Archangel Chamuel: Patron Angel of Peace and Calmness
Archangel Chamuel is a protector for the earth from lower bound energies. I call upon Chamuel when I need help for peace and tranquility in my life or in the world. Chamuel can also help with career transitions or if you’re seeking a spiritual soul mate relationship.

The truth of who you really are is often hiding in plain sight. The cosmic clues are really everywhere: in music, books, paintings, movies, poems, songs, plays, sculpture, photographs, etc. Your very best clues to this profound wisdom, however, are sometimes hidden in the unlikeliest of places.

Be in a place where you can be alone. Begin by taking three deep cleansing breaths in through your nose, and exhaling slowly and firmly through your mouth. You may consider saying to yourself something along the lines of “Breathing in the breath of Life and breathing out all stress and tension. Breathing in healing and breathing out disease. Breathing in light and breathing out any stuck emotions.”

Many have heard of Feng Shui and scoffed at it, thinking it is a rigorous discipline and not understanding what it truly is: guidelines to happier and healthier living. Feng Shui is the basic principle that arrangement, color schemes, and clutter in the home can affect the way you live. Your career, health, creativity, reputation, relationships, prosperity, and studies can all be affected by Feng Shui. These aspects of your life are all sections on the Feng Shui map, or bagua. The bagua can be overlaid onto the blue print of a home, designating specific rooms as sections on the map. The bagua can be used to map out sections in individual rooms as well. For example, the Family section is the middle left section on the bagua, which is the kitchen in my house. It is also the middle left section in my bedroom, which is my closet, and the middle left section in my sister’s room and so on and so forth.

It is 1989, I’m going through a terrible divorce with two toddlers, I’ve just been through the San Francisco earthquake, right in the middle of the city, and my sister-in-law sends me a book to read with the words “I really think you want to read this.” The title of the book: Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss. It became an international best seller. Not only did it blow my mind open and rock me deeper than the aforementioned earthquake, it sent me on a completely new career path and forever changed my way of looking at reality.

In many indigenous traditions, the serpent is considered to be a sacred symbol of rebirth. In his book Animal Speak Ted Andrews explains, “Because it sheds its skin, the snake has long been a symbol of death and rebirth. It sheds its skin as it outgrows the old . . . It has ties and significance to the ancient alchemists and their symbolic transmutation of lead into gold.” In the shamanic tradition I studied, we explored four different levels of engagement with reality. The snake represents literal reality, or, an unemotional assessment of what “is.”

In my years of doing energy work and working at Soul Centered, Chakras have been consistently discussed. It seems that a basic understanding of the chakra system is important to every area of study in the metaphysical field, and can be very helpful in improving our lives.

So as I mentioned in my last blog, I am now in my 11th year running Soul Centered a metaphysical shoppe and event center…a long name and a huge vision. Most of my life, I have felt like an “outsider,” never quite fitting in, having these waves of feelings wash over me that embarrassed me at times, as it seemed so overwhelming. I often wondered, ”What’s wrong with me?”
Being a natural psychic and empath, but not knowing that I really was, or even what that meant, I studied theatre and acting as a wonderful place where I could “be” somebody else for a while. It felt good and purposeful, I knew exactly who I really was…in those moments. Then again…other times…in actual life, I would often be at the mercy of other people’s emotional waves, uncomfortable with public settings, parties, group meetings…it was everything I could do to not pick up others thoughts and feelings! My family always made me feel badly about being ‘me’ with comments like; “Why are you so sensitive?” “Toughen up!” “Oh here comes Sarah Heartburn” “Look crocodile tears” and more. At times I would feel drained and disabled, unable to do simple things, needing solitude and nature to re-charge.

Salt throughout history has been a very important mineral and was once considered the equivalent to gold. Today, people are more concerned with the salt content of their food, rarely considering the purifying properties of this mineral. Whether ingested,used in a bath, scrubbed on the skin, or kept in the form of a wand or lamp, salt has cleansing properties that benefit your physical, emotional, and auric body. Salt is such a powerful purifier it can cleanse other crystals when you place them in a bowl with it. A nugget of Himalayan salt or Selenite in a bag with a crystal will cleanse it right away.

Mercury Retrograde starts on June 7th, and as we all know, it can wreak havoc — especially at the beginning of the summer season. Computers, cars, and phones might glitch; trips and travel could be complicated; important contracts and decisions are best avoided during this time; and communication might get tricky. The most effective remedy is a grand dose of patience, isolation, and relaxation time for yourself. The less interaction between you and other people, the better during the Mercury Retrograde. If that is not possible because of work or pre-planned vacations, then stock up on some crystals that may help you during this time.
