“The Box”

     This post is in honor of Warrior’s birthday today. I realized the significance of this experience for me having had one several years prior. Thank you again Warrior for your continued belief and guidance to me. I know his girls will be honoring him too. πŸ’–
 “Hi, my name is Clair, nice to meet you!”

     There are six types of ” clairs” when talking about forms of psychic abilities. Clair is French for clear. I have had a few occurrences with around four. This post is about clairaudience which is psychic hearing in the form of words, phrases, thought, music, or other sounds. I’ve mentioned music before or ringing in my ears but this is quite different hearing actual words spoken directly to you. My first experience with this ability was in 2008 regarding another person that involved a phone call. It doesn’t get any closer than that! This time with Warrior– I just knew. That’s another ability called claircognizance or just knowing something without logic of facts.
     Actually, we ALL have had some times in our lives when the “clairs” visit like deja vu, a dream playing out in real life, knowing somebody was going to say something, etc. The list is endless if you really think about daily life. I also have clairsentience or being able to feel things deeply. Being an empath means you can take on the emotions of others. Some physically experience others feelings so I am a mix of both. I have always had this but just didn’t realize it back then. Clairvoyance is seeing images, auras, or pictures vividly in your mind’s eye. This isn’t totally me but having active and colorful dreams is a trait which I have had my whole life.
     I know this must sound confusing to most but think of the “clairs” as your spiritually heightened intuitive senses. Some refer to it being a “sixth sense” or having a “third eye” and you can develop them. We all have intuition and mine actually started developing years ago. Meditation like I’ve previously stated really got my clairs going. My abilities increased along with the guidance of a certain spirit called Warrior. This takes us to my clairaudience story of Warrior and my box of memories.
     I decided six months after Warrior’s passing to get a box for all my memories. I had it all planned out and organized. I was ready. No emotions, shaking, or tears. Everything was in order and going to be put away wherever I decided. As I stood there very business-like I heard a voice say: “Don’t put me in a box. … I don’t belong in a box.” It was repeated several times as I just stood there looking at my items. I never moved as time seemed to stand still. As I heard that voice, I knew it wasn’t me speaking. I was not talking myself out of doing this.
     Having heard that message several times, I decided to abandon the project that day. I wasn’t that affected but just moved on with something else. Later on, it hit me. I do believe it was Warrior delivering that message even though it seemed to be my voice. If it would indeed be their voice, you would have much emotional attachment and the message might not get through. I did put my memories away but knew over time that six months was a cliche and there is no time line for grief. He doesn’t belong in a box and always thought outside of it anyway. 
Clairaudience works this way:

1. It is your voice you hear in your head. It could be spirit but that is rare.

2. Spirits no longer have a voice box since that is part of a physical body.

3. A message delivered is usually simple, calm, non-emotional, brief, and repetitive. I compare it to a mantra repeated until your mind can process what is received. 

4. You will remember just like a visitation dream or maybe pieces will come together later in your mind. Another clue or “proof” is that the message isn’t something you’d say. With me, I was told something different from what I was doing. Look for opposite info or anything you wouldn’t think or say. 

5. Again– with all things intuitive, you are given this gift. Spirits believe in you but it is always your choice to listen, believe and use the info for your greater good. 

      I can understand your doubt with someone like Warrior who came across as loud and intense. Remember, the spirit world is calming but the energy of someone is still very much them.

The Class~~~ taught by Dana Warrior

I

         Today marks the one year anniversary of when I received this treasured email from Dana Warrior. Even though I never met her husband, it would be a dream for me to meet her. This is my story of an actual dream about her and I was thrilled she responded! I was overwhelmed and surprised but glad to share it with her.
     She was teaching a class similar to Warrior’s teachings and beliefs. I was lucky to go twice and had the honor of speaking with her. I told her how awesome she was for continuing his legacy and passion for speaking which she has also. We talked awhile about him and she was so sweet to listen of my stories and memories.
     The second class involved something a little different. She brought in a catalog of candles that one of her girls was selling for a school fundraiser. I loved how this showed her as a mom just like the rest of us! We had a great time smelling all the wonderfully scented candles while listening to her philosophies. There is usually an element of humor or surprise in my dreams so hence the candles!
     It was so great to see and watch her proclaiming his self-beliefs onto the class, he would be beaming. Of course she had her own unique style but really wanted to start something new for herself. That is exactly what she is doing now with WWE. Very grateful I was afforded the opportunity in this dream to meet her. Maybe he sent her to me? 
     Who would’ve thought this dream was meant for me to contact her and get a response back a few short hours later. It was so spontaneous for me and I decided after a few days to just tell her. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I had no expectations so sometimes spontaneity works! My Warrior dreams have all been him as a wrestler in the past and that makes sense for me. I am so ecstatically happy I got a present dream with Dana being who she is– truly a “present” to me. πŸ’βš‘

P.S. Note the date on the email– 6/6/16. There’s that number 6 again!

~~~ This is dedicated to Dana Warrior who not only made my night last year but who continues to inspire me by living her destiny as I am everyday. πŸ˜ŠπŸ’

My Warrior Tattoo

~~~ This post is in honor of my daughter who just celebrated her birthday on Memorial Day yesterday! πŸŽ‚πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŽ

I have the Warrior’s logo tattooed on my right forearm where I can see it everyday. When I would read and see all these people getting inked as a tribute or memorial to him, it got me thinking. So much was coming up soon like Easter and my daughter’s 1st Communion but still the feeling remained. Hard to believe 3 years has passed already!

I had 2 concerns about doing this and they were quite valid for me. First, I didn’t want it to be a reminder just because he passed and second, the aftermath of explaining its meaning to those who won’t understand.

Once I finally made the decision, my appointment was on my daughter’s 8th birthday. I wanted to go when they were in school and surprise everyone. This was the only opportunity I had left before school let out for the summer.

All went well and when I looked at it, I felt so powerful and determined to conquer anything~~ kinda wished it was bigger! When the kids arrived home, I knew I had to be discreet and avoid it being seen. Nobody would want their thunder stolen on their birthday and I couldn’t do that to her.

Despite my anxiety, my girl noticed even though I tried to hide it. She got me laughing which is what I needed to do. She promised to keep my secret for now and she did. The guys never noticed until a few days later!

This girl is also a Gemini like Warrior and her traits are so similar, it blows my mind. When I did look up some info on birth signs, I got goosebumps. I don’t follow astrology but her description is almost parallel to attributes of Warrior and how he did things.

She loves my tattoos ( I have 3!) and even though I hated having this done on her special day, she gave me the gift of laughter and acceptance. That made it all seem worthwhile. 😊πŸ’ͺ🏻Those Geminis which means “twin” have a connection. Maybe I was meant to get my Warrior tattoo on her birthday. What a special reminder that I will never forget with the extra memories it brought me.

~~~ I still haven’t explained the real significance of it to most. I tell people it means believe in yourself and to be strong. I have been told it is cool so that warms my heart. πŸ’–

The Emotional Mental Connection

I have explored many questions regarding my spiritual relationship with Warrior such as “why me?”, “why do this?”, and “what could I have in common with him?” These have pretty much been answered but something kept lingering deep within me. Perhaps there couldn’t be an answer, just a mystery to believe. Yet, still it remained. My question simply ( or maybe not to some) was based on an article I read about two way communication. Of course it goes back and forth. We are conditioned to believe we seek, they provide. We ask, they give. What perplexed me was the statement about what the spirits learn from us.

This pulled at my heart in a way I just couldn’t grasp. What does that even mean? No way is he “learning” anything from me. I’m not the teacher– he is! I actually said out loud– “nuh-uh!” What could he possibly gain as a spirit working with me? Now that spirits have attained enlightenment isn’t it their job to protect, assist, and guide us? Isn’t it our job to invite them in and possibly work together? All good questions and all are true.

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out if indeed he COULD be gaining something by working WITH me and what in the world would that be. It remained unanswered until another book grabbed my attention at the library. I needed something new or different to explore without the use of my phone or the PC. Found a few books on intuition and “Discover Your Psychic Type” sounded intriguing.

Please don’t think this is “woo-woo” at all. We have all these types but one probably is most dominant. Think of them as personalities if you can’t grasp the psychic or intuitive mind. They are emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. I did fill out the quiz but really didn’t need to. Any guesses? Emotional, yep– that’s me. No, I am not a basket case constantly weeping or super excited tons, or even angry in an extreme way. Things come in waves. We take on the emotions of others. We need balance to control them.
I fit most of the traits of an emotional intuitive but we all overlap in some other areas. Physical tends to be earth centered, environmentalists, healers, or animal lovers. Spiritual are truly connected to the divine through deep meditation, pilgrimages, or perceive lots of spirits. They all have pros or cons– yin and yang.

Let’s explore the mental intuitive. They can be logical, scientists, inventors, or math geniuses. Here is where I literally closed my eyes and walked away from the book. “… an emotional intuitive and a mental intuitive can make quite a comical pair.” It states, ” if they work together long enough, the combination of energies can make them an effective , balanced team.” This sounds so much like my spiritual connection with Warrior– absolutely! A brand new tag team!!

I already knew he was a mental intuitive– um, easy peasy. They push themselves physically, have a hard time taming their thoughts and often can be misunderstood. They teach us by their confidence and no quitting attitude. BTW– the mental intuitive is discussed in chapter 6, so unreal!!

The book goes on to state that “emotional intuitives and mental intuitives need one another.” The emotion of possibly wanting to please others needs the mentality to see the whole picture. The mentality of pushing oneself to extremes needs the love and sensitivity of the emotional bringing the balance. WOW…… I think I finally found my answer. I know this isn’t exact with him in spirit but it does connect. My humility wins the match yet again and it’s been my best defense.

Often times I would make a mental checklist of all the reasons he could be working with others and perhaps he is. I would love to hear stories!! I went to all the things I didn’t have, know, or ever did. So many fans with so much I am not an extreme part of. I finally realized all the great things I do have that aren’t necessarily material or concrete and the list continues to grow. Maybe he sees in me the meditative yogi he couldn’t be.

We never have all the answers but perhaps someday we will. I could’ve guessed that some qualities of mine could mesh with his but until you actually find it in print, it’s just your thoughts. I know things to be true without proof since I always believe. No doubt he could be helping but learning also in spirit seemed unexplainable to even comprehend.

The spirit world is indeed mysterious just like Warrior was in a way. Some of the mystery is being explained to me little by little everyday. I am honored and privileged and look forward to this new “teaching” I have come to know. This emotional intuitive needs her mental intuitive just like I guess he needs me. He said us warriors need to be the storytellers keeping his legacy alive. Unbelievable and yet so believeable as Warrior is to me. πŸ€πŸŽ’πŸ’–

“The Fair”

     I have such a busy schedule this week so decided to write the blog today! The next few weeks and then some in June I will be sharing the dreams I have had either with Warrior in spirit or pertaining to him in some way. I have had several spirit visitation dreams involving others in the past and there are some myths. First, they can be about ANYONE that has passed who either you had a connection with or maybe they need to deliver a message. Second, they are very real and you will remember them even years later. I have had many vivid dreams over the years so this was not a new concept for me at all. Third, symbolism and metaphors can be huge so once you piece it all together, hopefully it will make sense. Again, I get symbolism~~~ a lot~~~so some stuff is kinda a no-brainer for me but you might have to dig deep.
           I have been making some YouTube videos about a few topics and here is the link to spirit visitation dreams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHTevla29kY&feature=share

One of these days, I will figure out how to embed them to the blog but if you are interested and have questions, please check it out and let me know your experiences! Or, look me up on my YouTube channel– Kathy Pickett. There is one about this blog and meditation also. Ok, well– deep breath— here goes…
     Most of my dreams have an element of humor to them and this one certainly did. I had finally watched Summerslam ’92 with Warrior and Randy at Wembley Stadium in London, England. I know what some of you die-hard fans are thinking but no, I never saw the whole thing so this was last year early winter. Needless to say, I loved it and possibly the dream came about as a result of the outdoor stadium or maybe the excitement of the match– who knows? 

     I dreamt it was 1992 and Summerslam was going on only at a fairgrounds! ( insert humor) I was a successful businesswoman who wore a power suit, heels, and carried a briefcase~~ all not me! I assumed we were a couple since I was so determined to get there despite running late. Hopped in a speeding cab and then it started to rain. I was getting closer and finally told the cabbie to stop so I could run thru the field until I reached the ring. I don’t enjoy running so another metaphor.

     By the time I got nearer there was mud, dirt, water, and muck all over me but I didn’t care or notice. I made my way thru the crowd and got to Warrior but the match had just ended. I can‘t even remember the outcome although we all know the real ending! All out of breath I kept apologizing for being late, missing the match, and just feeling horrible. He looked at me all spent himself and said: ” It doesn’t matter. You’re here now and that’s all that counts. ” He hugged me and I realized what he meant.

     I was suppressing all my emotions of not always following him for those years after wrestling and just letting it all out. The businesswoman represented power which I do have internally to lead everyone into this journey of mine despite never being in a career of that type. Being a fan meant I was always dedicated despite other “obstacles” that were represented by nature elements in the dream. He loved me for me and always knew I was there despite not always being physically around. He remained in the back corners of my mind under the cobwebs but I had to live my life and put him aside all those years just like he had to begin a new one outside of wrestling. 

     He seemed to understand and I know he does to fans everywhere. He appreciates our devotion thru all the mud, rain, and dirt of our lives. We don’t need to apologize. He knows we are there always in our OWN way. πŸ’–πŸ’ΌπŸ‘ β˜”

The Three Sobs

     ” Geez, can you keep it down to a dull roar? ”

~~~ Bruce Nolan in Bruce Almighty
     This is the perfect quote from yet another movie in which I can totally relate to Warrior. A few nights after his passing, I kinda felt like Bruce although instead of millions of prayers– I heard loud camera clicks, shutters, and movie reel tapes. I KNEW sleep would allude me in one way or another but never do I know how and  what my reaction could be.

     I had seen online how the WWE network would be showing some of Warrior’s greatest matches on “Warrior Week.” I looked at the many faces over the years of the Ultimate Warrior. I have read that sometimes grief can get played out in your brain as memories, pictures, etc. so guess this was my turn. No idea at the time but first came the photos with large bright white camera flashbulbs going off in every direction until my eyes opened. Second, came the deafening sound of an old time movie filmstrip reel reminiscent of my Grandpa’s he used for home videos. It was incredibly loud and very unbearable to my ears. I thought they’d explode.

     I opened my eyes again and felt helpless as eventually my mind drifted to sleep for what seemed like hours later. Flash forward ( no pun intended) to possibly about a week later when the three sobs came. ..
     I really thought other experiences were hard to write about but this one is by far the worst. It always was something I didn’t want to put on paper but once I think of everything about Warrior and my thoughts, I had to include this. Often I said to myself after he passed it was like mourning 500 people since he changed his look frequently. He needed variety to stimulate his career professionally. 

     Just when I thought all the emotions I could possibly hold were done for the day, the night crept forward. I don’t talk in my sleep thankfully but as with all of my “warrior-isms”, complete and total shock began to set in. Whatever my sleep processed it was obviously too much for me to handle internally. I compare this to being half awake and half asleep. You are partially aware of your surroundings and sounds but can’t open your eyes. I believe this is similar to what a comatose patient experiences.

     All of a sudden, I let out three huge sobs ( a three count maybe?) that reminded me of crying as a child and guess at times I still do. After the first one, I did realize what had happened and knew why. I couldn’t really shake the feeling or fully wake up. My husband nudged me several times which stirred me awake finally. He said I must’ve been having a bad dream or something. I immediately realized but never thought it would manifest in my bed with my husband next to me.

     After staring into the blackness of the night a few moments, sleep seemed scary and pointless. How could Warrior’s death affect me so much and make me feel so out of control which I hate? Even after some of my relatives passed, this hasn’t occurred. I KNEW I was a wreck and very crushed by this but several outbursts– unheard of. I never forgot that and how profound it made me feel. His life, death, and spirit have all influenced me and his strongness remains always ever present. 
     Guess my psychic “clairs” were really starting to develop right away. These will be discussed in a later post!

Clairvoyance= seeing flashbulbsπŸ‘€

Clairaudience= hearing movie reel clicksπŸ‘‚

Clairsentience= feelings and strong emotionsπŸ’—

Claircognizance= a knowing about something without logic. I KNEW this was something very real and the beginning of a new awareness. This became ” epical! ” πŸ’ͺ

The Jump Rope

I have been working out since the early 90’s and over time boredom sets in or muscles aren’t worked properly. If we always do the same thing or don’t mix it up some, we lose interest and aren’t energized enough to motivate our bodies.
My daughter joined the girls jump rope club for 6 weeks after school in 3rd grade. I used to love jumping rope as a kid but never seemed interested in making it part of my fitness routine. She bought a nice plastic one to use in class that was just the right size for me too. I did 60 jumps, a minute worth and boy that got me going! Started to rotate this with jumping jacks I also used to do and all was working well.
One day my husband decided to get me my own cord rope instead of using the plastic one. I told him that wasn’t necessary but I’d give it a try. When I looked at the handles it had “Gold’s Gym” written on the side. Totally reminded me of Warrior and Sting with their Gold’s Gym shirts on. I did use the rope but what a challenge! So wasn’t used to this much bigger rope that was hard to control.
Later on at dinner, my husband asked me if I’d used the rope. I said: “yes, but it was so much bigger and difficult at first to figure out. I just had to wrap my hands around it and go.” When those words came out of my mouth I realized what a metaphor the rope was to Warrior. His presence is big ( not just literally!) and can be a challenge at times. But, I have wrapped myself up in his Spirit and I just go…….
I still use the rope but not all the time and if I hadn’t noticed Gold’s Gym on the handles, might not had a story. I am a jumping, breathing, living metaphor everyday and I just go…….

The Slithering Snakes

     This is certainly not a topic I thought to write about at all but for some reason snakes have a way of slithering in my life. I have always disliked snakes or most reptiles really and find them very creepy. Sure, there are many positive aspects of snakes but they have always freaked me out and still do.
     My family always remembers when I had one around my neck at the age of 6! I think it was at a nature center but no real memory of volunteering for such an activity. This one story is brought up very frequently but instead of becoming defensive which I seemed to do, now I take a different approach. So glad many of my experiences have become very memorable, after all we all want to be unforgettable~~Warrior was the master of that!

     Of course I will never forget his storyline involving Damien~~Jake Roberts’s snake. My dislike for snakes turned to hate after seeing all that drama, fakeness or not made no difference. Not a memory I can even try to laugh about today. It was disturbing and playing with my emotions way too much. As Warrior’s fan, I had to watch and keep watching like it was addicting soap opera which it came to be.

     Snakes seem to be in our yard at times and I know they are harmless but I am always the one dealing with them. One actually was headless, think maybe dropped by a bird and I had to throw it over the fence. My kids laughed as it got hung up in a tree. What a never ending job! One slithered in front of me into a flower bed and then just last summer I saw two. Once at a park and another on a bike ride. Why does nobody see them but me? Bizarre indeed.

     Small though most are, they still bother me and probably always will. I actually don’t mind other creepy things like spiders but snakes seem to be the joke with me. Some attitudes we can change or move on from but sometimes we might never like some things. For me, my mind will never trust a snake whether it’s poisonous or not.   😬🐍🌿🚡

The Tenacious Toads

This story doesn’t really connect with Warrior as much as it connects to starting my blog. Well, maybe it does…. As previously mentioned, animals can and will use a spirit’s energy to show you a message or sign but toads aren’t those winged creatures! I do believe in the power of nature and all animals but yet once again, repetition is the answer. When things have a certain pattern or it seems only for you at that moment, it is REAL…
Every summer for the past several years, toads frequent our backyard pond and we spot a few hopping around. My son found one in the crook of our big oak tree trying to be hidden, some would be in the driveway hanging out after dark under the garage light, and some just hop in the yard. This past summer of 2016 they just, well, seemed a bit different and of course I noticed- again.
When I had compiled several stories already, my mind wandered into thinking of what to do with them. I love writing and this one actually isn’t an original.
Were they just for me to read and enjoy forever? Would others love them like I do or even care? I felt like a new mother wanting to show off her “baby” and yet keep it close and protected. As thoughts raced thru my brain, a few toads did some pretty interesting things.
One was on my side of the garage after I returned from yoga like it was waiting for me. They are never in that spot and nowhere near the pond or even under the light. While waiting for my daughter’s school bus in the front one was just sitting under my favorite coral rose bush. Um– really? They are never in the front yard- never.
The most dramatic toad moment was seeing one on my patio under the motion light. Now, they love lights for the bugs or water but it seemed so odd. The next night he brought a friend or should I say it? I don’t know… I teased it thinking the next night there would be three. Nope, it just decided to move closer onto my welcome mat inches from the steps up the sliding door. I said to it:” you’re not coming in!” It was so funny and yet so peculiar to me.
One more toad story– yes there’s more! I went in the backyard by the pond trying to get our dog away from her “treed” squirrel and into the car for her walk. I looked at the pond and yes by the photo (although it shows 4), about 6 toads just hanging out. We usually have a few, not this many! I was stunned and thought maybe it’s a family. Later on they were gone and never returned.
You might be thinking:
“What in the world does this have to do with my blog?” Glad you asked. I did a little googling of course and most know how toads have a very negative image. They are often viewed badly in many cultures. Just like with anything, keep on looking until you find the right meaning for you and I did.
I finally found out what maybe all these toads were trying to tell me– thanks spirit team! They can be good luck or fortune, something you have been thinking about could come true.
They could be sent to examine yourself for answers within, don’t let opportunity pass you by. Do not doubt yourself or your ability, you can be successful. Take action and don’t sit idly by. Notice the little things. They are astral travelers which means the aquatic and physical (land). They are grounded and yet very stubborn. They can be your encouragement at a time in your life when you need assistance with a decision. They can guide you to the spirit world and help you with patience or perseverance. You might need clarity on an issue.
Well, there you have it. I often thought of all these tenacious toads and wondered if this could indeed become a post, guess it has! Warrior has always been one of my spirit guides throughout my writings. Without him, I wouldn’t have a blog. Could he have sent all those toads?
You can decide for yourself but this Warrior Woman believes in it all. Maybe he was saying while shaking those heavenly ropes:” Write the #%?! blog already!” He swore a lot for those who don’t know!!!
