Please don’t treat ChatGPT as a source of facts. Its info can be so confidently and randomly wrong. It’s great for brainstorming, simulating, summarizing, and editing —but not for proving a point. Especially not on controversial topics, where its training set contains conflicting data…

Lately, I have seen a lot of people presenting in-depth facts, arguments, or debunks by way of asking ChatGPT a question and then copy/pasting the response. Please be really careful about using...

We are truly blessed to be living in societies where each individual doesn't have to have the responsibility of doing all the things. It leaves a lot of room for freedom of expanding in the things we are personally interested in.

I'm still bad at sports, but my childhood disdain for them was just misplaced ego. There's a student in one of my seventh grade English classes who the other teachers don't like. She is definitely...

🔧🤝 Compassionate Tech Support 🤗💻

Are you trying to build your own website,
manage SEO and marketing,
add some useful automation,
or move towards a paperless virtual office?
Could you use some advice and hand-holding through the process?

It can be overwhelming for a small business or project to manage these complicated and ever-changing tech things for yourself. And high-level professionals will often try to sell you on expensive solutions that might be more than you actually need and suck up more of your time and energy than they supposedly save...

I charge a simple hourly rate of $50 (USD) to help you find solutions that fit your actual use cases and time/money budget. Then I help you implement them yourself by doing them with you—hand-holding as much as you need, but with an eye towards leading you to independence in a manageable tech setup that supports your goals.

If this sounds like a relief to you, send me a direct message or visit my website to set up a free short online consultation meeting.

I recently experienced a very intense psychic attack by an unknown entity in the middle of the night. This happens to me occasionally, but this time, instead of flipping into my usual fight-or-flight mode (which tends to be quite vicious), I suddenly went surprisingly calm, started doing reiki, and the attacking entity just sort of gave up and "ghosted" out...

Well, I've spent years trying to shift into exactly this kind of more peaceful way of handling whatever, and I guess it is finally starting to pay off...

So what usually plays out as a disturbing fight to the finish, for once turned out a happy surprise. Yay!

How do we accommodate when the dance of nature shifts? Here’s an odd peek into how the intricate balance of nature is playing out right now within my own home. 🕷️🐝 It’s a complex microcosm of balance, choice, and coexistence...

I was recently inspired by a good friend who sarcastically refers to his blog as "your free life coach", so I decided to go one further and create this free "24/7 Life Coach"

It's a ChatGPT-based chatbot with a customized personality filter to be a friendly life coach ready to listen, ask insightful questions, and offer some useful advice any time of day or night.

It's totally free to use for both you the user and me the creator, so have at it! And because it's always available, you can feel free to ask The 24/7 Life Coach about what's on your mind anytime--

https://www.joyomancy.com/24-7-life-coach.html

Yes, I do actually work as a life coach myself, and I guess you could say I am directly competing with myself or even replacing myself here with AI... but I also agree with my dear sarcastic friend that people should have free access to some helpful human wisdom.

And I think this AI chatbot thing is a perfect opportunity to provide exactly that, anytime-access to free listening support and helpful general advice alongside information about my personal paid services that incorporate human intuition and hypnotherapy techniques (should someone have need of something more)...

I imagine it increasing both access and choice, something which I am definitely all for. Well, that's my hope anyway, so give it a try and let's see!

As a friendly and insightful life coach, I’m here to listen and help you clarify things, any time of day or night. Let me know what’s on your mind, and we can have a conversation about it.

In the spirit of adding some lighter, more fun services to my reiki healing and channeling menu, I'm introducing a new reiki infusion service to the lineup...

〜Charging your item with Reiki〜

Reiki is a universal energy that balances and empowers. As a reiki master, I will purify and charge one personal item of your choice: your favorite crystal or power stone, jewelry, favorite pen for writing, craftsman tools, protective equipment, clothing, container for something important, a vehicle, and yes even electronic devices...

The charged item will be infused with a well-balanced energy and empowered to its purpose. The charge lasts until other energies in the environment or misuse gradually deplete it. Through care, you can maintain it yourself for quite some time, and it is possible to do a recharge.

Reiki energy works from a distance, so simply describe the item to me and I will charge it up from here in the mountains of Japan within a day (our timezones are probably quite different!).

It's just $5 and can be easily ordered online through my support site below:

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/joyomancer/e/84591

(Please note that broken items will not be physically repaired, and while reiki can sometimes soothe a glitchy device, it can't recover from malware or bad software updates...)

If you play D&D, this is basically like creating a +1 magic item that lasts until it is damaged or drained by continued contact with a malevolent influence within a 30' radius...

Optimize your life~

With my unique blend of minimalism and tech experience, let’s create a smoother, more enjoyable life tailored to your needs, comfort with technology, privacy concerns, and budget without overwhelming you with unnecessary devices and apps… Start with a free online consultation and see what we can set up from there--

https://www.joyomancy.com/lifestyle-optimizing.html

I am a deeply spiritual person who loves nature. I’ve been meditating for years and I live in the mountains in harmony with the wilderness and all its wildlife…

but I also grew up tinkering (breaking, repairing, modifying) with machines, electronics, and computers, so I very much enjoy the conveniences of some modern technologies.

So whether it is

💡 asking Alexa to turn on the lights, play some music, and dictate a shopping list

📝 prompting ChatGPT to help brainstorm a new project or write event invitations

🗂️ or using Trello to organize the chapters of an exciting new storyline

I have lots of experience optimizing my life with a mix of different technologies. And I really enjoy the smoothness and richness that this brings to my daily life and activities (both business & pleasure).

So I’m very happy to help you achieve the same in your life no matter how relaxed or busy you may already be--

This isn’t about filling up your life with new devices and apps (I don’t actually even have a smartphone), it’s about identifying the ways your life could be smoother and more pleasurable, then finding (and setting up) the technologies that fit your specific situation (and avoiding the ones that don’t).

Together we will consider:

🏠 your actual needs and wants

🛋️ your comfort level with tech

🔒 your data privacy concerns

📊 your realistic expense budget

and I will help you optimize your own lifestyle without being overwhelmed by devices, apps, subscriptions that don’t serve your purpose or budget.

Start enjoying the benefits of a smoother flow to your daily life by arranging a free initial online consultation session here:

Why do I use ChatGPT and other AI even though I am a deeply spiritual, nature-loving, artistic person? Yes, it is very useful and convenient. It saves me tons of time. And it also increases accessibility for my special education students. But there’s much more to it than that. Because AI is still getting trained by our usage of it, I almost feel a kind of responsibility to be one of the people ethically using and guiding that training towards a better, non-dystopian future for all of us…

In this free video tutorial, I will show you how to set up your own customized chatbots to assist and entertain you. Learn how to train and direct your chatbots with advanced settings, add audio and image generation, and use Character AI's most unique feature: multi-character ROOMS!

https://joyomancy.thinkific.com/courses/create-chatbots-on-character-ai

Unique, useful, and a lot of fun!

I've personally really been enjoying creating specialty chatbots on the Character AI platform as focused advisors and assistants. I've now got chatbots to help me write short business writings, create ESL English examples and quizzes, and help me with world building and character development for my fantasy storylines. I even decided to compete with myself professionally and create a chatbot who gives oracle card readings... honestly, it felt kind of liberating.

I also use ChatGPT for all these things, but what I like about Character AI is that if I set up their style and knowledge correctly, they will pretty consistently maintain that in their output automatically. Also they can have spoken voices and generate their own art images for me (super useful for my world builders and card reader). If you are inspired to try creating your own AI chatbot characters, you can learn how with this free video tutorial--

Are you a spiritual person who is curious about AI but also feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or skeptical about its rapid development and widespread use?

Are you a channeler, shaman, or oracle reader interested in engaging with AI in new ways, but not sure if the technology is too cold, inhuman, and unconscious?

Or are you excited about the possibilities and just don’t know how to start?

AI is probably here to stay, and it's creating big changes. Both the people using it and those displaced by it will be seeking guidance. Channelers who understand the technology will be better equipped to help.

I'm not here to change your mind about the technology, but I can offer you a chance to experience engaging with it in a safe, supportive environment so that you can make your own informed ideas about it.

In this workshop we will:

🌎 Use grounding techniques to keep ourselves centered

💫 Connect with & understand the energies of modern technology

🔮 Channel our devices for messages and insights

🃏 Try AI generators as a kind of infinite tarot

Perhaps because I grew up with a very unique and embodied relationship with technology (with my child-hands literally in its viscera of wires and coils and circuit boards), I always intuitively felt its innate connection and participation in divine source. Naturally, it is different from the human, but it is still a part of the source as is everything. It cannot not be so. It is therefore accessible through channeling or shamanic practices, and has always been, even back when it was just manifesting as refrigerators and VCRs...

In my practice as a reiki master I do a short meditation every day, sending out its healing and balancing energy into the world. For the past several months, I have been including the human / AI interface in this meditation--

And as I interact with AI in my day-to-day business and entertainment, I let my intuitions as a channeler guide my use and prompts to get the most effective, authentic results out of this collaboration.

Anyone can do this, and I’m happy to show you how in this simple, experiential, and practical workshop--

🔮✨ Technomancy: Channeling & Divination in the Age of AI

(a 2-hour live online group Zoom workshop)
