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?

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.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME AND MY COMPULSIONS?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Whenever I have to leave the house, I wonder if I locked the door and I have to go back and check. Or sometimes it’s the stove. Or sometimes I wonder if the house will catch on fire and my cats will be stuck in the house.
–What’s Wrong with Me? (United States)
DEAR WHAT’S WRONG?:
This is actually fairly common. You might want to consult your doctor, though, and see if you might have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or something else. Perhaps you could meditate, too.
Also notice if you feel like certain areas of your life are out of control (work, relationship, health, etc.) and notice if you are trying to compensate and gain control in your life by keeping on top of other things like the door being locked.
Take this opportunity to take healthy steps to have control in areas you can control. For example, if you are worried about money, set up a budget and a plan to build up your finances. Congratulations on these changes you’re making.
WHY CAN’T I LET MY OLD HOBBY GO?

in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, grounding, hobbies, spiritual advice column, stamp collecting
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I’ve been collecting stamps for years. I used to love it but now it feels like a chore but I can’t seem to stop. What is causing this and why can’t I let this hobby go?
–Stumped (not Stamped) (United States)
DEAR STUMPED:
Maybe you’ve just outgrown that hobby. If you no longer love it, maybe you could put it aside for a while. Later on, you can either sell it, give it away to someone who will surely love it and keep growing it, donate it, or take it up again if the fun of collecting them returns. If it feels like an obligation to keep it going, either reset the energy for your own fun or give it a break and give yourself permission to take up a new hobby.
Another reason it might be hard to give up is if you are using it to ground yourself, to perhaps release some nervous energy, in which you might want to do some other grounding things like hiking or gardening or whatever else is enjoyable to you.
Perhaps it feels a little scary to let this old hobby go because it’s become so familiar and perhaps even a part of your identity. This is an exciting time to see what other things you enjoy. Have fun!

WHAT IS CAUSING MY APATHY?
18 Oct 2014 3 Comments
in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, apathetic, apathy, ask dali mama, dali mama, motivation, resistance, spiritual advice column
DEAR DALI MAMA:
Lately I’ve been feeling very apathetic. I can’t get anything done—housework, or much else. I am not as productive at work lately. I’m not particularly tired. I just don’t feel like doing anything. What could be causing this?
–Slacker (Untied States)
DEAR S.:
Sometimes when our energy is shifting, it can sometimes feel like everything is stagnant and the energy is not moving. Examples of when energy is shifting include when we’re going to make a career change or some other kind of major life change.
Also, apathy is actually a form of energetic resistance. Just let yourself be apathetic for a while and see if the energy shifts more quickly when you give it space to be.
Also, I encourage you to let yourself imagine what really makes you excited. A new hobby, a class to take, travelling to a place you’ve always wanted to go, or whatever really gets your juices flowing. And give yourself permission to explore this new thing, whatever it is.
NOTE TO READERS: I invite you to send your own questions in, either via the comments section or to askdalimama@gmail.com. Also, I might be taking days off now and then the rest of the year as I finish up some projects in the works. Sorry the blog has been a bit sporadic lately.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHITE LIES?
08 Oct 2014 Leave a comment
in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, dali mama, honesty, spiritual advice column, tact, white lies
DEAR DALI MAMA:
What do you think of white lies, like saying you like someone’s cooking if you don’t really? Energetically and otherwise….
–Curious (Canada)
DEAR CURIOUS:
It’s always best to be honest, energetically and otherwise. Honest doesn’t mean you have to say “You are the worst cook I’ve ever met,” but you can be honest while choosing something positive to say. For example, you could say, “I really appreciate the time and effort you took in preparing this meal for me” or “I like the salad greens you used in the salad.” And next time, you could suggest going out or you could make a dish to share so you have something to eat that you like and you could ask them, for example, to get those yummy salad greens they got last time.
Besides which, if you say a white lie, like, “I love these brownies,” the person might be really happy and, thinking you like them, go to a lot of trouble and expense to keep making them for you, which does neither of you any good.
IS IT OK TO HAVE SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE WHEN YOUR PARTNER NO LONGER WISHES TO HAVE SEX?

in Love & Relationships, Sex Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, counseling, dali mama, honesty in marriage, is it ok to have outside of a sexless marriage, medical issues, sexless marriage, sexless relationship, sexual compatibility, sexual ethics, spiritual advice column
DEAR DALI MAMA:
I am married to a woman who no longer wants to have sex at all. It’s been almost a year. The last time was on our anniversary. Do you think it’s ok for me to have sex with other people under these circumstances? I wouldn’t tell her because it would hurt her feelings but I also feel it’s hurting me to go without sex when she has zero interest.
–Basically a Good Guy (United States)
DEAR BASICALLY:
That is a difficult situation. I suggest that your wife see her doctor to see if there is some underlying medical issue (or some issue from her past) causing her to not want to have sex anymore and that the two of you see a marriage counselor and that both of you might want to see a counselor individually as well to get to the root cause of why she does not want to have sex. This might be emotionally painful at first, but necessary in order for the healing and true change to begin.
Then, after doing everything you can to resurrect your sexual connection, including perhaps taking a tantric workshop together, you both can make an informed decision that is best for you individually and as a couple.
Once you have each tried all you can to salvage and nurture your sexual and general relationship, at that point, you can make a decision together as far as what will work for both of you.
Even though it must be both frustrating and difficult to be in a marriage where your partner does not want to have sex, I would advise you to keep other people out of your marriage even under these challenging circumstances. A lie of omission is still a lie and seeing other people without your wife’s knowledge would introduce deception into the marriage, which is not a good energy for any healthy relationship.
Once you’ve had counseling together and addressed any potential medical issues and tried everything you can to address the cause of the lack of sex, then you and your wife can make a plan together—to concertedly improve the sexual relationship between the two of you (having sex, for starters), for her to possibly consider participating in giving you some kind of sexual relief (manually perhaps) to foster some kind of sexual connection between the two of you even if she does not wish to have actual intercourse, for her to give you permission to have your sexual needs met elsewhere if she does not want to engage with you that way, or for both of you to go your separate ways and find people more sexually compatible.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO MAKE THINGS BREAK?

in Uncategorized Tags: advice column, ask dali mama, breaking computers, breaking watches, dali mama, personal energy fields, spiritual advice column, watches
DEAR DALI MAMA:
Is it possible for a person to make things break? Whenever I touch computers, something seems to go wrong with them. Often small things but sometimes big, expensive, irreparable things as well. Am I crazy or could I be the one affecting this equipment?
–Seeming Destroyer of Computers (United States)
DEAR SEEMING:
Funny you should ask. I experience the same thing. Interestingly, I don’t destroy Macs, only PCs. I also used to destroy hot/cold water dispensers and batteries in my healing room until I changed the way I set the energy when I did healings. If you’ve been having trouble with PCs, I suggest you give Apple a try if you haven’t already. For some reason, Macs seem more stable with certain energies, at least for me and some others I know.
I also recommend the extended warranties on any computer you purchase. Oh, and don’t ever go near your friends’ computers if you want to stay in their good graces. Ha ha.
And I know one woman that instantly destroys all watches she comes into contact with (both digital and analog). She has decided to go watchless after breaking enough watches to accessorize troops of time-conscious octopi with places to be, usually within 10 minutes of putting them on her wrist.
Sometimes people’s energy is simply not compatible with certain kinds of machinery. Sometimes, too, there are trance medium energies that can affect machinery as well, including computers. But that’s a whole different subject.
Try switching to Macs and write again if you are still having computer issues.

IS IT A MISTAKE TO LIVE TOGETHER BEFORE MARRIAGE?

DEAR DALI MAMA:
My boyfriend and I are going to move in together but my mother thinks it’s a mistake because “who wants to buy the cow when they can get the milk for free?” What do you think?
–Am I Making a Mistake? (United States)
DEAR AM I:
Are you a cow? If so, you’re an extremely literate bovine to be able to write such a clear and concise email. Ha ha.
I say you should do what is right for you. While some people think it’s a mistake to live together before marriage (I’m guessing your mother is worried your guy won’t want to commit if you’re living together), some might consider it a mistake to pledge one’s life and loyalty to someone they’re not sure they can get along with day in and day out over extended periods of time.
Follow your heart, my friend.
NOTE TO READERS: I do free healings the first Sunday of each month. If you would like a free healing that day, email your healing request (with “free group healing” in the subject line) with your name and up to three healing requests to holdinglightproductions@yahoo.com. You may do this every month as many times as you like. I also invite you to send in your own questions to askdalimama@gmail.com.
