creating a life that you love. Focus on the love you have in your life—love of friends, family, etc.
Also think about what qualities you are looking for in an ideal relationship—both big picture and day-to-day details, and create space and energetically invite the right person in to show up for the relationship.
You also might want to make sure you go to places where you can meet people—clubs where you can meet people with common interests, volunteering, and just being out in the world where you can meet nice folks—friends and otherwise. Many people would really like to meet people but don’t actually go anywhere other than work and home where people can get to know them. Maybe also host some parties and you might meet people that come with friends or meet other people when you get invited to parties.
Know that you are love and you will meet the right person in divine timing.
BREAKING BAD HABITS

DEAR DALI MAMA:
How do you break a bad habit?
–Wondering (United States)
DEAR WONDERING:
Well, there are specific things according the specific type of bad habit, but I’ll just answer generally and you can ask another question about a specific habit if you want to.
With habits such as smoking or caffeine or sugar, for example, start with looking at the triggers that make you want to smoke or ingest caffeine or sugar. Smoking, caffeine, and sugar are all habits that pop you out of your body. Alcohol or drugs as well.
So when you’re starting to get in touch with the emotional or psychic pain you’re holding in your body, you may want to smoke or do other things to pop out of your body as a way to cope with the pain. Unfortunately, with habits like that, the pain is still in your body when you come back in, and so the energies you want to escape only get compounded.
So instead of reaching for a cigarette or other substance, notice the energies that make you want to pop out, sit with those energies a while and do any processing you need to, and give them space to eventually release.
Have fun ending any habits that don’t support your wellness and prosperity!
HOW TO COME OUT TO PARENTS AND WHY DO PEOPLE FREAK OUT ABOUT GAYS?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Why do people freak out about gays and how do I come out to my parents?
–Don’t Know What to Do (Australia)
Dear Don’t Know What to Do:
Sometimes people are frightened by what they cannot easily categorize or anything that is different from what they think to be the norm. Life–and people–is complex but trying to categorize and compartmentalize make some people feel like they have more control over any situation if they can put something or someone in a box—male, female, heterosexual, homosexual, black, white, Republican, Democrat, etc. In reality, however, there is a lot of overlap and nobody fits neatly into one specific box.
As far as coming out to your parents, you might want to enlist a friend you trust to give you moral support, whom you can talk to and who can be there for you after you have the talk with your parents. Then, when you talk to your parents, give them space to have whatever reaction they might have. They might even already know that you are gay. The important thing is to remember that you are a beautiful and courageous person no matter how anyone reacts to you and no matter whom you love and this is something to celebrate.

Congratulations for being true to who you are. Be proud!

DEAR DALI MAMA:
We are always told to follow our joy and heart. And sometimes people really give their dreams 110% and still there is no sense of success or accomplishment. At what point do you surrender and let go of the dream and passion? Or do you?
–Giving It My All and More (Canada)
DEAR GIVING IT MY ALL AND MORE:
Your dreams and your passion serve as a compass for your life’s work. Let those passions light your path, my friend. You are in good company—J.K. Rowling’s manuscripts were rejected countless times before the publication of her best-selling Harry Potter series. Judi Dench was told she would never be in the movies but not only has appeared and starred in numerous movies but she even has an Oscar. There are countless stories like these.
Notice, though, anytime your ego-mind tries to dictate what you should do and exactly what that should look like or how and when that should happen. If the ego-mind tries to take over, let your heart once again take the lead. And keep doing everything you need to do to succeed, step by step. Enjoy the process as that in itself is often much more important than the “end goal.”
Also, as Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, advises, “Be flexible on the details, but stay true to the ultimate vision you believe in.” (source: https://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20110608/23514814631/jeff-bezos-innovation-stubborn-vision-flexible-details.shtml) This will allow you to create what you want while opening to receive something even more amazing in astounding ways.
Follow your passions with awareness of your working patterns and your path. Notice the energies in which you work towards your goals. Do you have any self-limiting fears? If so, address those limits by taking practical steps to work around any potential obstacles and let go of the energy of the fear or the limits. Are there things you don’t like or are not good at that you can ask someone else to do? For example, if you’re a wonderful artist but are terrible at marketing your work, perhaps it’s time to look for an agent or a gallery to represent you, or to read a book or take a class on tips for selling your work, or perhaps time to explore and experiment with other media for your artistic talent.
Finally, set the energy of your work for you to enjoy each and every step, no matter the outcome. This often creates more space for what you’re creating to manifest and helps the energy flow more smoothly to allow miracles and support from the universe. Play and create from that space of joy and passion and see what happens. I believe in you. Keep me posted!

DEAR DALI MAMA:
What is the meaning of life?
—G.M. (Ireland)
DEAR G.M.:
That is a huge question that humankind has pondered forever and infinite tomes have been written on the topic. I will bravely do my best to answer what it means to me in a few paragraphs, however.
I believe that this planet offers us extraordinary opportunities to learn certain lessons in our life. We may specialize in certain areas (like learning how to express ourselves, learning how to manifest, etc.) but there are certain lessons many of us are learning common to humankind.
For me, life offers us learning opportunities, a chance to, over and over again, become more of who we are as children of God, in all our divine glory, love, wholeness, beauty, and power. One of these greatest lessons is love—the understanding that we are all one and that we can create so much more with love than we can when we try to create out of fear or separation. Love is one of the greatest lessons, one of the greatest teachers, and ultimately, I believe, the meaning of life—to learn how to love truly, including loving ourselves, and to understand that we are all love and to learn how to be love amidst all the distractions and illusions of the world.
As always, I welcome any comments from anyone. I would love to hear what life means to all of you. And, of course, I welcome any questions on any topic, which you can send in the comment section or email to askdalimama@gmail.com.
USE OF THE TERM “PARTNER”

DEAR DALI MAMA:
I have come across a few couples that have been together for years that I thought were husband and wife, but when I asked, “Oh, are you so-and-so’s husband?,” they reply, “Well, I’m her partner.” What does that mean? Why do you think some people do not refer to themselves as husband and wife?
–Curious Girl (United States)
DEAR CURIOUS GIRL:
In hetero couples, some common reasons include:
1) Some people don’t like the roles or stereotypes or energy associated with the term “husband” or “wife,” so they choose to use more neutral terms such as partner, which connotes total equality and also may imply that a relationship is a true partnership on all levels rather than anybody’s version of what that means.
2) Sometimes people avoid using the terms “husband” and “wife” for legal reasons. If it is important for them to remain separate entities legally, those terms may imply a common-law marriage, which they may not want even if they’re been together a long time.
3) It beats calling your person “Sugar Daddy” and “Snooky Babe.” Ha ha.
Thank you for your question, Curious Girl.
RELEASING THE ENERGY OF CLUTTER

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Do you have any energetic tips on how to get rid of clutter?
–Borderline Hoarder (United States)
DEAR BORDERLINE HOARDER:
You’re taking the first step, asking about how to get rid of clutter, which is great.
For the next step, ground the energy of your home and all the objects in your home. You can do this by imagining a big grounding cord going from the foundation of your home, draining any energy that is not yours and no longer for your highest good into the center of the earth, where that energy will be neutralized.
Sometimes, the energy in each object makes it difficult to part with, whether that’s the energy of the person who gave it to you with love, the love itself in the object, or the energy of lack or guilt that makes it hard to get rid of. For example, “Oh, I spent so much on this that I shouldn’t get rid of it” or “Oh that person will feel bad if I give this away.” As you’re getting rid of each object, you can validate it for what it did for you, then release it to go make someone else happy in the world.
Also, notice what each object you have difficulty letting go of represents to you. If it represents the love from the giver of that object, have that love inside of you and let its physical representation go. You have that love always and you don’t need the object itself anymore.
Have fun making space for yourself and creating a home that supports you and provides you with peace and ease.
