Why Twin-Flames Experience So Much Separation

Posted by Gabby Turner on Tuesday, April 6, 2021, In : Other Metaphysical 
Have you ever wondered why twin-flames experience so much separation from each other? The connection you have with your twin-flame is meant to help each of you ascend. You will experience periods of merging followed by periods of separation until each of you has managed to ascend to a level that will allow you to remain in a stable union.



When you and your twin-flame come together, it is like two flint rocks being struck together, creating a spark that will propel you further into your spiritu...

11 Tips to Increase Your Psychic Abilities! (Plus: 1 Tip for Decreasing Them?!)

Posted by Gabby Turner on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, In : Other Metaphysical 

                We are at a time in human history when many of us are experiencing a greater awakening of our psychic talents. Here are some of the ways of supporting greater psychic awareness that have worked for me.

1.) DRINK MORE WATER! Actually, I’m not always so great at utilizing this one myself, but I have to include it because it’s both true and easy to do. I learned this from psychic medium Steven Frampton years ago when I was attending his Intuition Development Class. He taught...

I Will Never Stop Loving

Posted by Gabby Turner on Wednesday, July 8, 2020, In : Other Metaphysical 

Life could just as well be fiction. Perhaps it is. It is. But it is a play we must play out.

               

                Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson never met, although they could have, and each in their own “queer” ways having changed poetry forever—untrapped the possibilities of it. Would they have even liked each other? Whitman, the bold political revolutionary (though literature classes have forgotten that of him) who lamented “I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don...

Lime Green in the Aura

Posted by Gabby Turner on Saturday, March 28, 2020, In : Other Metaphysical 

What Does it Mean to Have LIME GREEN in the aura?

                All of the loving, compassionate energies we commonly associate with the heart chakra (which is the green-colored chakra) will be present in anyone who has lime green in their aura. However, the lime-green shade carries its own specific energy as well.

                The person with lime-green in their aura is very creative—in fact they can barely contain their creative impulses. Inspiration comes to this person in sudden,...

Rumi and Real Love

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, January 27, 2013, In : Other Metaphysical 
I love the poet Rumi. I think many of us who tend toward addiction also tend toward desperate, chaotic attempts at "love," which in the end are not true, real, pure love from the heart. Love that comes of pleading and coercing is not real love. We cannot truly love another until we learn to truly love ourselves. How can I love myself today?


Love

Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
What do you know of Love except the name?
Love has a hundred forms of pride and disdain,...

Knowing Who's Crushing on Who: on Being an Empath

Posted by Gabby Turner on Friday, January 11, 2013, In : Other Metaphysical 

I've been very aware of other people's emotions ever since I was a child. I never realized there was anything particularly intuitive going on. I did often feel that I just "knew" certain things to be true but had great difficulty explaining why. "Just trust me, I can tell!" I would say to my friends, and simultaneously be frustrated because I was convinced they still would not understand. I had no idea this was an indication of intuitive ability though. I even remember when I was young, readi...

Happy 2013! Let's find your Personal Year Number. :)

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, January 6, 2013, In : Other Metaphysical 

Let me help you kick your year off right by teaching you how to find your “Personal Year Number” for 2013. According to numerologists this number will define the general theme for the year to come. If you'd rather do things the EASY PEASY way, visit one of the many Personal Year Number calculators on the web, such as THIS ONE. If you want to know how the math works follow along. All you need to do is add together the digits of your month of birth, day of birth, and the digits of the year....

Conscious Contact

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, January 6, 2013, In : Other Metaphysical 
Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

I don't necessarily think of God as a "him," but that particular wording issue aside, this is one of my favorite steps. I believe very strongly, and have for several years before joining Overeaters Anonymous, that there is always guidance available to us from "spirit," our "higher selves," from "God" or "t...

Past-Life Issues Resurfacing in the Dreamworld?

Posted by Gabby Turner on Friday, November 2, 2012, In : Other Metaphysical 

Spirit is that voice that whispers into our intuitive ear, and sometimes she has a strange way of doing it. Dreams can be a real warehouse of intuitive information, but unless you are someone who enjoys symbolism, the poetry of dreams can often end up seeming like a jumble of unnecessary madness. I had a very strange dream last night, and had almost chalked it up to just that: "what a weird dream!" but when I decided to write it down I realized how pertinent it was to my waking life and emo...

What is Ascension? Interview with Theresa Richardson

Posted by Gabby Turner on Friday, May 25, 2012, In : Other Metaphysical 

 

Last year I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Theresa Richardson about the Ascension process. At the time, we were leading into 11-11-11, and so some of this interview deals with the significance of that date as well. If you find yourself ever asking "What is Ascension?" then Theresa's wise words should be of great help. I personally found her to be very insightful. Theresa is a Reiki Master and a Channel of higher beings such as the Archangel Gabriel and the Lady Nada.   

What is As...

Redwood Medicine: My New Year's Totem

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, January 1, 2012, In : Other Metaphysical 
   

    I am very attracted to Shamanic means of connecting with nature. When we connect with a plant, animal, stone, landscape, etc. in a shamanic way, I believe there is a mutual exchange of healing and sharing of wisdom. Today, as I have been contemplating both who I want to be in this newest of years and what I want out of life from this moment forward, the image and wisdom of Redwood presented itself to me. Totems need not only come in the form of animals. There are totem plants as well....

The Healing Process and Owning Up to the World I'm Creating

Posted by Gabby Turner on Monday, December 12, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
   
    In some ways it would be easier if I did not recognize that my thoughts create my reality. Because then I could continue to live from a victim mentality, from a blame-someone-else mentality, and not have to own up to the world that I have created for myself. I could say, "these are the horrible circumstances that have been laid upon my head, and woe to me, there is nothing I can do about them."

    But the more I awaken, the more I am aware that I do have to own my perceptions ...

I Set My Orange Flowers in a Boat and Send Them Off to Heaven

Posted by Gabby Turner on Monday, September 26, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 


I set my orange flowers in a boat and send them off to heaven.
I feel heaven raining down in drops of orange-scented love.
--Gabby Turner

This song is meant to be sung with the first line repeating 8 times, followed by 8 repetitions of the second line. That form is inspired by the singing I've been doing at the Kirtan and Meditation I go to twice a month. Devotional singing/chanting does not need variety, so much as devotion! The meaning is not lost through repetition, it is transcended, so that...

Dream Life: Bleeding Heart

Posted by Gabby Turner on Monday, September 19, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
  
    Last night I dreamt that I was on some school campus, and was a part of some larger campus community. There was a girl who had just committed suicide, and perhaps I was nearby when it happened and I was hit with a stray piece of bullet, but I had a chest wound in this dream. I don't remember actually seeing the suicide though, so maybe it was just the general irrational work of dreaming that caused me to have this bleeding wound in my upper chest. I kept walking around, holding my shir...

Awakening and Clearing the Foot Chakra: Personal Experience and Resource Information

Posted by Gabby Turner on Friday, June 10, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
    I've been experiencing an opening up of my foot chakra lately, and if you experience tingling/heat/sparking sensations in your own feet, you may be doing the same! Until recently, I was barely aware that I even had a thing called a foot chakra. This changed a little over two months ago when I took my first Shamballa Multidimensional Healing class. Shamballa is a form of energy healing that is similar in some ways to traditional Usui Reiki and that shares some of the same principles and to...

How Qigong Gave Me a Better, Longer Orgasm: a PG-Rated Story of Holistic Fitness

Posted by Gabby Turner on Tuesday, June 7, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
        I'm not above using sensationalism to get people to read my blog entries. :) I say PG because this account is far from pornographic, though I do use the word "orgasm" many times, so if that bothers you you may not want to read further.  :)
        In late 2006 I entered a deep depression that changed my life in many ways, one of which was that it dampened my orgasms so that I was not able to experience the catharsis that I had used to feel with them. It was a depression that I feel lik...

The Law of Attracting Greed?

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, June 5, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
        So last night I watched The Secret. I do believe the basic premise of the Law of Attraction makes sense... and I have seen prayer work in the same basic way (you are grateful for what you have, you ask for what you'd like and have faith that it will come to you in the universe's own way, and if it is the best for you). What I don't understand about the Law of Attraction is that it doesn't really matter whether or not what you are manifesting is good for you or not: you'll get it...

MetaQuizzical Lady Sings a Tune

Posted by Gabby Turner on Wednesday, May 25, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
Want to Be

A snake doesn't worry that it used to have that skin it shed.
I want to open... like a thousand-petaled lotus in the sun.
I want to live... and let the past roll out behind me.
I want to give... all of myself to the dark edges of eternity.

Want to Be sung by yours truly 

I write little song snippets every now and then (sometimes they graduate into full songs, usually not) and then I enjoy singing them poorly. ;)

Can Corporations Be Healed and Still Be Corporations?

Posted by Gabby Turner on Saturday, May 21, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
    Many spiritual teachers or healers, even now myself, offer their services to corporations. I, for instance, have just begun offering Reiki Group Healing services to organizations--which theoretically could include corporations. A fairly successful medium whose Intuition Development Circle I attend on Tuesday nights recently told our circle that when he began his Spiritual/Mediumship business he did so with the intention of "making corporations more spiritual." I wonder, though, when peopl...

Cleaning Up the Cosmic Attic: Healing the Unconscious Desire to Destruct

Posted by Gabby Turner on Wednesday, May 18, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
       

        Despite the amazing capabilities of our minds, we humans seem to have an impressive urge to be blind to anything that is overly difficult or incomprehensible. We relegate these things to our subconscious—the attics of our minds. In the past year, our global community has been immensely impacted by disaster to an extent that we had yet to experience, but even the BP Oil Disaster and a nuclear meltdown in Japan can’t seem to hold our attentions. We are continually in a proce...

Dream Life: Pennies from Heaven!

Posted by Gabby Turner on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
    Monday morning I woke from a long series of interconnected dreams. In one of them I was in an upscale, crimson-upholstered auditorium of some kind. Various real and imagined people from my life and past were there among the rows of chairs as very large coins floated down toward us from the ceiling, rotating slowly as they came. I was very involved with collecting my own stack of coins, mostly noticing the others from my visual periphery where I saw them also eagerly holding up their arms ...

Healing Herbs: Cilantro Pesto

Posted by Gabby Turner on Monday, April 4, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
    I'm certainly not trying to pass myself off as either an herbalist or a nutritionist here, but I do know that herbs are immensely nutritious and healthy. Pesto is a great way to prepare herbs, and the traditional sauce is made with basil, but basil is difficult to find in bulk and is also a little pricey. Last year I attempted growing some but the plants barely got off the ground. It's a tricky plant to grow, except for my next-door-neighbor, who won't share with me even though his plants...

Homemade Holistic Kitchen Cleaner: Lime & Lavendar Anyone?

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, April 3, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
    My best friend and I make homemade cleaner with white vinegar and essential oils, and I'm sharing the (very easy!) process of making this cleaner with you because it's a.) environmentally friendly b.) animal and people-friendly (aka, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and not a breathing hazard) c.) it cleans my kitchen counters better than ANY commercial chemical cleaner EVER has d.) it's cheap to make and e.) it has the added holistic-healing benefit of aromatherapy! Read on for the easy "rec...

Prana Energy: I want to live, I want to give!

Posted by Gabby Turner on Wednesday, March 30, 2011, In : Other Metaphysical 
    Lately I have been actively trying to draw-forth and utilize prana energy, which is available in never-ending quantities but which many if not most of us fail to fully vitalize ourselves with. Prana is the life-force energy that makes living more present and joyful. The following painting (by Scott Edward Harrington from the Google Creative Commons) is an excellent image of what living fully engaged with prana energy can be like.



    I was listening to Neil Young's Heart of Gold tonight as...
