I produced this video last spring to mark the first year anniversary of leaving Washington State on a hero’s quest. It’s now been two years since that fateful day when I hopped onto an Amtrak train.
Astrology’s Role With Spiritual Awakening
Even though on the surface, astrology has been used as a form of entertainment as in with the daily horoscopes, there is a scientific element to astrology. However, during the era of the Spiritualists, magazine horoscopes were invented. And then astrology came to the masses but in a way horoscopes discredited to astrology.
True astrology involves delving into the intricacies of eight planets and two luminaries (Sun and Moon) and expert astrologers often work with narratives and archetypes found in Natal and transit charts. Just like other spiritual practices have been hyped by the media and oversimplified in a user-friendly fashion to appeal to the masses, astrology loses its ability to transform lives and assist in the awakening of humanity when it’s watered down.
And what I mean by that is people using astrology to predict when they will meet their next intimate partner, land that dream job or buy a house. And this means that the person isn’t delving into the deeper wounds that require their attention. And if their soul has chosen to awaken in this lifetime then they missed out on the astrological keys to unlock their soul blueprint.
When I launched my astrology practice in 2012, most of my clients at that time were interested in their partnerships or finances. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, their partnerships were riddled with quagmires and their financial situations were attached to psychic wounds the clients refused to address. They just wanted a victim narrative about how Pluto in Capricorn was destroying their marriages and finances.
But that’s not even the true story of a Pluto transit. Pluto digs into our subconscious terrain where we hide our beliefs and family patterns. Similar to Chiron, Pluto opens a treasure chest of wounds and the dark stuff we don’t want to face. But if we muster the courage and face our issues, we empower ourselves. Yes, Pluto grants us power.
And it’s like that too with Uranus and Neptune. If we glean the lessons these planets are teaching us through the transits forming aspects with our Natal Planets, we gain mastery. And this is something expert astrologers and astrology coaches offer to clients. They act as the midwives to a massive rebirth that can lead to a collective consciousness expanding into the light. While it’s fascinating for an individual to have his or her own spiritual awakening, what good is that if everyone else is still asleep?
I do find it encouraging to see the number of followers who flock to the expert astrologers on YouTube. And these astrologers are promoting spiritual awakening. But of course, not all astrologers do that because some of them take the easier route which is to promise riches and fame; dreams coming true to seduce more followers to their channels.
But in the end, astrologers are only reporting the planetary transits with their interpretation tagged on to it. Astrologers are not magical beings who wave a magic wand and grant their clients’ wishes. What would even be the point of that? Awakening is something you earn lifetime after lifetime of doing the inner work.
However, an astrologer who is worth every penny gives their client the tools for them to use for their awakening. And those tools come in the form of understanding the Chironic or Plutonic journey. Those tools come in the form of the client finding a team of professionals, including a mental health counselor or an addiction counselor when undergoing Pluto or Neptune transits to their Sun, Moon, Ascendant or nodes.
And with more astrologers playing the role of the soul midwife, it’s possible that astrology paves the way for spiritual awakening. Right now is the perfect opportunity with Pluto in Aquarius marking the beginning of a new age. Neptune is in the culmination degrees before it leaves its sign Pisces and begins a new cycle in Aries. Meanwhile, Uranus is having us question our values and the values of society as it crashes the financial markets (in Taurus).
Whether we choose to become conscious or not, the planets are always working on our behalf. We are never victims of a planetary transit. It’s true that we might have to spend time alone finding ourselves rather than become a part of a dream partnership or work at that career we have dreamed about our entire life. But the irony is that once you do that inner work you can manifest that dream partnership or job and you won’t even want it when it arrives. That was your ego’s wishes and not your soul’s evolution.
So, next time you think that astrology is superficial and plays no role in the spiritual awakening of the planet, think again. Astrology is meaningful and a huge player as we enter the Aquarius Age and in fact, the Aquarius Age was thought up by astrologers in the first place. But if you’re looking at astrological prediction through the lens of horoscopes or card readers using astrology as part of their practice, then good luck.
The best things in life aren’t free. If you want to live a more meaningful life then hiring an expert astrologer will give you the tools to build that life. There’s a saying that you get what you pay for. But even the best expert astrology videos on YouTube are still a form of entertainment. That’s because only receiving personalized readings will fully address your unique life path and lessons.
For instance, I spent years reading astrology tomes (books by the astrologers who provide research and historic references), but it was getting personal readings that helped me delve into the deepest parts of myself.
By supporting this blog, you recognize the decades of astrological practice that went into this article. You recognize that I’ve been working with clients since 2012. And you find these articles useful and at least worth the price of a designer coffee drink. And you help me pay my bills so that I can write and post more articles which by the way, are 100% human generated.
If I receive support from this blog, I can engage with astrological research by spending the time on historic charts. Without those funds, I’m not able to do this work. There are no grants for astrologers.
Difference Between an Animal Communicator and a Pet Psychic?
Sometimes pet psychic and animal communicator are interchanged. However, they are not the same thing. Not all animal communicators are psychics. And what about animal whisperers and shamans?

When I’m out walking in the neighborhood or visiting a dog-friendly hardware store, dogs approach me hoping for a communication session. They give me the same look that they would for someone holding a cookie in their hand. It’s an eager look that I don’t wish to reward with disappointment.
However, it’s unethical for me to communicate with someone’s pet without permission from the animal’s guardian. This is because they have their own bond and even karmic ties. It’s a delicate situation in which I would love to converse with the dog and unfortunately not everyone is open to animal communication; not everyone believes it’s a real thing.
So, here is a list of why your dog (or other pet) enjoys an animal communication session. And why for dogs, it is at the top of their favorite things to do list which also includes eating, cookies, and walks.

- They have grievances or worries they would like to get off their chest.
Just like us humans, animals carry concerns which feel like burdens to them. And since most people don’t know how to communicate telepathically with their pets, they play the guessing game in regard to their pet’s unusual behaviors or sullen moods.
An animal communicator comes in and cuts to the chase. And once that’s accomplished, the guardian will know what are the next best steps into resolving their pet’s concerns.
2. Our Pets Want to Teach Us about Nature and Their Species.
Have you ever wanted to go deep within the realm of other species? Were you like me as a child and you wanted so desperately to know what your pet was thinking? Or maybe you wanted to delve into the mysteries of the natural world.
By opening up to a communication session with your pet, you bring in an interpreter of your pet’s thoughts and feelings no matter his or her species. Most animal communicators can converse with multiple species because telepathy doesn’t exactly distinguish between them. It’s all vibration interpreted into words, images, and feelings. However, the guardian can ask questions specific to their pet’s species.

3. Animal Communication Helps Vets Solve Mystery Illnesses.
Although not many vets at this time are on board with animal communication, when they are open to it, the communicator can feel into the animal’s body and describe sensations to the vet. This can help the vet to zero on the part of the animal’s body causing the concern. It would be ideal if there were more partnering with vets and animal communicators. Perhaps, in the future this will occur. I haven’t given up hope.
4. The Animal is Delighted to Be Heard and Acknowledged.
While our pets enjoy our praise when they do something that is agreeable to us, they would also enjoy having their deepest thoughts and feelings acknowledged by us. I remember when I walked the foster dog and I practiced telepathy on him. At first, I wasn’t sure if I was successful or not. Then one day he gazed at with a gleam in his eyes and I knew he heard my thoughts.
I also used images in my thoughts of us going for a walk without saying the words, “Do You Want to Go for a Walk?” Or I would only think those words silently, and he grew excited as he knew we were going for a walk. I’m sure he felt deeply acknowledge.
I tear up remembering those times of bonding with him since he is no longer walking upon the Earth.

5. Communication of a Pet’s Dying Wishes.
Many guardians bring their pets or companion animals to an animal communicator when the pet’s end of life is approaching. But this can also happen when the human’s end of life is approaching and they want to help the pet with this passage.
I noticed that humans don’t even want to discuss their own death with other humans. But animals live a much shorter life unless we’re talking about a tropical bird which can outlive most humans. It’s important to make these arrangements ahead of time or we become confused when we are in the midst of anguish and grief at the time of death.
While animals live in the moment they are also wise when it comes to the end of their life approaching. They might have specific directions of what to do such as they might be okay with being euthanized if they’re in pain.
Or they might wish to stay alive longer to make any amends or for other types of closure with their loved ones. They might have a specific place in the woods where they would like to be buried. Or they might wish for you to be with them when they die. In contrast to that, they might wish to die alone.
An animal communicator, although not their favorite job, can interpret the pet’s wishes for the end of his or her life. Make sure that you are consulting with an experienced animal communicator and not a dabbler because this is an important decision that you want to get right. Their are no rehearsals for a good passing to the other side.
Conclusion

While it’s possible to sample animal communicators in practice groups on social media, for best results it’s a good idea to hire and pay a professional animal communicator. Sign up for a full session with coaching options. Some animal communicators also combine energy-healing such as Reiki.
As animal communicators, we go into this profession as a leap of faith. It’s not the easiest profession to make a living but we know that we make a difference in helping guardians bond deeply with their animal companions. And some of us will even teach the guardians basic animal communication skills they can use everyday with their animal friend.

Healthy Vegan Versus A Toxic Vegan Diet
Veganism has received a bad rap for several reasons. But one of the arguments against vegan diets is based on the toxic processed food with the “vegan” label on it. But don’t dismay, if you avoid processed foods even processed “natural” foods, you can steer clear of toxic ingredients.
I’m not a certified or licensed nutritionist. Although I have researched nutrition for my own benefit, especially after switching to a mostly vegan diet in 2017. At first, I didn’t experience any health benefits from giving up dairy and eggs which showed up as positive on an allergy test. And then, eventually, I noticed some of the harmful ingredients in processed vegan foods. Alarm bells went off in my brain.
These foods included crackers, cookies, gluten-free bread (not always vegan), protein powders, and snack foods that touted the labels of natural and vegan. I noticed that meat substitutes (not that I eat these) included high-gluten content as well as other unhealthy ingredients such as overly processed soy. Other substitutes included modified starches, natural flavors (which could be MSG), and yeast extract (not to be confused with nutritional yeast which is actually healthy.
(Please note that not all soy is bad for you. Tofu, miso, and soy sauce or tamari are not unhealthy unless you are allergic to soy. Also stay clear of GMO soy).
Before choosing and consuming one of these meat or even cheese substitutes, go and look up the long list of ingredients used as flavor enhancers which are actually MSG with a different name. Look up the various gums and preservatives in the products. And also look up sugar content.
I bought a lentil snack which said that it was made with vinegar and salt, but when I looked at the ingredients on the back of the package I was disappointed to see, natural seasonings (MSG?), yeast extract and sugar. Why would I need any of those ingredients in a natural lentil snack? And if the seasoning is natural tell me what herbs and spices are included rather than using “natural seasoning” which could be MSG.
I also learned years ago that preservatives which are used to prolong shelf life on products are actually irritating to your gut. Your digestive system has a harder time breaking down the foods with preservatives because it needs to work with bacteria in order to do that. And preservatives are anti-bacteria so preservatives are working against Mother Nature. That’s not to say that we want to eat moldy crackers and chips. There are natural preservatives such as vitamin E and rosemary among others that as far as I know, won’t interfere with the digestive process.
Non-Toxic Vegan
If you stay clear of the processed foods, you can actually afford to buy beans, nuts, grains (even gluten-free grains) in bulk. Try to purchase organic. You can also buy olive oil (I prefer California olive oil), salt, herbs and spices in bulk. If you aren’t in a hurry and not looking for convenience buy your beans and lentils dry and use a pressure cooker to cook them. (You can find pressure cookers available at thrift stores or in Facebook groups where people give belongings away).
Pick up vegan recipe books at dollar stores, thrift stores or you might find them in free bins. This will give you ideas and inspiration from cooking meals from scratch. And visit your local farmers market, food coop, or natural grocery store to pick up organic produce. You can even find organic produce at Trader Joe’s (US) or Aldi’s in some cities (although Aldi’s isn’t located in the western half of the US).
Learn New Skills
Learn how to use new types of pots and pans or a pressure cooker. Learn how to grow your own vegetables, fruits, and nuts. You can even grow your own beans. I met one person who was growing quinoa. Learn how to cook new kinds of grains and vegetables. And much of this can be accomplished by watching cooking shows on YouTube or picking up books at a public library.
Form a group of other vegans and vegetarians and meet once a month to exchange recipes or teach others how to work with medicinal mushrooms and to make your own pickles and sour kraut. If you have a big enough place, host a potluck and recipe exchange.
Conclusion
Don’t give veganism a bad name by consuming unhealthy products and then later saying that the vegan diet ruined your health. There are many long-term vegans who are healthy because they know how to cook from scratch, juice, and they refrain from other bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages and experimenting with recreational drugs. They stay hydrated and exercise.
Also, you don’t have to adopt a vegan lifestyle to eat a vegan diet. You don’t need to change who you’re hanging around or wear shirts with “vegan” across your chest. You don’t need to make speeches or shame omnivores. But if you’re going to eat a vegan diet research unhealthy ingredients that food processors sneak into the food. And definitely stay clear of GMO ingredients.
I eat a mostly vegan diet despite suffering from IBS and other health issues. I’ve also ditched previous favorite snack foods after finding harmful ingredients in them. I’m a busy person but I have still figured out to cook quick meals from scratch that have helped me regain some of my energy back despite suffering from Lyme. And I’ve done all this on a tight budget.
It’s a matter of priority. Many of those flavor enhancers leave you craving food. You’ll never feel satisfied and you’ll end up on the treadmill of stuffing more processed foods into your body. Once you switch to whole foods (as in unprocessed food) you will curb your hunger and get your nutritional needs met. You will also learn how to cook artichoke or discover exotic fruit.
If I can do this, so can you.

How Does Animal Communication Work?
With so many social media posts and YouTube videos about pet psychics, animal whisperers and animal communicators, you might wonder how it is even possible to communicate with other species.
When humans stumble over language barriers and have trouble communicating with one another, how is it that humans can communicate with non-humans? Are humans learning the language of dogs (barking, whining, or growling) or of cats (meowing)? The answer is no. Animal communicators are telepathic.
While animal communicators do pick up subtle cues with an animal’s body language and basics of animal behavior, animal communication when done correctly and within the tradition, revolves around telepathy and going into a meditative state or light trance.
The first step is to receive the invitation or consent from the animal (or other species) to communicate with them. We often ask the animal for permission and ask them if they have any messages for us or for their pet guardian.
Next the communicator places themselves in a bubble of pink or white light and also places the animal in a bubble of light. This is to protect both the communicator and the animal from outside influences. Then the communicator will gaze into the animal’s eyes with the animal initiating the gaze (some animals prefer that you don’t look them in the eye because they feel that you are challenging them).
The animal communicator then asks the first question and waits for a response from the animal. This response can come in the form of sensations in his or her body (the animal communicator), images coming through the third eye or words. It could come through as all three, depending on the communicator’s psychic gifts.
Once the animal communicator has the response and is able to articulate it, she/he conveys the message to the pet guardian. Then the pet guardian responds while offering more clues to the situation that unfolds during the communication session.
This goes on for 30 more more minutes until the communicator concludes the session and thanks the animal. She or he then releases the animal’s higher self and the light bubbles. It’s also a good idea to drink a glass of water to flush out any remaining energy from the animal. And give the animal a fresh water supply so he/she can do the same.
The animal communicator either makes a recording of the session or does an outtake with the client (human). If it seems appropriate the communicator schedules a future session with the animal.
Most animal communicators work with photographs at this time although there are still a few that do home visits. We are concerned about our safety and liability issues. Some animals don’t like strangers coming into their homes and they might become defensive around their guardians, despite the animal communicator’s good intentions.
Animal communication can also be done via a phone call with the communication with the animal occurring with a photograph and the communicator relays the messages to the pet guardian over the phone or a Zoom call.
Animal communication is possible with wild animals, zoo animals, sanctuary and farm animals as well as pets (which is how it’s normally used). Animal communicators sometimes work with shelter and foster animals. And some animal communicators specialize in finding missing pets while others who are also psychic mediums can communicate with animals who have died (as is the case with me). All species are open to communicating with humans who have good intentions and are humble.
Always approach the creature with respect.

5 Human Behaviors That Annoy Dogs
Please support human-generated blog posts. Thank you.
When I’m mentioning behaviors that dogs dislike I’m speaking in general terms and from an animal communicator’s point of view. Obviously, individual dogs might not dislike everything on my list, but it’s good to know this information and to learn how to also read your dog’s body language.
Are You Annoying Your Dog?
- Loud Noises
Have you ever noticed your dog leaving the room when you crank up the stereo, throw a party with louder people or turn up the volume on the TV? This is because dogs have sensitive hearing and the noise is too jarring for them. Your dog is similar to a hypersensitive human so a softer and quieter environment is more relaxing for your dog. He or she will appreciate you keeping the volume down. And whatever what you do, never shout at your dog.
Signs that your dog is disturbed by the noise include trembling, shaking, licking lips out of context, yawning when they’re not tired, seeing the whites of their eyes, and cowering. Or the dog might run out of the room and hide in a quieter space.
2. Touching Their Paws
Some dogs hate having their paws touched. This becomes a challenging when clipping the dog’s nails/claws. Certain breeds are more likely to have this problem than others or if the dog had a bad experience having his or her nails clipped, their paws become off-limits for us.
Work with a trainer or learn how to socialize your dog at an early age to have his or her paws touched. If that’s not possible, then find an expert to clip your dog’s claws or walk the dog often since their nails will be shaved by the hard surfaces they walk on.
If your dog doesn’t like having his or her paws touch make sure you warn groomers and vets about this ahead of time. It’s also not a good idea to allow the claws to become too long or to not shave the fur embedded between the paw pads. This can cause a dog to slip and skid on floors. And this especially a problem with senior dogs who have mobility issues or arthritis.
3. Gas Lighting Your Dog
Dog owners actually get a kick out of fooling their dogs. They tell the dogs that they are going to the dog park when really they are going to the vet. They tease the dog about squirrels or rabbits in the yard when there aren’t any (although some dogs have a sense of humor about this one). Also, don’t tell a dog she isn’t hungry when it’s past their dinner time.
The more you trick your dog, the less the dog will trust you. Eventually, the bond between you and your dog will weaken. Or you’ll have an animal that sulks and possibly resents you.
4. Not Allowing the Dog to Sniff Objects and People on a Walk
Scent is most likely a dog’s number one sense. They use their nose in the way that humans use social media. When a dog sniffs the grass, a post, or another dog, they are picking up on important information. Sniffing is mental stimulation for a dog.
Don’t be one of those “annoying” dog owners that yanks on the leash when the dog wants to stop and smell the grass or a post. You might also want to pick up and read Alexandra Horowitz’ Being a Dog.
5. Giving Your Dog Mixed Messages
Imagine if you had a parent who said you could do a certain behavior but when you did that behavior you were scolded for it. Dog guardians send mixed messages to dogs when they say that the dogs are forbidden from sleeping on the couch but then encourage the dog to get on the couch with them.
Or another mixed message is when the guardian says it’s okay for the dog to jump on them, but not okay for the dog to jump on others. It’s one way or the other. Don’t send mixed messages to your dog. It’s also best to teach your dog not to jump on anyone. This is considered rude behavior by your guests, people with mobility issues, and children who could be hurt by a dog jumping on them. There’s nothing cute or affectionate about a dog jumping on a person.
In addition, if you are an indecisive person or you can’t make up your mind, you are telling your dog that you’re not capable of leadership. And if you come across as wishy-washy and neurotic to the dog, he or she is less likely to follow any of your commands. You could end up with a dog that misbehaves and like a teen thumbs his nose at you.
If you have challenges with making decisions or you lack confidence, it’s time for you to seek the help of a life coach or a mental health counselor. Dogs often show us our weaknesses so that we can improve ourselves. That’s one of the many gifts dogs give us.

Toxic Positivity in Spiritual Communities and Practices
When I was starting my spiritual journey in my 20s and 30s, I didn’t know the definition of toxic positivity. By nature, I tend to be more guarded due to childhood abuse and I came across as dark and negative to people.
I was often discouraged from my spiritual pursuits because hanging around people who called me negative and didn’t recognize my struggles with PTSD and anxiety (which led to worrying and micro-managing my world). I became more hermit-like as I grew older because I preferred it to feeling the constant rejection from “more enlightened” types.
I was relieved when I encountered working with the shadow self and integrating that part of me. As I did this, ironically, this helped me to become more empowered and optimistic. Unfortunately, the LoA followers still constantly hound people like me and toss their mantras of creating my own reality in my face. If only life was that simplistic.
The Definition of Toxic Positivity
My definition of toxic positivity is when people can’t handle more challenging emotions and confuse Joseph Campbell’s words of following one’s bliss as life should be blissful all the time and if it’s not, we did something wrong. We lowered our vibration and now, we’re creating destruction on the planet or in the very least, we’re causing harm to ourselves by churning bad luck.
Since Joseph Campbell also delved into the hero’s journey which involves a dark night of the soul, I doubt this great professor of mythology was saying that following one’s bliss meant not thinking any negative thoughts. One of his favorite movies was Star Wars and that was a movie that portrayed the dark forces and the light forces which ultimately integrate. After all, Darth Vader turned out to be Luke Skywalker’s father.
I work with sound therapy. I am a Reiki Master so I know about frequencies and energy. As a healer, I’m faced with problems facing the mind-body-spirit of humans and animals. Clearing the chakras is always possible. Removing energy blockages is always possible. But it’s our lifestyle choices and not so much what we think and feel that causes the blockages. And some of the blockages come from our ancestors or how we were raised as children–which we have no control over.
We don’t heal by sidestepping our problems. We heal by having the courage to face our darkness and to integrate our shadows. Shadow workers and positivity folks are often at odds because shadow workers recognize “reality” for what it truly is, while the positivity folks get hooked on bliss similar to people who use recreational drugs to escape their life circumstances. If I don’t see the problem it doesn’t exist, so they seem to think.
The truth is we can’t escape life circumstances. We came to this planet to experience everything from our darker to our lighter moments. Just like the oyster needs friction to transform into a pearl so do we as humans. I find that the positivity folks lack real depth. They are a simple melody compared to a grand symphony with diverse themes. And they’re really not much help to people who are suffering because their cure of slapping a band aid on a gaping wound simply doesn’t help.
By telling people who are suffering mentally or emotionally to suck it up, plaster a smile on their face and to repeat affirmations until their faces turn blue, isn’t healing anyone. I’m not against affirmations. I’m not against feeling true happiness, but I’m not to keen on faking it to you make it in the realm of positive spirituality. And I’m also not keen on people who refuse to grow and stay stuck in victimhood. Striking a balance is key.
I realize that one of the principles of Reiki is to not feel angry, however, I think this can be misinterpreted. Not allowing ourselves to feel angry could just mean taking responsibility for our emotions and choosing ones that are more empowering. Anger is what we feel when we give our power away to another. But anger can also show us which parts of us require deeper healing.
Perhaps, the Reiki principles are who we become when we are enlightened beings. We will no longer feel anger, spend time worrying, or be dishonest with ourselves or others. We will practice gratitude and be kind to ourselves and others. That’s a high mountain to climb and we must climb it authentically.
Conclusion
Toxic positivity serves no one. Yes, it would be a more peaceful world if we could see the glass half full rather than half empty. But that also suggests that we all have some deep healing to do rather than to bypass it by getting involved in spiritual trends and useless modern mantras, such as, “You create your own reality.”
Some teachers argue that the earth is not a classroom where we come to evolve our souls. I believe that it is a classroom where we come to evolve. Again, I believe there is too much sidestepping going on because people don’t want to explore their darker emotions.
They’ve been told by their parents and teachers that they should be ashamed of even having those emotions. But face it, many of us grew up as neglected and abused children. Healing doesn’t happen overnight but we can still commit to our healing journey. And on that journey we’re going to feel darker emotions. Observe them and then allow them to go.
Darker emotions otherwise grow in intensity if we choose to ignore them or brush them away.
It’s time to stop shaming people who have a harder path to walk. While not everyone will wear the crown of thorns in their lifetime, they also won’t experience the depths of the soul or to evolve this round. For they made the choice to take a vacation from spiritual evolution. There’s nothing wrong with that until these folks living in a sensual world forget that others are walking a different path and are using their suffering to take them to greater heights.
