When pregnant with my son, I had an interesting conversation with a distant relative. This person looked at me with a scowl and asked if I was going to teach my child “weird stuff.” A bit of backstory – spirituality has been a huge part of my life, and this person considered spirituality idiotic, pointless and “weird” (to put it mildly). I initially thought, “Wow! That just happened.” I then composed myself and asked if they meant would I teach my child ways to be kind and loving towards himself and others? If so, then yes, I was going to teach my child “weird stuff.” If you are interested in “weird stuff,” then you might like my offerings.
The intention behind my work is to help people come into alignment with the deeper part of who they are: kind, loving, and whole spiritual beings having a human experience. It brings me great joy to offer alternate ways to perceive reality; specifically, to provide ways that help cultivate kinder and gentler internal landscapes. I do this through classes I teach about working with the formless realm (all of them touch on this to some extent), messages I bring forth from the formless, intuitive readings, and through flower essence work. Flower essences have been incredible catalysts for change in my life, as well as in the lives of many of my clients. They can help people be kinder and more loving towards themselves and others by shifting how they view themselves and the world around them.
As an example, let’s consider the word “weird” – there is often an air of judgment around it; like whatever is weird is fundamentally wrong, offensive, or unpleasant. A flower essence might inspire you to view the word in another way. If someone tells you that you live a “weird” life, you might hear the word and interpret it as you living a “wyrd” life. Both weird and wyrd are pronounced the same, but have different meanings. Wyrd is an esoteric concept often used in the northern tradition (i.e. the one associated with Odin, Thor, Vikings, and runes). Some translate it to mean your destiny or fate, but it is much more. Wyrd is an elusive force that connects all; it has been compared to an infinite web whose threads run through all in time and space. Everything and everyone is connected to this force, and the slightest movement in one part of the web impacts all.
There is a passage in The Way of Wyrd by Brian Bates that speaks about wyrd: “The forces of wyrd are like the winds and tides for a fisherman. If they are known, the sailor can trim his sails to adapt to them. He can be in harmony with the forces and use their power. But he cannot thereby change them.” Living a wyrd life can be thought of as being in flow with creation energy. You might not be able to change events in your life, but you have control over how you flow with them. Isn’t this type of wyrd more appealing than the “weird” label meaning strange or wrong?
Again, if you are interested in wyrd stuff, then you might like my offerings. Through my classes, written pieces, intuitive readings, and flower essence work, I provide tools that foster healing, kindness, and compassion. I offer ways to view and interact with the world that bring more serenity and balance to your days. These offerings help create bridges from the world of form to the formless realm. The formless realm connects and influences all, whether you consciously engage with it or not. It is behind all that exists. This realm is the place where true healing originates and the reason why essences can be so impactful. Essences come from the formless realm, a space that knows only balance and love; they extend this knowing in an appropriate way to those who engage them. Working with either essences or the formless realm helps untangle energies in your life, which results in more harmony with the web of wyrd.
