A Lightworker's Job

2012-02-08T10:28:00.001-08:00

ALightworker is one who is aware s/he is a beacon, a lighthouse, shining thelight of love. This light can be used toheal, to feel and to just be. It is the vibration of Love and Joy. It does nothave to be pushed out or manipulated, though it can be. A Lightworker mayseemingly do nothing, yet by virtue of being present, that presence calms,awakens, increases and shifts others in subtle and wonderful ways. A lighthouse is simply light, shining. Whatothers choose to do with that light is theirs to create.

ALightworker's job is to be light. The result of which calms those not understandingwhat is going on in this ascension process: chakra (energy centers in the body)awakenings, sleeplessness in the extreme, odd joint or muscle aches, dizziness,memory lapses (no, it’s not dementia), and various heart palpitations,headaches and fleeting oddities. Those who experience these things are notsick. This is not a problem.

Clientscall, worried about the specific group of things happening to them: joint pain,vision shifts, headaches, stomach discomforts, food and eating habit changes,sleep disturbances and dizziness. Their worry and fear is really the excitementof the new ‘movie’ we are in and we’re glued to the screen watching, seeing andbeing slightly freaked out. Freaked outis an option. Call someone and getanswers, calm your fears and concerns. Better yet, go within and speak withyour own higher guidance and be calmed. It’s really ok. You’re really ok.

You’reright on target with your original life plan/contract you created before cominginto your earthen third dimensional self. You chose to be here at this time ofEarth’s shift. Your body is literally shifting from a carbon base to a crystalbase. Science proves this; they are watching it as the individual cells shift theirDNA and the carbon element changes its atomic weight.

Thinkabout it. We are physically and energetically shifting into holding more lightin our cells. Becoming a crystallinelight being is not going to happen all at once, but gradually so you can becomeused to it in body, mind and spirit. Your soul already knows where it’s headed.

Yourenergy body, the seven chakras centers running up the spine, direct much ofthese changes as they process the new waves of higher vibrational Light comingonto this planet. Sunlight and moonlightare whiter, less yellow. The vibrations of the Light coming from these nearbycelestial bodies and other distant ones too are what creates the shifts. Those who resist, deny and reject these changeswill not shift. They will findthemselves in a place that supports their perspectives. No need to fear. Youare in control. Shift is why we came here. The train is leaving the station butsome people don’t want to go… no problem!

Sowhat’s the big deal about light? Science is beginning to understand thateverything that exists is some form of light in the huge spectrum of Xray,ultraviolet, laser, dark holes, sunlight, radio waves, etc. Light makes thingshappen. It comes in waves. It is currently making this planet and this universeand all the beings in it change by shifting the entire vibrations ofeverything. Everything! We are becoming another missing link science wonderedabout long ago. The last shift was from animal to thinking human. This shiftwill be from human to galactic being with a sense of unity, peace, love andjoy; our true nature, beyond duality, past good vs. evil into resolution ofseparation in the reunion with a galactic brotherhood of higher consciousness.Obviously this is not a little change!

We’rebeing modified and upgraded as a species, as a planet as a universe and as allof creation is. We have agreed to help create this happening. This uplevelingis not isolated to our world. It ismulti universal. The big difference isthis has not happened this way before. No other group of beings stayed in theirbodies during the shift. Hence so manynon human beings are here to assist, watch, guide, direct and hold loving spacefor us to experience this first time event for the universes.

A Lightworker’s job is to be aware of darkness, but notdrowned in it. A Lightworker will be aware of all the corruption, greed, fraud,abuse and serious bad behavior of the controlling 1% of the population and howthey perpetrate their dastardly acts on us through media, politics, banking,food and religion. That awareness is for the purpose of bringing light todarkness. It reveals what has been hidden. Shining the light of awarenessuncovers the shadow world that ran the now failing people of dark power. It notonly makes them vulnerable but oftentimes gives them an opportunity to switchsides which personal safety may have prevented them from doing before thislight arrived.

We get to decide who we are in relation to all this. We canbe the Lightworkers who hold the space for forgiveness. We can become thepersecutors who demand retribution, penalties, jail time and publichumiliation. Lightworkers choose Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. We aren’tperfect but we try to remember we are all One and those scalawags agreed toplay their roles in this lifetime for a purpose. It has all brought us to thishour of awakening. They get to show us the depths of the shadows within us all.Maybe in this life we did not do shameful deeds, but somewhere in our manyincarnations or thoughts or anger, the shadows lived, if only for a moment.

Things are changing. It’s an exciting time to be here onMother Earth. I sense Peace, Love and Joy just around the corner. Together wewill make this real and this planet will go forward in its higher vibrations,cleansed, whole, loving, free of hunger and full of abundance and light.

If you’re reading this, you too are a Lightworker. Welcomehome.

Anchoring

2012-01-06T19:53:00.000-08:00

Thought becomes real because we anchor it to this reality.We do this by taking it out of the realm of thought and write it, speak it orexpress our feelings about whatever we’re thinking.

We anchor The Light, that which raises our vibrations, bywriting about it, by repeating our thoughts in conversations; by emails, socialnetworks and by internalizing those feelings and thoughts. We are making Light real. We are anchoringit.

Even if you don’t think you are, you are letting your innerLight shine with just a smile. A simple little thing and it’s such a hugecommunication bundle. “Don’t wait for people to be friendly. Show themhow.” ~Unknown A sincere smile comes from the heart, anchored there byauthenticity and love. Currently, the heart chakra, one of the seven energycenters of the body, is the 4^th or middle chakra. As we move throughthe shifts occurring now, into a higher vibration, the heart chakra will be thenew base or 1^st chakra.

Released from survival needs and bodily insecurities andfears which is the first chakra; and the issues of the 2^nd and 3^rdchakras, we will find ourselves rooted in Love and compassion. We will be open to accessing the energycenters above our current physical body that await our awareness and attention. These energy centers or chakras are ourcommunication centers with our more aware selves and with our non-physicalbrotherhood and sisterhood beyond planet Earth.

Gaia, Earth herself, is ascending too. Her vibrations are risingas she prepares to give birth to this new dimension, a higher aspect ofherself. She is releasing her low vibrational 3^rd dimension aspectand we are rising with her.

Scientists are adjusting the Periodic Table of Elements toshow the Carbon atom is changing its weight and thus its structure. This is the actual proof ou physical bodies are shifting. The ‘solid’rocks and trees and all that is carbon based IS changing. We must do this inbaby steps. We began a slow change longago and we are now moving very swiftly in our spiraling up out of 3^rddimensional density into 4^th/5^th dimensional heart chakraLove and Compassion.

Planetary consciousness was raised by the energies of12/12/11. Each increment of energy beamed to us from the cosmos assists us andMother Earth in our process. There have been and will be many more energy beamincrements. There is nothing to fear. We came here to participate in this. We have forgotten. It was part of the processto forget. Excitement and fear feel the same in the body. It’s your choice how you interpret thosebutterflies in the stomach! There’llstill be butterflies, but those changed caterpillars are about to become magnificentbutterflies.

In 2012, LOVE will finally become the predominant force onthe planet and anything or anyone in opposition to LOVE will fall away. No one, no thing is exempt from this galactic upgrade.

As we create our reality, sit down and ponder what you wantit to look like. Imagination is the key to creativity and thus reality. In myvision I see world peace. I see plentiful and healthy food for all people. I see instantaneous healing for all illnessthat wants healing.

I see Love to be the predominant emotion on Earth. I seeabundance and plenty for all. I see us manifesting whatever we like in anymoment. I see myself remembering to be the person Love sees me as.

I remember who I AM and feel it in each ecstaticmoment. I see joy bursting forth everywhere and everywhen.

I smell fresh air and see pure water for all of Gaia. I seeour galactic brothers and sisters revealing themselves to us bringing amazingtechnology to improve our lives.

I feel compassion replacing greed. I see myself rememberingthat each person I greet is divine and I remember to treat them as such. Isee humans in sync with nature. I see appreciation for all life.

I imagine a world where there is such abundance and immediacyof fulfilling of needs that there is no more struggle, no hunger, no thirst, nolack, no fear, no separation.

I imagine this world with Love reigning supreme and compassionand joy reflected in all that happens.

Let’s imagine together; for where two or more are gatheredin thought, word or deed, the effects are multiplied many fold. We do not haveto be physically together, but our powerful hearts and minds can create this byour intention, visioning and imagining. The only thing we have to lose is fearitself. We will anchor it in to reality.

We are the 99%. Together we are doing this in all walks oflife, all countries, all races. We areOne. The 99% all want peace, joy, love, abundance, health, respect andcompassion. Together we can and are creating such a world.

Practice thinking of these things in your daily quiet timeand whenever you remember to use your thoughts with intent. You will anchor thesethings into this Earth/ Gaia.

There is only energy and the manipulation of energy. We haveonly to learn how to manipulate it: tocreate our reality. We will be taught more. Trust, believe, know what youdesire, create a focus and give energy to it. Visualize it and set it inmotion. Birth it in your mind, add creativity and passion. It will be anchoredto this Now. It must then become real as this is a universal law.

May you be blessed a thousand times for having chosen to behere now.

Cloaked

2011-12-05T15:17:00.000-08:00

Consider that we envision guides and angels and dimensional beings in a certain way. Those imaginings are the result of art from past centuries and from others. Consider such concepts are merely a cloak used to grant us less fear. Some of these beings have humanoid forms under their cloaks. Some do not.

We ourselves are wearing such a cloak. We begin now to see our own true natures. Some of us have humanoid forms under our own cloaks; some do not.

The humanoid form is the most prevalent template in all the universes, though it has variations. Some have enlarged heads due to increase in brain capacity. Some forms are hairless. Some have more or less digits: toes and fingers. Some are different colors. Eyes may be larger or smaller. Noses, ears and mouths may be non existent or merely slits. Some have no form at all but are globes or arcs of swirling or static energy and light. Some are simply sensed with no visible form.

So much of our imaginings are images imposed by external sources: art, conversations, religious training, misinterpreted ancient scripts or modern graphics.

To create original thought we must put away old ideas and simply allow for new ones to appear. Original thought is not isolated or unique in consciousness. Many inventions appeared simultaneously worldwide by those able to draw in the energy to make them real, to give form to their impressions and insights.

Use your internal eyes and peel off your cloak.

You did not originate from this planet. Your star brothers and sisters will remind you as they soon put in their long awaited appearance. We are to be welcomed into the arms of the greater universes as our consciousness rises above the third dimensional cloud of unloving behavior. We are being welcomed back into Love, compassion and Unity. We will be more aware of our multi existences without being overwhelmed. Simply compare these coming times to your dream states. Things aren’t sequential. Many disconnected things happen as you rapidly shift your focus in your dreams. We get along just fine in our dreams. It’s easy because our dreams allow us to experience our real multidimensional selves.

Because you are multidimensional, you exist in other places right now, in our waking state. We just don’t give it our focus, or belief. Nevertheless, it is real. You may not understand physics or microwaves or photosynthesis of plants exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, but they are real. They exist here now and are processes going on without your need to focus. Your body is running without your paying attention to it. Soon we will take charge and direct our bodies how we want them to run. Right now many of us are directing our DNA to repattern itself to copy its unconsciously remembered perfect pattern. Simply acknowledge there is a perfect pattern of your DNA existing somewhere, somewhen, somehow. Then instruct your current subconscious to reach out, and overlay that perfect pattern on your now DNA. You can. You are multidimensional. You exist everywhere, everywhen, everyhow. Don’t argue. There is nothing to lose by the imagining of it. We are moving into the place of creation by choice. We thus step into our true power as galactic beings.

So take off your old cloak and see one of your galactic selves that exist simultaneously under it. We are so much more than we yet think.

Don’t worry. You can put your old cloak on if you scare yourself and pretend you are limited. It’s an option. But the imaginings to be explored are mind boggling. We are creators in creative universe. Create. Play. Uncloak. It’s an option.

These are truly exciting times to have chosen to be here.

The Threshold of a Dream

2011-10-26T14:58:00.001-07:00

We stand now at the Threshold of a Dream.

We have taken back our power through the Occupy Wall Street movement.

We have chosen to raise our vibrations to align with a higher and more aware, universal consciousness.

We acknowledge ourselves as creators and begin to direct the outcome for this planet.

The Occupy Wall Street movement, OWS, is a clear statement of intent to the ‘powers that were’. It tells them we will no longer be enslaved to their greed, lies, deceptions and manipulating global agenda. We have chosen to express our desire for their accountability, for our freedom and for a new way to conduct business and government with compassion and heart.

Critical mass has been reached by those who chose to align with their innate spirituality, their direct link with Spirit, Creator, Isness, no matter what name you call it. An extraordinary number of beings on this planet have made their desires felt. They have combined their energies, vibrations and Love into a harmonized web of consciousness surrounding this planet and it reflects love back to us. Not only has the internet made it easier to be connected, but this harmonized web of Love and Light makes us feel connected. We become more heart centered.

Many changes are happening on this planet right now. As the dark forces (the powers that were) are being blocked, many are abandoning their involvement with those forces. The new Light, solar and galactic, that now shines on to this Earth, is causing a soul wiggle, an awakening, a questing towards unconditional Love. As the Light gets lighter, it shines into the dark areas revealing the hidden agendas, the deceit and rampant power mongering by those dark forces. A desire for things to improve is visualized. In some areas: economic, healthcare, government, food and water quality, things may get worse before getting better. Like a fever, it must peak and then the worst passes and relief comes. And wondrous things are and will begin appearing in quick succession.

Many astonishing things are in store for us within the next year, even before the end of this year. Over five thousand secretly hidden patents for environmental clean up, clean power, alternative fuels and medical cures will be made available. A new monetary system, already devised, will be put in place. You can relax. People will be fed, cared for and responded to. Life will improve a hundred fold and fairly quickly. The perpetrators of crimes against humanity will be brought to justice.

We must remember that as we increase our personal vibrations to embrace Love and Light more fully, we must extend Love and Light to those who sought to destroy those dreams. It is our job as Lightworkers to remain calm when others become confused by all the suddenness of transparency and exposure of the far reaching lies they have been fed. Then the dawning of a new awareness will occur. Revenge, greed, hostility and separation will be things of the past. We are moving into an era of Love and Compassion towards all beings. Open your hearts and welcome it. It is our true galactic heritage.

Concepts such as guilt, judgment, abuse and disempowerment will no longer exist. This is a golden age we will welcome in through our raised vibrations. Our individual, planetary and universal DNA is shifting. Have you not felt those odd joint aches, strange sleep patterns, fleeting but odd, intense pains and other ‘ascension’ symptoms? They will be relieved. We will be well and healthy. We will feel vibrant and whole, loving and loved. We will be embraced lovingly into the arms of the universe as it was intended to be.

We will soon all have telepathic, psychic and other intuitive abilities. We are on the threshold of a dream. As we continue to passion for these higher states of awareness we are bringing them about. We are part of a community of beings in the universe who have assisted us throughout our planetary, human existence. Their presence will soon become known to the entire populous instead of only the governments and elite. It will be like a joyful reunion of family. Many people have never felt they fit in here on Earth. They will finally realize who their real brothers and sisters are. It will finally be home.

Dream the dream of connectedness, joy, love, peace, health and abundance for all. It is within our grasp. Dream. We stand on its threshold.

My Favorite Occupy Image

2011-10-19T15:02:00.000-07:00

This is undoubtedly my favorite image of OWS, the Occupy movement. I have no idea who did it or I would happily give them credit!

The origin of course for all you Dune fans is Frank Herbert's 'Dune' books about the planet Arakis and the 'elite' Harkonen!

So subtle!!! and brilliant!

Change and Constancy

2011-10-06T19:05:00.000-07:00

Flat, cold, asleep; the earth lies untouched by the warmth of rays.
Featureless but for pools of deep velvet, the land reveals not her secrets.
Jagged white-capped peaks suddenly thrust upwards and her first wonder is revealed.
Golden peach hues hug the dark smoky blue horizon, promising light and warmth, teasing the senses.
Hues hang heavenward, longingly, lingering in anticipation of the change to come.
Lights gathered together for comfort and safety appear nested in a valley along a ribbon of intense, cold blue.
The horizon’s light muddies; its passion dulled. Smoky clouds hold its light at bay, finally engulfing it in the moment of dawning.
A single strand of crisp blue is revealed.
A solitary line of dazzling light appears.

Day has awakened.

Water, land, islands, flora and civilization breathe themselves into the dawn. Another interval of reality blooms into consciousness.
Awakening to warmth, the slumbering land exhales and shrugs off the fog, now drifting slowly upward, exhausting itself in the new day’s eagerness.
Colors slip slowly down mountain peaks and in due course seep into the abyss of yawning gorges.
Change has come to this part of the planet, moving stealthily along until the entire planet awakens, and then returns to sleep each a scant half day later.

Night falls.

Change is the only constancy.

Information or Disinformation

2011-09-07T09:30:00.000-07:00

When I was little and our family gathered to watch TV, we’d watch the ads since the mute button hadn’t been invented yet. My mother would point out the omissions in them like “What aren’t they telling us?” or “What about the other choices?” or “Why don’t they try that beauty product on a 50 year old?” Through her constant awareness and outspoken comments we learned not to trust advertisements and to look beyond what we were told. We learned that what wasn’t said was as important as what was focused on. We learned to look for the bigger picture. That lesson has served me well.

Ads and news media operate with the same goals. They both intend to guide you in the direction they want you to go. They lead you into their agenda, not necessarily the best one for you. Ads tell you you’re not loveable if you don’t use their brand of mint; wear their jeans; or use their perfume. Their products may not be healthy, of good value or even well made. The hook is emotional; a fear of unlovability. They happily lead people like sheep to the slaughter on the altar of credit card debt, lack of self worth and impressing others in order to be loved. Truth in advertisement is almost non existent. They offer information but are really offering disinformation.

News media tells you a version of the reasons for wars, debt, spending, crime and drugs; but these are only the rationale they want you to believe. They may have nothing whatsoever to do with truth. You are being guided and directed, slowly, a little lie here, a little untruth there, using confusing disinformation, until you buy their big lies. We are now realizing that the secret agendas of those who covet money and power have manipulated information regarding politics, big business and military cover-ups. We only need look at Enron and Roswell to see the tip of the iceberg as to how we’ve been fooled and lied to. The truth is available via discerning sites on the internet and via your own knowing. But you have to turn off the news to reach your quiet, internal knowing.

These well trained manipulators use a dollop of truth to cover up the many falsehoods in their stories. Best of all is when the reporter believes what they write is ‘in the best interest of the public’ and becomes a pawn in someone else’s agenda by rearranging one or more facts. Believing they know best what the public wants, can handle or needs, keeps them giving editorial prozac to us. We can choose to stop taking these drugged stories by turning off the TV or radio. Limit your bad-news addiction.

Have you noticed that in order to attract viewers, TV shows have become increasingly graphic? Recently, bored in a hotel room, I watched CSI for the first time. I was shocked and by the end I felt sick. How do people watch these graphic horrors I asked myself. They had to be inured to it. Little by little with graphic news, graphic movies and horror films, fear is instilled, then constantly resupplied, causing these junkies to need another fix. Shows that raise the shock level, leaving nothing to the imagination, are created to satisfy that addiction.

You can wake up! Ask yourself why such shows don’t bother you? Millions of acts of kindness, generosity and love happen daily. The media chooses to focus on a minority of dreadful things. They are not the norm; yet media would have you think them commonplace. Why? Fear sells. If you are fearful, you can be manipulated and lied to easily. If you are fearful you will buy their products to stop being afraid. If you are fearful you will look to others to make your choices for you. If you are afraid, you cannot connect with your internal peaceful guidance that alerts you to lies. If you stay afraid, you become stuck in their agenda. That is the real goal of disinformation, your willing obedience. For many, being scared is an addiction that makes them feel alive. Personally I’d rather feel alive by having homemade cookies, a great meal or wild laughter with friends.

When you turn off the media and the external input, you are then free to ponder, to ask questions inside yourself and to reach that part of you that has wisdom. Your heart. Your feelings. Your gut. You are a storehouse of imagination and feeling. By mulling things over you can begin to notice the holes in the information you have heard. You become wise. You learn to trust your intuition.

There is an old bumper sticker saying “Question Authority”. Perhaps it should read “Question Information”.

Concept: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

2011-08-23T11:15:00.000-07:00

Do you remember The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis’ beloved story?

Project yourself into the world behind the wardrobe, behind the veil; the one you’ve forgotten. Project yourself forward into the times that are coming: the golden age. Remember.

See, feel and experience the peace, the love, the compassion and your remarkable, personal growth. Imagine you have had amazing experiences of leadership, of wisdom, and of knowing; of the ability to teleport, to move through wormholes and to speak telepathically. Feel what that was like. Know that you have had years, maybe lifetimes of such experiences that have transformed you into a wise and loving being. Bring that wisdom back through the wardrobe, into the you that exists here, now. This is your true self; your rightful heritage, the real you. Remember.

You are much more than you realize. All that you imagined you experienced in that other dimension is real. It is up to you to bring it forth and anchor it into this now experience, this reality. You have raised your consciousness, changed your DNA, and removed the veil. Now, step into your own personal power; the power that comes from love and compassion. This is who you really are. Remember.

Go ahead, imagine. And thus you have begun its creation.

Concept

2011-08-09T12:27:00.000-07:00

When you strip away the body, you are just a point of light.

Isn’t it silly then to get so attached to what the body looks like.

We wear this ‘coat’ for such a short time.

Instruct your subconscious to activate your DNA to remember its perfect health and let the rest go.

Your real job here is spiritual, not physical.

We’re Almost There

2011-08-01T11:06:00.000-07:00

We are in the midst of personal and planetary changes that have never happened this way before. Never has an entire planet with all its population taken the next step. We are moving towards, actually racing now, towards critical mass, wherein consciousness takes wing and flies, leaping off the ground, entering a different dimension. Our consciousness soars.

Many are going through stomach or intestinal disturbances as we process the great shifting of our selves and the planet. Many are experiences intermittent memory loss as they unconsciously flash in and out, back and forth between dimensions. The veils are so thin now. Upon return to this reality, we momentarily forget what we were saying or doing. It’s not dementia; it’s growth of the consciousness.

So what happens after critical mass is reached? For each person the experience will depend entirely on how they think, feel and create their world. For a long time now, we’ve heard such phrases as “thought creates” and ‘what you focus on you get more of”. So it is entirely up to you, dear reader, to determine your thoughts, feelings and focus. We are creating this next new world together. What would you like it to be?

If you find yourself in an unhappy or uncomfortable state, then take steps now to shift how you think about your state. Judging yourself worsens it. Know everything changes and it will pass. Know also that the grander, wiser part of yourself set this experience out for your benefit, not for your destruction. Pain can cause us to seek a different path. Joy tells us we’re on our best path. Whatever it takes, take the journey.

Recently I had a client in intense emotional pain. Instead of denying the pain, pushing it away, fearing drowning in it, I suggested she sense into her body and feel where that pain was. I suggested she look at it and see what it looked like. I reminded her to breathe through it and just allow it to be there. To stand witness to the pain is to acknowledge it. Once acknowledged, it has done its job of getting your attention and can leave. Amazed she whispered “It just dissolved and went away!” A physics law says ‘A thing is changed by observation’. Just the simple act of observing the pain was a revelation to her because her tears simply stopped. She didn’t drown in her feelings. She could breathe. She could allow the pain’s existence and just as with a whining child, once she paid attention, its whining stopped.

This simple method transmutes pain of any kind, physical or emotional. It releases it. By allowing and simply paying attention to it, it is transformed.

We are in a time of easy transformation right now. It is up to you how you approach your own situations. If you can’t control the external circumstances, you can surely be in charge of how your react to them. Your attitude, your observations and your allowance change you, releasing your slumbering, earthbound spirit to soar.

Set your intentions. Put your order into the universe telling it what you desire in your life. Now is the time.

Many things now promote higher vibrations within us such as:

*Light coming onto the planet. It now supports 4^th dimension experiences, not 3^rd.

*Planetary alignments help. Just as the Moon controls tides and cycles, the great planets affect us too. Their new and intense alignments have a huge affect on consciousness and its vibrations.

*The internet with its instantaneous connectivity to all things and its mass of revealed secrets, whistleblowers and behind the scenes revelations spurs us to greater learning and connectedness.

*Mass consciousness itself has awakened enough to be available to access it during sleep, meditation, quiet times, altered states and by wakeful intent.

Much that was hidden is being revealed regarding politics, economics and the ‘wizards behind the curtains’. Their control is shifting because we, us, individuals, you and I, decided to grasp the opportunity to awaken in our ascension.

Never before has a planet risen to this level. Using free will we are almost there, at critical mass, moving forward more and more quickly. We started out as drops of water on a plain, flowed into a small stream, joined a river and are approaching the ocean of Oneness. Along the way we learned we are not alone. Others think like us. We stopped being solely individual and joined the larger picture of wholeness, retaining our individual essences too. We are amazing. Never before has this been done on this scale.

Love and compassion are the hallmarks of the 4^th dimension.

We’re almost there. Hang in and hang on! Let’s see what we create. May it be joy filled and loving!

Eclipses and Your Emotions

2011-07-07T13:32:00.000-07:00

Have you been reflecting on the past lately? Past relationships, grandparents, old lovers, prior homes, trips you took, or the way things used to be when you were young? The power of these three eclipses (Solar: June 1 and July 1, 2011. Lunar: June 15, 2011) triggered these reflections. Don’t be surprised if it continues for a time, then just fades into your being here now. Eclipses have a powerful effect on our physical and emotional bodies. Just as the Moon affects the tides and monthly cycles, human and animal, and all planting cycles on the earth, it affects your body. Large heavenly bodies affect us. They are supposed to. It is being done FOR us, not TO us.

The Lunar eclipse, in the middle of the two solar eclipses created a fast flowing stream of emotions like a lazy river that comes to a narrow passage and being forced through becomes turbulent, white water. Very scary. Very necessary. Very exciting. Very perfect.

It was time to look at those old emotional patterns; to let them surface up from the subconscious. Perhaps you were fired from a job, left behind in a relationship that ended unexpectedly or began wondering about your great grandparents and what life was like for them. Being able to see your past in terms of patterns is an excellent opportunity to see what is unfinished emotionally.

Recently a client realized her unexpected memories of a long ago love were being brought up into her consciousness so she could see those unresolved causing her health issues today. They began then, a complex dynamic of self worth blows leading to chronic health issues: unmarried and pregnant; abandonment by her parents and fiancé, a quick rebound marriage, an abortion and a divorce. Rejection, abandonment and lack of control were internalized. Her willingness during the time of these eclipses to remove the veil of forgetfulness will lead to her healing of this chronic health issue. Using the energy of the eclipse to embrace the shadows and light of her emotional wounding has triggered her healing.

The Moon is our nearest orbiting heavenly body and so it has its very powerful effects on us. It has triggered many mysteries attempting to understand and explain its influence on us. In Latin it is Luna, the root word for lunacy and lunatic; reflecting the emotional upheaval of a full moon on humans. Police reports show increases of suicides, irrational behavior and violent outbreaks during the time of the full moon. Earthquakes, high tides and flooding are more apt to occur during full moons as its affect on water occurs. The human body is mostly water, thus we are greatly affected.

The Moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the sun. The Sun is solar, male energy because it actively pushes energy out, heat, light and solar flares, and is dynamic in its nature. The Moon is passive in its nature, feminine. It does nothing in and of itself. It simply reflects the light of the Sun; but in doing this nothing, it controls all life cycles on this planet. The power of this passive, nurturing, feminine nature is easily seen.

The Moon affects the subconscious and is connected to Sleep and your dreams. In ancient teachings it is associated with the back of then neck. This is considered to be the place of reception of spiritual information, often through the neck and throat area. This ability we have to use the lunar energy to bring information up from the subconscious for observation and review is most useful by analyzing our dreams. Learn to wake up and write them down. They are an invaluable and free tool to self understanding. Your dreams speak to you in metaphor, using images particular to you that help you understand what is going on daily for you. Dreams help you work out everyday events.

Amazingly the moon affects the involuntary body functions: breathing, heartbeat, reflex actions and reflective thinking. It governs those subconscious actions of the body just as it governs the automatic actions of the Earth: tides and tectonic energy movements. The Moon lets us experience the twilight part of our reality; our subconscious. In doing so, we get to choose either to hide in the shadows with uncertainty, poor vision and half truths; or to seek the light of clarity. Many on a spiritual path take a turn at this junction choosing to move into ego, pretending they are superior to others and they simply ignore their shadow sides.

A spiritual path cannot be completed without embracing one’s shadow side, that hidden part of our nature that stumbles, fears and has self doubt. On the ascension path, all of us, dirt as well as shiny halo, go together or we don’t go. Our job is to embrace that shadow into the light of allowance, acceptance and love. If this had happened earlier for my client, she would not have her chronic illness. The same is true for many others. But we can set aside these issues and move beyond them by embracing it all now.

We do not have to fix anything, simply love it. We do not have to dwell in the shadow; simply use its half light energy to begin awareness and acceptance of ourselves. We are all doing it perfectly, no matter what we are doing. We can’t get off the path of enlightenment; we just take detours.

As we awaken from the dream of illusion in this third dimension reality, we become aware the whole purpose of our existence was to awaken. The moon has done its job. It has let us glimpse our shadows and our light. It has shown us our subconscious. We now choose how to proceed by choosing the low vibrational path of service to self or the high vibrational path of service to other-selves, for we are all One. Everyone is a reflection of some aspect of you.

We’re Changing

2011-06-01T17:45:00.000-07:00

Have you been feeling odd? Sluggish? Tired? Unmotivated? Aches and pains in odd places? DO you seem uncoordinated and can’t think clearly? Join the club! You are ascending! This is the ascension process we’ve talked about; it’s here. Now.

If you were going to devise a way to shift the human body to be able to have greater abilities intuitively, empathically, compassionately, healing-wise, you’d create some changes in the physical being. That is what is being done. Your vibrations are increasing. So are the planet’s. This isn’t just airy fairy new age mumbo jumbo. It’s scientific fact. As the planet shifts so will you. Great weather changes are occurring, in seemingly surprising areas. So too will your own physical body experience surprising shifts where you don’t normally have a discomfort. Perhaps a hip, or rib or tailbone or shoulder that suddenly has deep and intense pain, for seemingly no reason at all. In some cases you will see a direct external cause but don’t get upset about it or locked in to knowing each cause. Each discomfort is a wake up or a shake up to the body to rearrange itself into a better pattern. These are temporary discomforts. This new and better pattern holds more light, more love and more alignment with the higher purpose of why you came here to earth and took on a body at just this particular time in our history.

You are part of the change we are making into the next dimension. We are changing from a carbon based body to a silicon based body. Pay attention to the foods you eat (organic, humanely raised, healthy, green) to support that shift to hold more light. Silicon is more crystalline in its properties. Crystals reflect and refract light. They also capture and direct sound; hence their use in radios, TVs and computers. Of course it is your reaction to the changes that make all the difference in the world (pun intended). Your emotions: fearful, embracing, joyous, resistance, anger, compassion and hope all add to the sum total of love or fear on this planet.

These personal and planetary changes seem drastic and unexplained. Recognize that mother earth, Gaia, is in the process of birthing and she is having birth pains. Her contractions affect us all. She is also shifting in order to position herself in a higher vibration allowing those being who co-exist with her, us, the animals and plants, to draw the higher vibrational sustenance and energies from her that support these changes.

There are three eclipses happening in a short span this next 30 days, as well as the solstice. There is a reason these huge planetary astrological shifts were tracked by the ancients. They have great impact on us. Just like the phases of the moon affecting the tides of the earth and the reproductive cycles of all beings on the planet; heavenly bodies affect us and the Earth. Eclipses have always meant great and important changes. Traditionally eclipses mean endings and thus beginnings. We shall have to wait to see what specific changes occur, but we already know that governments and economies are changing all over. I know it looks like wars and civil unrest are breaking out here and there but that is the last gasp of a difficult birth. Peace is being birthed in many places too. Hold on to that thought and the feeling of peace; for your thoughts and feelings are directly affecting this planet now more than ever. Create peace with your neighbors, co-workers and family. It starts there.

The new energies are causing alignment between our thoughts so they affect this planet and our reality, our very existence, more immediately and more directly. What we focus on becomes manifest more and more quickly. It is now more important than ever to monitor your thinking. Are you in judgment, fear, anger, resentment? Then you will experience such things in your world for that will be your focus.

Your thoughts are orders to the universe. The universe recognizes your direct orders and if your focus/order to the universe is fear, then that is what your direct order will bring you. Now is the time to pay attention. It’s not hard. Just be aware. Choose 51% of the time to be in joy, to be loving, forgiving, happy and allowing. We are still human, but we are not limited. We are growing, learning and creating our next experience based on our individual thoughts NOW. If you would like peace, joy, abundance and love then focus on that now and it will be your next now too.

The more people choose these thoughts, the more effective and quicker the results. You think “My thoughts don’t do anything.” Look at the harmonic convergence August 16^th, 1987. Those ‘few’ participants (numbered in the hundreds of thousands, not millions!) who consciously recognized it was a time to create change and to bring about lasting peace and love, changed the direction of this world. All the ancient prophets predicted annihilation of this planet around the year 2000; but those predictions were cast aside and overridden by the peaceful outpouring of the harmonic convergence intentions of a few hundred thousand. This ground swelling of intention continues to create a better world and to end destruction of this planet and conflict has grown to massive proportions.

We are part of an enormous movement to create a thousand years of peace and with it, a human body that is shifting and improving to be in alignment with that next step. We stand on the threshold of human species evolution. We are becoming the missing link to the next type of human. When science looks back, they will see a giant shift in consciousness that resulted in human adaptation to mind travel, psychic abilities, telepathy, community connectedness, peace, interstellar communication and a inclusion in the community of galaxies of non humans. We will take our well earned and rightful place among the peoples of the stars.

Our little planet and we on it are ascending into the embrace of the galactic union. Others have gone before us, the Mayan, the Incans, and other native groups who lived in spiritual awareness. Those Earth civilizations have joined non Earth cultures in a spiritual dimension of existence. Do not doubt they still exist, for energy does not die, it simply is transformed. The rest of the universes’ beings are present though many cannot yet see them, to witness this never before accomplished transition of an entire planet into its higher vibration.

One scientific principle states that a thing by observation is changed. These higher vibrational beings from many dimensions have come to witness our changes. They are in awe of us. By their observation they help change us for the better. So too, these grand beings are assisting us without interference. Much like when you go to a concert your love, joy and happiness are food for the performers and their performance changes based on the audience. So too our changes are assisted by these intergalactic observers.

We are supported by the new light that is beaming onto this planet now. Yes, our sun has changed. It is now putting out light different from before. Its vibrations and energies are creating prana that surrounds us and allows us to breathe in this ‘food’ that helps us shift.

We are changing. Thank heavens. Just don’t worry. Twinges, discomfort and shifts both of us and the planet are normal. If you add fear then that is your journey. If you add understanding, allowance and ease, that will be your experience. Stay calm. We are all in this together. It’s the best ride of our lives and we signed up for it before we came into these bodies. What a ride! Let’s make it amazing by focusing on Love. After all, it is a birth we’re witnessing!.

Channeled Messages

2011-04-05T13:30:00.000-07:00

I received an email asking the following: Are channeled messages always coming from loving beings or are there beings who are not so loving and whose messages are not to be trusted? Are there some ‘ET’s’ for lack of a better word, who are out to do us harm where the message and the messenger are just pulling the wool over our eyes and we initially think they are here to help us or save us or protect us? How do we recognize which are sources of truthful information?

My response

Love doesn’t create fear; so all messages that create fear do not come from loving beings. Some come from beings with a lower vibration that includes distortion and fear. The higher vibrations can communicate truth without all that fear stuff.

For example

When well intentioned parents prevent their children from being informed about ‘family secrets’ that will blow up in their face, were they doing it out of love or fear? If a parent teaches a child to behave or the boogie man will get them, is this love or fear? It’s not always so easy to distinguish. However, they meant well. The same is often true for non humans too.

Yes, there are some ETs (Extra Terrestrials) out there with a different agenda, aligned with their own purposes for chaos and disruption. Just because an ET race is technologically advanced or highly intelligent does not mean they are spiritually advanced. Just like humans, some are loving; some aren’t.

Learn to discern truth by how you feel about any communication, including TV ads, news, and messages from in body or out of body teachers. In channeling there is always distortion because info is coming thru a human instrument.

Some channels can be good almost all the time: Abraham-Hicks (http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/about_abraham.php), Jani King channeling Pta’ah (www.ptaah.com), Steve Rother channeling ‘The Group’ (http://www.lightworker.com); and David Wilcock using dreams like Edgar Cayce (www.DivineCosmos.com). Some channels I used to like have become VERY uneven and engender fear with great distortions and some are all fear based now. The people channeling them have not maintained a high enough vibration.

So it is all about how you feel, in your gut. Ask yourself as you listen to something “How much of this is true?” if you get a sense it is below 90%, you might want to rethink giving credence to the speaker. Many speakers are 30-70% truthful... That makes them useless and their information destructive; disseminating fear, lies, etc as truth.

ET’s with high vibration and spiritual awareness engender empowerment. Loving beings are interested in raising our vibrations and our enlightenment... that is: Awakening the Light already residing within each of us. High vibration channeling does not do predictions of fear. Remember what you focus on you will get more of. They do not give dates of events; perhaps they give a time frame approximation, but time is very different from their perspectives. If there is a specific date, it is definitely the channel’s human input/distortion.

Words and phrasing that engender superiority, separation, chosen few and prejudice are all low vibration rubbish.

Phrases to watch out for and what they really mean:

1. “assigned the task” sets the speaker above and superior to the listener. This is done to gain control and power and authority over, which no loving being does.

2. “cannot allow” or “will not permit” interferes with choice and advanced beings do NOT interfere. We are not victims to be saved nor children who cannot make decisions and choices. Free will is a sacred gift and truthfully, the amazing thing that brought us to this place of transformation of our planet! We are already awesome!

3. “they/we activated special codes” again speaks of elitist separation, interference and rescue of us poor things who have no abilities when quite the opposite is the real truth.

4. “you will be guided” is again disempowerment as though beings outside of you will guide you. Real channeling speaks to the guidance within and learning how to trust it.

5. “do it now” again implying fear and an agenda timeline. Not allowing for choice of NOT doing something.

6. “telling you NOT to do” such and such. Guidance never says NO. Guidance always says ‘you might want to consider this as a better choice, but it is always your choice’. If you are hearing NO, it is your internal self. This is not a bad thing, it is your knowing (get the pun?)

Truth rings true. Learn how to discern for yourself. Do NOT go into fear over this. Simply start by surrounding yourself in the highest vibration of light and love. Then distortion will find it difficult to exist in your personal energy field, as it will be incompatible with your location, timing, desire, energy, vibration, intent, etc. Your own higher vibrations will attract high vibrational speaking, internal and external. It is that simple. Put yourself in that high vibration through reading uplifting books, music and meditation.

Remember, when all else fails, and you find yourself in fear just love your fear. Embrace it all. It is a part of you and thus it is all divine. Just love it.

Since we truly create everything in our reality, it does mean that you ‘brought’ good emails to you. It is a reflection of your consciousness and the powerful positive vibrations you emit. Since we are truly all ONE and thus everything is an aspect of us, we may bring fear emails to us too. That is the time to embrace the fear, thus transmuting it. You may wish to delete it, but just love it and let go... and then it’s changed.

We are all messengers and will be needed more and more as fear amps up! People need an alternative and those of us holding soothing information, awareness, calmness and love will be guided to send those messages and guided to teach, lead and be in the forefront of one, few or many at a time!

One at a time you will help calm.. just by being on the planet. A word, a look, a comment, a forwarded email. All is divine, thus we must accept that which we have judged and by loving it, transmute it to its higher vibration.

Trust your gut. If it feels bad, upsetting and fearful, love it and let it go. If it feels loving and joyful, pass it on. If you wish to see a truly loving, soft, soothing video about the times coming, I recommend this one: The Year of Illumination by Lee Harris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr4TC32XUTE.

The greatest thing you can do on this planet is to be in joy; an astounding vibration. Just laugh and you’ll see what I mean. Can’t laugh? Then smile and here’s something to smile about.

“The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!”

In joy,

Dolly Mae, author and speaker.

The Psychic Gift

2011-02-22T13:46:00.000-08:00

Many people think a psychic is a fortune teller, but the gift of ‘seeing’ goes far beyond something so simple. You each have the ability should you choose to develop it and that merely means to trust it and allow it; but your own fears stand in the way. So what is an easy way to get past your fear? Just love yourself. Most of all our problems, fears and personal judgments come from not loving ourselves.

Our sacred institutions teach us that the best way to live is to love others, deny self and sacrifice. But the Source of all this guidance is a Being of such unconditional love that no fault is judgable; no action is outside or beyond the realm of constant love. The awareness of such a Being is the knowing that you are unique and divinely created. You are the proof.

There can never be another you. You are the pinnacle of your life’s existence. You are the culmination of millions of years of evolution of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual you. No one else can do you. You are it. So be you. You are your perfect gift to the universe. Your worth lies in your beingness, not in your accomplishments. So go ahead, achieve success, but in alignment with a conscious awareness of where your true value lies, in your existence, not in your bank account balance, not in your perfect marriage, not in your well aerobicized body, but in the miracle of your existence.

When you were born and came fresh from the womb, there was wonder in the miracle of you. That is still there, but if you are looking for acclaim of the wonders of you, outside of yourself, you have lost the point. It is within you, always ready to shine forth as you bring conscious focus to it in your daily life.

Each time you choose to align with the vibration of love in a tough situation instead of anger, resentment, fear or frustration, you choose for Love. In doing so, you become the Light for others. You don’t have to go anywhere, do anything or win in any manner; you already have ‘won’ by your very existence. No one else can ever be you; you ARE DOING it perfectly.

Many people ask me “How did you become psychic?” They expect an answer that will be so shocking and beyond their ability they can remain asleep, reinforced in their fearful belief that they are less than. But I tell you we are no different in our potential. I would rather regale you with my many great disasters and failures so you can believe yourself better if that will encourage you to own your own power and awaken your potential.

Some of you are awakening and feel a deep gut level urge that there is more to this reality, but have yet to take the second step on the seekers path. Begin to read, take a class, meditate. No step is wrong. Just choose again and again until you find passion. Feed that hunger that food won’t satisfy. You, your fears, your hopes, your intimate moments, your aliveness, your reason for existence, your relationship to God and to the Universe are the most interesting topics imaginable to you. Don’t deny it. We are fascinated by ourselves; and rightly so.

We are the conscious, communicating expressions of Divinity. We cannot do it wrong. We can only make choices that hurt the physical us, never the spiritual. That is the part of us that we don’t talk about because it is too intimate, too personal, too mushy; especially those of us who think we have to express more masculine energy in our self control and in our business world. Our spiritual aspect is the most precious part of ourselves. It is the real us.

It is the reason we go into relationships, to find out who we are in relationship to something else. When we find out we are not being ourselves, not being who we really want to be in a relationship, we disconnect from it, and needfully so. We then get on with the next relationship to learn another aspect of who we really are, to choose a new way, a new us. But most of the time we don’t take the opportunity for the growth and change offered in these new relationships. It’s safer to fall in to old patterns, and so we get hurt again; but only until we wake up to our own inner strength by being ourselves. It starts by loving ourselves first instead of criticizing or judging.

We are grand beings of magnificence and beauty. Our individual capacity to love is only equaled by the love Creator/Oneness/Isness has for us. We each wait for that one special person to come into our lives and love us. Don’t wait. Practice loving with your whole being, from your heart, in each moment. Start by loving yourself. You are a miracle of creation and worthy of the Love. Each moment is the place to choose; love or not.

My greatest teacher said “Joy is always a choice.” I finally understood it when one night in his audience I was thinking of all the process servers coming to my home daily to serve foreclosure notices on me. I couldn’t face them anymore, the shame and humiliation was too much. I would hide by my door in my home unable to answer the bell one more time, to swallow pride and be shamed yet again. Then as I thought those things, I heard the teacher say “In any moment you can choose joy.” And so I got it. I thought to myself. “Do you mean that when the process servers are delivering such terrible news, often several times daily, that I could actually choose joy? If so, then I’ll do it. NOT TRY, DO. So the next day I greeted the process server with joy in my heart and he told me a happy story of its being his anniversary and the surprise he planned for his wife. How amazing. All my fears were gifted with boundless love and joy because I had chosen it.

So too can you, in each now moment, choose joy or choose fear. One aligns with the true unconditional love of Creator, the other with your own fear and decision to not align with love. It is always your choice. Choose consciously that which speaks to the highest part of you and you will always choose well.

The gift of love begins and ends with you. It is bestowed by you and received by you. Love is your Light; keep shining it.

A Breath of Fresh Air

2011-01-11T12:51:00.000-08:00

This week someone asked me what I see for the coming year. In general I see there will be scattered pockets of joy and fear, abundance and poverty. This is the very real time of creating our own experiences based on staying aware, conscious and open. Which one will we choose to be in? It is literally our choice.

A dear friend’s husband was just laid off. In her email she said “Wahoo! A vacation!!!” Now THAT’s attitude! Such attitude will bring another excellent job soon.

Recently I had a conversation about a mutual friend. Just by talking about things, I could see a custody battle and lawsuit coming up, an increase in income and many other surprises. Months later it all turned out to be true and our mutual friend now wishes he’d had a conversation with me too. Why? Because he wished he’d been prepared for what was coming.

The most personal information comes when you and I have just such a conversation. Mental pictures freely download into my consciousness with insights into the twists and turns of events to come. Nuances are shown to me in visions and metaphoric images
Our own minds play hide and seek with information we are too afraid to look at. Not that it will be bad, we’re just afraid it might be, so we hide from knowing.

With me, you’ll be getting a reading from someone who is not afraid to look and who receives insight that can be most helpful in getting unstuck and being prepared.

It’s like opening a window for fresh air.

These times of change are amazing and exciting. The changes will be different for each person based on their personal veil of love and self worth and fear. This is what we discover in a session.

A breath of fresh air can happen over the phone, in an office or a restaurant and usually involves a cup of tea too! Fresh air is very healing.

I look forward to our heart to heart conversation with insights.

The Cold

2010-12-28T10:30:00.000-08:00

Before enlightenment, having a cold meant ten days of misery, getting through the details of congestion, stuffiness and breathing difficulties, seeing a doctor and taking prescribed meds.

After enlightenment, having a cold means ten days of trying to figure out what emotional difficulty this dis-ease was caused by. It means guilt for not being the perfect enlightened being or spiritual enough to have prevented it. It means trying to figure out what’s wrong with you. It means having ones enlightened friends suggest reasons for your emotional distress. It means taking herbs and following non traditional healing modalities in addition to allopathic medicines that seem appropriate.

It means friends offering healing tips and tinctures. They are very kind and very well intentioned. They recognize we are all one and can help each other to heal. It feels loving and nurturing. It reminds me of my wholeness.

We have come a long way from those pre-awareness days and still need to go a bit further. Enlightened colds mean I just say yes to the process; just relax into it. We are probably quite aware of the reasons for the emotional congestion causing the cold as its basis is very recent, not like some illnesses that take months or years to develop.

I came back from a holiday with a lovely cold. I know its causes. There are several. It’s not just one simple thing. We are complex beings and the source of this congestion is complex too. That doesn’t mean it’s difficult to figure out, just that it has many sources. So I cancelled appointments and get-togethers and simply stayed home, slept, took herbs, drank liquids and nurtured myself. At these times my body craves good foods: greens, wholesome liquids, and complex carbs like nuts and grains. I listen to my body. I nurture it and feed it those things it needs. I don’t always follow exactly what it says; I still have my preferences and little food addictions, but I do listen more closely. I ask myself, do I want this food or herb and then wait for my body and subconscious to answer. For the most part I pay heed.

The most important thing is that I relax into the experience and don’t resist it. I no longer do the angst thing berating myself for not being more spiritually aware. My body is just talking to me and I listen. The manifestation of a cold has occurred in the physical body since I didn’t listen well to my spiritual and mental messages beforehand. The body wants me to finally get it and pay attention. I must remember I created this experience, not because I’m dumb or unenlightened, but because I am choosing to go through it and get a message from my higher self. Now here comes the interesting part; I don’t have to know why. I don’t have to analyze it. I just get an opportunity to be aware, conscious and loving to myself. I get down time. It is a time for me to focus on me.

The more I love me during this experience, the more love emanates from me, surrounds me and helps heal me. I love me by taking herbs and remedies that will strengthen my body’s immune system and help me move through this experience in the best way. I love me by simply aligning with the experience. I do not resist it. I refrain from getting angry or upset with my body’s responses.

I remember that I am not my cold. I am much more than my cold and I bring those higher aspects of myself into me. I focus on the healing color green and visualize it entering my body, healing me. I visualize the highest possible, perfect remedy, not even knowing what it might be. I see that remedy infusing my body, healing it. I let go and relax. I can just be with this thing I have created. What an interesting journey to watch it as it moves through my body. I know on every level of me that it is just perfect. I don’t have to know why, just align with knowing that it is.

This is my second cold in two months. Prior to that I hadn’t had a cold in years. I thought I was pretty good, had gotten it; understood how to stay healthy. Oops! So two colds in two months is a big sign for me. I know we are living in a time of massive energetic shifting. Our DNA is changing. We are becoming the missing link that future archeologists will wonder about. Viruses are one way we change that DNA, so I like to think that I’m using a gentle virus, just a cold virus, to do that shifting. I like my little story line; it makes me feel better. I get to see my cold in a positive light and that’s the best way to heal.

I don’t have to know THE reason for these colds. Perhaps it was just so I could write this article. It doesn’t matter. We all know it’s the journey that counts, so it’s how I move through this experience that adds love to the world or fear.

I choose love. This is a great cold. I must remember to thank it.

The following is an email exchange when ‘Kate’ responded to a recent article I wrote describing my personal financial failure. I have changed the name and certain small details for obvious reasons. All emails took place the same day. More is revealed as you keep reading. Spelling and punctuation are retained in tact. I was already having a horrible email morning when this arrived in my inbox.

Subject: Remove me from your god damn list

TAKE YOUR "$25 million loss" AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR A$$!!! I've never even had $10,000 at one time. I was born with nothing and never was even granted inheritance when family members with money died (every one in my family are selfish shitslaves) so why the fuack should I give ANYTHING to you aside from grief? Go float off a metaphysical pier!

Kate

10:43 AM same day

Dear Kate,

Thank you thank you for your wonderful email! In a nightmare morning your email got me over the top laughing hysterically till I coughed and sputtered! You probably hope I choked, but I rallied and am fine.

I have nothing to defend or prove. In the midst of my crazy destruction after 17 yrs of working 18 hour days, I found how to be truly happy no matter what is going on. You have essentially reminded me of that in my face! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My server had a problem this morning and 1400 emails have gone very haywire, multiplied over and over. No matter, it is just a part of the experience of living.

I truly do thank you and wish you well.

In grace and gratitude.

LOL.... Thank you for handling my scorpio (sting*sting*sting*sting) flair up with so much grace! You're obviously highly motivated and have a great spirit so for that I commend you. Life is just way frustrating for me right now. Thank you for handling me better than I think any one probably has in a very long time. Bless you. I'm sorry I was such a jerk. So cool you travel so much. Hopefully if I pick up my attitude and work with more sincerity I can do the same too some day. After all amid my financial adversity (I really am in a state of near-poverty and would be totally homeless if it wasn't for my boyfriend) I do work as a razzafraggin' clown.

Kate

Kate, I have blessed you all day,... I am truly delighted to hear back from you. All that passion!!! Verve!!! You must love life to express that way! Truly I was not offended as much as you popped my frustration bubble!

My server got stung and my 1400 clients got zapped with hundreds and hundreds of spam emails. I've been fielding calls and emails all morning.. But yours will always stand out and my most beloved! I saved it in my file called "Letters of Appreciation"... truly.

I do understand all that fear you are going through. I remember walking through a grocery store parking lot with my husband and being struck by the awareness we had no money for food and could starve. He stood facing me, grabbed my shoulders and said "We will always have enough money for food." He got thru/past my fears. Fear doesn't relate to how many zeros are on the sum of your loss: $25 or $25 thousand. Same fear.

You will get past this. See/feel/know.. but mostly FEEL what it's like to be safe, then feel abundant. It is the power in the feeling that will shift your world the most. Because right now you are feeling fear and it is creating more fear.

I truly honor your journey. Mine included real suicidal planning. My world is very different now. Yours will be too. Choose, choose, choose joy over and over. Start with feeling grateful for something, anything. Then something else, and then more. Your emails say you are strong, vibrant and full of life. You have someone who is there... you have already manifested well. Keep building on it.

Blessings and love to you on your journey.

In Grace and Gratitude,

Dolly

Ps.

I forgot to tell you, I'm a Scorpio too!!!

love and light,

You are soooo sweet! It's all these energies right now.

p.s. so do you want to stay on my email list now????

Laughter and tears... aren't they just the best!

Love and light,

ps. I'm crying too... because our connection reminds me we are all one.

Thank YOU!

Awww!! Sure, I'll stay on your list.. I was going to say that I will anyway. :)

Isn’t this the way it’s supposed to be???

Most assuredly, it is.

I recommend failure highly. It is something most of us will achieve in our lives. It’s like a huge makeover of years of accumulated ideas, beliefs, things, relationships and fears. And we all love makeovers.

I failed spectacularly in this life. In some countries bankruptcy means complete loss of respect and reputation. You are shunned. But in the experience, I learned so much.

Failure is only a stepping stone. Failure only happens when you stop trying and believe that you are beaten. Failure is the foundation to your next step. It lets you sweep away the old and begin fresh again.

If you don’t already know about my personal failure, suffice it to say the now infamous Fanny Mae, the quasi-federal lender, issued a policy change around 1985 to stop lending to anyone owning more than five rental properties. I owned 650. I needed 40 more Fanny Mae loans. My life abruptly changed, ending in a $25 million dollar bankruptcy. I lost everything; owed the IRS $300,000.00; lost my home, my business, my income, my properties and my marriage.

Even in the midst of the ensuing chaos, hope dawned. Failure became the uncompromising foundation, hard and firm, to begin again. The question before me was “Do you want to repeat what you’ve already done?” I did not. I’d already done that business to death. I moved into and then fully chose a completely different path, one I never knew even existed. The gut wrenching loss allowed for that new opportunity. All the old had been swept away and I had a clean start.

Passing through that dark place of suicidal intentions, I moved on. Self worth destroyed; future in doubt in every way, survival was necessary once I chose life.

Now a clean slate can be a scary thing. I decided that I could either be scared or excited. Scared wouldn’t help and both feelings are like butterflies in the stomach. I chose to be excited. Remember when you were in school and couldn’t wait to be graduated? Everything was possible. The world was your oyster. You just needed to be set free to conquer it. It was exciting. You were filled with anticipation of the first job, being out in the real world and making your mark. Life after failure was the same thing. I knew I could either embrace that wondrous excitement or hang on to the fear of what I’d lost.

Many times one cannot see the possibilities, the reasons, the clean slate of opportunities when the muck and mire of failure and loss seems to drown you. My shift came through curiosity. I have always loved learning and researching; teasing out the solution to a puzzle; and I was certainly in the biggest puzzle of my life. I chose to read a book unrelated to my business. I was curious. I wanted to escape. That book piqued my interest to begin a quest to understand myself, the universe and those big questions about the meaning of life and my part in it.

I read voraciously, 450 books in one year even in the midst of the bankruptcy issues. I couldn’t stop. I was enthralled, fascinated. Half way through all that learning, I saw an ad for a lecture on one of the topics in those books and went. Finally I’d found real food for the soul. I was hooked. The financial crisis began to fall into a perspective and became more of a background to my life, instead of my whole life. The awareness I was grasping through the books and the teacher easily became more engrossing than the financial distress. What I was discovering gave me a new way to understand what had happened. It gave me an opportunity to think about my life in a new way and to see new and very different possibilities.

Because I pursued this new knowledge with passion, I fell down Alice’s proverbial rabbit hole deeper and deeper and found more passion, knowledge and truth and called it food for my soul. I found so many new interests I felt good about. My new love became Tarot, the ancient method of divination, self analysis, spiritual growth and the soul’s journey. It was complex, deep, comprehensive, multi-layered and fascinated me endlessly. After 20 years it still does!

I cannot imagine any journey being more exciting. I was grateful that I’d had that fulfillment of having had lots of money and the things money could buy. Though I was never truly what I call wealthy, the billionaire type, I certainly lived a life that was free from want and full of luxury. I often meet people that say “Gee I wish I could …. Live in a big home; drive a luxury car; take a trip; etc, etc. Been there done that and it was grand! But the point is BEEN there. I don’t have to revisit it. I am fortunate and grateful to have experienced it. I neither fear nor crave such a reality again. It is a nice balanced place to be.

No matter how far you fall into failure, no one can remove your knowledge. It is your self worth you must repair; that and your passion. One will lead into the other.

My passion for Tarot led me to begin doing readings for others. It became the next part of my life, these 20 years. You can bankrupt the entrepreneur, but you can’t take away the entrepreneurial spirit. So my business, metaphysical and right brained, took on an entrepreneurial flair.

Failure was my springboard to a new life. Chaos and depression were experiences to acknowledge, embrace, and nurture consciousness. My whole next 20 years proceeded in unimagined ways from the foundation of total failure. Thank god I lost everything. Yes, it was painful and there are more benefits from having experienced that shift than I could ever have imagined as I was passing through it.

Because I moved into this strange world of peculiar knowings, intuitions and medical intuitives; I was diagnosed and healed of cancer all within one week. Had I never lost it all, the diagnosis would have come long after; the potential healing would have been a totally different path and who knows its outcome. I have often wondered if my properties, all in inner cities, would have survived the meth labs and lead paint and mildew problems that plague older, inner city property. I loved what I did, but certainly the stress had its impact.

My life is much simpler. My life style has changed little. My only real indulgence in the old days was dining out. I still love it but with all the fatty, starchy, fried restaurant foods, I actually prefer to cook at home using healthier ingredients. I am happy. The basic tenets of my first and most beloved teacher on this new path were “Drink Water. Choose Joy and Live in the Now”. It has become The Way for me.

I recommend failure highly. Use it well.

Ghostbusting

2010-08-03T23:03:00.000-07:00

Recently I was hired to do a ghost busting in an apartment complex. During the last six years there had been two stunningly strange residents there. The manager shared only this information with me. I’ll walk thru it as I experienced it.

When I am scheduled to do a cleansing of a unit I do some preliminary work first. During the previous few days I had sensed, felt and worked with the energies there inside AND outside the unit. Like aromas, energy doesn’t just stop at the door or wall but permeates a larger area. The extent of that area depends on the strength of that energy, just like aromas. Think of bread baking and you’ll see what I mean.

The unit was on the top floor of a two story building. The manager was aware of energy or she would never have contacted me. I told her she could be there while I worked if she wished. It turned out she was very sensitive and aware. Such a person is a big help in these situations. One more energy to assist and support and strengthen a focus to cleanse.
You know the old adage, “where two or more are gathered together…”;it certainly compounds our potency.

Immediately upon walking in the doorway I was aware of a formidable presence, like an armoured warrior, tall, hulking, arms crossed, feet spread apart, defensive, but not really threatening, just stalwart. I was surprised by the immediacy of the connection. Usually leftover spirits are in the building somewhere but rarely ‘greet’ you at the front door! So I asked silent permission to enter the apartment. This was simply a request. I am a strong personality and so it was not a meek request. The spirit stepped back and I entered.

In the work I had done prior to this appointment I was told by inner guidance to bring several tools. So I brought things that represented Earth, Air, Fire and Water. These are the four elements that create balance and grounding. Each one can become a doorway for a lost spirit to exit the premises. I had brought sage and cedar to burn. These things are ancient ways that in their burning reflect the shift of energies into smoke (transformation) and that smoke is offered as prayer and cleansing and a way out for the spirit. It is a very Native American way to use. I had also brought sea salt to be used in a glass bowl. Salt is of the earth; so is glass. Its dissolution in water is another form of transformation… another doorway out. Salt water also acts as a magnet for energies. After clearing the bigger energies, it would collect the ‘breadcrumbs’ that might be left over.. residual echoes.

I immediately surveyed the tiny apartment and saw there were four or five spirits in there: the guy at the door, one in the Living Room up on the wall; one in the bedroom cowering back in the corner and one in the bathroom. The kitchen was clear. Ultimately it turned out there were only four, because the guy in the bedroom was frantically running back and forth to the bathroom. It is unusual to have so many, no wonder they’d called me. It must have been very difficult to live near all that. To relate, think: noisy neighbors, activity at odd hours all night and weird, chaotic behavior.

I placed the salt in the glass bowl and filled it with water from the kitchen there (water and earth combined). Then I put that bowl at the front door, between the legs of that big guy I’d first met. The intent was sort of like the genie returning to the bottle… sucked in, so to speak. He was gone by the time I left without doing anything more. I actually feel he was a guardian for those other spirits, giving them a space to exist and simultaneously, unfortunately, keeping them there. When they were gone, so was his job. Poof, genie back in his bottle, or salt bowl!

Then I lit two small candles I’d brought and placed them per inner guidance; one in the Living room on the baseboard heater and one likewise in the only bedroom. (fire, air and earth combined). My conscious mind wondered why on the heaters? It would be revealed in its own good time. My job is to trust my guidance and stay focused on connecting and healing. It doesn’t matter that a physical person isn’t there; the energy is in need of healing; so that is my task. I was placing the candles to anchor the healing energies.

Then I lit the small cedar bough in a shell ‘ashtray’. I used a feather to waft the resultant smoke all over the apartment. Occasionally I’ll chant and felt a need to do so here. I used a Native chant and later a Sanskrit chant. Two very different energies were there and required different applications. The voluminous smoke affected the spirit in the bedroom mostly. Cowering in the corner he was yelling “Burn! Burn! Burn!” I asked the manager why he’d be saying that; had he started fires? “Yes”, she replied once in this apartment and once in another one there. Ah, that’s why the candle on the heater… all about heat and fire. In a strange way, it seemed reasonable, sort of like an underscore of hot, and anger and fire. He was very afraid, but not of me. I sensed he’d been cowering in that bedroom many times. He was very mentally ill. He darted into the bathroom. I followed and he ran back and forth, bedroom, bath. I kept wafting the feather and cedar smoke cleansing in that corner. I talked with him, like you would a child, soothing, loving, caring; telling him he could let go now, he could leave, he needed to leave. More smoke, more talk, more chant, more focus.

Then I lit the sage and using the feather wafted it everywhere too. In closets, cupboards, all over. I used the Sanskrit chant now. He was softening. In the bathroom I sensed the toilet as a huge problem. I asked the manager what was the story about the toilet, did the guy have terrible diarrhea or what, that there was a big focus on the toilet. She replied that he kept shoving things down it and they’d have the plumbers there regularly. Fetish perhaps or metaphorically, trying to get rid of aspects of himself.

To do this work, you need to realize that much of what you’ll experience is a metaphor for the spirits’ perceptions of reality. So I can interpret much like I would a dream. Look up toilet in a good dream book and you’ll see what I mean.

The cleansing of the bathroom, a focus on healing, the chanting and the two kinds of smoke seemed to be enough that he faded away and was gone.

The manager informed me the former resident was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. Ah, no wonder. His chaotic energies caused the whirlwind of dysfunction that still remained energetically here. Each of us leaves an energy trail… happiness, joy, anger, chaos or love in varying degrees based on intent and focus. This unhappy and ill man was severely focused and intentful and left his negative energy big time.

Next the entity on the Living Room wall appeared to be feminine. She was an adult but with the mind of a child, maybe 4 yrs old. I took the salt water in the bowl and dipping my fingers in it flicked water droplets up into the air, not on her. All the while I was talking with her. The water, which I had blessed, appeared to her as multicolored soap bubbles. I was connected with her and seeing from her point of view as well as mine. She was fascinated by the bubbles and relaxed enough to tell me her story. Now this isn’t in complete sentences, but in images. She whimpered “Pain! Pain!” She’d been gang raped and a knife had been used. She was wounded indeed on many levels. But she remained fixed on the ‘bubbles’ which I continued to flick with the water. I relayed this to the manager who asked “Would any of this be influenced by me, because I was gang raped and they held a knife to my throat.” Oh my, I thought. This was not her as the entity on the wall, but was an energy drawn in to this place by the chaotic forces at work. Because the manager had that personal experience she would be much more empathic to another’s. So a door was left open to magnetize such. Knowing this now, the manager can close that door to any future matching entity.

All the while the manager was wonderful. She was holding the space just simply being present and focused. She wasn’t in fear. She held the space of love and allowance. She was wonderful.

I had brought my favorite Nag Champa incense; lovely Tibetan stuff. I never felt the need to use it, but asked the manager if she needed it. She said it was her favorite and she’d just run out of it. Perfect.

So the woman on the wall was now gone, soothed as a child, and told to go to the light where they would love her and she would be safe.

The burn, baby, burn guy was gone from the bedroom, directed to the light and no longer needing to cower and fear. He was the entity in the bathroom too; so there’d only been three in the apartment.

The big guardian at the door was gone as there was no longer a need to keep the entities in the apartment.

I did a little prayer of thanksgiving and closing, removed the candles, and all my paraphernalia and we left.

Driving home I felt severely nauseous, like I’d need to pull over and throw up. Instead, I imagined that same, but huge lovely soap bubble. I move all the entities’ negativity that remained within and around me to the edges of that beautiful multicolored bubble and then burst it. POOF! All gone.

Later the manager emailed me saying she felt terribly nauseous and had severe diarrhea. I told her this not unusual and how to use that soapbubble to poof it away. She did and it was gone.

So now you know what it’s like doing a cleanse, commonly referred to as a Ghostbusting. It’s not spooky. Just open yourself and create a loving space for communicating. Turn them towards the light and give a little loving nudge. They are lost. Show them the way home. Mostly just speaking to and nurturing, loving and suggesting are your tools. Don’t forget to cleanse yourself after the connection. Very simply, command it “I am cleansed”. And so you are.

Boundary Dispute

2010-08-01T23:44:00.000-07:00

THE SITUATION:
(After many years using a common gravel road access to their home, a neighbor has blocked it off.) In an email the client writes:
“Well we have NO rights.
They called the police, said I gave her the bird....I didn't, but basically we are in the wrong....we have NO rights.
The policeman was very nice, but had a copy of our NO rights...Basically our road stops at the house just before us.
Called title company, talk about B.S and no help.....basically we have no rights......and we can't pick and choose the way we want to get to our home. We talked with the manager; same story and so on and so on and so on.
I have diarrhea so bad, this is not going away....wish we had never bought this place.
I am so crying, and there’s no way out.....head hurts heart aches and I'm just plain beaten....We are talking to people on phone, but no one is saying we have rights.
The guy that told me I can't pick and choose a way to our home, also said the REALTOR should have had all this info...It just goes on and on and on...
I'm crying again, and I'm going to close....this is awful...just awful...”

In one way or another we have all experienced this kind gut wrenching fear. My reply seemed universally applicable so I include it here for you.

It's horrible feeling beaten.

The biggest thing to do now is to NOT do anything. It is very hard to give up the feeling of being victimized.

I know you want to do this all logically, and there truly are more avenues, but I recommend letting them go right now.

You are dealing with an irrational person.

Your goal here is to keep the standard access. Keep that in mind. Focus on seeing good access restored to normal. Focus. Visualize. Focus. The more you give free rein to negative thinking the more it increases. I know this is hard but you will get through it.

Every possible resolution already exists in your energetic field. Pick the one you truly want to have and give it all your energy, focus and visualization. Bring it out into the light and play with it, feeling, seeing, smelling and visualizing it. Breathe life into it. Make it as real as you can.

There is always a ‘way out’ of every situation. It may not be the one you thought of or wished for; it might even be better. The only way we can ever be disappointed is when we hold on to needing our own outcome. Surrender, let go, give it up to a higher power to create the best solution and then align with knowing in some way it really is the best.

August will prove to be one of the most challenging months... and you will live through it. Resistance will create more resistance, as you have seen with the lie about flipping the bird... just one more on top of his irrational behavior. Use the back way for now. It works for now. That is all you need to focus on. Stay focused on this now... this very minute. You are safe. You do have an alternative way to reach your home. You are all right NOW.

You are not alone. Right now there are boundary and border disputes going on all over; neighbor to neighbor, country to country. Your personal situation is a reflection of the irrationality of conflict, no matter how big or small the scale. Do not make this a war. It WILL be resolved but probably not until after the unsettling energies of this August.

Continue to do Ho’oponopono, pray and find anything to be loving about: your beautiful yard, you pets, your relationship, and your health... find anything to appreciate... it is the first law of shifting your perspective. Allow yourself: body, mind and spirit to breathe and you will find you have shifted just a tiny bit. Continue to pray, do Ho’oponopono and find things to appreciate. You will shift just a little bit more. Make that your focus: small steps. It will pay great dividends.

I have used these methods in dire circumstances. It's hard for you to just jump in here and believe it, but I know you believe in prayer and its power. Its purpose is to give you focus on love and gratitude... don't simply recite the problem. Use prayer to find peace and love. This is done by keeping a tight rein on your thoughts. Do not go where angels fear to tread! In other words, do not slush about, repeating the situation, dwelling on it, drowning in the problem. These things only give it energy, life and power. Pay attention to your thoughts. This is not denial; this is retraining your mind.

You are stronger than you realize. You have a fertile and powerful mind. Use it to create, allow, forgive, love, and peace. Be in gratitude. Let go of the war.
Miracles happen when you choose to give focus to these positives instead of focusing on negatives. They are still there, but you are refusing to empower and enlarge them. Use that powerful mind as God intended you to.

Now is always the time to do this.

Remember that the depth to which this is affecting you is the depth of love you are capable of. Tear off the labels of anger, hatred, and frustration. Recognize the raw power source that it is. Redirect it into healing, love, allowance, forgiveness and most of all into visualizing an amazing resolution.

You do not know how this will turn out... why wallow in thoughts of it's being bad. For all you know, the city could come in and build you a road! The universe and all the angels can figure this out and make an outcome much, much more amazing than you can even think of. Surrender it to them. You'll be in good hands.

Our problems really are universal. They say there are only seven plots in all the stories of the world. So I hope you can use this to put a happy ending on your story lines. We always have the choice of how we interpret and respond to every situation. Each of your choices creates of your reality. May you choose joy and love each time.

Cry For Happy

2010-07-26T07:58:00.000-07:00

I just watched my umpteenth movie that makes me cry, but I figured out a little secret.

When you get to those amazing parts of movies and books that make you tear up or sob you have fallen in love with life. I am powerful in these moments; I feel it. So I seek them out now. I used to hide from any sentimental, tear jerker movies or books. I actually read them alone in the bath tub or anywhere else I would not be vulnerable to others’ judgments. Now I recognize their power and I don’t have to hide from it any longer. I can tap into it and use it to create joy.

When I am in those peak moments of feeling love, I seek out anything not loving in my world, personal or global and visualize it in the center of all that love. I surround it with love like a nurturing womb and the non-loving stuff simply disappears. I was doing this many times daily with the oil spill. That’s the big stuff. But I do it with a neighbor that has noisy pets or loud music. I do it with a pain in my ankle. I do it with anything my subconscious is drawn to.

It works like magic. Love conquers fear. We’ve all heard that phrase, but how does it actually work? Years ago I had a terrible scare that a loved one was going to be wrongly arrested. I used every technique I knew to overcome my fear. I read uplifting books; I meditated and I listened to spiritual music. It worked each time, but the fear returned. I spent an entire day moving from the low vibration of fear to higher vibrations but nothing lasted. Then I watched a late night movie. In the final scene the woman gives birth, the child is laid on her breast and she dies. Well, I lost it. Tears all over the place, the sobbing kind. I knew it was love and I put that giant fear into the middle of all that love. It simply dissolved. It was gone and I knew it was gone permanently. I knew the situation was totally done and we’d never be contacted with any other notice of outcome. It was a deep and abiding knowing.

So now I have discovered romance novels. I’d never read them until a month ago, but here I am, reading at least two a day, using the power that wells up. There are so many people reading these love stories and watching loving movies and having loving experiences of their own. Combined, we are very, very powerful. I tap into all those lights experiencing love and join with them directing my intention for this powerful, loving energy to heal the planet or take care of a conflict, personal, neighborhood or global.

So next time you Cry for Happy, tie into all those others who are feeling love and direct your intention to a healing of some kind. We are so powerful, so much more than we realize.

Go ahead. Cry for Happy.

Gulf Oil Response

2010-06-20T15:00:00.000-07:00

Just as Mother Earth renews herself, we too are changing, renewing ourselves. Much that was repressed and forgotten, deeply buried within us is bubbling up. The oil from the depths that has the power to change a great deal is a metaphor for the great shifts within the human life form. We are changing to light beings that can handle 12 times more light than our original DNA could. To do this light will inevitably shine on our darkest aspects. Planetary hate, greed and abuse of people and power will come to the light, as we see daily happening. The oil spill, welling up from below, is its metaphor.

All is not lost. In fact, newness surrounds us; comes from deep within us.

Liken this to Mt St Helen's eruption. Scientists could 'prove' its devestation woul take aeons to recover. It took less than 2 yrs to begin; and 10 yrs it was astounding. Twenty five yrs later, we must be reminded it ever happened. Lives were lost, tho very few, but important to each one. The old man on the mountain, sitting in his lodge, represents the old way of hanging on no matter what the level of change being offered. He was resistance incarnate.

In this event too, there will be loss of life and other things of great value. The earth is birthing her own change….as are we.

You have a choice here to add to the sum of love on this planet or of fear. Love is simply letting go of fear. You cannot fear and love at the same time. Choose. We know our focus is an aspect of creation; so simply shift focus to what is loving. Know that our Mother Earth will heal. The animal life will recover. Things will change. Shift your focus to love. Love what is. Love what will be. Love the changes. Fear and judgment stop the flow and refuse to see any possibilities for positive outcome. We do not have to know what that outcome is. We have only to remain in loving trust that there is a greater story and that the larger picture is positive, for it is. Trust the process.

You have a choice before you. You can sit in the gut wrenching pain of fear; or you can take conscious control of your mind and find something to love and focus on that. Know that the Mother is having contractions prior to the birth. We are with her. As midwives to this miracle, we are attending the coming change. Nothing like it has ever happened in the universes. Humans are waking up, taking their own consciousness in hand and directing it into creation of the next step. Choose well. You are the co-creator of the next moment in this event.

Bless this birthing. Ho'oponopono prayer is easy and amazing.

Creator,
Please remove whatever it is within me that has created this experience.
I am truly sorry.
I ask forgiveness.
I thank you.
I love you.

Always you have choice in your reaction.
You are powerful, not powerless.
Your addition of love to this planet is powerful.

Believe it or not, this experience is so much better than what would have been happening had consciousness not gotten to this point!
Still it is difficult to watch death and dying. Still it is only the illusion of the temporary physicality of us. We are so much more.
All life is sentient, some more than others.
Our job is to love.
The heart expands to take all comers.
Let your heart open...

The answers to the problem are not to be found at the level of the problem. You can connect with the problem from the level of your open heart; Love. It heals.

It is your powerful choice.
Hold steady in your truth.
Know your love heals.

Light

2010-04-30T15:46:00.000-07:00

Light falls without preference or prejudice.
Light gives definition, form, clarity.
Light creates shadow in the very same moment it appears.
Light uplifts, renews, engenders hope and joy.
Light relieves the oppressiveness of darkness.
Light exposes and darkness withdraws.

Light and Love
Replace all the ideas above with the thought of Love. Love does the same things, even more so, for Love comes from within, coupled with feeling. So too as we embrace more and more light, our bodies raise their vibrations and our DNA changes to enable us to hold even more light. The light that we are embodying is the reflection of Love; both divine and human, for there is no difference.

Two Rooms
Think of two rooms separated by a single door. Imagine one room filled with Light and the other room completely dark. When the door between is opened, which room is affected? Light shines into the dark. Darkness does not move into the light! When light even a little light shines, it dispels darkness.

The Edge
We stand at the edge of the shift where shadow and light meet. It is always darkest at this border because the contrast is exaggerated making visibility beyond the perimeter appear more obscured. This false dark is merely contrast; for when the dark gets darker, the light gets lighter. Those of us standing at the edge may find it difficult to see our compatriots, brothers and sisters who seem to also stand alone. But we are there and in great numbers. Consciousness has encouraged us to arrive at these moments of immense change. We participate simply by our presence. We need do nothing. Simply acknowledge All is in Divine alignment and perfect as it is.

Triality
We are no longer in the realm of simple duality: good and bad, light and dark. We have chosen to be here now, at this time of the great shift in consciousness, to witness and partake in it. It is driven by Love, Light and Joy, a potent triality. There are many shades of grey, variations of judgment and other options to perceive. Our choices are unlimited.

Conspiracy
There are many dark machinations occurring now that would be easy to focus on. We hear of this group and that shady situation from well intentioned Lightworkers seeking to create awareness and educate us. Such discussions often excite fear within us. Once activated, this fear only adds to the sum total of fear in the universe. Fear is only one choice. Simply be informed and refrain from fear by choosing to focus on forgiveness or love or joy or something happy.

Working With Darkness
As we acknowledge darkness in all its forms: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual; our job is to embrace that darkness into wholeness, without resistance. Should we chose to resist, war against, exclude or remain separate, we have added to the strength of that darkness. Darkness is all about separation, lack, resistance, non-forgiveness, fear and all that is non-loving. We are in the process of creating our realities through consciousness.

It is of great importance how you choose your focus, for the time of instant manifestation draws near. Your choice to focus on Light, though you know not the exact outcome of these times, feeds myriad pinpoints of Light in the Universe, creating more and more balance and movement towards wholeness. Your constant choices to re-center yourself in the Light are very important in this time of shift.

The Work
Acknowledge the existence of fear based things but embrace them into wholeness. This is the real job of Lightworkers. Nothing less than transmutation off all that appears to be in shadow is The Work. It is done by allowing and loving the existence of shadow workers; surrounding them with Light and Love. Resistance and hatred are not of the Light, they are merely lacking Love. It is within your power to give them love. Stop resistance; for what you resist persists. Do not condone or participate; simply allow and Love. All prayer raises the vibrations surrounding a situation. Ho’oponopono, a Huna teaching, has extraordinary and immediate results. See http://www.thereisaway.org/Ho. Prayer gives an opportunity for those participating to accept higher vibrations surrounding them when they choose to. This is how miracles occur.

The Love Foundation
I honor the founders of The Love Foundation and Global Love Day, which is celebrated annually May 1 (or simply choose a day/days and make it yours) and whose theme this year is “Love Begins With Me.” With gratitude for Harold’s permission to share with you the beautifully expressed message:
We recognize this day as a symbolic expression that we can choose to love each and every day as we gather together and unite as a collective humanity through unconditional love.

We are one humanity on this planet.
All life is interconnected and interdependent.
All share in the Universal bond of love.
Love begins with self acceptance and forgiveness.
With respect and compassion we embrace diversity.
Together we make a difference through love.

http://www.thelovefoundation.com/

In Summary
So what do we do? Say Yes to it all. End resistance. Love simply and unconditionally.
P.S. If you missed May 1st, simply choose another day to create the experience. We cannot have too many of them!

To Tell or Not To Tell

2010-04-02T10:04:00.000-07:00

As a psychic, I am often asked what I do with information I get about the potential for trouble for someone else. Do I have to inform the person they may be facing a difficulty shortly?
I do not, for several reasons.

Sacred Individuality
To understand this seeming lack of caring, please understand I believe each of us is a master. This is sacred and inviolable; a prime directive. Each of us is the creator of our own individual realities. If someone is on a path of self destruction, that is their right. And it is only a potential. Everything can change. No one knows better how to live a life than the individual soul. You would not want someone, even well intentioned, to interfere with your life choices. We love our parents but at some point we want them to stop giving us advice. We want to blaze our own trail. Our individuality is sacred, guided by our own soul’s plan as we created it while still in spirit form. A person may have to hit bottom before awakening. If we keep giving them parachutes, they may not reach their turning point.

Disempowerment
To interfere with another’s life is to disempower them. It says “You are living wrong and I know how to run your life better than you do.” I may see important things about someone. So do you. But unless and until they ask you for help, clarification or input, they are not ready to hear it. Good intentions often translate as rescue. And rescuers need victims. They need them to validate their identity as rescuers. Although it makes the rescuer feel good, it reinforces victim mentality in others. It is not your responsibility or your right to change others.

The gift
I know you are thinking what about those who can’t help themselves. There is a healthy and an unhealthy way to assist. Mother Theresa’s gift was to see others as whole, not as victims. In placing herself in the heart of such neediness, she was a light for those in the dark. Light does not judge. It doesn’t intend to save others. Light does not inflict. It is simply available, impartial, and present. Let this be our guide.

Seeing Mastery in Others
To see even those lying in the gutter face down as magnificent masters is to empower them. Consciousness is a living thing, communicated even without action. They know how you feel about them. Helping someone who stumbles is a natural act born of the understanding we are all One and s/he who stumbles is in truth You. But to prolong the queries of “are you alright now” while sending unspoken communication of “you poor thing” is disempowering. Authentic help is love and needs no reward or acknowledgement. It is impartial, available and present.

Motivation
Pay attention to your motivations as you see others. For example, take the street beggar. Do you avoid them with a “get a job” thinking? Do you see a victim? Do you give them money fearing it could be you or resentfully, haughtily, impersonally? Can you look them in the eye as an equal and be loving with composure and calmness? Your motivations are as important as their circumstances. Their beingness is a gift to you to for self awareness. Through their simple act of being in their situation, they have volunteered, on a higher level, to be a nudge to your consciousness to look at the Oneness of all things in a compassionate and even handed way. These angels of the streets have chosen to be a gift to you. When you come across such an angel, go within to determine your own impulses to give or not give.

Judgment
However you act, there is no judgment but what you place on yourself. No one else knows your internal thinking and feeling process. Great compassion may simply beam love to them, or connect with a word, a touch. Kindness can mean more than money. If that street angel is playing the role of a victim, that is their concern. You do not have to reinforce it by responding as a rescuer. Be even. Be aware. Be conscious. It is such a little thing, but huge in impact.

Crossroads
I have always figured that if God/Goddess does not swoop in to rescue someone, neither should I. Acknowledging each as creator seems to honor the Creator in each of us. If you really want to know something you will ask. First, go within and ask yourself. If you do not receive clarity, there are other choices. Let go of the need to know. Learn how to find clarity. Ask someone. When we are at a crossroads, it is good to open windows and get a fresh perspective.

Compassion
Wordlessly compassion speaks “I feel your pain. I honor your journey. I see you as Creator, a Master. Blessings on your path.” Our job is to love. Love people as they already are, not as they could be, should be or might be. Love yourself first. Fill your own cup of self, a drop at a time until you overflow. Such freely expressed love blesses everyone and everything.

Refrain and Validate
It is a hard thing to refrain from giving advice when not asked. We do it all the time in conversations with friends. Listen to yourself. When a friend tells you of their pain, be compassionate, loving, validating. Acknowledge their feelings. Save your advice for only when you are asked. I often compare this to a child throwing up. You pet their head, make loving comments, touch their back, validate, coo, love. You do not start giving advice. They are in the process of disgorging something painful. Allow their process. Hold your well intentioned advice until they ask for it. It’s tricky, but you will both be better (more empowered) for the experience.

Divine Timing
If someone is facing a potential crisis, I believe their consciousness aligns with Divine Timing and they will either avoid the experience or embrace it depending on their highest and best path. It would be presumptuous of me to interfere with their creation.

In summary, open yourself to knowing and feeling. Seek to understand your own motivations. See others as perfect creators no matter what their situation. See yourself that way too. You don’t have to share what you know or be validated for it. In your own life ask for input when you are ready. Allow others to do the same. To tell or not to tell; it’s up to you.

Healing Little Wars

2010-03-01T09:43:00.000-08:00

Lately I have noticed so many little eruptions of ‘war’ between people. I see flare ups with people defending a position, lines drawn in the sand. I was caught up in a couple of my own. Each triggered an incendiary reaction in me: fireworks anger!

The Rude Response
The first example was an unloving and unsolicited rude comment. It reminded me of the abuser saying “I’m only hitting you because I love you.” I immediately removed the person from my contacts, energetically killing them. I was at war. Then I wrote my scathing response and sent it to someone else, a good friend who would let me ‘throw up’ on her and still laugh and allow my anger.

What I Needed
All the while I knew I needed to get back to Love. I had to somehow convert these feeling of anger, resentment and betrayal to love. I know all the tricks but I was caught up in the feelings… stuck and reveling in them. I was sick. I needed help.

The Story Line
When you tell an ugly story more than three times, that story owns you. I did not want to let it become like a bad cold and take root in me. I needed to get rid of this sniffle right away. So first, I threw up by writing my unloving response and dumping all my anger in a healthy way. I got it out of my system. I didn’t stuff it and let it fester. And I sent it… but to a friend. I called my true blue friend the next day. Instead of “Hello” she said “Send the letter to that bastard! He deserves it!” You gotta love such unconditionally supportive friends. We laughed big time.

Already Cured
You see, by then I was cured! And within twenty four hours! It was fascinating to watch myself as to whom I selected to tell this outrage. I was afraid there was some truth in it and I wanted only support. Aren’t we sneaky? I had called another friend in England with my story. My wonderful Brit friend never thinks she knows enough or counsels well, but she has taught me so much through just being her authentic emotional self. She quoted an old teacher “I love you unconditionally, but I may not always trust you.” Well, that did it. I realized that was my how to regain a loving state.

Loving Doesn’t Mean Being Stupid
I could be totally loving but aware that I was unable to trust this person. I didn’t have to lie in the middle of the road and get run over by any more rude comments. It didn’t even matter if the comments were true. This was how to love again. I could breathe again. It was all about my reactions. It was about what I chose that told more about me to myself than anything else would have. I was proud of me. That ugly, icky feeling was gone.

The Bank Error
In the second situation, my bank charged me incorrectly. No one there would take responsibility. I dug in and began my calling campaign to resolve it. I was at war. Bad me. I needed help fast. I had to shift back to love. But how? Ok, I know the secrets, the ways and the methods. This time, after my third upsetting phone call, I did Ho’oponopono on the situation and let go. I let it do its magic.

Ho’oponopono
When I say I did Ho’oponopono, I mean I simply said the little prayer that reminds us we are all One and whatever is happening is because it is an aspect of us that we have chosen to be reminded about and to heal now. It goes like this.
“Creator (that’s YOU, since all is One and nothing is outside of the greater You.)
Please remove whatever it is within me that has created this situation.
I am truly sorry.
I ask forgiveness.
I thank you. (You again)
I love you.” (You again)

Miracles
Shortly, I received a phone call from the bank manager totally resolving the situation. I have seen amazing things with Ho’oponopono. It is applied to the situation, not the person. It is about Oneness and healing the self, which once healed is reflected in all those around you.

My sister managed apartments. One resident became verbally abusive about a parking situation. She immediately did Ho’oponopono on the situation. She was smart enough not to even bother with getting angry. Within an hour the man came in apologizing profusely.

War
War begins with you. The big wars in our world can be alleviated little by little because you heal a situation with your neighbor, business associate or friend. Start small. It’s really huge work you will be doing. Healing your self, healing the planet, it’s all the same.

You are the key.

Vacationing

2010-02-03T15:32:00.000-08:00

It occurs to me while on holiday that many people never really get a vacation. They have an ill loved one than needs constant care; they don’t have enough money; they are afraid of leaving home or a hundred other reasons.

In a paradise setting I see extensive and filthy makeshift communities of homeless people. Tents and tarpaulins litter the beachside park. My heart goes out to them in compassion for their choices and willingness to accept such limitation; but I do not see them as victims.

Saying Yes
Our job as enlightened beings is to say yes to it all. We often feel sorry for homeless people or minimum wage workers. Compassion is one thing. It is lovely, aligning and conscious of our at-one-ment with others. Feeling sorry for others is another thing. When we feel sorry for people we have simply forgotten they are creators, not victims. We have judged their circumstances as awful.

Freedom
Oftentimes we do not even know the real story behind their situations. For some, such ‘housing’ is a step up from something. It may represent freedom from abuse, bills, burdens, family, debt or even isolation.

Just One Choice
I’m not being Pollyanna here, but we need to see these makeshift communities as just one choice in our reality. In the midst of such wealth and abundance they have made hundreds of thousands of small decisions that resulted in their reality being what it is. And so have we. We are, for the most part, comfortable in the one we have chosen. Yet we are living in a reality that is would be deemed substandard from a $5,000.00 per night hotel room.

Perspective
If a wealthier person felt sorry for you in how you live your everyday life, you’d be insulted, and rightfully so. Such condescending attitudes make many presumptions about what pleases you, your comfort zone and your perceptions. It says everything you think and all you have become are wrong. How pompous and arrogant is such an attitude! The same is true when you feel smug and superior looking down on the tent dwellers.

All is One; All is Now
If we but remember we are all one and all is happening now, we will understand things differently. Everyone else: filthy, wealthy, grieving, mentally ill or deliriously happy is an aspect of you. They are offering you an opportunity to see a facet of yourself in a different mirror, through different eyes. Embrace that awareness of the choices you could have made in this lifetime… that some part of you did make since we are all One; and be grateful. Be grateful that you have decided to emphasize a different facet of your beingness this time around that suits your comfort zone..

Comparison
Because we live in a world of duality everything is looked at in comparison to something else. We do this to make informed choices. However, if we make comparisons to feed ego, to feel superior to someone else or to create separation, we have failed in our job as enlightened beings. Judgment separates. Acknowledging facets of the crystals we are unites us in a common bond of oneness. Preferences are not steps up a ladder; just choices based on myriad experiences that brought us to the now moment. Live in that now moment, make informed choices and remember the seed of each of us is in each other.

A Breath of Fresh Air 2010

2010-01-07T18:44:00.000-08:00

This is the year of Transparency. What was hidden will be revealed. Personal and global revelations will surprise, shock and delight us. This is the time of creating our very next step only a moment before it happens. We must stay conscious and open.

A dear friend’s home recently burned down. She exclaimed “I’m free! I can start over!!!” Now THAT’s attitude! Her next step will surely provide the perfect home.

Recently I had a conversation about a mutual friend. Just by talking about things, I could see a custody battle and lawsuit coming up, an increase in income and many other surprises. Later it all turned out to be true and our mutual friend now wishes he’d had a conversation with me too. Why? Because he wished he’d been prepared for what was coming.

The most personal information comes when you and I have just such a conversation. Mental pictures freely download into my consciousness with insights into the twists and turns of events to come. Nuances are shown to me in visions and metaphoric images.

Our own minds play hide and seek with information we are uneasy about. Not that it will be bad, we’re just fearful so we hide from knowing.

With me, you’ll get a reading from someone who is not afraid to look and who receives insights that help get you unstuck and prepared.

It’s like opening a window for fresh air. This new year and these amazing times of change are exciting.

Schedule your breath of fresh air and we’ll have a cup of tea too. We can talk over the phone or in my office. Fresh air is very healing.

I look forward to our heart to heart conversation with insights.

Choosing Joy in the Midst of Crisis

2009-12-28T16:39:00.000-08:00

Choosing Joy in the Midst of Crisis

A Different Way
No matter what happens, there is a different way to see things. You can broaden your perspectives. If you first understand how you create your own reality, you will be much more powerful in creating the experiences you prefer. No one "does it to you"….. you are creating "it" by what you choose to focus on, mentally and emotionally. In truth, everything is done for you as a reflection of your personal growth. You can tell what's happening within you, your emotional thermometer, by what's happening in your world.

How You Create Your Reality
Thought and feelings combined make your world of experience. What you focus on and what you feel are a powerful alchemical mix that is out-pictured as your reality. Emotions deep in your subconscious are the operating system of your life. Your thoughts and emotions give form to all that occurs in your world.

Triggers
Everything is a trigger to your potential emotions. Your interpretation of those triggers, based on your emotional operating system, determine your perspective. If you feel injured, you are. If you don’t feel injured, you aren’t. If you love a flower, it triggers a feeling of beauty and appreciation. If you determine that same flower to be a weed, other emotions are triggered. Same triggers, different interpretations.

Acknowledgement
Let me acknowledge those reading this who have had crises in their lives: rape, wrongful imprisonment, abandonment, abuse, floods, famine, earthquake, fire, disastrous health or lost a loved one, be it a mate, a sibling or a child.

My crisis was merely financial. It gives you a perspective, doesn't it?

Crisis Defined
When we are children, great drama is a skinned knee, being picked last for the team or not making the team at all. As we grow up, our dramas become larger and larger, yet within us is still the small child who skinned a knee. Crisis isn't defined by the externally applied test of severity, but by the internal gauge of our own emotions.

Losing the football game because you fumbled the ball on the tie breaking last three seconds of the game may be equally as devastating as if you had made a bad business decision that resulted in losing your job. We categorize levels of trauma; but to the emotional self, it's all pretty much the same: a massive blow to self worth, lovability, connectedness, abundance or control.

My Story
I had been a real estate investor. The Feds changed the law so I was unable to get loans and I needed many. Then I heard "In any moment we can choose joy. It is always a choice." I was being served with hundreds of lawsuits. I chose to be happy as the postman delivered a container full of more foreclosure notices. Instead of my embarrassment, I focused on him as he began telling me of his anniversary surprise for his wife. He was so happy I became happy. I was amazed. Choosing joy worked, for real.

How It All Shifted
When I stopped asking "Why me?" and began asking "Why did I create all this?" I began to heal. This led me to many discoveries about how to choose and what choices were available. I read hundreds of books, studied thousands of hours and sought out extraordinary masters, only to be redirected to myself as the source of all that was occurring in my life. I learned how I was that source, how I was creating what was in my world and finally how and why I had collapsed my financial world so completely. These answers didn't come all at once. It was the journey that made the difference. All the reading and all the teachers didn't give me answers so much as they gave me pointers so I could rediscover those answers for myself.

Ten Pointers: The Secrets I Learned to Choosing Joy
1. MAKE A JOY LIST. This gives you scheduled time to focus on joy. This is so incredibly simple that most of you reading this will think it’s too silly to do. But it is one of those life-changing things that is incredibly effective.
2. BEGIN APPRECIATING ANYTHING. This little thread will become a lifeline to joy. When you decide you’ve had enough of an undesirable feeling, you can begin to shift immediately by changing your focus to appreciating anything. Appreciate one thing, anything, then more things, until you all you feel is the vibration of appreciation.
3. LOVE A THING ‘TO DEATH’. When you are hurting and finally decide you’ve had enough you can love the pain to death. Once you make the determination to be done with the pain you can use any method possible to shift your awareness into one of love. It may be music, poetry, spiritual books, walking in nature meditation, or journaling. By shifting your focus, you allow yourself to move into an altered state, altered from the downward spiral you were in. You literally step into a clear space in which you choose your next feeling.
4. GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU NEED. When you’re hurting and in pain find someone else to whom you can give what you need. When we give away what we need, physically or emotionally, we have recognized at a deep internal level that we already have it within ourselves, or we wouldn’t be able to give it away. Eg. Give away loneliness by sitting with a stranger in a park or coffee shop.
5. SHIFT YOUR FOCUS. Whatever you focus on you get more of. This is the Law of Attraction. Attract what you’d prefer. Focus on joy, love, health or abundance!
6. CREATE A WELLNESS PLAN. Plan for your health on all four levels of your being: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual.
7. CREATE A PERFECT DAY. Choose a day that becomes Christmas like in its expectation of joy and perfection. My day is April 21st.. every year!
8. REMOVE THE LABEL. Whatever you call the energy: anger, guilt, fear or something else, tear off the label you have given it. Beneath it is pure raw energy. Use it to feel good, heal yourself or get energized.
9. BECOME A SCREEN TO EMOTION. Allow them to pass through you. When you feel a wave of emotion coming toward you, choose not to clamp down and hold your breath but become pliant, like a tree in the wind. Open to the experience and imagine your whole self becoming like a screen door. Let the emotions sweep through you without attaching to them and without getting stuck in them.
10. CHOOSE JOY. It is always available as an option. Choose it by first remembering times of joy in your life. Then become it. Feel it. Be it. Exult in the feeling.

These secrets are expanded in greater detail in my book “Choosing Joy in the Midst of Crisis” available through my website.

Doing Nothing

2009-12-13T12:44:00.000-08:00

It’s frosty. It’s cold and I’m lazy. But I’m really happy. Doing nothing suits me perfectly!

Lack of Energy
I know many of you are feeling the lack of energy too. It’s that time of year when plants and trees stop to take a break. They have ceased their growing for the season and have retreated into a long nap. Oh yes, there is life still going on, but at a much reduced rate. So copy nature. It’s down time! You can still be happy without having to achieve anything.

It’s OK to relax
Don’t be hard on yourself for just wanting to relax a bit. It’s ok. You don’t have to be the achiever of the year, but I bet you are to someone. We all need a break, but we forget to give ourselves time off. If you have children, what kind of an example is that for them?

Make Every Moment Count
Relax into whatever you are doing. If it’s the dishes, be focused on just doing dishes. If you’re reading, be focused on reading. Be present; then you are the present for your family this year. The most authentic and fascinating people I have ever met are those who are totally present when they speak with me. It is the gift of their attention bestowed on me. Give that gift to others. It’s free and is always the right size; just what they wanted.

Happier not Busier
Over achievers don’t necessarily have happier lives, just busier. On your deathbed you’re not going to wish you’d worked harder, but that you’d taken more trips or spent more time with loved ones.

If You Had Your Life to Live Over
What would you do? So, do it, because this isn’t a rehearsal. This is your creation.

Erma Bombeck
Humorist and columnist, Erma Bombeck, said it best in her poem after a diagnosis with terminal cancer.
If I Had My Life To Live Over
by Erma Bombeck
If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

There would have been more "I love you's".. More "I'm sorrys" ...

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it ... live it...and never give it back.

Empaths and Feeling

2009-12-13T12:29:00.000-08:00

Empathy
Empathy is being able to feel feelings: your own and what others are feeling. Sometimes this is overwhelming and we get lost in someone else's stuff. Here's an idea.

What to Ask
Ask yourself "Is what I'm feeling coming from inside me or outside me?"
This will let you know if it's your stuff or someone else's. If it's not yours, dump it...let it go. You don't have to process it and it doesn't help anyone for you to do their stuff anyway.

Names ending in 'A'
If your first name (that you're called by regularly) ends in an 'a', then you are an empath. It means you wear your heart on your sleeve, can be easily hurt or overwhelmed and you feel other people's feelings.

Teach Kids to Ask
Children feel easily. When they are overwhelmed by feelings, many times from others, they tend to become shy and hide from groups. They have no tool to handle all that overload. So teach them to ask themselves if what they're feeling is coming from inside or outside of them.

Awareness
Just by being aware that what you're feeling isn't yours is sufficient to break the emotional journey it puts you on. You can just say "Oh, that's not my stuff." and let it go. It really is that easy. The trick is to remember to ask yourself the question. Tell others about this and have them remind you to ask yourself.

My Sister
My sister is very empathic. Of course her first name ends in an 'a'. She was forever being in a mood that was not hers.. Now she asks herself the question all the time and things are much easier for her..

It couldn't be more simple. Try it.

Welsh Christmas Song

2009-11-28T15:25:00.001-08:00

This is one of my favorites! Just found it on the internet. I've been looking for this a long time.. heard it years ago. Sung by a Welsh choir.

Stop The Cavalry by The Cory Band With The Gwalia Singers. Nov 29, 2006

Click on this post's title above (Welsh Christmas Song) to listen.. and enjoy.

Here's the lyrics by Jona Lewie

"Stop the Cavalry"

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to win from the enemy
Oh, I say it's tough, I have had enough
Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight, almost every night
Down throughout these centuries
That is when I say, oh yes, yet again
Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home
In the nuclear fall-out zone
Wish, I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love

Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum

Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum

Wish, I was at home for Christmas

Bang, that's another bomb on another town
While the Czar and Jim have tea
If I get home, live to tell the tale
I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected I'll stop
I will stop the cavalry

Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum

Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum

Wish, I was at home for Christmas

Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
She's been waiting two years long

Wish, I was at home for Christmas
