According to polls over 30% of Americans consider themselves spiritual but not religious. Are you one? I am. When I first saw this statistic, I was amazed. I thought, what a huge proportion of the population! I mean, consider that in the face of the fact that only 22% of Americans consider themselves Republicans or 24% of Americans consider themselves to be Catholic. A staggering number of individuals are spiritual but not religious.

We are HUGE! But, are we really similar?

What do you do or believe that makes you spiritual but not religious?

A spiritual attachment is energy from another person, actually another spirit as we are all spirits, that has attached itself to ours. A lot of my work with clients has to do with removing these attachments. Before going on to the most common types, I want to say a few words about the nature of spiritual attachments. We all have them. They block our energy in various ways. Spiritual attachments that come from another person have to do with an unresolved emotional connection. It can literally be anything, love, hate, lust, jealousy, envy, desire, trauma, you name it. The point is that the energetic attachment is formed by the persistent and not fully resolved emotion. These energetic attachments hook into us like a harpoon into a wale and keep us from swimming freely through the ocean of our lives.

I will talk about particular aspects of attachments in other blogs. For now, here are the most common sources.

Family: This is by far the most common source. It makes sense, of course. For most of us, the most important figures in our lives, especially the formative years, are family. We also often have intense, suppressed, and long-lasting emotions regarding family. Spiritual attachments to family members often go the deepest and can have profound implications to ones life and happiness.

Current and Ex Lovers and Spouses: Definitely a strong second. Passion, love, lust, rejection, anger, hurt, and desire are strong energies that form strong spiritual attachments. Like family, lovers and spouses, both past and current, can be responsible for deep and significant spiritual attachments.

Friends and Acquaintances: A distant third. There are many different levels of emotional intensity in seemingly casual relationships. The vary nature of the relationship being casual means that you may not have a lot of insight into the undercurrents in the other person. So, you can easily become an unwitting victim of their anger, mistrust, envy, or indeed, their desire. All of theses emotions can form energy attachments from their spirit to your spirit.

Coworkers, Bosses and Employees: Many of my clients are business owners or executives. I am sometimes amazed by the sheer number and weight of attachments they have from their employees. Of, course it works the other way too. I have to pull off the bosses or the manager’s attachments from employees as well. Typically these attachments are very minor. Not something that would significantly effect the course of ones life, but never the less, a drag on the system and a lightening of the load when they are gone.

Now, for an interesting tidbit. It doesn’t seem to matter how long ago these attachments were formed. They can last decades and dare I say it, lifetimes, but that is another topic. Also, since these are essentially spiritual attachments, they can and often do persist after death. However, removing them works the same either way.

There are also less common sources of spiritual attachments that I will address in other blogs.

I hope this is interesting and helpful to some of you. You can find more about spiritual attachments and spiritual development in my book Soulbaby: A Spiritual Odyssey

Thank you.

It has been my pleasure and my privilege to be able to work with the Muslim women who have booked my services. As you know, people of all religions and those who do not subscribe to a religion are all welcome in my practice.

People who associate themselves with a particular religion often have a true purpose that is in line with the spiritual energy of their religion. It is clear for me to see when I work directly with their conscious energy. This has been the case with Muslim women with whom I have worked.

However, I have noticed something very interesting and unique with Musilm women. There is a huge amount of spiritual energy being transmitted through the spiritual hierarchy of Islam, directly to women within the faith. This energy is bypassing the traditional gatekeepers and going directly to the sisterhood. The energy itself is not particularly feminine, but it is definitely being transmitted specifically to women.

The message is simple. “Connect to the Great Love. Let the Great Love empower you to spread Peace.”

There is an enormous wealth of power and intelligence within the sisterhood of Islam. I say “sisterhood” because that is how it was presented to me during our sessions. There is a general desire among the higher spirits in the Islamic hierarchy for these women of power and intelligence to unite in the cause of receiving the Great Love that is being transmitted to them and using it for the purpose of spreading peace.

This is a spiritual message not a political message.

“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.” When Jalal al din Rumi wrote those words in thirteenth century Persia it is unlikely that he had any idea of the vast array of career and life choices available to a twenty-first century human being. With the staggering number of career possibilities and life paths available to each of us, how do you know what is truly right for you?

My work with clients, in the spiritual realm, has given me a unique perspective on career, purpose, and spiritual path. We are all blessed with free will and the ability to decide things for ourselves. This gives us ample opportunity to follow our desires for career, to make decisions about pursuing our life’s purpose. The difference between fulfilling a purpose and fulfilling a desire is: Fulfilling your desire serves you. Fulfilling your purpose serves all, including yourself. One of the keys to happiness is learning to align your desires with your purpose. So far, so good, but you can read this same idea in a thousand self-help books. What about my unique perspective?

The ability of being able to look into another’s spiritual energy system has given me a few insights I wouldn’t have had otherwise:

There is spiritual energy available to help you fulfill your life’s purpose. That means if your career choice is in line with your purpose, the spiritual energy will be there to help you succeed. You can tap into this energy only when you are on the path of your purpose (but, not before).

You have a positive effect on other people and even other spirits when you are fulfilling purpose.

Not all of your desires coincide with your life’s purpose, sad but true. Get over it and get on with it. The clock is ticking on your temporal existence.

When you insist on pursuing your desires over your purpose, you end up causing misery for yourself and others, even if you have the outward appearance of success.

Most people have one or a few specific purposes to fulfill not hundreds or thousands, so your real options may be fewer than you think.

You have been or will be lead to your purpose. In fact if you’re not already on it, you have likely considered it, if not acted on it already. Because, like Rumi wrote, somewhere within your heart is the desire to serve your true purpose.

When you are fulfilling your purpose, you are on your spiritual path. Church, religion, and prayer optional.

A happy career is one that is aligned with true purpose and therefore is congruent with your spiritual path

It always gives me a great feeling when I am able to help someone identify their purpose and get onto their life path or career path. It’s one of those good for me, good for you things. Maybe it’s part of my purpose?
