“New & Full Moon Energy … Can’t Sleep!”

Posted on November 17, 2020 by Ellen E. Norman

Question
“Good morning, Ellen. I am just reading your Facebook post from yesterday about the New Moon in Scorpio. I did not sleep a wink last night. I am a mess. I usually sleep fine. This has happened two nights now in the last week. I am guessing it has to do with some of the energy I am currently feeling but wanted to reach out and see if you have any insight on this. I hope you are well.”

Answer
“Yes, the energy can be felt more intensely if aspects in your birth chart align with the new/full moon signs. New Moon in Scorpio … and you’re a Scorpio, right? So you’re more likely to ‘feel’ this one. Sometimes it means we are needing to further integrate the themes which are being highlighted or played out by the new/full moon energy. You’re experiencing some sort of ‘awakening’ process around those themes, and how they show up in your life.

“The laying awake at night really sucks; I can attest to that too. At new/full moon, I place a large piece of moonstone under my pillow at night; and sometimes carry a smaller stone in my pocket during the day. Google moonstone’s symbolism and applications. If you’d like to buy a piece, stop by Cast A Stone in Abington, or The Village Silversmith in Salem, if you happen to travel north; both have online ordering, too, and Village Silversmith is pretty extensive.

“If you’d like to take it a step further, consider a reading with an astrologist … I’d be happy to recommend someone local. Hang in there, and I hope you can get some quiet time or a power nap today!”

“I Tried a Virtual Reiki Session — Here’s How It Felt”

Posted on August 2, 2020 by Ellen E. Norman

Have you considered booking a virtual Reiki session? I continue to schedule readings and energy healing sessions via Zoom. Distance Reiki was well-practiced in our pre-pandemic world, and it’s especially helpful now. “Right now everyone is really emotionally unstable; we’re going through a lot. We don’t know how to direct our emotions, but one thing that Reiki does is it helps calm one’s self on an energetic level. It works on a subtle energy body, and your subtle energy body is the aura that surrounds you and serves as your emotional guidance system. Even though there’s chaos in the world, if you go in and you center yourself, you will be able to handle that chaos in a better way. You will be guided to make the decisions that are right for you.”

Beginning A Meditation Practice

Posted on November 15, 2014 by Ellen E. Norman

Meditation is a way for your soul to connect with God and the universe. Each of us needs this connection in order to feel nourished, complete and fulfilled.

When I first began channeling, Archangel Gabriel encouraged me to begin a meditation practice. I’ll be honest: The idea sounded ridiculous to me. I was a stay-at-home mom of three children, with one in school and two at home. I didn’t know where to start.

Archangel Gabriel suggested I sit on a comfortable chair, cross my legs, and put my hands — palms facing up — on my knees. He said this shows I am open to receive.

So, I tried it. At night, after my kids went to bed. And do you know what happened? I fell asleep. I’d go into meditation and fall asleep. Every time.

But the important thing was I tried.

I then asked my angels and guides to help me find other ways to meditate. Here’s what I realized. Meditation takes on many forms. I opened my mind in meditation when I took a walk outdoors; while I folded laundry; during my morning shower. I tried to clear my mind of scattered thoughts … and simply listen.

What did I hear? My voice. The voice of my soul. Intermingled with the voice of God and the angels. Encouragement. Ideas. Inspiration. Truths.

I also joined a Monday night meditation group at a local spiritual center. And that really got the ball rolling. Once I became more comfortable practicing within a group of likeminded individuals, it felt easier to try to meditate a little more at home.

The idea is to keep it simple, sister. Take baby steps. Begin with a meditation that lasts for five minutes; then, build up to 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes or more. Take a few deep breaths, clear your mind of thoughts, and listen.

Eventually you will slip into deeper and deeper states of meditation. And enjoy the many benefits of meditation, like reduced stress, better sleep, improved health, a greater sense of well-being and — ultimately — peace. In addition, meditation is an important tool in developing your intuition.

The key is to continue practicing.
