If there could be a theme song for this year, I would say it would be, “A Whole New World.”

Indeed, I know that many people, particularly in the United States, feel that what is happening in the political arena is moving us into the middle of last century. And, if we were only looking with the eyes this dimension provides us, such perceptions would seem to be true.

However, we have the opportunity to see from a higher vantage-point…a place that sees a bigger picture than our wee selves, on this planet, can see. As Animal Communicator, Joslyn Zale, channeled recently:

Message from Hawk: Fly high to get a bird’s eye view of the situation before making a decision. This clarity is important for you to move forward effortlessly and joyfully. Peace.

This message is so perfect, not only for the energetic beginning of this calendar year, but also because it highlights the pitfalls of the Aquarius nature…relying solely on intellect from the vantage point of our bodies.

Aquarius is known as an air sign…the sign of the intellect, and correlated with the tarot suit of swords. And yet, its name refers to water, and means “water bearer,” the images showing a man carrying a vessel containing water. To many, this sign is confusing, due to its seemingly dual, or even misleading nature. And yet, it can be a symbol of the perfect balance between the Sacred Masculine (vessel/boundaries) and the Sacred Feminine (water). How? Through detachment.

Embracing the qualities of detachment is what Hawk is inviting us to do this year. This does not mean that feelings and emotions are bad and should be ignored or repressed. Such experiences are energy in pure form and have tremendous capacity to heal and create movement, so it’s important to allow them to exist and listen to what they have to tell us.

Detachment does mean that one doesn’t allow those feelings and emotions to consume us and carry us away into a river of tumult and destruction. The difference is subtle to those seeking to master this, so perhaps the following will help:

Water is the preferred element to represent feelings and emotions in spiritual, alchemical, and astrological circles, so let’s imagine that that one’s feelings and emotions are a river. Sometimes the river is a trickle, or even dry, and sometimes the river is full, or even a raging torrent. A river is identified by the space in which it flows…a river bed and river bank…the edges and boundaries. So long as the river stays within its boundaries there can be much joy in witnessing the ebb and flow of the river…some even enjoy wading or swimming in it. But, when the river overflows the banks and floods the space around it, destruction occurs.

Destruction isn’t necessarily bad or good either…the old must fall away before the new can emerge, and sometimes destruction can be so massive that it’s hard to see what is being created in the background. Remember, destruction and creation are both qualities of the Sacred Feminine…also represented by water. However, there are always consequences to destruction. Connections are severed, foundations are broken up, wounds are revealed, and life as we know it is damaged…sometimes in ways that can never be mended or repaired. Again, such measures can be beneficial, but in this dimension, when one experiences such extremes, there will also be a sense of loss and grief that must be processed before the new can emerge.

However, if one doesn’t wish for the destruction to occur…at least not to such extreme degrees…keeping the river within the boundaries of the banks is important. This can be done most effectively by maintaining the river bed and banks during low flow so that junk doesn’t pile up, causing obstructions to the flow of the water…for as the river rises, junk tends to appear. By keeping the riverbed and banks clean and clear, one can allow that junk to flow, unimpeded during high waters, resulting in improved health to the river and all who depend on it for life.

As someone who has lived a large percentage of her life in her head…only allowing the emotion of anger to burst through…I appreciate the insights and wisdom of those who are much more comfortable and familiar with the experiences of the heart. One such person is Karol K. Truman. In her book, “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die,” she discusses the process of emotions as first beginning as thoughts, which, when allowed to exist and are given energy by engaging with them, bloom into feelings, which, when allowed to exist and are given energy by engaging with them, bloom into outward expressions, or emotions. This is the beginning of what Mike Dooley means when he says, “Thoughts become things.”

Learning how to recognize the thoughts that lead to undesired, destructive, and overflowing emotions is the first, and biggest step, towards learning detachment and discernment. It is also the first, and biggest step, in creating something new and different…because one has chosen a different path, the result will naturally be different.

Additionally, since passing the tipping point of 2012, the energetic terrain of the planet has shifted tremendously, so that the old strategies of power of intimidation, distraction, lies, and secrecy, will be blatantly obvious. And, because they will be so blatantly obvious, people will act in ways they never have before. The old must be destroyed before a newer, higher frequency way can be created and established. So, there will be a while of uncertainty and instability as the destruction and creation takes place. 

So, as our outer world presents us with many, many opportunities for our rivers to overflow and exceed their boundaries as old patterns are destroyed in magnificent ways, we can practice disciplining our thoughts. In doing so, we can choose a different outcome…first for our inner reality, then reflecting that inner reality to our outer world. Indeed, how we respond or react to these situations will determine the direction in which our world goes.

It’s up to us.

Avoid floods.

Go high.

Find clarity.

Choose your path.

Travel purposefully down that path, towards an as-yet-unknown destination.

Create your inner world.

Reflect it on your outer world.

Recognize and celebrate the new world.

It’s up to us. 

And so it is.

New Moon in Taurus

If your life feels anything like mine lately, it’s been a tad intense. The simplest tasks have required an incredible amount of effort…more so than it seems they should. It’s taking longer to accomplish anything than I think it should, or than it has in the past, and after completing only one or two items on my list I’m ready for a very, very long nap.

Additionally, I’m feeling a lot of emotions…intensely and sometimes in a blender…all muddled up so that I’m not entirely certain what I’m feeling…just that I’m feeling something and it’s really really strong. And those strong emotions happen in the oddest of moments…something very insignificant and small brings up all kinds of crap that seems to be unrelated to the situation at hand, and I have, on occasion, found myself feeling foolish and embarrassed afterwards, uncertain exactly as to what just happened.

Some clients of mine are feeling something a bit different. They’re experiencing a profoundly deep sense of loss, abandonment, fear, and uncertainty. There is a sense of not knowing where they’re going or what to do next, and a sense of isolation that is causing them to want to reach out and connect with others in an almost desperate way…sometimes even to people they know aren’t the best for them, but the desire to be with them is almost overwhelming.

Still others I’ve observed are feeling unsafe because they don’t know what’s going on…just that something is happening and that they can’t control it or stop it or change it, so they feel as though their entire life is spiraling out of control. In response, they seek to control their outer world as much as possible, hoping that it will alleviate the internal cyclone that is raging. These same people are also experiencing an opportunity to increase personal responsibility through accountability, but are resisting it because it feels unsafe. To be held accountable for something equates to being corrected, which equates to being disciplined, which equates to being punished, which means (to them) that they are a bad person. Therefore, because they receive the message that they are a bad person, it then is translated to mean that they are either not good enough or not loveable. So, they resist and defend and excuse their attitudes or words or behavior because it’s unsafe to admit the truth.

In working with my clients, I’ve noticed an interesting pattern that beautifully describes and/or explains the process that is generating these experiences. It’s related to this theme of Resurrection, as well as the theme that will be present for this next moon cycle…puzzle pieces.

We’ve each created a life for ourselves using puzzle pieces that we’ve collected along the path of life or lives. The resulting picture is one that has guided us or defined us and has been helpful and beneficial for us…until now. Over the past year it has become increasingly clear that this picture we have used is no longer as useful or effective as it once was, and in the past six weeks we have been handed a new picture for our puzzle…using the same pieces but in a different configuration.

This new configuration will have gaps…because it’s a bigger picture with room for new ideas, new adventures, new people, new projects, and new potentials. In time, the gaps will fill, and the new picture will make sense, but at the moment it doesn’t. This is because in this moment all the pieces are disconnected from one other so that they can be put together in a new way. In this disconnected state, there is no reference point from which an individual piece can identify itself because the new picture orientation hasn’t fully completed. And, it may not fully complete before the pieces begin to come together again, resulting in a feeling of uncertainty, disorientation, confusion, and panic as we wait for clarity.

This, then, is the key…the theme for this cycle…waiting…with Love.

This is not a passive waiting, nor is the Love an external love. The Love is an unconditional self-directed Love that we actively practice daily…or hourly…or breath-ly. It will require slowing down, accomplishing less within each day, and giving ourselves permission to let that be ok. It will require holding a space of compassion for ourselves and our limitations during this time, accepting these limitations and letting those limitations be ok. It will require an adjustment of our thoughts towards ourselves, and saying affirmations of love and support toward ourselves so that our limitations are not entangled definitions of our worthiness, or lack of worthiness, of love. It will require a daily practice of some kind of act of kindness or love towards ourselves…such as a salt bath or a massage or dancing or reading a favorite book or doing your nails or getting a hair cut or taking a vacation or taking a nap or cancelling an appointment. Whatever someone does or says or gives to you that evokes a sense of love within, do for yourself. Create that feeling within, so that there is no dependence on another to provide that feeling for you…because, let’s be honest, right now, with this energetic configuration, you might not be able to depend on anyone giving you what you need…except yourself.

This is all being played out astrologically as well. This new moon is in Taurus, an earth sign, and a sign of personal security and luxury and wealth. Taurus wants material comfort and will work patiently and diligently to achieve it. It is also a sign of sensuality and pleasure, it’s ruling planet being Venus, the goddess of love in all its forms. So, by focusing on the things that bring you pleasure, you will be magnifying Love in your life and elevating your mood and frequency above the muddled confusion of this restructuring time.

Additionally, Venus is currently in Cancer, a water sign, ruled by the moon. This particular water sign deals with the emotions of the home life, signifying the potentials for long-standing issues at home to come to the surface for healing and growth. Mercury will also begin its retrograde motion during this time, offering many opportunities for slowing down and choosing words carefully when communicating with loved ones…especially towards yourself.

As with all Mercury retrogrades, take the time to slow down and adjust your timing mechanisms so that you can easily flow through these next three weeks. Stay present and go within in order to maximize the benefits that this space has to offer you. And, be aware that there are many around you who won’t be doing this, so be particularly careful while driving, speak slowly and softly, and avoid unnecessary stimulation as emotions will be running high in others not practicing self-love.

Things will balance out again in mid-June, so take heart and keep going. Each breath is an opportunity to try again…to love again…to practice again…to release and heal and evolve…resurrecting from the ashes…building a new picture piece by piece.

May we create the Love we seek, holding it on ourselves, for ourselves, and reflecting our fullness into our outer world…with gentleness and ease.

And so it is.

New Moon in Leo

A Little Princess, 1995

A Little Princess, 1995

This ending moon cycle is certainly living up to its promise…requiring courage to walk through even just one of the open doors to the change and growth for which we’ve been seeking.

What we cannot see or know is that when these tremendously transformative moments occur, it is because we have shifted our perceptions and consciousness to a higher vibration. When that happens where once no hint existed a full-blown reality has appeared. Indeed, we went to sleep in one reality and woke up in a different one…as if by magic.

As always, before such shifts can occur, there is a falling away of the old…the completed. This is necessary in order to make room for the new to grow and flourish. And it happens because there is an opportunity to choose…to take a new road or new path or do something you have never done before. There may even be a sense of destiny in this experience…that there is no logical explanation for your choices; you simply have to do them. And in choosing to move forward, there are always those things, circumstances, relationships, and people who will not move forward with you…at least not in the ways they’ve been with you in the past. They too are choosing…to either stay where they are, or transition into a space where they can be of greater service to you and the rest of humanity. And while the results can feel painful, all that truly has happened is that we chose to wake up in the new reality…they didn’t.

And in this new reality, there is a different pace…a different flow…a different process. It’s simultaneously joyful, and uncomfortable, and exciting, and sorrowful, and terrifying, and…big. Regardless…it’s overwhelming. Our sense of edge…our boundaries have shifted. Our perception of center and balance has shifted. And, our tools for holding boundaries and staying centered and balanced need refining.

When experiencing this disorientation, the natural response is to grasp…grasp for that which is falling away…grasp for the familiar…grasp for the logical…the tried-and-true…the ways of childhood teachings and memories. Yet, these will not nourish you. They cannot, for they do not hold the light or the wisdom or the love that exists in the newness that now surrounds us. As long as we insist on trying to make these old ways work in this new choice, we will experience dissatisfaction, irritation, and isolation. Allow that which is finished to fall away. Just be in that stillness…that void before creation is renewed in the coming cycle this weekend.

And, if you must grasp, grasp your essence…your light…deep within. Find your solace, comfort, support, peace first within your Divine Line…for it exists there in tremendous amounts…beyond what anyone else can provide for you. Listen to and discover those rituals of self-care that nurture you and bring you into a clearer, higher alignment with your essence. Take the time to indulge in yourself…to feed yourself…to relish yourself in all of your magnificence. Let these practices that you discover be your intentions for this cycle, and allow the humble, abundant love to flow out and strengthen you…encouraging others to do the same.

And so it is.

Life Review

Romancing the Stone

Romancing the Stone

I once gave a talk about doing a life review.

It was actually a sermon for the Shabbas service based on Parashat Masei (Numbers 33:1-36:13). 

In my talk, I focused on the lack of movement…the waiting…the stopping…the evaluation. In the story, the Israelites are about to enter a new land and a new way of life. No matter how much they had looked forward to this and had lived their entire lives for this very moment in time, there was some fear and lots of uncertainty. So they do a review.

They recount all the stories of their history up to that moment…remembering all the amazing things that happened in order for them to be standing in that place at that time. They remember all of the challenges they faced and all the lessons they learned…all the changes they made in their lives, thoughts, beliefs, and practices over forty years (for some).

It’s at this point that I said something that I still strongly believe: You cannot move forward until you know where you’re headed; and you cannot know where you’re headed if you don’t know where you’ve been.

I’m laughing at the synchronicity of all of this, because when my Guides asked me to write about this tonight, I didn’t understand why. I’m sure there are many reasons I still don’t understand, but here’s what I just realized: This same passage on which I based my talk happens to be the Torah portion for this week. Also, it’s Mercury Retrograde…a perfect time for us to evaluate our lives and make appropriate adjustments to our course direction. Additionally, on July 8th, Saturn goes direct, requiring us to take responsibility for our lives and our creations, and the moon is new…offering us the opportunity to set intentions and plant seeds for our future.

So, today is that place of stopping…standing still…waiting…lack of movement. Take some time today to think back to the person you were four months ago…six months ago…a year ago…three years ago. Go back as far as you need to in order to appreciate the amazingness of you and the life you are living and creating. As you look back, ask your Guides to show you synchronicities…those points when things didn’t make sense at the then but in hindsight you can see the perfection of timing and the hidden gifts of love. Ask them to show you patterns that you’ve changed…habits that are now dissolved…wounds that have healed…love that has been created.

As you do this, look for the path that your life has been creating…a direction of movement that you may not have noticed previously. For some, you may have been forging a path through a jungle…creating a road where no road previously existed. If so, this is hard and exhausting work and you may have forgotten the bigger picture. By stopping, looking back, and seeing this road’s direction your clarity will be heightened, resulting in reassurance and comfort and possibly rejuvenation…for you see now that you’re on the right road, doing the right thing, headed in the right direction.

When you find this certainty and direction, look to see if it projects into the future. If it does, look down the road. There will be clues and hints as to where you’re headed and what your next step is. There may be some fear of the unknown, some doubts as to how it will all work out, and that’s ok. It’s part of the journey too…simply ask for increased courage, support, and reassurance. There’s plenty available to you and anyone and everyone who needs it. All you have to do is ask. When you receive it, express gratitude, take a deep breath, and take the next step.

And so it is.

Gratitude Journal Entry #37

Clarity, Clear skies, Farmers' market, Grammar, Gratitude, Happiness, Intuition, Love, Ocean, Peaches, Summer, Surprises

from CuteStuff.co

from CuteStuff.co

Tonight, “grateful” seems a bit passive for the passion I’m feeling, so I’m going to use “Love” and “LOVE” instead. I really don’t care that it makes me sound like a 13-year-old. Probably some part of me still is, so this is for her.

I absolutely LOVE the glimpse of the ocean as I come over the rise of the hill and it spreads out in front me in all her glory. My throat tightens, and my eyes get just a bit misty and my heart expands with joy.

I Love the sweet vendors at the Farmer’s Market who share their passion for good healthy food with the rest of the world. I LOVE that some of them give me hugs or gift me with food when I need it most. Mostly, I Love that when I give thanks before I eat, I get to thank the farmers by name.

I LOVE that the express lane sign at my new store of choice is grammatically correct. I also Love that I have a favorite checker there already.

I absolutely, utterly, and comPLEEEEtly LOVE that there have been no plane trails mucking up the skies this week. It’s been clear, blue, hot, sunny, and gorgeous. *swoon*

I also LOVE that my intuition has been so clear and strong…taking me to some veeeeery in-ter-es-ting places this week, but resulting in such squeals of delight that all I can do is grin.

I esPEcially Love that the mosquito in my bedroom has a limited life expectancy and no life insurance policy.

The very best thing that I so completely LOVE is all the surprises that have been coming my way this week…they are just SO much FUN!

Thanks Goddess! More please! 🙂

P.S. I LOVE all the suggestions that my spell-check is offering me. Some computers just have no imagination.

Increasing Personal Responsibility and Integrity

Hesitating.

We’ve all experienced it…it’s one of the gifts to humanity, this moment…the choice. Do I or don’t I? Which way should I go? What should I do? Which is the best way? Which way will give me the results I want? Which way is the easiest way?

Hidden in this hesitating moment is a priceless gem…the gem of integrity. In this moment, everyone has the opportunity to evaluate the situation through the lens of his/her moral compass and choose. I’m not speaking about a moral code that is taught to you through a religion or spiritual practice. I’m talking about that inner voice…that place inside you that tells you what is right and what is wrong…that knowing-ness that what you are about to say or do is or is not in alignment with your inner truth.

This moment of hesitation is that moment when each of us chooses to either listen to that inner truth and act harmoniously with it or not. And yet, it’s not so simple. It also requires us to admit that we are choosing one way or the other…we’re not just victims of our circumstances. There are options even if we don’t like admitting that they are there. To admit that we are choosing requires courage, because we are taking responsibility for this choice and our circumstances. We aren’t blaming someone else for putting us in the situation…we aren’t expecting someone else to rescue us by fixing it for us. We are acknowledging that we are choosing one way or the other.

This alone is a huge step in a person’s spiritual evolutionary process. Most of humanity is not yet even aware of the many opportunities it has to make this choice. Most people simply coast through their lives on a pre-programmed existence which currently includes blame and victimness and helplessness. So, anytime someone recognizes that he/she has this choice to make and acknowledges it, I rejoice.

Taking this rejoicing a step further, choosing to act or speak in alignment with our inner wisdom and knowing-ness is something that brings tears to my eyes. In the current climate such choices are really really really hard to do. No matter how many times one does it the choice never gets easier…oftentimes it gets harder. Why? Because making this kind of choice is often alienating and unpopular. Those who make these choices are often ridiculed and mocked and bullied for being true to themselves. Many people shy away from associating with such radicals because they fear being exposed as frauds in their choices and having to admit that they do have an option to choose.

So, it’s perfectly understandable that if you’ve lived any particular length of time, you will hesitate whenever a choice presents itself to you. It’s also perfectly understandable to try to find the bending point…how much can I compromise without completely abandoning my integrity? And, it’s perfectly understandable that sometimes we bend so much that we end up in knots.

If you are finding yourself confronted with situations that can no longer continue as they are, you may find yourself in this moment of hesitancy…confused and frozen and uncertain as to what to do…particularly if the outcome is a complete mystery. If this is the case, use this space to offer a few things to yourself:

1. Give yourself the gift of self-love and compassion. Recognize and acknowledge that this is hard and that it’s ok that it’s hard. Love yourself for all the moments when you didn’t choose in alignment with your inner wisdom, for those situations taught you many things. Love yourself also for the moments when you did choose in alignment with your inner wisdom…even if you experienced painful repercussions. These too taught you many things, and no matter what, you are still loved and worthy of love.

2. Express gratitude for the beautiful and complex life that we get to experience! No matter what anyone tells you or teaches you, the only true guidebook for your life resides within you. It’s not easy, nor is it simple. It’s not suppose to be. It’s suppose to be messy. So embrace it!

3. Find that thread of courage in your gut…that memory of a time when you acted or spoke in alignment with your truth and you have no apologies for it. Ask your team to find that thread as well and amplify it within their Divine Lines…reflecting it to your Higher Self. Also that thread of courage to grow within your Divine Line, pulling all your courage off of everyone and everything in all dimensions, incarnations, and lifetimes into this present breath of now. Invite your body deva to do the same.

4. Ask your team to demonstrate how to connect more deeply with their inner wisdom and truth, aligning their soul with their wills…committing to it fully and completely. Ask them to amplify this connection and commitment to you at the level of your Higher Self. Invite your body deva to do the same.

5. Then ask that your team model to you, at the level of your Higher Self, an increase in personal responsibility, energetic integrity, and inner support. Allow that shift to flow down your Divine Line into you in this dimension. Invite it to amplify as much as is needed. Invite your body deva to do the same.

6. When all is aligned, open to receive the clarity and information you need in order to make the decision. When you receive it, trust it and express gratitude and move forward unhesitatingly, knowing that you have the support and assistance and love of the Universe/Divinity only a heartbeat away.

We ask that all your reference points, all ways of being, perceiving and being perceived are updated. We ask that you are wrapped in sheets of rainbow light, gently sealing in these vibrations to whatever degree is appropriate to your spiritual evolutionary state. We are in deep gratitude to the angelic realms for serving and assisting us in every breath and in every way. We are in deep gratitude to you for the courage you carry in your heart for as you live and shift in the world, humanity shifts with you.

And so it is.

Shopping For Your Life

Farmers market 001

As we move into the last few days of this lunar cycle, there is a building momentum of anticipation. For many people this anticipation is a natural part of our life cycles…school is ending (in North America), summer is beginning (or winter, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere), vacations are being planned, fiscal years are wrapping up, concert seasons are ending. So, while this is an exciting time naturally, it also is an exciting time energetically.

From an energetic standpoint, this is decision time. Since the beginning of the year we have let the old fall away while simultaneously building new foundations. During this time, we’ve been wandering through a store…a store filled with anything and everything imaginable from groceries to designer shoes. All brands, colors, sizes, variations are on display and available to try on and test. As we have walked the aisles dreaming of all the different ways we could use or combine products, we’ve been collecting things we like…similar to posting things on Pinterest. Now our research and collection time is up and it’s time to make our final choices in order to check out on the 8th…the New Moon.

This is a multi-dimensional experience though. We’ve been dreaming in the higher realms for ways and patterns and beliefs and manifestations that will support us in this dimension…as well as in all the other dimensions in which we express ourselves. This check-out is going to be huge…a complete make-over.

So, in order to bring the appropriate choices into this dimension, we have to ask for them here. One suggestion by Aleya Dao is to write your requests on yellow paper in red ink…the colors of the root and third chakras, the blend of the two representing the second. These chakras are the physical manifestation chakras, so using those colors adds an extra punch to your choices and requests.

On this paper, if you choose to do this exercise, list everything you can for creating your new life…all your choices. It doesn’t have to be limited to things you wish to attract to you, such as a soul-mate or financial abundance or a fulfilling life work. You can also list the things you wish to release or transform…those things that you are finished experiencing in your life, such as depression, addictions, weight issues, poverty, anger as an operating system, fear as a protection mechanism, etc. List it all in exquisite detail.

If you aren’t entirely clear as to what you really want to create, ask your Higher Self, your team, your body deva’s Higher Self, and the Guides to give you clarity. Use your – to really hone in on your desires and ask to remember your dreams or for the information to come through clearly in time to set the intentions.

A favorite tool of mine is to stretch time in such impacting decision-making times. I ask that all beings of love and light who are willing to assist me in choosing the highest and best choices for my greatest happiness convene with me during dream-time. I then request that we take as much time as we need to create the juiciest, most passionate, fun, fulfilling, magical, and delightful results…even if it takes 500 years to figure it out. Then I ask that once it’s all figured out, to come back in time to me in the morning as I’m waking up, and download all the information we created in that 500 years.

Sometimes the information comes in one massive chunk that takes a few days to unpack…sometimes in comes through in snippets throughout the day or over several days. So, I recommend keeping your list handy and writing each piece down as it comes to you so you don’t miss anything.

Additionally, some other teachers’ comments on the potency of this time resonated with me, so I’ve included them below:

Aleya Dao says,

We are slowly coming out of a two month pressure cooker. Phew! If in the last 10 days you have gotten sick, feel run down, kind of like you are going to die, or your skeletal structure went out, welcome to the club. If you just felt overwhelmed and or out of it, you are one of the lucky ones. This has been a very intense time and it is about to shift. We are moving out of this energetic tunnel and will be popping out on June 8th.

If you have been pushing yourself hard and, have been impatient, then this whole tunnel thing has probably been a bit frustrating. Breathe, rest, go slowly, and get ready to go really fast (but it is a warp dream drive) starting June 23rd. Until then go slowly and count your blessings.

To prepare for June 8th, imagine the first few moments before you walk into a party…Are you calm, put together, and in your best attire? Or…Are you disheveled, frantic, and rushing?

On Saturday, June 8th, the doors open and we walk into a new energetic terrain. The energy we hold within our-self is the first impression we make upon this new energetic terrain/neighborhood.

Use the next few days to get very calm, very clear, set your intentions, polish your shoes, pick your favorite party outfit, get ready to walk through those doors, and make the energetic impression you intend, that WILL support you.

Kaypacha says something similar:

It’s time for me to speak my truth,
Whether the world is ready to hear it,
I won’t know until I share it,
But I’ll die if I keep on stuffin’ it!

Wow! So much busyness is happening with this New Moon coming up in Gemini! Hope you’re wrapping up the old stuff and getting ready for a new blast off! It’s time to pull out the barbeque, invite the neighbors over and share the joy. Wishing you the best of all….aloha….

MysticMama shares some more detailed insights here.

Here’s to finally starting to see the sprouts of the seeds we planted in January, and an easier way of living.

And so it is.

Healing Relationships with the Full Moon

Today, as we move through the full moon energy, we have the opportunity to heal some important relationships and move into greater degrees of balance in those relationships.

So far, this has been a year of relationships, mostly because relationships are the easiest way to gauge our growth and change over time. Because everyone does change over time, relationships will either strengthen or weaken depending on if that change happens at a similar rate in both people in the relationship. If both people change at a similar rate and in similar directions, the relationship will most likely strengthen. However, if one person is slower to change or if the changes result in the people moving in dissimilar directions, the relationship will end.

The relationship I want to address in this post has its key in the planet Saturn. The planet Saturn is not one that many people appreciate in astrological terms. This is because Saturn is associated with old age; the qualities of cold, slow, dry, separateness; death; sadness; misfortune; heavy consequences; the color black; the law and its consequences; wisdom; the father. As you can see, these are not attributes that one usually runs toward…we are beings of pleasure after all. So why talk about Saturn during a full moon?

Because Saturn is conjunct with the Moon, and both are in Scorpio. Both the moon and Scorpio are water signs, and water signs have to do with emotions. In this particular situation, Saturn is moving retrograde through Scorpio causing a double-whammy with surfacing subconscious emotions. Additionally, the Moon also represents the subconscious adding even more potency to the subconscious being the focal point of healing. And finally, because the Moon is full, it is illuminating in greater extremes these hidden aspects and emotions that are be at the root of some of the qualities listed above (Saturn).

And this is where things get a little tricky. I said on Monday’s post that this would be a week of healing the masculine, and this is the theme Saturn is highlighting…or rather, is being highlighted through the light of the Moon. The primary issues that are ready for healing are issues that have brought these heavy qualities into our lives. And, at the risk of sounding like a psychologist, this planetary alignment suggests that many of these issues have to do with a masculine authority figure. It could be a father figure, but it could also be a boss or a teacher or any individual/institution/religion/system/government who exhibits imbalanced masculine traits (also discussed in Monday’s post).

As these issues come to the surface for you, they may surprise you…both in topic and intensity. This is understandable because these are issues that are subconscious…you weren’t aware of them previously. And yet, these issues have been at the foundation of your understanding of your world…again, without realizing it. Essentially, I’m saying that your world, as you know it, is about to be rocked.

As always, when such challenges arise, our first instincts may be to find stability outside of ourselves…on a job, on a routine, on a relationship, on a habit. But, what if those things are also affected by this new insight/revelation? The best place in such situations is your Divine Line. It is always your safest place to go…the source of your greatest courage, strength, support, reassurance, love, and healing. Burrow deep down into your Divine Line with all the attachment you would normally use in connecting outwardly.

Once you find that stream of light, invite your team and Body Deva to do the same. Then invite your team to locate the point of stillness, clarity, and discernment…modeling it to you at the level of your Higher Self. After you have shifted into this place, model it to your Body Deva until all three of you are in harmony with each other.

From this place allow whatever emotions arise to ride themselves out. Just like in a surfer, allow the emotions to lift you up and forward…to a higher level of consciousness and a higher perspective…possibly even rising above the current situation altogether and moving on. Flow with the water element of the emotions, looking for the pearls of wisdom that Saturn has for you. This will bring healing to those painful areas created from a tyrannical, imbalanced, masculine energy, and move the masculine just a little bit closer to balance with the feminine. Repeat as often as is necessary, all the while expressing gratitude for the release and the relief as you move into greater degrees of freedom.

When this shift is complete (24-48 hours), invite the Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine to wrap you in sheets of rainbow light, gently sealing in these vibrations to whatever degree is appropriate for your spiritual evolutionary state. Express gratitude to the angelic realm and all who supported and assisted in this shift. And we, in turn, are in deep gratitude to you for all that you do, consciously and unconsciously…seen and unseen. For as you shift, heal, and evolve, you shift the Universe.

And so it is.

Portal Day

20 Wednesday Mar 2013

portal

Today, several shifts will occur: dark to light (more daylight hours), Winter to Spring, Pisces to Aries, a new year according to the natural patterns, new portals will open and old ones will close. Old energies will leave with the closing portals, and faster, cleaner, higher vibrating energy will pour onto the planet with the opening of the new portals. Upgrades, downloads, and recalibration will be the order of the day…at the end of which we will finally begin to see the first evidences of the Winter Solstice (12-21-12) shift. In short, today is a potently, powerfully, energetically, swirly day.

Be careful operating machinery today. With everything swirling about, your sense of balance and orientation will be constantly shifting, providing ample opportunities for accidents.

Be careful operating relationships today. All the shifting energy will result in emotions changing just as quickly. Where one moment you might feel teary, in the next you could feel exasperated or elated to just as extreme a degree. Really listen to what people say today for their words will reveal some hidden truths that you’ve been missing. However, don’t make any plans or emotionally engage with anything anyone says to you today. Make a note of it, and check in with them in a couple of days to see if that reality still exists for them.

Be careful signing contracts or engaging in any business transactions that have long-term ramifications. What will seem appropriate in the morning, may no longer be relevant by the afternoon.

The key words for experiencing all that today has to offer are these: surrender, receive, detach, observe, stay present, breathe, allow, flow.

The potential for drama is quite high today…particularly with people who are not aware of their soul and Source connection within their Divine Lines. Because these people don’t understand what is happening, they may perceive of themselves as being victims and lash out in some extreme and dramatic way. They may also vehemently resist the change that is facing them…afraid of all the work that change will require of them.

You do not have to be one of these people. Resistance is the source of suffering…particularly when change is inevitable such as today. By surrendering, allowing, and flowing you release the need to control all that is happening around you. In reality, you can’t control it anyway so the sooner you can accept that and trust the Universe to guide you into your greatest happiness, the easier and faster it will find you. Once your need for control is released, you can then fully embrace and receive all that each moment has to offer you. Do this by staying present with your breath…in each moment…for each moment will be quite different…you don’t want to miss anything.

And finally, pull all your energy off everyone and everything and fully anchor it to your Divine Line. This will greatly reduce or eliminate any empathic sensitivity you may have for another’s journey or experience, allowing you to emotionally detach from everyone and everything around you…except for you. In this space, you can still experience peace and clarity despite the chaos swirling about you. From this place, simply observe all that is happening…what is crumbling, and what is being built. The more you observe from this place of energetic integrity, the clearer your path will become for you.

We are in deep gratitude to you for awakening, modeling right energy, shifting, growing, and evolving. We are in deep gratitude for all that you do…seen and unseen…for the effects are significant and valued greatly. We are in deep gratitude  to you for incarnating at this time, and participating in one of the greatest moments in history. As you go, so goes humanity.

And so it is.

Spending Time With Yourself

life-reflection

The fourth step in opening your heart is to spend time with yourself.

As the heart space becomes cleaner and clearer due to the previous steps, you are now able to experience a purer you, emotionally. So now it’s time to get to know yourself in a deeply personal and intimate way.

One huge hurdle in this step is that of judgement. When we face ourselves clearly and honestly, there are things that scare us, or intimidate us, or just plain freak us out. These things are too huge, too dark, or too horrible to even acknowledge. To even consider examining, evaluating, and acquainting ourselves with these traits that are inherently us is rather daunting.

When this occurs, hold a space of compassion for yourself, remembering that everything is in its perfect place in its perfect time. No one in the higher realms is going to criticize you for these traits…they simply want you to learn from them and grow as a result of them. If there is any criticism going on in your mind, chances are those are not your thoughts but are thoughts that belong to someone else. So, send them back to where they belong until there are no critical thoughts in your head.

Fear is another huge hurdle. Learning the source of the fear is vitally important. Is it a fear of judgement or criticism that is keeping you from facing these truths about yourself? Will someone think less of you if they knew these things about you? Or, is it a trust issue with yourself…that you aren’t strong enough to handle this magnitude of an issue? Whatever it is, spend some time with the fear and let it teach you the wisdom and lessons it has to teach you.

As you start spending more and more time with yourself, you will become aware of some intense emotions. This is what happens when a frozen heart space starts flowing again…emotions happen! This is wonderful! The intensity, however, can be quite overwhelming, so keep this in mind: the body can only sustain an intense experience for a maximum of 3 minutes at a time. So, no matter what emotion you are feeling, it will only be that intense for a maximum of 3 minutes before it wanes. It may return, but again, it will only last for 3 minutes. So, ride it out like a surfer in a safe and appropriate way. Spend time with it. Learn this emotion and pay attention to all the messages that come with it, for hidden beneath those messages are deep treasures and wisdom.

Then start using this chart from one of my teachers, Aleya Dao. One of her teachings is that our external world is a reflection of our internal reality. So, rather than feeling victimized by a situation “out there,” use that same situation as an opportunity to show you the area that is ready to be flipped “in there.”

Another of her teachings is that “We do the opposite of what we are intending on mastering until we reach a certain level of consciousness and we begin to practice that which we intend to master.” What this means is that if we are trying to master self-control, we will allow others to control us until we have collected enough lesson pieces to graduate us into practicing self-control. Learning to recognize the transition stages is always the most challenging part.

For example. When someone else is trying to control you by coercion or manipulation or guilt or blackmail, this is an indication that  you have given your control away. If all your control portals were filled with your own control pieces, no one would try to put theirs in there instead. So then bring all your control pieces back to yourself and fill up your portals, and eventually that situation will go away…either that person or situation will leave or change, or you will.

As you get to know yourself and begin using this chart, you will learn vast amounts about yourself, what is true for you, and what belongs to someone else. This makes it very easy to let stuff go, and easy to identify where your boundaries are. By honoring this within yourself, you then create a safe space for others to do the same…simply by modeling right energy in how you live your daily life. In doing this, you shift humanity.

And so it is.
