Metaphysical Merchants

Often in our busy lives we feel disconnected from everyone and even ourselves.  We are lost in thought, unaware of our surroundings, our environment.  It is as if we feel disembodied.  We lose our earthly selves and become mental solitary beings.

In our next conversation, Oracle shared with me a wonderful meditation in which I grounded myself and raised my vibration. It made all the difference.
