Metaphysical Monday: Ego

Ego. That over-arching sense of “I” we all have to one extent of another. It can be a good thing, keeping us from always forgoing what we want and being pushed around by others, but it can also be a bad thing, making you forget you place in the world and leading you to look […]

Metaphysical Monday: I Poke Badgers With Sticks

Those on a spiritual path work to reach past their horizons and dive to the bottom of their own depths. They do this in many different ways. My way, at times, is akin to poking badgers with sticks. Not random badgers, mind you, and definitely not short sticks, but, by most standards, it’s still a […]

Solstice

As the sun began it’s longest climb of the year this morning past, I found myself immersed in a dream. It was an odd dream, far from the strangest I’ve ever had, but it was interesting. It involved, among other things, riding something akin to a hotel luggage dolly through the streets of my home […]

Metaphysical Monday: Long Distance Calls, Line Noise

Anyone who’s watched a show about ghosts in the past decade has most likely heard about Electronic Voice Phenomenon, commonly known as EVP. EVP is what you get when a recording device–be it digital or analog–picks up voices that the people in the room don’t hear. Even in the recording they’re frequently barely audible, garbled […]

Metaphysical Monday: Slipping Through the Door

While many of those not on a spiritual path–and even a number of those who are on one–will think that other realms of existence like Elsewhere are only metaphorical or imaginary, some know differently. They know differently not because they have sought out such knowledge. They know differently because they have, at one point or […]

Metaphysical Monday: Elsewhere

All mystical traditions have some sort of other world. That other world is a place removed, yet connected, to the world we spend most of our time in. It may be very similar to our world. It may be quite different, inhabited by all manner of strange creatures and beings. Some traditions may have multiple […]

Metaphysical Monday: The Warrior

In my own personal cosmology and organization of the way things are, there are three main spheres of being that people work within. One of those is The Warrior. The others (which will be discussed at a later date) are The Healer and The Searcher. We all have at least a little of the Warrior […]

Metaphysical Monday: Renewing — Bringing It Back In

Everything works both ways. Whatever gives, can take. Whatever increases, can decreases. The same is true of energy work. Renewing completes the cycle started with centering. Centering places you firmly within yourself. Grounding anchors your Self to the greater whole. Releasing gives to that larger energy system. Renewing allows you to take from it. Just […]

Metapysical Monday: Releasing — Let the Flow Go

Once you have grounding and centering techniques firmly in your repertoire, you should already be getting a feeling for where things can go next. When you are correctly grounded, you are tied in to the flow of all the energy around you. The earth. They sky. The Universe itself. Like a lightening rod firmly anchored […]

Metaphysical Monday: Grounding–Bringing Internal Balance Into the External World

We generate, move through and exchange massive amounts of metaphysical energy every day. Most of the time, our natural processes take care of things just fine by themselves. But if you’re doing in-depth work on spiritual development or spending time in a hostile environment (a place where there’s a lot of destructive energy being thrown […]
