  • The Feline-Serpent Connection: Unraveling the Mystery

    By Tracy Schruder

    Hey, fellow cat lovers! Have you ever noticed how cats and snakes seem to share a special bond? I’ve always thought it was just my imagination, but it turns out, there’s some fascinating science behind it.

    According to an ancient tale, cats were designed from snakes by a great supernatural creator. Whether or not you believe that, one thing’s for sure – domesticated cats and snakes are the only creatures on the planet that hiss.

    I mean, think about it – the way a cat arches its back and lets out a warning hiss is eerily similar to a snake’s defensive posture. It’s like they’re channeling their inner serpent! And it’s not just the hissing that’s similar – cats and snakes share some other fascinating traits.

    For one, they both have those piercing vertical pupils that seem to see right through you. It’s like they’re sizing you up, deciding whether you’re worthy of their attention. And let’s not forget their stealthy hunting skills – both cats and snakes are masters of ambush, creeping up on their prey with ease.

    The ancient Egyptians certainly thought there was something special about cats, revering them as protectors and associating them with the goddess Bastet.

    I can see why – there’s something undeniably powerful and mysterious about a cat’s presence.

    So, what do you think? Is the feline-serpent connection just a coincidence, or is there something more to it? Let me know in the comments.

    Some fun facts about cats and snakes:

    • They both have vertical slit-shaped pupils, which help them gauge distance and adapt to low light conditions.
    • They’re both nocturnal, thriving in the cover of darkness to hunt and avoid predators.
    • They’re both expert hunters, relying on stealth and ambush tactics to catch their prey.

    Whether you’re a cat person or a snake enthusiast, it’s clear that these two creatures share a special bond. And who knows – maybe our feline friends are just secretly snakes in disguise.

  • Awakening Intuition: My Journey with Tapping and Energy Healing

    By Tracy Schruder

    Tap in to Tapping

    I’ve always been an intuitive person. Feeling other people’s emotions, physical pain, and seeing or feeling the outcome of their situations. I’ve often been called an empath, but I honestly can’t label it for myself. It’s just been something I could do or have been. For most of my childhood, I believed that everyone was like that, although maybe other people had better control of it. Now I know there is a difference.

    I’ve done a lot of watching over myself and my mysterious abilities. I chose not to deny them but to learn all I could about them and use them to the best of my capabilities. So, I became a Reiki grandmaster teacher/practitioner, enabling me to teach others like me to use their abilities to their highest potential as well as soothing suffering for those who need it.

    One thing I found especially interesting about the various different healing techniques out there was the tapping technique. I’m only two years into this practice, but it has worked wonders for me. My first experience with this technique was to activate my third eye. I always believed my third eye was wide open and fully functioning my whole life, but this idea was challenged when I did a third eye tapping technique.

    I closed my eyes every day for seven days and tapped between my eyebrows on my third eye for 46 taps. The first three days, I would see through my mind’s eye a dark spot tapping over and over the Ajna chakra. On the fourth day, I saw black cracks like glass cracking in front of a bright orange glow. I was ecstatic! I knew something was breaking. The following days were amazing, at the least. I slept extremely well, had informative and magical dreams.

    The following days, as I tapped my third eye, I would see a dark blue oval with bright blue and white ripples spanning across my forehead and out towards my temples. I had no idea my third eye was blocked, as I mentioned before. I’m so grateful for finding the tapping techniques! I’m more clear than before, am a better teacher, coach, healer, and person overall. My intuition is firing like never before, and my abilities have improved exponentially.
