We all have the ability to heal ourselves. An essential part of being a good healer is being able to discern what needs to be healed and navigate a treatment plan. I take a balanced, holistic approach, which means I don't rule out Western medicine. Although my first choice is always a natural approach to healing, I respect the help Western medicine can bring. 


For example, when you are trying to identify the problem -- medical tests, lab work, and a physical exam can be beneficial. Whether I am healing myself or others, I appreciate having a complete understanding of what is going on. On several occasions while working with clients, I've sensed through their energy that they have issues with their blood pressure. I immediately tell them I feel their blood pressure is high and that they need to have it checked out by a doctor. If the doctor feels they need medication, I support that decision. Then we can work on exploring what lessons the high blood pressure is bringing them. 


Intuitive healing, a process of tapping into one's inner wisdom and energy to guide the healing journey, played a significant role in my recent health challenges. I combined this approach with seeing a holistic medical doctor and undergoing lab work. Because I was not certain what was physically going on, I waited to start doing my intuitive healing.


This process started because I had not had an annual physical in several years. A few weeks before the blood work, I started feeling extremely tired with achy arms and legs and nausea in the late afternoons. I hoped the lab results would show why I was not feeling well. The doctor slowly read all the results and then announced to me I had non-alcoholic fatty liver and my kidneys were not working well.  He said those issues were probably the cause of how I had been feeling. 


Very surprised about his diagnosis, as I have never had kidney problems. About 25 years ago, I did have a problem with elevated liver enzymes, but never received an official diagnosis. I was very ill; the only test left they did not do was a biopsy of my liver.  Once I got out of the hospital, I focused on my healing. When I went to see the doctor to schedule the liver biopsy, the doctor was shocked to see that all liver enzymes had normalized.


For my current liver issues, I faithfully followed all the protocols the doctor gave me. After a few weeks, I added my healing work. Within a few days, I had a strong feeling the fatty liver problem was gone. At the end of 30 days, we retested my blood — my liver was completely back to normal. 


However, we discovered a new problem. I had a non-symptomatic raging UTI with multiple strains of bacteria. Thank goodness my intuition insisted I add a urine analysis to my lab work, even though the doctor had not ordered it. 



"One of the best things you can do as a healer is FOLLOW your INTUITION. 

Do not be afraid to speak up and tell your doctor if there are specific tests

or remedies you would like to try. If I had not taken the initiative to order a

urine analysis for myself, the UTI would probably have spread to my kidneys."



When working with a doctor, I view our relationship as a partnership. I always honor my intuition and guidance from my Spirit Guides, remaining open to all possibilities. This partnership provides

a sense of reassurance and support, ensuring that all aspects of my health are considered and addressed.


Benefits of becoming your own healer.


All healing is enriched by understanding and applying self-healing techniques. The more you can embrace and embody healing, the better the outcome you will experience. The notion that you only need to show up for the healer to 'fix you' is outdated. If you receive a healing session and then return home and continue your unhealthy habits, your healing will be compromised. It's crucial to be an active partner in your healing journey, engaging in the 'homework' your healer assigns and consistently doing your inner work to bring about lasting change. 


I encourage you to be an active partner with your healer. If they give you 'homework,' such as maintaining a healthy diet, practicing mindfulness, or doing specific exercises, do it! Remember, to change a habit, it takes 21 days of consistently doing your inner work. 


If you tap into your self-healing abilities, the outcome of your sessions with a healer will be much stronger.  Does that seem like a contradiction, that you would bring your healing skills to a session with a healer? You might even think, "If I can heal myself, why would I use another healer? 


I like to be open to all types of help. My self-healing will always be my first choice. If I still need more clarity or assistance, I pray for guidance on what direction to take. If I do decide to see another healer, I still do my inner work so I can better communicate what is happening and what I need. I show up as an equal partner, so that together we can join our forces for healing.  


Before I dive into the self-healing tips, I want to share a few thoughts about how to choose which methods and healers you may want to try. In my teaching memoir, WISDOM KEEPER, I devoted a chapter to alternative healing options.  I only included things I had personally tried. Out of the 45 healing methods, many did not work for me.  Just because someone has good results from a particular alternative healing method, it doesn't mean it will work for everyone.


I was reminded of this when I recently took on a 40-day meditation challenge. Usually, I go deep very quickly. With the technique they used, I could not get into a meditative state. After diligently trying for 20 days, I decided to replace their technique with something I knew would work for me. That doesn't mean their mediation doesn't work; it just doesn't work well for me.


When I try new healing methods or healers, I usually give them three tries before deciding whether to continue. I show up ready and willing to do the work the healers suggest. I know, as a client and a healer, that doing your work is a vital part of the healing process. You can't make an accurate decision on what works for you if you don't fully participate and do what is asked of you. With my healing clients, I always have homework. There is a significant difference between clients who complete their homework and those who fail to attempt it. If you want lasting change, you must put in the effort. 


Chloe's self-healing strategies.


I am a big believer in the power of journaling. It helps to release thoughts that can be swirling around in your head and brings clarity. Like peeling the layers of an onion, keep digging deeper when you journal. Use it as a form of meditation, so that Spirit can speak to you. 


OBSERVE: Every day, check in with yourself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Does anything feel off-kilter? Do you feel grounded, centered, and calm? Do you have plenty of energy?


IDENTIFY: If something is off, determine how it is affecting you emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. Has there been anything new or different in your life recently? It could be something you ate, a new person has come into your life, you had a troubling encounter with another person, you are not sleeping well, or maybe you encountered some significant stress.


DETERMINE: What actions are you going to take to remedy how you are feeling? It could be a combination of modifying your diet, addressing any sleep issues, or writing down some personal goals to help you deal with stressful situations or stressful people. Do you need to connect with a healer to help you? If you are having physical difficulties, do you need to see a medical doctor or have some tests done? 


COMMIT: Once you are clear about your 'treatment plan' commit 100% to it. Write affirmations and post them throughout your house so you can easily read them several times a day. If you have seen a healer or a medical doctor, make it a priority to follow their suggestions.


HAVE FAITH and TRUST: You must hold the intention and belief that you will get better. Visualize yourself healthy, strong, happy, vibrant — living an abundant life with passion and purpose.


With all the changes and stress in the world right now, it is essential for you to see and understand what is happening. Many of you may know I am a seer, one who can foresee future events. What makes a seer unique is their more profound understanding of their visions. They don't just predict the future; seers have a deeper understanding of spiritual truths and can offer guidance and wisdom.


 

I have been hesitant to share the details of what's coming because I don't want to cause any fear. What I will tell you is that things are going to continue to get much darker and more quickly.  If you have not addressed your mind, body, and spirit healing issues, now is the time. Please do not put it off; we are running out of time to prepare.


Recently, Spirit has been giving me opportunities to cleanse, heal, and reset. It has been pretty extraordinary to observe everything that I have experienced in the past 30 days. Every one of them has brought valuable lessons:


  • Severe fatigue and achy legs and arms.


  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver diagnosed (after 30 days, my liver is back to normal functioning).


  • Low-grade fever and freezing chills (happened three times). It took two wool blankets, a bedspread, a throw, a heavy wool sweater with a hoodie, and two full hours to get warm inside my house, which was 82 degrees. When this happened 25 years ago, my body started going into septic shock. 


  • Severe non-symptomatic UTI with multiple strains of bacteria.


  • Kidneys are not working correctly. I am guessing that clearing up the UTI will help correct the problem. On the 30-day retest of my blood, the doctor said my kidneys were "almost normal.”


  • Three pre-cancerous spots were treated with cryotherapy. I have never in my life had skin cancer or a spot that was considered pre-cancerous. My regular dermatologist told me several years ago it was unlikely I would ever have skin cancer, since I had not had it by my mid-60s. 


  • I have become more introverted (and so have many of my awakened friends). This is happening to protect our energy.


I have always told Spirit I am willing to help with anything. If Spirit feels I can be of more help in another dimension, that would be fine. It feels like Spirit has made a decision, and wants me to continuing helping here on Earth. I feel Spirit is speeding up the process to get me and my body ready to help more people.


To honor these lessons and celebrate that my mind, body, and spirit healed everything that was thrown at me this past month, I am going to  book a special massage with sound healing instruments by Roberto Cuevas Suárez. Music is such a powerful healer and Roberto brings wonderful energy to his work.


If you need help with healing or awakening, I am available for Intuitive Shamanic Energy Healing Sessions (in-person in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico or remotely word-wide); Mediumship Sessions; Life Coaching, and Energy Alignment 30 minute phone calls.


I would love to hear about techniques you use to enhance your healing.


Peace & Blessings,

Chloe

Well-known mythologist, writer, and teacher, Joseph Campbell coined the phrase, "follow your bliss." It is about honoring your inner calling. He believed that everyone has an inner calling that aligns with their authentic self.


Following your bliss is not simply doing what's 'fun or easy,' but instead listening to your heart and intuition, and making choices that honor your unique path -- even if those choices seem risky or unconventional. It's about living authentically and finding meaning in what you do. Your bliss is not always 'safe' or 'logical,' but it calls you toward wholeness. It's about what makes you feel most alive, fulfilled, and deeply happy -- even if it's not what society, family, or others expect of you. It's about what feels deeply right, authentic, and aligned with your soul.



"Do what makes you feel most alive, fulfilled, and deeply happy

even if it's not what society, family, or others expect of you."

-- Joseph Campbell



How can you honor the process to find and follow your bliss?


Choosing a Path that Feels Alive to YouEven if it Scares You.

It takes courage to follow your bliss, to choose a path that may seem risky or unconventional. However, remember that it's about what feels deeply right and authentic to you.


  • Someone who loves art but studied business because it seemed 'practical' might choose to open a small art studio anyway, because painting fills them with joy and meaning.

  • A person in a corporate job who feels dead inside decides to teach yoga because that's what they've always loved.

  • Your bliss is not awlays "safe" or "logical," but it calls you toward wholeness.


What Lights You Up?

When you're following your bliss, you notice what gives you a sense of flowwhere you lost track of time, feel energized, and deeply satisfied. Even if these don't make you rich or famous, they are worth prioritizing.


  • Writing stories, even though no one requested them.

  • Working in a garden and feeling at peace.

  • Traveling to remote places and feeling alive in the unknown.


Trust that Life Will Support You When You Align with Your True Self.

According to Campbell, "doors will open where there were not doors before" when you follow your bliss. In other words, when you take steps toward what's yours to do, you often meet the right people, opportunities, or synchronicities at just the right time.


It's Not Just About Pleasure, It's Also About Meaning.

Bliss doesn't mean only what feels good right now. It's about what feels deeply right, authentic, and aligned with your soul.


  • A parent raising children out of love hard, tiring work, yet profoundly fulfilling.

  • An activist fighting for justice, even though it's challenging.

  • A spiritual seeker going through trials on the way to awakening.


Your bliss may include struggle, but it's a meaningful one. It does not require you to quit your job tomorrow and move the to the mountains. Even small steps toward your bliss — taking an hour to write, enrolling in a class you love, spending more time on what fills you can change your whole life's trajectory.


Practical and gentle ways to. start aligning with your bliss.


Pay Attention to What Lights You Up

At the end of each day, jot down 1-2 moments when you felt alive, joyful, or deeply satisfied, no matter how small.


  • When you were helping someone solve a problem.

  • When you were cooking and lost track of time.

  • When you were outside and felt at peace.


Make a "Bliss List"


  • Sit quietly and write a list of 10-15 things you love to do, even if you haven't done them in years.

  • Think about childhood joys, hobbies, skills, places, even moods (like "feeling free" or "feeling useful.")

  • Then circle 1-2 things and include these into your life more this week.


Schedule Bliss Time

Block out 30-60 minutes a week (to start) focusing on what brings you joy, guilt-free.

Treat it like a sacred appointment.


  • Paint for no reason.

  • Visit a park and do nothing.

  • Take yourself to a museum.

  • Play music.

  • Call someone who makes you laugh.


Tune Into Your Body's Signals


  • As you face decisions, big or small, pause and ask: "Does this feel expansive and light .....

    or heavy and contracted?

  • Your body often knows what your mind hasn't yet figured out. Bliss feels light, open, alive

    even if it also feels scary.


Notice and Follow Little Curiosities

Next time something sparks your curiosity or excites you, even just a little, take one step toward it. Bliss often begins as a whisper.


  • Read that book you keep thinking about.

  • Take a class on something you've always wondered about.

  • Strike up a conversation about a topic that excites you.


Surround Yourself with Inspiration

Inspiration makes it easier to trust your path.


  • Spend time with people, books, art, or places that remind you of what's possible and what you love about life.


Reflect on What You Want to Feel

Pay attention to what feeling you want more offreedom, peace, joy, creativity, connection, meaning.


  • Ask yourself each day: "What's one think I can do today that moves me closer to that feeling?" This self reflection will help you stay true to your bliss.


You don't have to have it all figured out to begin. Bliss isn't a destination; it's a way of walking your path, step by step, choice by choise. Even the smallest actions can bring immense joy and fulfillment, reminding you that you're on the right path.


The photo at the top is a great example of how I look and feel when I'm following my bliss. I recently have been working a lot and was feeling a little burned out. One morning, I woke up and the first Spirit message I received was that I needed to take a "vacation day" and go to the natural hot springs. I didn't argue or try to convince myself that I had too much work to do. Instead, I quickly prepared to leave early so I would have the whole day there to rest and relax.


It was a great day. As I sat in the pool and closed my eyes, I took a few deep breaths and began meditating, while the sun beamed gently on my face. I was surprised at how quickly I got into a deep meditative state, considering there were many other people in the pool, talking and splashing in the water. So there I was, surrounded by people and lots of noise, as I basked in the beauty and awe of the moment.


I would love for you to share some of the ways you follow your bliss.


If you would like help with finding and following your bliss, please contact me.


Peace & Blessings,

Chloe












 
 
 
Tap Into Your Spiritual Power to Weather the Storm
Tap Into Your Spiritual Power to Weather the Storm

You are probably beginning to understand why I did not want to reveal the details of my visions that foresaw what is happening in the world today. I knew it could cause a great deal of fear, which was not what I wanted for you or our world. 


I understand that it can be challenging to stay calm and grounded. All of this turmoil and uncertainty is causing many to feel fearful about what is happening in the world.  I believe people are also getting triggered when this bumps up against some of their unhealed trauma and wounds. In these times, our spiritual practices can be a beacon for us, providing us with the strength and resilience to navigate through the chaos.


The current political and economic climate is enough to shake us up. If you also experienced similar trauma in your past lives, it can make it much more difficult to find your center right now. Please keep this in mind when you observe yourself and other people's behavior.


We all have different ways to cope. Some people want to pretend that if nothing is directly affecting them, then nothing is happening. They continue with their lives as though everything is fine and don't seem to be too concerned about the suffering of others. Others are allowing themselves to be consumed by the darkness; it affects everything they think and do. Let's not forget the brave activists who are willing to put their beliefs on the line.


Our world needs people to come together and share their talents, wisdom, and skills. Appreciate each person's contribution. In these challenging times, it's crucial that we support and understand each other. Pray, meditate, hold positive intentions, and believe in your heart we are headed for a fantastic rebirth. Yes, more darkness is coming, but the Light will overcome.


"Can you open your mind to the idea that sometimes dark energy

is here to wake us up rather than destroy us?"


Everyone who is here on the planet at this time agreed to be here for these challenges. The soul contracts for this life encompass the roles you are currently playing.  Can you open your mind to the idea that sometimes dark energy is here to wake us up rather than destroy us?  The lesson is to cause enough discomfort to get you to change your life.  One of the most important things you can do right now is find and remain on an awakened spiritual path. This path will guide you and keep you focused on your journey of growth and transformation. 


One of the visions I had in 2009 was a 'train station' inside a large mountain. There were many people and numerous trains. I noticed two distinct lines of people waiting to board. The trains were going in opposite directions. I realized one direction was for the people who were 'awake,' meaning they were spiritually conscious and aware, and the other direction was for those stuck with only the reality of their 3D world. What made this vision even more significant is that shortly after I had it, I met a man from another dimension who had seen the same vision. He said he remembered his spaceship crashed, and he 'walked in' to another person's life. A walk-in is a spiritual concept in which some souls who have experienced a great deal of trauma or illness may volunteer to let another soul exchange places with them. Usually, the walk-in has a higher purpose or mission to help. 


In our shared vision, both of us understood that people were not going to different physical places; it was a symbolic separation from those who were not awake. All the trauma and upset that happens in the 3D world will be felt emotionally and physically by those who are not awake. Those on an awakened spiritual path will be able to observe what is happening but will not be affected by it in the same way.


I have worked diligently to help people awaken, discover their Divine purpose, and heal.  Those who are not awake will continue to suffer greatly. I shared political posts on social media in the hope that they would draw the attention of more people, helping them realize they need to wake up. Some may think I was being fearful and sharing negative energy.  No one has asked me why I shared these posts; it is a result of a powerful agreement and spiritual contract I made with the Spirit world to help people awaken. This agreement and contract are part of my spiritual journey and purpose for this lifetime. I honor what Spirit asks me to do. Sometimes, the best way to reach people is by sharing things that could make them uncomfortable. Spirit brought me numerous serious illnesses and problems until I started deeply remembering my spiritual purpose and path for this lifetime. Am I upset that I had to experience all of these things? No, because it got me to where I am today.


"I want everyone to live a happy, healthy, abundant life.

If I know how you can do that, I won't keep quiet."


Most people don't know that in addition to my spiritual work, I studied political science, international relations, and economics during my college years. I have always been an activist. I thought I would end up with a career in politics. During an independent study at the University of Texas, I worked on the Lloyd Doggett US Senate campaign, which was managed by the legendary James Carville.  After the semester ended, I was asked to stay on as Libby Doggett's assistant; I declined the offer.  Shortly afterward, James Carville was hired to run Bill Clinton's Presidential campaign. I thought after college, I would be working in D.C. or as a US Foreign Service Officer in another country. 


This background provides me with a deeper understanding of the current political and economic landscape. I know how a battle like the one we're having plays out. Additionally, I have recalled two significant lifetimes I had that share similarities with what is happening today. In Ancient Egypt, the group of us that came from the Wise One's dimension were killed in a genocide because we would not use our power for evil. The other past life I keep bumping up against is the Holocaust. I was Jewish and watched and endured horrific atrocities. The concept of "not looking the other way" was burned into my soul so that I would never forget what could happen.


How are you showing up for others?                                         

It is not just what you say but how you hold space for others. The more grounded and centered you are, the more effectively you can inspire and motivate others. Simple practices like breath work, meditation, and pausing before speaking can help you stay calm and connect with people in a healthy way. 


Be sure to come from a place of compassion—even with those who hold opposing beliefs.  it does not require you to agree with what is happening or being said. Compassion creates a more loving space for you to hear and understand more deeply. Don't forget to set clear boundaries. For example, if you encounter someone who is supporting the current US administration because they are racist, that may be someone you don't want to have in your life. Realize that many people right now are making choices based on anger and fear.  So, instead of engaging directly with a racist person, you could send them love, compassion, and healing. 


Remember to be compassionate with yourself. We are all here, doing our best. When you're struggling and having difficulty returning to a centered space, try taking a break or doing something different. Sometimes, I wake up and immediately know I need a day of relaxation and fun. The following day, I always feel relaxed and ready to do my work.


To cultivate greater compassion for yourself and others, practice the Loving-Kindness Meditation daily. It is one of my favorite spiritual tools and is perfect to use during these chaotic times. There are many versions of this meditation. I am including one of my favorites; you can use it or add to it to make it feel more aligned with your situation.


First, close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Clear your mind.

Begin with yourself:


"May I be happy."

"May I be safe."

"May I be healthy, peaceful, and strong."

"May I give and receive appreciation today."


Now repeat the blessing for all sentient beings:


"May you be happy."

"May you be safe."

"May you be healthy, peaceful, and strong."

"May you give and receive appreciation today."

"How to Practice Loving Kindness Meditation"


More soulful tips for navigating the storm:


  • Take a break from social media and the news.

Recently, I decided to take a three-day break from social media and the news. I loved it so much that I added another four days. Then, I added another week. It is challenging to avoid headlines—they are everywhere. If I see one during my 'news fast,' I don't read the article. If the headline throws me off a bit, I process it and let it go.


  • Find a meditative practice that works for you.

I have been a meditator for a long time. With the craziness in the world, I felt like I needed a boost. So, I enrolled in a 40-day meditation challenge. Right now, more than ever, you need to make a conscious effort to be consistent with your spiritual practices. It can make a significant difference in how well you remain calm and grounded. 


  • Daily Rituals.

My mornings start with lighting incense and candles and saying a daily prayer:


"Thank you for this new day; thank you for getting me to use it wisely.--taking time to appreciate, time to be thankful, time to rest and relax, time to enjoy, time to be productive, time to be creative, time to devote to my spiritual practice, and time to nurture my mind, body, spirit, in all ways, all times, all dimensions and all realities." 

 

"Thank you for guiding me and getting me to make good decisions. Thank you for helping me see and hear your plan for me and giving me the strength, courage, wisdom, and guidance to follow it. Thank you for restoring my mind, body, Spirit, and space to its optimal functioning. And So It Is.”


Affirmations - there is real power in affirmations. Read them at least once a day. If you are having a difficult time, reread them. When I create affirmations for myself, I first journal to gain more clarity on what is happening in my life and what I need. Frame your affirmations in a positive light, with the intention and words that reflect your affirmation is true and happening for you right now. 


Daily movement options such as yoga, tai chi, Feldenkrais, Qigong and mindful walking, are all good choices. 


Music is a huge priority! It will make a difference if you listen to sacred music every day. If you are struggling, listen to it more often. Lean into the vibration of the music to heal, uplift, and ground you. 


  • Sacred Music

I received a new assignment from my Spirit Guides about a month ago. It is all about the importance of surrounding yourself with sacred music. I am still working on a commissioned piece of music that will be the centerpiece of this music project. Additionally, I am compiling sacred music playlists that I have created for my healing clients to help you thrive during this time.


ree

This playlist is saved on Spotify:



I am also curating a playlist of sacred, uplifting music without lyrics, as well as a joyful playlist that will energize and inspire you to get up and move your body.



Please take responsibility to use these daily practices to help you navigate the chaotic and challenging times. It is okay to feel overwhelmed. Please remember you are not powerless. You have the choice of where to put your time and energy. You have tools to help you stay calm, grounded and centered. While the outer world is quaking and shaking, tap into your inner power. The world needs you now.


I would love to hear how everyone is doing and what tools you are using to stay calm and grounded. I am here to support your awakening spiritual journey. If you need assistance, contact me for an intuitive shamanic energy healing session, life coaching, or a soothing energy alignment 30 minute phone call.


Peace & Blessings,

Chloe
