How can I discern between positive and negative energy?
One time after a “Meet Your Guardian Angels” workshop, an older man asked me, “How do you know the difference between good and bad energy? When you are praying or asking for help, how can you be sure who you are speaking to?” It was such an honest and important question - because at some point, everyone walking a spiritual path wonders this. Discernment is not something reserved for psychics or healers. It is something your body already knows. Negative or distorted energy rar

What Is a Cacao Ceremony?
A Journey Into the Heart: Embracing the Cacao Ceremony In a world that moves quickly, we often find ourselves disconnected. We feel distant from ourselves, from others, and even from God. A cacao ceremony offers an intentional space designed to gently guide us back into the heart. While cacao is often recognized as the main element, the ceremony is not merely about drinking chocolate. It is about presence, connection, and creating a sacred container where healing, clarity, an

The Power of Forgiveness: A Journey to Inner Peace
Forgiveness is one of the greatest tools we have as humans. It allows us to fully let go, move forward, and release the emotional, mental, and spiritual burden of holding onto unforgiveness. Unforgiveness, on the other hand, can lead to resentment, sadness, physical dis-ease, and the literal weight of what is asking to be forgiven. Understanding Unforgiveness Unforgiveness is like carrying a bucket of rocks. Each rock represents a specific instance that needs forgiveness, eac

How does energy transfer?
Great question. Hard question. I am a firm believer in radical responsibility – in some way shape or form, when I have dense energy in my field – I have allowed it in. In this way, you take control and ownership of your energetic being and are then able to shift out of it. When responsibility is outside of yourself, you are always in a victim mentality and at the power of someone else. That being said, energy can be purposely put onto someone, positive or otherwise. It is sti

Understanding God: A Gentle Exploration of Divine Presence
The Many Faces of God “God” is a term that carries a multitude of meanings. Each of us has a unique definition. Whether you identify as Catholic, Jewish, Agnostic, or Atheist—or perhaps you haven’t given it much thought—there is a concept of God that resonates within you. This concept may be shaped by your experiences, beliefs, or even the absence of belief. When I mention “God” during our sessions, I think of your personal definition. It may resonate with you or feel distant

Sometimes I feel other people’s energy in my field, how can I clear my energy at home? (Big Golden Sun Visualization)
Great question. One easy visualization is the Large Golden Sun Meditation. The intention for the Large Golden Sun Meditation is one of energetic separation. We are giving back their energy and calling back your own. Do this with love and compassion, NOT out of anger or a tone of “here take your gross energy back”. We are not shoving it back, just giving it back because it is not yours. Note: this method is for when you have already absorbed someone’s energy, not a technique

Who are you, and how did you get here?
That’s a good question. Hi! My name is Kassidy. I’m an Energy Practitioner based in Sedona, Arizona. I’m 28 years old, born and raised in Iowa.

When I was 24, I found myself entering the Dark Night of the Soul -- a turbulent and defining chapter when a person either chooses a path aligned with their highest good or spirals into a direction t

What is energy clearing & what can I expect from a session?
Good question. Energy Clearing is the act of removing some form of dense, stuck or negative energy from your energy body. Practitioners use a variety of tools to do this, such as Reiki, Sound, Visualization and in my case, the name of Jesus Christ. In my practice, Energy Clearing has multiple components. First, I have to identify what type of energy we are dealing with. A client may come to me experiencing physical pain in their left knee that comes and goes with no prior tra
