Desert Rose Sanctuary

Look at her face the darkness, the tear. Her soul parishes piece by piece, she looks at the stars, now pondering the moment she started giving up your soul. She has gifts that she's hidden, the truth never told. Living in the world,  isolated, and alone. The sun now shines washing away the fear, spirit lifts, the energy begins. She casts the spell, throws the rune stones, gathers the herbs, prays to God, welcomes talking to the Angels. Now one with the universe, and the truth.                    Michele Lynn'e

What does it mean to be empathic?  I'll tell you what it means for me:  I'm badass, I feel things at a different level.  I'm overly sensitive, I care too much.  I'm in your head and you're in mine.  My feelings are easily hurt.  Powerful smells, voices, and loudness will drive me to insanity.  I never want to feel trapped.  I have to be in control of situations so I can either physically or emotionally escape.  I can have addictions that work as a defense to my psyche, however, hurt me more.  Do not try to tell me tall tales, I already know your lying, and it's too late.  I can't be around negative, or hurtful people I will die inside.  If I'm around love, and care I'll grow because I've been nurtured.  I'm a healer and good at it, I feel what you feel.  I care for you on a different level than most.  My gift is both a blessing and a curse.  I always need to remem...

The moment that you realize nothing you do helps, darkness envelops you. Each day is fast becoming like all the rest. You live in the same house, have your family, coworkers, and friends, yet it feels miles apart as if you're floating alone in the ocean on a piece of driftwood. You hear the soft slapping of waves against the wood as it lulls you, you pray to fall sleep as you drift into the abyss of spiritual crisis. Sleep is the refuge from pain as you know not what the depths of depression will bring,  it pains you so. When will the sadness, and pain just disappear, like a shooting star? Often I thought that I would give up my soul to acquire inner peace. Dare not as then surely the emotions would thunder as first I curse my name for doing so, followed by thunderous weeps heard all the way to heaven, yet I sold my soul to the devil. Of course, this is all metaphorical, nevertheless, when in a spiritual crisis, it is not another person's task. You should ask for guida...

I may not be an authority on Anxiety, nevertheless, I suffered for years. I'm writing this in hopes that if you have Anxiety this article can give you hope. Looking back I have know idea when my Anxiety started, I do, however, remember the first time I had an Anxiety attack. I was in the middle of a shopping mall when all of a sudden my head was throbbing, all my senses became heightened, everyone's perfume started blending, their voices all so loud, and distorted. Next, I feel a drop of sweat trickle from my forehead, suddenly I'm standing paralyzed by fear in the center of the mall as people just keep bumping into me. I panic, yet I can't move. My mother looked for over an hour until she spotted me, looking at me in disbelief. We saw our family doctor a few days later, he dismissed the incident as being overheated, and highly sensitive. For years I never went to malls, didn't do any public speaking, wouldn't attend parties, would not confront anyon...

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die: whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness." Gilda Radner During the holiday we often feel as if our spirit is dying as we ponder holidays from the past, and drift off to a realm of sadness. Just today as I hung the Christmas ornaments on the tree I broke down and wept for the Christmases past. I now soulfully go back in time to my two young brothers, Troy and Mark as I never even had a Christmas with them, as they went to heaven very young. My brother Hank and I always felt the holiday would have brought them joy. The men in my family, my grandfather, and my father both died too young, one of them the life of the celebration, and the other expert at teachings of the true holiday spirit moreover, they both kept all of us crazy women in line, (as we liked to argue a lot). Now as I hang an ornament that says granddaughter, I feel broken, she was t...

"If you have a life, you have purpose"                             Carolyn Myss Have you ever wondered what your life path is supposed to be? It seems like some individuals have it all together, they know what direction to head in as if someone gave them a golden compass on the day they were born. I went through years misguided, yes in the back of my brain I knew I was destined to help people heal, I just took the long route helping them through working in traditional medicine. All those years it was right in front of me instead of just escorting, and taking patients into the room,  gathering their vitals, and charting their notes I wanted to know them on a deeper level, I intently listened to their stories,  if they were happy I rejoiced with them, sad I would listen, comfort and try to guide them. I was always in trouble for taking too much time with patients, and generally being over caring. ...

If you've been to any store that has natural medicine, Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, Fresh Thyme Farmers Market you may have saw these little glass dropper bottles each elixir has its own healing power. There are 400,000 flower species as of 2010. So many essences which one should you take? Most of the descriptions on the bottles are brief, and many seem similar. It will be easier to have a consult done by a flower essence consultant with so much to choose from. A consultant can help get to the root of the issue through a lengthy intake, intuitive insight, & their extensive research. When I was first introduced to flower essences I attended South West Institute of Healing Arts. As part of my class on flower essences I was instructed to take an essence and keep a journal of each day, and include emotions. At the time I was a manager in a high stress environment, I was working 60 plus hours a week, I was like a ship in the ocean just passing my family by for a brief moment eac...
