‘Everything in its Right Place.’ The Theory of Chaos

BY JEANNINE KIM

(cue Radiohead) Time to get serious about Spirituality. But not in a thinking, intellectual kind of way. A deep, walking-the-talk kind of way. Saturn is stepping into Pisces from March 7, 2023, through February 13, 2026. Over the next 3 years, we will be taking what we have come to know and believe about frequency, vibration, healing, and Spirit and weaving it into the nooks-n-crannies of our everyday lives.

All within our experience which is separate from our highest spiritual alignment, will become clear, being either integrated or dissolved away as we make room for our inner world to match the outer. In these moments, remembering... ‘Everything in its Right Place’ will soften the chaos, allowing for our fated evolution to flow, with a conscious mind and open-heart.

The energy at hand is a deeply internal one. In a state of grace, we will be brought to where we have held ideals for too long, seen much and many with rosecolored glasses of hope and promise. These will release, BIG TIME. The resources are here for us to surrender and

Life is Chaotic

BY JD SLAJCHERT

Life is chaotic. Our lives are thrust into the unavoidable blender of chaos each day as our eyes blink awake. I’d argue it’s the first thing we encounter when we swing our feet off our beds. And the irony is, that’s what makes us so lucky.

As a novelist, I’ve come to accept this as fact. I’ve learned that I have to work on the book I’m writing on the same days I have to visit the dentist or the DMV. I’ve become accustomed to writing on airplanes, buses, and trains. I’ve simply accepted that this chaotic world around me isn’t going to just stop because I decide it’s “writing time.”

Essentially, I came to realize that, no matter how important the story I’m crafting feels – and they always feel quite important – the world around me continues to ramble on. Sirens blare. Cell phones chime. Leaf-

make space for the incoming, concrete high-vibe to form our new, more stable... finally realized, earthly structure.

The Chaos Theory explores the transition between order and disorder AND, disorder always precedes order. Chaos then is a natural next step of falling down that rabbit hole of let-go, into the great unknown, while testing out our tools of relying upon our God… inviting our vibration & frequency to deliver us to precisely where we need to be, far away from ancient karmic storylines and dynamics.

Our Soul knows we are ready. FATE is here to level us up. 3 years of EMBODIED devotion, to become THE Soul Authors of our existence and THE Sovereign Masters of our Chi... in ways, we have only ever dreamed. a Jeannine Kim, Intuitive Reader and Medium, 5D Astrologer, Certified Yoga Instructor, Reiki and Certified Holistic Health Practitioner.

blowers blow. The world is loud, but the world is also colorful, daring, and simple.

As annoying and distracting as all this chaos can be, I remind myself to search for the beauty. I, instead, look for the synchronizing flash of car lights. I listen for the personal ringtones. I search for the wonderful dance leaves do in the wind. These simple yet powerful moments happen each day. But, like tiny pearls of treasure, we sometimes must dig to find them around us, hidden beneath the dirt.

I encourage any of you reading this to never give up searching for the beauty within the blender. I promise that, no matter how unlikely it may seem, it’s there. Life is chaotic, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. a

Chaos as an Agent of Change

BY RICHARD BONK, M.E d.

As I was out hiking today in my sacred space, I contemplated chaos and its place in the order of nature. In that moment chaos seemed far removed as the entire environment seemed to be balanced: a sunny, warming late winter day, snow melting slowly, spots of dark earth revealed, deeply rooted trees standing upright, branches bending and waving slowly in gentle wind ushering in a long awaited spring. All while the weather app on my smartphone warns of yet another approaching winter storm. Ahh – chaos –coming to once again challenge the status quo! I am reminded that from a larger perspective, chaos may be a necessary element in natural order – the catalyst for specie evolution and behind the physics of the Big Bang. Being that homeostasis, or the tendency to move toward and sustain balance, though necessary, can crystalize into strong structures inhibiting growth and novelty, it seems necessary for a counterbalance – natural systems need something to challenge and overcome what is outmoded – chaos!

Considering chaos from an astrological archetypal perspective, there are archetypes that represent structure: particularly Saturn, which reflects the process necessary to structure and sustain, though when left unchecked, can represent obstacles, even oppression. So to check and counterbalance, there are archetypes of change: Uranus, offering the shattering shock of the lightening strike; Neptune, and its liquid wash and dissolve; and Pluto; with its volcanic burn, leaving no stone unturned. It seems the Saturnian structuring is so strong, it requires various options to de-structure, to release the old so those long static elements can be repurposed for a renewed restructuring.

So above, so below: just as in nature, in our personal psychological growth and spiritual awakening it seems these natural, archetypal forces are operating. Can we become aware of the chaos within; to acknowledge, accept and perhaps engage in a manner that we can open to a catalyst that will shift, shake and shatter our outmoded aspects of self, so that a fresh, more responsive self may be structured to support a fulfilling Self realization? a

The Blessing that CHAOS Can Bring WITH

CAROLE HYDER

Being someone who knows the principles of Feng Shui in a deep way, I would have thought there was no room for chaos in this Chinese approach to space arrangement and energy. In fact, there are two characters in Chinese that mean "chaos." One is luan, which is typically paired with another character to describe an upended, unpleasant situation. When luan is paired with pa (pa luan), it means "fear." Paired with xiang (luan xiang), it means "crazy." The other character that is used for chaos is hun which implies the element of mud, a lack of clarity as in a muddy view, or something that interferes with a clear vision.

Obviously, Feng Shui dictates that there is an order to all of life – no mud, just clarity.

But then, we moved.

To avoid an anticipated chaotic experience, I began making decisions months before the move about what to take with us and what to let go. I could easily identify what I no longer needed, or used, or wore, or liked. There was little pain in releasing these items.

The next layer was a bit more difficult and took some consideration about whether to get rid of something or to move it with us. I kept what I absolutely could not relinquish for whatever reason, those items that would be part of my life "no matter what." After all, Feng Shui supports us loving everything we have, and I did.

Soon enough, I came to my senses. Not everything I loved so dearly would have a place in our new, smaller home. That's when chaos landed.

Last-minute decisions were made to let go of my "taking no matter what" items. Unrelated things were put

in the same box. Despite my initial attempt to number each box and log that number and the contents onto an Excel spreadsheet, in the end, items were put in wherever they would fit. There was no time to fuss with an inventory. I was suddenly in the midst of the one thing I had tried to avoid – chaos. The next few days in our new space turned into the "What's in THIS box?" game. Not only did we need to locate specific items, but we also had to determine where they were going to go. There were some treasures that simply didn't fit in our new home because they were too big, too small, didn't match the vibe, or there was nowhere to house such a thing. I had to do more releasing despite my efforts to have this phase completed by the time we moved.

We didn't know what to expect when the boxes were opened. Each one was a surprise. We were now in a place where we could smile, maybe even laugh a little, remembering the state we were in when we taped up some of these boxes. Some items amazed us as to how beautifully they blended in; others clearly had to find another home. It was clear that the personality of the space we were moving into was different than the personality of the home we were leaving.

The chaos during this transition, which I was trying to avoid, was the most memorable. Despite my efforts to avoid chaos, it was somehow freeing. I released expectations and allowed the involvement and assistance of the new space in determining how we were going to set up this new arrangement. Rather than attempting to re-create our old space in the new one, the new one let me know that things would be different going forward.

A little chaos shifted my expectations and opened my eyes. And THAT is good Feng Shui. a

It's Time to have a Conversation.

BY ZACHERY TEMP

In 2015, my mother was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer. It was just over a year later when she lost her battle. I don't want to pretend that I know cannabis would have saved her. However, I do know that cannabis could have helped with the side effects of her cancer treatment, in turn giving her body a fighting chance. Since working at Strains, I've meet customers in similar circumstances, and they have stated that very thing. Cannabis is helping their nausea, and they are eating

more, not to mention relieving pain and stress, which is much needed in these circumstances.

Additionally, for a few years, we have been hearing the whispers at family gatherings, weddings, or reunions from in-laws and grandparents asking about CBD or THC. Mothers are looking for recommendations for stress at home or menstrual pains. The most common issue people seem to have is sleeping, something cannabis has helped thousands with. Most folks would be surprised how many people in their life may be secretly using cannabis.

We have reached a point where a large number of the population have tried cannabis and found it useful for themselves or their loved ones. Cannabis has shown that it can provide relief for so many people with PTSD, seizures, or even anxiety that, so far, over 30 states have legalized medicinal cannabis use. Of those, 11 states plus Washington DC have legalized recreational use for adults. It has a wide range of medical properties and is a safer alternative to alcohol.

To some, cannabis is still seen as a drug, and changing that perception is done by getting the proper information to people, especially those who may be suffering needlessly. With that being said, our shop is located in a smaller, distant suburb of the Twin Cities, yet the support we've received from the community and the surrounding area is incredible. So it's clear that more people are more accepting of cannabis and seeing the good it can do.

At Strains of the Earth, we strive to break the stigma behind cannabis and educate people about its benefits. We provide a professional yet welcoming environment for anyone familiar or new to these products. We are also an active part of our community in both Jordan and Carver. Helping people is our main goal, and we continue to grow our own knowledge of how to do that.

Recently we expanded into a wider variety of holistic products. There has been a newer craze in the nation in the past few years, and we believe in the potentiality of mushrooms and their functional interaction with the body. To clarify, this is referring to regular mushrooms. Though, regular may not be a fair word to use. Many mushrooms have powerful ingredients that can have profound positive effects. For example, studies have shown that using a species named Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has improved cognition in individuals with mild Alzheimer's disease.

Mental health is finally getting proper attention, and natural products have shown promise in helping in this area. With the proper information, cannabis and many other products are being used correctly, and we can reduce the amount of overuse/abuse. Its therapeutic, medicinal, and even industrial and commercial uses continue to grow. a

Dandelions, weeds or blessings?

by WITCH JODI

Now that spring is here, the ground is thawing in the Midwest. We will start to see the green grass appear, and with it comes the blossoming of dandelions. For years these little yellow flowers were considered nothing but a nuisance and called weeds. People did everything they could to avoid having these little yellow things spread across their yards. People would poison them with chemicals and even pull them out. But do you know about the benefits of dandelions?

Over the years, the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) has been used in different ways, such as in culinary dishes, medicinally, and even in magical practices. I bet you have eaten dandelion leaves in salads at some point in your life. These bitter leaves are packed with nutrients and high in potassium and antioxidants. Some other health benefits of this plant include being a natural diuretic and digestive aid. The plant also demonstrates skin-healing properties and can be used as a natural skincare treatment, and contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties.

Here are some ways to use dandelions in your life to create a healthier lifestyle. For example, drinking dandelion tea can lower blood sugar, boost the immune system, reduce the risk of heart disease, improve circulation, and even help cleanse your liver of toxins.

The tea is generally made using the plant's root, but the leaves and stem can also be used. Although this tea is a great benefit to your health, you shouldn't drink it if you are taking antibiotics, as it can decrease the effectiveness of the medication. You should also avoid it if you are allergic to ragweed or related plants such as daisies, marigolds, or chrysanthemums because you will most likely be allergic to dandelions.

Did you know that you can make a salve from dandelion flowers? This salve is very nourishing for the skin. It relieves sunburn, heals minor scrapes, and even eases eczema. I should know since I've used it on my eczema for years. Dandelions are anti-inflammatory, and I make this salve every year as it is great to use for arthritis too. One more benefit of dandelion salve is that it's considered an

antibacterial and anti-fungal, so it works great on acne. You can find dandelion salve at Midwest Witchery and Healing.

When making the salve, you only use the delicate yellow flowers. I make sure that the dandelions that I use have not been exposed to any pesticides or herbicides, which is extremely important if you plan on making your own salve because you do not want to have these poisons mixed into your homeopathic medicine. Once again, I make my own dandelion salve every year. You can enhance your salve by adding different essential oils of your choosing to create a uniqueness to your salve. The salve shelf life is good for a full year. After that, I would not use it as it can lose potency or spoil.

Let's talk about how dandelions can be used in magical workings. The delicate yellow flowers represent the sun. You can use them when working with the God's energy, and it's very effective in ritual workings. Another great way to use this bloom is by using it in magic to help you with your creative expression by assisting you in coming up with fresh new ideas.

Do you need a little courage? The dandelion has been used for years in magical pouches and mojo bags to give confidence and bravery. Using dandelion tea in magic is a great way to enhance your abilities. Drink a cup before divination and see how it changes the way you do your scrying and tarot readings or even aids in your prophetic dreaming.

We have all used the dandelion in wishing spells throughout our lives. As children, it was a magical thing to make a wish and blow the fluffy dandelions into the winds. We watched as the wind carried away our wishes to a different time and place, and we waited for our wishes to come true. We will soon be celebrating Beltane, and this is a lovely little flower to place on your altar to bring joy and happiness. It also is a great representation of rebirth.

This little yellow flowering plant is way more than a nuisance. It has so many wonderful attributes that one can find a use for. So, when we have "no mow," May remember this little miracle flower.

Also, remember the symbolism of this plant represents the return of life in the spring, the rebirth of growth and green after the winter, and its beautiful display of abundant strength it shows by growing in the harshest places. Always consult with your medical doctor before using any herbal alternatives a

We Aren't Meant to Handle Things Alone

THE EDGE INTERVIEWS ACTOR DEDEE PFEIFFER

BY THE EDGE STAFF

Dedee Pfeiffer, an accomplished actor with years of experience in television and movies, recently sat down for an interview with Kelly Wagner and Brian Mariani. The trio hit it off so well during their pre-interview chat that they decided to hit record and continue their conversation for all to hear. The interview covered a wide range of topics, from Pfeiffer's show, "Big Sky," to aliens and the beauty of curiosity.

Pfeiffer grew up in Orange County in a blue-collar family with four kids. Her father was a high-functioning alcoholic, and her mother never drove. Pfeiffer was raised to believe that if she wanted something, she had to go out and earn it herself. From a young age, she held various jobs and saved up her earnings to afford the small pleasures in life that other children often took for granted.

At 18, Dedee's sister Michelle Pfeiffer was already in LA, working on the movie "Scarface." Pfeiffer found herself captivated by the art of acting and was eager to explore it for herself. Her sister suggested she join an acting workshop to see if it was really something she wanted to pursue. Pfeiffer couldn't afford the workshop, so she worked illegally as a cocktail waitress at a female oil and mud wrestling joint called Hollywood Tropicana. It was there that Pfeiffer began to cultivate her unique edge. During her time as a waitress, she was offered the opportunity to enter the wrestling pit with male competitors and wrestle for cash. Despite the temptation of easy money, Pfeiffer stayed focused on her goal of becoming a serious actor.

Pfeiffer's hard work paid off when she landed her first role in the TV movie "The Sky's No Limit." She went on to appear in numerous TV shows and films, including "Cybill," "For Your Love," "CSI: NY," and "Falling Down." Her most recent role is in the hit ABC show "Big Sky," which premiered in 2020. The show follows private detectives as they search for two sisters who have been kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote highway in Montana. Pfeiffer plays Denise Brisbane, the mother of one of the missing sisters.

Dedee's effervescent spirit radiated during the interview, as she recounted her experiences and the people she met on her unique journey to sobriety and the higher education she attained as an adult. Scan the QR code below with your phone to watch the full interview, and find out what made Dedee decide to finally get help with her relationship with alcohol.

The conversation then turned to aliens and the beauty of curiosity. Pfeiffer shared her own experiences with UFO sightings and her belief that there is more to the universe than what we currently understand. She encouraged listeners to stay curious and explore the world around them.

Watch the full interview for more of Dedee's insights into the industry and the importance of staying true to oneself. Her journey from cocktail waitress to an accomplished actress is a testament to the power of hard work and determination. a

Exploring vitamins, supplements and more following the guidance of subject matter experts.

BY TERESA COVER

Did you know that 90% of people are deficient in vitamin D3? Vitamin D is a powerful supplement our body needs to thrive and survive. If your vitamin D levels are optimal, it will lessen the chance of nearly 40 severe illnesses.

There are two kinds of vitamins, fat-soluble and water-soluble. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, and you should monitor the amount you take to ensure you don't take too much, as it can be toxic to the body.

Although the information varies, science says the average person needs approximately 7,000-9,000 IU daily for optimal maintenance. However, it is important to check with your doctor before adjusting your Vitamin D intake. A blood test is essential to determine the current levels of Vitamin D in your system before considering any additional amount.

Most individuals also need to adjust the amount they take in the summer. If you don't spend much time outside, you won't have to change the amount. However, if you spend a lot of time outdoors with a fair amount of skin showing, you should take less through the summer months.

Some benefits of optimal vitamin D levels include strengthening the immune system, preventing certain types of cancer, and boosting mood. It can also aid in weight loss, lower the risk of rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes, help lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of developing certain autoimmune conditions.

With all the toxic assaults our body and immune system face daily, everyone should make this an essential addition to their daily regimen. Vitamin D is also known to help the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus; both critical for building bone.

I know how big of a change the proper amount of vitamin D3 has made for my body which is why I encourage people to check their levels and consider adding it to their regimens. a

It was about two years ago this week that it was started to [really] sink in that Kelly and I had bought a struggling business. We knew we were up for the challenge, but we also expected some turbulence along the way (no coincidence that we selected Chaos for this issue's theme). I have had to learn to observe issues from new perspectives, find ways to improve my workflow, create new processes, and sometimes just ride the waves. With that said, we have also had to take responsibility for mistakes. One involved one of our authors, SchaOn Blodget, who felt our editing process changed the tone and grammar substantially from the originally submitted article.

Deactivating TRIGGERS

BY MAUREEN HIGGINS, MA

Most people have had some sort of trauma in their life. This is due to an extremely stressful event that the brain and body struggles dealing with. Some traumas can resolve on their own, over time, while many need professional help to get over.

Many times triggers develop due to trauma. This means re-experiencing symptoms of the trauma when exposed to reminders of it. Triggers are mostly unconscious and can take us off guard. They are typically stressful and emotional like the original event.

Triggers are formed because the brain doesn’t store traumatic memories like regular memories. The amygdala, the anxiety producing part of the brain, is also the part of the brain that passes memories to the hippocampus to be categorized and filed into short and long term memory. If an event is super stressful, the amygdala goes into anxiety and doesn’t pass the memory to the hippocampus. Instead, the memory gets flung into the unconscious so the person likely doesn’t remember the memory on a conscious level. Triggers are formed based on this lack of memory processing.

Many times the body gets triggered during the day of the year the trauma occurred – even if the person doesn’t consciously remember the date. Other types of triggers are words, smells, images, movies –anything that has a similar tone to the original trauma.

The big question is: How do you deactivate these triggers so they no longer bother you?

It’s helpful to know that a trauma has happened to you. This doesn’t mean you have to remember all the details. Getting out of denial helps the body to feel acknowledged so it can now let it go. Below are some strategies that may help your body let go of triggers. Ask your Higher Self/Spirit to be in charge of your healing process.

1. We all had help during traumas from our spirit guides – even if we don’t consciously remember them being there. Ask to remember this help along with asking them to bring in safety and healing so you can gently release the past. Meditating on your spirit guides is a good way to connect to them.

2. Look at your ancestry, and past lives, to see what traumas have occurred. You can do this intuitively, talk to relatives who know the ancestral history, or go to someone who can help you. Crossing over ancestors and past lives, who haven’t crossed over, along with clearing the energy field, can make a big difference in how you feel. This makes it easier to work on your current trauma.

3. Imagine going to the age the trauma occurred to talk to your younger self. See/feel/know/hear how he/she is doing. If there’s people who hurt you, ask to be fully resolved with them. Ask your body to let this experience go as you talk to your younger self and intend to let go of the people and situations that have hurt you. You can ask your younger self to merge with you if she/he is ready which is a soul retrieval. This means bringing back any parts of your spirit lost due to the trauma. A soul retrieval creates a permanent, positive change. Many times the younger self is ready to merge with you when he/she trusts your adult self. If they are not ready, ask them to come back to you over time.

4. Reverse affirmations. Your body holds onto old triggering messages due to traumas. To know what they are, journal about whatever comes into your head. This is called “free association.” After doing this, take a look at what you’ve written. What negative messages are being shown to you? Pick out three and write the exact opposite of the negative messages 20 to 30 times a day until the message feels neutralized. As soon as a negative message is neutralized, add another one to work with. Neutralizing three or less is optimal so that it speeds up how fast you transmute the messages.

We all have traumas at some point in our life journey. However, we are Divine Beings having a human experience. We are not our experiences – everything since we’re all interconnected. Let’s join hands and do this work together to create a better world. We are the Ones we’ve been waiting for! a MAUREEN HIGG I NS, MA.

Last month in March, I suggested you use the creative 3-vibrational energy to Create Your Future. Now that you have put your creative talents together in creating your future, it's time to plan how you will make it happen. Planning anchors your dream into the 3rd dimension of time and space where you live. Look at your creative dream for your future as a journey, a trip, or an adventure that you will be taking. This will give you a template to plan and work toward.

April's powerful 4-vibrational energy of grounding, planning, and building is designed to inspire you to make your plan and work your plan so that it will become real in 2023. Remember, 2023's vibrational energy is encouraging you to Know Thy Self so that you can create and build from who you are being as a naturally creative force of human design.

You already have a head start in your planning because you know what you want, and you know your destination. In March, you learned that when you have a visual image of what you want to manifest, you can look at it and hold it in your mind. This image reminds you of what it is that you want to hold in your hand. The next part of the plan is deciding when you want to start. I suggest if you don't know or aren't sure when would be the ideal time to get started, look at your personal numerology timelines for 2023. This will suggest optimum timelines. It also gives you hints about what to watch for, such as detours, bumps, or opportunities on the road.

As soon as you discover the best time to start your manifesting journey, you will be ready to begin. Starting is fun and exciting. However, keeping a growth mindset will give you the tools to avoid the detours and potholes when self-doubt and concerns about your success creep into your plans. When and if this happens, remember to use another one of your tools. Be grateful for all you have accomplished at this time in your life. This will support your belief that you can make things happen for yourself.

It's important to create milestones so that you can track your progress while traveling on the experiential highways of

Plan

Your Journey

your journey. Milestones on a personal manifesting journey are like reaching a planned destination on a road trip. When you reach a planned milestone destination, you stop and rest. As you look at your map, you take in all the successful travel experiences you just had. At each milestone, be sure to celebrate how far you have traveled. It becomes very rewarding to celebrate your successes.

Personal growth journeys can be challenging, and they can be fun. Creative planning is the secret to ensure they're fun. a

Matata,

THE CHAOS & CALM of Paranormal Investigating

BY GREG BAKUN

I used to enjoy a popular paranormal TV show on Discovery Plus. On one upcoming “new” episode, I saw that the crew was returning to a place I had always found fascinating: the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, Nevada. I’ve been there once, and that place is legit.

These paranormal celebrities started channeling who knows what, and each apparently got “taken” over. Something else supposedly was controlling their actions. They proceeded under “possession” to start tackling each other (at the location), and it basically turned into a chaotic wrestling match. I was embarrassed not only for them but for the whole paranormal community. It was clearly fake. That was one of the lowest points of paranormal television I have ever seen, and that’s saying something. It became chaos.

Chaos is something that can happen on location during a paranormal investigation. Energy is running high, and so are emotions. To do the work of an investigator, medium, healer, or whatever else is truly hard work. You need to keep your composure and sometimes “reel” people back in, so to speak. It’s our responsibility to keep fellow investigators and people at events safe. Sitting in a dark place with your senses compromised can do funny things to your brain. You may see stuff that isn’t there. Your senses are heightened. Noises that you hear everyday can suddenly be frightening because your surroundings have changed. Not everyone handles this well. Unlike the paranormal TV show I referred to earlier, when people lose their composure or “freak” out on an investigation, more often than not, they do so for a legitimate reason. It is our job, as seasoned professionals in our field, to do our very best to revert the chaos of an investigation back to calm.

Sometimes, the chaos brought into these locations from the outside is on purpose. I used to know a Medium who would “channel” and be taken over by spirit at locations. Ultimately, we noticed that she could hear what people were saying nearby her about a place or specific people attached to the area, and miraculously those people would suddenly be “channeled” by her. She was only giving the same information that we already knew and had just talked about amongst ourselves. It’s not too terribly different than what was happening at the Goldfield.

Then there was another person who occasionally got possessed during paranormal events. While being possessed, he would assault people. He would use that as an excuse to do nasty things to others. These events were calm until these individuals came in with their “energy” and literally brought chaos. To paraphrase

from a previous article, it’s not their story, yet they tried to make it their story, which in my opinion, is breaking the golden rule.

Is it inevitable that something can go wrong during an investigation? Absolutely! Is it chaos? It doesn’t need to be chaotic at all. Nobody is exempt from getting freaked out on an investigation. Things happen that catch us all off guard. What is important is not to go down the path of a chaotic response but remember that YOU are in control. Just try to calm yourself as much as you can and lean on everyone around you. You all should have each other’s back. You all should be able to keep your investigation safe. You are all a team! And remember, no wrestling on an investigation! a

I Helped a Mouse, and a Mouse Helped Me

written by LISA REINING

Animal communication is a gift I have developed and shared for the last six years. It's a rewarding practice, and I pride myself on helping humans and their furry or not-sofurry friends reach cooperative and healthy relationships.

This year felt like a curveball, and I realized there was a double-edged sword that comes with being an animal communicator. Recently my neighbor cut down a section of the forest on their land. The clearing was made so that a pole barn could be built. These events led to the inevitable eviction of mice from their homes, and they decided their new home would be my home!

My new residents didn't exactly move in with paper work and references. I realized my visitors were around when my cat began to catch them in my office. After tangoing with my cat, six little mice were found, and none were left alive. When I saw their little bodies, I felt terrible and blamed myself. I built my home to be a safe space for all living creatures, yet here I was, trying to fight against nature.

These lost lives stayed with me. Then a few weeks later, I had a doctor's appointment. My day was usual, nothing out of the ordinary, until I left the doctor's office and began walking to my car. I thought I saw something move and began to look closer. It was a little brown and white mouse. It came towards me from the passenger side of my car.

I started working with it to understand why it had come to me. It was dazed and communicated that it needed help. At first, I felt a mixture of shock and disorientation. I'm not usually confronted with emergency requests, so I felt I didn't know how to help this little creature.

In an instant, I asked it to move away from my car so that it didn't get injured when I drove away. At the same moment, the little brown and white mouse ran under my car, determined to get my attention and receive the help it requested.

I realized then that I wasn't calling the shots. So, I went around the car to the driver's side and told the little mouse to come out. It agreed, and when it showed itself to me, I told it to climb onto my shoe and that I would take it out of the parking lot to a grassy area where it could travel safely.

This little mouse climbed onto my shoe and patiently accepted its free ride to safety. When we both arrived at the grassy area, I told it to climb off my shoe, and it did. It thanked me for the help, and before leaving, I performed energy work on it for good measure.

As I was driving away, I realized that the little mouse didn't need me, but I needed it. I had felt so awful for the mice that lost their lives in my home, and I needed the chance to help something in order to heal the pain I felt for those six little mice.

As an animal communicator, it's all about the heartto-heart connection, and I know, in my heart, the little brown mouse was telling me that I may not have been able to help the other six mice, but I was able to help him. a Lisa Reining is a professional Animal Communicator, Akashic Records Facilitator, Medium, Reiki Master, Animal Reiki Master, and Teacher. Since 2009 she has studied and practiced several holistic healing techniques and continues to grow her expertise. Lisa is a published author and artist.
