Black Moon Solar Eclipse

Our Last full moon was a blue moon lunar eclipse. The power harnessed was intense and ripe with releasing energies. We looked at the people places things and habits that were keeping us stuck and agreed to replace them with healthier choices. And now we begin anew in these choices anchoring in our creative abilities enhanced by the power of no moon at all. It is still intense energy ramping up in preparation for the 2nd blue moon of this year which will occur in March.

A New Moon is a great time to set your intentions, write down goals or begin new projects for the forthcoming cycle.  In addition a BLACK NEW MOON is an auspicious moon that amplifies your intentions & inner-most heartfelt desires for the cycle.  It is a powerful New Moon for alchemy and creative manifestation. Now is the moment for self love self reflection and self care. Its great if you have a partner, but if you don't it doesn't mean you are not worthy of one. Focus on the things you need to clear our and who you need to become to attract them in. It all starts with releasing what no longer serves us to make room for what does.

A black moon occurs when it is the 2nd new moon in a cycle or no moon in 1 month. 2018 is an 11 year in numerology and one of warped speed creation. We are being given a second chance at new beginnings amplified and further enhanced by no moon at all in Feb. 

We can harness the energy of the moon to create the life we want. Usually, Its energy is most potent the day before the day of and the day after it rises, but in this case because there is no moon rising in February~ the entire month becomes a breeding ground for manifesting. 

This solar eclipse just intensifies it all.  It means all possibilities are on the table and you can rightly put yourself in the forefront of new plans for the future. It is time to question your old habits and behaviors as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress. This is the ideal time to make a fresh start, so write your new goals down on a sheet of paper.

FYI we are moving out of the FIRE ROOSTER into the EARTH DOG which offers further support.

With a Sun and Moon in the same sign Aquarius during the week of love and a solar eclipse, it really begs to bring up the concept of masculine and feminine qualities and how this relates to self love. 
We've got alot to think about. Many will enter a cocoon and be reborn again, I am one of them, see you on the other side.

Journey Well my friends!

Breaking Away from Spiritual Abuse

2/7/2018

Spiritual Abuse is Real

It is in our cells to be naturally supportive. Human kind is far more creative rather than destructive~ as we have been lead to believe. We want to be supportive in our spiritual community bot not to the point of enablement.

It's a hot mess when people know you have a good heart and take advantage of it. But Its even worse coming from someone in a position of authority within a church or a spiritual community. Its an even hotter mess when the person is not even in a position of authority but using the church to funnel people into their business who are desperately looking for a spiritual community to belong to. This is covert narcissism.

More and more people are seeing the money signs around the Spiritual Movement in America right now and taking online courses assuming the position of authority and manipulating people to attend their classes with marketing tactics. Often times, these people are felons with a criminal history that would keep people far away from them. But how would someone know, if the supposed spiritual leader doesn't even give people their real name? This happened to the Spiritual Community of Saint Petersburg, Florida and I went through a significant amount of Spiritual Abuse with one particular person... To learn more about my experience with her read my blog When Lightwork Becomes Darkwork.


I learned so much about Spiritual Abuse, narcissism, sociopathy, psychopathy  and the lords of the Dark Realm right here in Saint Petersburg that I wanted to share some suggestions when you suspect spiritual abuse:

👉Choose your Spiritual Leaders or Teachers Wisely 👈

True Leaders NEVER hide their true identity
:::
Ask your teacher what their real name is. Do they have history of evolution from the past or did they take an online 3 day weekend warrior course and label themselves a master?  It doesn't matter how many years you've been doing something, what matters is how many hours you've put into it professionally. 

👉Never let anyone make you feel less than. 👈

Please do not follow people blindly.
​:::
If something doesn't feel right, it isn't right. Trust your intuition and inner guidance.The ill intended only care about money. You can't buy these people's love. They will milk you dry before they ever love you.  People, please, wake up. It is a rare occasion that someone heal from all Karma and trauma in a 3 day intense workshop for only $444. Don't believe the hype.

👉Do not allow someone to take advantage of your loving heart👈
​
Spiritual strength is evident in a person's actions or lack there of.
::::
Anyone claiming to be spiritually advanced has no room for using fear tactics to keep clients, display covert narcissism and justify their actions with an "I know my truth". This is called black magic, DARK WORK and it needs to be addressed asap. Using spiritual principles to justify your actions is gaslighting. Period.  Preying on the weak willed is abuse. Period.

👉Do not allow yourself to be fooled by clever branding, sparkly tools nor magical conversation! 👈
::::
These people hook you in and if you try to attempt to be their friend, they will keep you at a distance because they don't want you to see their real and true selves. Which is often times in stark contrast to the image they display.


👉Speak up and Speak Out👈

Step into your greatness. This city, this world needs you, right now.
::::
Do not be afraid of their retaliation. There are many people in the spiritual community aware of the abusers that are diplomatically assessing the situation before they take action, believe this. Never approach them alone once you suspect what they are up to. If anyone responds to questioning with egotistical behavior, it is clear they are still stuck in fear based living and a poverty mindset. If you try to hold someone accountable and they use spiritual principles to gas light, spiritually bypass, or push it back on you with that extremely toxic~ it's a reflection of you statement~ see it for what it is. This is most certainly NOT a reflection of you. This is a warped view of mirroring that allows abusers to use their victims as scapegoats. ​ True leaders allow their team to call them on their shit and love it. They know it makes them better and stronger. Be a leader, not a follower.


WE are all on different paths and different paces and yet ego based living has no place in the spiritual community other than being acknowledged as a portion of our path that must be healed.

In conlcusion, spiritual abuse is real and you are not crazy! When a leader displays money obsession, putting other teachers down to lift themselves or their classes up; this falls into the realm of an unhealed shadow. We all have shadow selves but it is hypocritical to teach someone how to heal if you have not spent time healing yourself. Or worse, proclaiming you have mastered your shadow and healed from all past trauma, but no one knows your real name nor your true past.


There are many people spiritually awake who shouldn't be in positions of power because they are abusing it. it is possible they haven't faced their shadow nor come out of the Dark Night of the Soul. And the worse part? They are co-signing on each others BS making them seem more legit than they really are. This is dangerous, especially when the rest of us are still finding our voice and learning how to expose ourselves to the world as a safer option.  This is our time to rise up and band together and expose the harm being caused in the spiritual community by these abusers. Its easy to spot them. Trust your intuition. If something doesn't feel right, it isn't. Don't worry about hurting someone's feelings. Instead worry about the people being harmed by their practices.

Shitty behavior, is a shitty behavior by choice.
In all spiritual communities we have adopted Love as our religion. Anyone handing our love as a reward or punishment system for attendance in paid classes or not is not to be respected as a Spiritual Leader. This is a scam artist. And they must be held accountable. Keeping quiet enables people to remain shitty.

"Healing + spirituality isn't making money off people desperate for love, comfort, + clarity.

You can't sell those things.

Don’t get me wrong: charge for your time. But you can only go so far before it’s taking advantage of ignorance and desperation and no longer genuine or serving to anyone."
Rachel Filippazzo

This statement appeared on my Facebook timeline in November of 2017 and it literally summarized my entire year. 
::::
As you can see, I'm not the only one who went thru this in 2017

Spirituality is based on love, NOT FEAR!

Question Peoples Motives

I got the opportunity to work up close and personal with an individual in our spiritual community in Saint Petersburg, Florida whose members complained to me about repeatedly for an entire year. Before I got involved, I was thinking, she can't be that bad. These people must be jealous of her success. So I dove in head first only to find out really slowly, not only was what people were saying about her true, it was actually a lot worse than they had described. And, she wasn't the only one displaying unsavory  behavior and practices. I was more intrigued than anything else, curious about what she had to offer and I admit, I allowed myself to be charmed by the magical conversation and sparkly personality. But it had a serious darkside that would show itself from time to time. She would frequently do things that were not at all spiritually based, in fact, ego based and when I would call her on it, she would say, "I know my truth!" I was baffled at what appeared to be her successes with that kind of shadow.

Every time I questioned her ethics, offered counsel on how to handle a situation diplomatically~ she pushed me away using spiritual bypassing and to keep me at a distance.  Except for when it involved me spending money on her classes. I started to notice she didn't have repeat clients and people who had been supporting her before I arrived on the scene began to keep their distance. And yet I continued to support her wondering why these people were no longer supporting her?
I was in denial with every bit of proof. I refused to believe someone could serve both darkside and the lightside. The truth is you can't. But you can pretend to serve the lightside while actually serving the darkside.


And the worse part, she had a team of people who all felt similar [wondering about her actions] yet still enabling her to stay this way. Why?
M O N E Y, status and and a genuine desire to study in metaphysics. There seems to be a collective reasoning in the spiritual community. The inner thought process appears logical; If so and so says she's legit, than she must be. Its part of the charm. Lure them in, ask them to write a review about their experience "if they feel guided" and then it began to unfold. What appeared to be person after person loving what she had to offer. But its not the whole story.

I tried so hard to have a heart to heart with her. She denied me over and over. When I realized I could no longer talk sense into her and that in reality, I was actually enabling her -
​I backed off but not before realizing... Her behavior is Cult behavior. And it broke my heart, really.

When Spirituality Goes Dark


The Thin Line Between Spiritual and the Occult

I wondered, how could people operating like this be allowed to thrive? I've never seen anything like this. People are flocking to the spiritual community to get away from the abuse of the world. Only to be reminded that nowhere is safe from ego once money gets involved. Phone call after phone call, I am still receiving complaints [about how she operates] from people who think I still support her. Yet no one has gone public with it out of fear of retaliation from her. I am NOT afraid.

This blog is not about her, per se, it's about her path and how she is leading it!

Like my friend Kelley Kline says, "all paths are honored but not all paths are divine!"


Picture

​This is my truth, my experience but most importantly, the experience of many many people who have gone thru the same with her. Not just her, there are others. 


In my up close and personal observations and experiences with her I learned a few things about why the darkside is allowed to thrive.  

1. It's part of the what we don't want experience that leads us to what we do want
2. When we begin to awaken we realize everything in 3d is an illusion and we do need support to heal the wounds of the past to prepare the body for ascension.
3. Spiritual Abuse is very real.

​To learn more about Spiritual Abuse read my blog, Breaking Away From Spiritual Abuse.


And people like her, this is what they are thriving on~ the money of the newly awakened who haven't fully stepped into their power.

This is not the case with me, I am not newly awakened. I had my first experience outside of religion with my gifts at age six and first spiritual awakening age 9. Long before spirituality was trending when there was no need for the word spiritual bypassing.

This is why I am able to see with clarity what the intentions are. There is no mistake in my observation. But you don't have to believe me, you can find out for yourself.
​
This person (and others who see the $$ potential of the current spiritual awakening) is using the way of the times (clever spiritual branding, a flashy website and sound knowledge of SEO & how social media works) to funnel in those who follow blindly. The weak willed lookong to belong to a part of something greater than what they have previoualy experienced. 


It is a deception of the worse kind. 

And it makes all Spiritual Leaders and Energy Medicine Practitioners look bad. How so?
1.Because support and love are not given nor taken away like some kind of reward or punishment system.
2. Spirituality is not a cash cow.
3. There's nothing enlightened about threatening to remove someone from enrollment in future classes for cancelling an appointment without a refund. 
4. Abandoning supporters if they get sick, or run out of money is not spiritual in the slightest.


​All four describe cult behavior. Who would know different if they were bullied into staying in one circle?

Defining True Spirituality

Melania's Healing Edge
Cause No Harm in the Process
Spirituality defined simply is ~YOUR connection to all that is, as it is. Period. You don't need a teacher, guru, pastor, nor High Priestess to show you the way!

Anyone claiming to be the ultimate or only source of [accurate or quality] information is what is referred to as a fake, charlatan (words used to help others understand not intended to judge). By the way, in case you didn't know, Spirituality requires no theatrics. We are living in the time of the empowered human.


​👉The most powerful person in your life, is YOU.👈 Your body's ability to heal itself is far greater than you have been taught to believe


​Healers, coaches, Pastors, we are merely tool sheds of wisdom to draw from. Do NOT rely on anyone/anything as the ultimate source of information,
​IF YOU ARE,  it means you have been charmed.
Melania's Healing Edge death of ego
Love your Ego, its the only way to Kill it

Be a Leader Among Leaders

There are many people spiritually awake who shouldn't be in positions of power because they are abusing it. it is possible they haven't faced their shadow nor come out of the Dark Night of the Soul. And the worse part? They are co-signing on each others BS making them seem more legit than they really are. This is dangerous, especially when the rest of us are still finding our voice and learning how to expose ourselves to the world as a safer option.  This is our time to rise up and band together and expose the harm being caused in the spiritual community by these abusers. Its easy to spot them. Trust your intuition. If something doesn't feel right, it isn't. Speak up and speak out. Gather with friends if you don't feel safe.

Don't worry about hurting someone's feelings. Instead worry about the people being harmed by their practices.

These extraordinary times are asking each of us to roll up our sleeves and manifest a better world.
