imagesDearly Beloved,

The time is upon us.

I feel it. I bet you do, too.

For the first time ever, we humans are taking our bodies with us to a higher dimension.

You might feel strange, anxious, crazy. Perhaps you’re experiencing heart palpitations, or other physical symptoms that your doctor can’t help you with.

The process is already occurring, we are going, it’s happening now and your body is adjusting.

Not everyone will be with us- some will be left with the old Earth, left to work out karma. They’ll join us, someday.

Those in fear will stay. Those who aren’t aware, or don’t believe, won’t come.

Are you coming with us?

Wake up, shine your light, meditate and prepare yourself.

The way you will know that it is happening, that we are evolving, awakening, transcending, is that you will see things with fresh eyes.

You will know the truth under the lies.

You will see what’s real and value peace, collaboration, connection, over competition.

You will see where the systems are failing, you will no longer believe the hype designed to increase fear.

You will turn to your brothers & sisters around you.

You share your love & resources more openly.

You receive that which is rightfully yours with more grace.

You have mastered a level of self-care & love that was once unknown to you.

You look for solutions over dwelling on problems.

You arise in the morning knowing that you are blessed to live this day, you have a mission, there is work to be done, and as long as you are here, there is hope.

You let go of things you don’t love, and pursue your creativity, passions, purpose.

You know that there is great potential for the power of our creative hearts joining together.

You know, that in the end, love wins.

You’ll notice, slowly, that things are better.

Your money fears are easing as you trust in the divine creator.

Your relationships are improving.

Your desires are manifesting.

Synchronicity abounds.

I notice that, do you?

I feel happy. Lighter. Free.

I feel excited.

My relationships are deepening, strengthening.

My love life is rich and beautiful and supportive and succulent.

My work is flowing in like rain, new opportunities that feel like dreams coming true are arriving upon my door, with ease & grace.

I am eating well. Feeding my body.

I am walking, doing yoga, moving, dancing.

I am celebrating in community, with ritual & rites.

My creativity is soaring to new heights.

How good can we have it?

How easily can we manifest heaven here on Earth?

I wish blessing of ease & grace to you, and if you are struggling in these time, please schedule a session with me (click here) or check out my free tools to move your energy and revitalize your space. Click here.

The power is within you.

Here’s what to do:

4. Meditate.

5. Write.

6. Move your body, exercise.

7. Eat lighter- eat vegetables, fruits, drink plenty water, sleep and rest.

8. Be vigilant with your mind. Think better feeling thoughts.

9. Only surround yourself with uplifting, positive people who fan your flames.

10. Trust yourself. Follow your instincts. Let it flow, let it go.

This is Wilde!

400595_528578337198895_900792522_n

This last weekend, I went North, on an old, dirt road, I headed out of Boulder, until I reached the green, rolling pastures of horse farms and open space.

I pulled my car in to the Wilde Tribe, Red Tent gathering space, and made my way under the warm sun to the temple for women.

IMG_5579

I entered, wrapped in my red cloth, wearing my red shirt, thankful to find a resting space in the bounty of the creative, inspiring and rich women in my life. Thankful to have a reprieve from my busy world and to sink into the ritual so desired by my feminine Goddess within.

I found my spot on my yoga mat and I settled in.

I bowed to the altar, Red. To Creator, to the divine Mother and Father.

IMG_5587

Then, we did 45 minutes of Yin Yoga. My nervous system drank up the slow movement.

After we were connected within and feeling warm, we danced! I got down harder than I have in a long time! I shook, stomped, jumped, rolled, ran, twirled until I cried.

Tears erupted forth as I felt gratitude for my life, the path I’ve walked, the teachers I’ve had and how far I’ve come.

IMG_5585

I was inspired as our leader called us out, called us forth, invited our darkest parts to show up. She pleaded with us to show ourselves.

She asked us to yell out what we needed, encouraged us to have our voices be heard.

I felt myself tremble as I tried to find my inner truth, the words that wished to spill forth.

My voice cracked. My tears rolled.

“I need help!” a woman near me cried. Then, we all cried out, “I need help!”

Hallelujah!

In that moment, I knew I was not alone. It felt so good to say it out loud, in community, and realize I am not the only one who feels that way.

These wants are not mine alone, but our deep desires. We all want to be supported by the bounty of community- unity- each other. We all need help.

IMG_5582
We need each other so much. I need you.

I need your deep, down, muddy dark.

I need your trembling voice.

I need your cracking cries.

I don’t need you to be perfect, holy, light, and beautiful.

I invite you to be messy, humbled, piled on the floor in a heaping mess of sobbing tears ripping at the earth to uncover your truth.

I want your real. I want your REVEAL. I’m tired of playing so cool.

We need to share our shadows. Face our dark. Show up fully. Ask for what we want. Dance it, move it, open it, claim it.

I share all this with you today because inside of that sacred tent, inside of the space I gave to myself in the name of nurturing and rejuvenation, I came face to face with the call of my soul, the passion in my heart, the delight of my mind, again & again.

I want to give. I want to serve. Use me! That’s my prayer.

As I connected with my tribe that day, and then waded in the waters of the creek and felt the mud and cool grass under my feet and gazed at the sky and admired the horses, I was reminded that if we have food and water, then we have a responsibility to care for the waters and food on this planet.

945596_10151362711110957_30625562_n

We can start, as Indigo Bacal, the leader of the day suggested, with the waters in our bodies. Our blood. Our emotions.

We can be responsible for who we are, why we came here, what we have to offer.

We can take the time to truly nurture ourselves and then step up in our communities to cry out that warrior call of truth.

I beg you: say what you want. Ask for what you need. Share your voice.

We each are here on purpose and the time is now. It is up to us to come alive and say what we see and create something new, together.

Are you with me? What else is possible? How good can we have it?!

What are you here for? What do you see that you wish to give voice to? How can you serve?

Please awaken with me, sing out-loud! Show yourself!

I’d like to support you in your life, in your transitions, from winter to spring, or in any transition in your life.

Remember I am here, with passionate gifts to share and you can always book a session with me.

If you want help & you’re ready for support, click here to jump in and let’s work together!

I’ll be your sister, a reflection, I give words to the desires arising within.

If not a session, tell me what you are up to.

Leave a comment on my website. Tell me what stirs your soul? Why are you here? What is your role in our great collaborative awakening???

All my love,
xoxo

Don’t Get Caught in This Common Spiritual Trap

Art by Rudolph Carl Gorman

Art by Rudolph Carl Gorman

“The era of ditsy women must end.” ~Marianne Williamson

Right after the bombing happened in Boston, I got really sick for the first time in over a year. I was ill, my pain-body awakened, my deepest wounds and fears seemed to surface and then I spent too much time on Facebook and got hooked into some conspiracy theory videos and felt my fear surge.

I was irate. Done.

I was done with the violence, the corruption, the war, the lies, all of it.

Then, I was struggling.

The Law of Attraction, The Secret,  all those texts that say that I must only focus on the positive, were clashing with the being in me that felt the need to rise on up and speak out!

I wanted to sing my truth from every mountain top! 

What hurt the most was that part of me was angry and part of me felt that I was wrong.

If I am truly spiritual, should I only focus on the positive?

If I notice the atrocities will I only make them grow?

What does a spiritual person do in times of strife and pain?

I hear that spiritual mantra so many say: Don’t give any attention or energy to anything that causes fear. Only put attention on the positive.

You know what? That’s not true.

My answer came and it came in the voice of a trusted spiritual teacher named Marianne Williamson, and this, my friends, is what she said, in my own words.

If we are really paying attention, we know that one in four children is hungry. We know that in this country we have the largest numbers of incarcerated people on our planet right now. We know that our food system is corrupt, our water’s poisoned, our oceans and rivers polluted.

We must not be in denial.

We must not succumb to the erroneous thinking that someone or something else will deal with it all, or that it will magically float away.

The spiritual trap is this type of thinking: “Well, I am spiritual, so I am only going to focus on the good.”

We must pay attention. We must mark it, know it, see it, and then, we do what all spiritual people do, and we offer ourselves up as the vehicle, the conduit, the intersection where the divine meets with the flesh here on earth and we get busy doing what needs to be done. Together.

We are here on earth for a short time. We have much to do to ensure that we turn the ship around on the corruption of our systems, the starvation of our children, the poisons in our water, lakes and oceans and it is up to us. It is ours to improve and transform.

Let us not wait. Let us begin today and not turn a ditsy face or ignore the siren’s call.

We can, as Marianne Williamson says in this amazing video, transcend it, but only after we let it stir a fire in our bellies.

We know how this story ends, love wins. Our only question is, when? That, my friend, is up to you and me.

We can’t pretend to be loving, compassionate, caring or on our path if we are willing to turn the other cheek and be in denial about what’s happening.

Are you ready to be part of the great collaborative awakening?

Watch this video by  Marianne.

CLICK THE LINK BELOW: (She begins about 50 minutes in. It lasts about an hour. It’s worth it.)

http://agapelive.com/streaming-archives/sunday-05-05-2013/#.UZAgHYLgIjE

Join me in being used up by the divine.

As a prayer in A Course in Miracles says, “Holy Spirit, where would you have me go, what would you have me do, what would you have me say and to whom?”

This is how we live a spiritual life.

We all have our path we are meant to walk.

Yes, we have free will, too. We can choose to go in many different directions, but when it comes to the things we are meant to learn, or the path we are meant to walk, or repeating patterns to lessons we’ve yet to learn, there are some important things we must do.

Read on to discover 5 things you must to to live your purpose and have a fulfilling life.

If we put off our intuition, ignore our inner hunches and postpone that which we are here to accomplish, we will bring on those lessons to a greater degree.

We each have special gifts and purposes to fulfill in this life-time. We will receive guidance and support in how to fulfill our purpose and our mission.

Intuition comes to guide us towards that which will grow us, serve us, expand us. That which will complete our Karma. It comes in gut feelings, hunches, knowing, yearnings, desire.

So often we push away that which we really want, or rationalize with our mind because logically something doesn’t seem realistic. Yet, this is how we know our path. Our desires are keys to our innermost yearnings and access to unfolding the life we are meant to live.

We must allow ourselves to side with ourselves.

Pay attention when you desire something. This is a way that your passions and purpose speak to you.

If we don’t heed the calls, act upon our hunches, or take action to pursue our deep yearnings, we bring on our lessons in bigger ways. (Click to tweet this)

It is best to take action and pay attention in the beginning, for if we ignore our patterns, and our lessons, and what we’ve been shown over and over, we bring it on more overtly until it becomes a problem in our face that we must deal with.

Our subconscious mind will create larger and more obvious circumstances that we must deal with if we continue to ignore the signs.

The way we heal is by paying attention. Listen to your inner voice, trust your knowing and take action accordingly. Following our intuition is deeply reverent and highly spiritual and leads us to a harmonious life that unfolds with grace and ease.

Choosing to ignore patterns, or to persist with our logical mind, only brings problems, confusion, and overt disorders such as diseases. Or, we act surprised, hurt, blind sided. Yet, the truth is, intuitively, we know what’s coming- in our relationships, our jobs, with our boss, we know.

It’s time we stop pretending and begin following the subtle ways of true knowing.

I am a firm believer that we create our sicknesses and diseases or accidents to learn lessons that perhaps we didn’t learn when they were more subtle. If we don’t pay attention, spirit, our higher self, will see to it that we learn.

So, to really know your purpose and live a fulfilling life, you must cultivate a connection with yourself so that when your intuition guides you, you can perceive it and follow its urgings.

To do that, follow these simple guidelines and you’ll be off to creating life in alignment with your soul:

1. Meditate.

It can be as little as 5-15 minutes a day of closing your eyes and following your breath. Include a mantra too, if that helps. Sat Nam is a good one. Sat on the in-breath, Nam on the out-breath. This is a must do!

2. Spend time engaging in your creative urges.

As little as 15 minutes set aside to do that thing you keep thinking about doing, follow your desire, or to make your art, or work on your book, or practice your yoga will appease your mind, replenish your spirit and start a habit that could stick! 15 minutes a day and you’re on your way to accomplishing a new dream!

3. Be in nature.

We are nature hungry. Go outside. A simple daily walk could suffice. It will calm your mind and your nervous system, engage your senses and inspire you!

4. Write.

This is a great practice for anyone. Writing daily, say for the first 15 minutes after you get up, gives you a chance to “brain-dump” and get it all out on the page. You’ll remember dreams, get clear on what you want, see your feelings, and feel better in touch with you. This is such an important touch stone, or way to really connect with ourselves. Do it! You may end up automatic writing and receiving answers to deep questions.

5. Just Ask!

Ask for guidance. Ask to feel better. Ask for motivation. Ask for what you want. In your mind, out-loud, on paper, wherever! Just Ask! We all have guides and Angels around us. They can’t interfere unless we ask them too. Give them permission to assist you, and ask away! If you don’t believe, ask to have your faith strengthened. Begin a dialogue today with you and spirit.

Follow these simple guidelines and be on your way to deeper self-connection, living your purpose and having a fulfilling life!!

The Only Thing That Matters

"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."- James Barrie

“Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”- James Barrie

I write you today with a message of the only thing that matters. Read on to find out what that is.

A week ago Sunday, I came down with food poisoning. I was sick in bed, unable to eat or drink, for the following five days. I was in bed with a fever, chills, and then writhing with aches and pains.

Everything came to a stand still. There was only one thing I could do, and that was be in bed, rest and hope to get better.

Nothing seemed to work. Water, nor any other electrolyte liquid I tried to ingest, would stay in. Food? Not an option.

By day four I posted on my Facebook wall to apologize to my friends if I was sharing too much, and to please forgive me, but I was bedridden and not well.

Soon, the messages and texts and wishes for wellness came flooding in. I was moved to tears. I realized how many people I had around me that I didn’t realize I could call upon if I really needed to.

I was reminded that the only thing that really matters is our health. If we have it, we have an opportunity to be ever grateful, and to thrive, and to share our deepest gifts with the world.

If we don’t, all else falls away and what matters are those we love, do we have them? We all deserve a loving circle of intimates who will support us in our darkest of hours- drive us to the ER, bring us nutrients to nurse us to health, or offer loving company when we’ve been alone in our beds, hurting for days on end.

I feel humbled from my rest. I feel renewed as I head into Spring, remembering that what matters most is my health and the health of those near to me, and that the best I can do in this life, is fully live, and share what I am with those near to me.

And, I can show up for those in need, who don’t have the energy to shine, but are merely making it.

Our titles and jobs and possessions can all fall away.

In the end, when we are upon our death-bed, we will wonder if we really mattered.

It won’t be measured in likes on Facebook, or how many dollars we have in the bank. It will depend upon the loving friends in our intimate circle. In our final hours, we will only wish to have our intimates gathered round, we will only wish to know that we are loved.

So, I invite you, today and everyday, to remember that which matters most and show up for those you really love, be a hand, give a call, keep those you cherish company. while they are still here, and to allow them to keep you company, too.

Let’s make time for those we love the most.

In the end, love is all we need.

Hope you are having a healthy spring.

xoxo

Treasures for Your Pain

Art by Irina Karkabi

Art by Irina Karkabi

Ah, my sweet, golden butterfly

How charmed I am

My nose tickles,

My wings flutter…

All from the resonance of your name

Sweet word that rings of you

May your breath be full and deep

May your eyes be strong and well

May your hands be protected

For all the things you’ll make and sell

Giant creator you are,

These things I know for sure…

Light and love surround you

Your power will endure

There are secrets to come to you

Sweet treasures yours to claim

Sweet daisies for your pockets

And pennies for your pain

Worry not, my Lord.

Your life is blessed and true

You are an Angel sent from heaven,

The one, the only, you!

The Way I Am: My Story & How to Solve Problems

“If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

528251_519398771450185_902445982_n

With the events of the Boston Marathon bombings, I’ve begun to share a little more openly that I question authority and am open-minded.

It’s spurred some hot debate. Predictably, I was told to leave this country. Nice.

How quickly we forget that this nation was founded by rebels, committing treason, indicting their King and creating a new nation out of nothing more than words, paper and conviction.

Like with anything, when we are willing to be open, inquisitive and interested, and when we are willing to take risks and try new things, we may learn something and create anew.

“When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely- the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it.” ~Jiddu Krishanmurti

Read on to hear a little bit about my story, and perhaps you will see more of the big picture about why I think the way that I do.

I really started questioning in college with the inspiration of an intelligent boyfriend and a solid base of awesome past educators.

Tom taught me chess and how to climb trees. During those escapades, he’d share his perspectives about the way the world works.

Soon after, I awoke in my Sorority house to the news of the Columbine killings. I was deeply affected. I went to Bear Creek High School as a prep student, we played them in sports, I’d walked those halls, that was where I grew up.

One of the girls who died was named Rachel. She had long brown hair, was an avid writer, and happened to drive my exact same car- color, model, year, make.

I left my studies in Greeley and went solo to walk the grounds of the shooting. I cried in the parking lot beside her car topped with flowers.

Rachel’s  journals revealed she intuitively knew about her forthcoming death. Her spirituality and faith inspired me.

My boyfriend at the time was also the cook for our sorority house. He openly asked me and others to question why something like that would happen.

Before we wrote off the killers as “bad guys” what of the culture in which they were born and bred?

I remember how I was ostracized by my so-called friends for hanging out with Tom after that. I remember my pain as they said he was part of “The trench-coat mafia.”

I ached to be loved and accepted by them, but I resonated deeply with the questioning that Tom presented.

When it comes to tragedies, like Marianne Williamson says, “No one has a monopoly on compassion.” Just because we question why something has happened, or the root of its origin, does not mean we don’t care for those involved. Nor does it mean we should leave our country, for to question authority is deeply patriotic.

As Einstein says, which I memorized from the days it hung on my college walls after that:

“Great thinkers are often met with violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

Those words became a touch-stone in a world where I often seemed to see things that few others did.

That summer, I was waiting tables at the Red Robin across the street from Columbine. A man, seated in my section, began to ask me about God.

Something happened.

I opened. The tears flooded out, I listened to his words, for the first time in my life, I listened to a Christian Preacher.

The lady waiting at the other table was annoyed that I’d been ignoring her, naturally.

She interrupted us.

There I was, face drenched in tears, having a holy moment.

I couldn’t move. I was in an altered space.

I realized that there was no room for God in that job.

I got her what she needed and then walked out, then and there, told them, “I quit.” I never went back.

I left the sorority too and dove into my studies, which were two minors, Psychology and Multicultural Anthropology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences.

I trained myself to learn from other cultures without judgement,  for that’s what an Anthropologist does.

If you’ve never heard this song, please be like an Anthropologist and check it out.

I was fortunate to have stellar teachers in college, and I learned much about the hundreds of tribes of Native Americans displaced, forced from their homes and killed.

Back in High School, I loved the teaching style of my history professor in my French Revolution class. I learned very well about what a government can do to its people, and that people will rise up, rebel, and storm a great palace in revolt if push comes to shove; but perhaps only after much public slaughtering on the Guillotine.

I remember the day I entered my Social Studies class and the desks were pushed aside, the walls opened, 60 or so of us crammed into a room and a man at the front table with the tattoo of Auschwitz on his arm.

His face is seared into my memory to this day, for I was in rapt awe as his words enveloped me, his story, horrific.

He ended by noting that there were people who said the Holocaust never happened, and he urged us to remember, to share, to speak, and to never let it happen again.

That same teacher used music to teach and said this song was written as a protest to the Vietnam War. We listened.

I warn you, this video is graphic. It sends a message.

He played this one, too.

I shared that day how both my parents were there, how my mom was in the crowd when the National Guard open fired on unarmed students, protesting peacefully.

My mom said, “They think they’ve been shot!”

She didn’t believe for one minute that her government would open-fire on them, until she saw the blood and they didn’t get up.

If I am radical, perhaps, like the Columbine killers, I am merely a product of the society in which I live.

“Hitler and Mussolini were only the primary spokesmen for the attitude of domination and craving for power that are in the heart of almost everyone. Until the source is cleared, there will always be confusion and hate, wars and class antagonisms.” ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

Born and bred in this country, I’ve learned about a lot of violence in our past, much of it at the hands of governments. If I question the motives of those in power, it is only a desire to get to the truth.

“All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.” ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

The One Question We Must Ask

537382_514605351929527_1224657946_n

Hello Dear Friends,

This is my newsletter that went out a week ago. I want to share it with you here today. I hope you enjoy, there’s a great book I  reference near the end that I want you to know about. Perhaps you’ve read it? Read on to know the one question we must ask.

So often people write to me on Facebook or email and they say, “You seem to be doing really well. Everything seems to be so great for you!”

I’m always appreciative of their positive reflection and yet, I pause when I hear something like this, for we are all human, we all have our shadow and our pain to feel and work through, none of us is exempt.

Don’t think that it’s all roses over here!  

It’s not. In fact, I want to be clear, in order to grow in the way that I have- leaving my career, taking a risk, growing a business as an entrepreneur, coming out as a psychic, all of this is possible only because I have been willing to sit and face some serious pain.

A very real part of the spiritual process is when the shadow is brought to the light and transformed. We are all wounded and we all fall prey to the shadow side of human existence.

In fact, this is why I write you of this theme today.

A very close friend and I had a disagreement. I realized this was the first time, in all the years that we’ve known one another, that we’ve ever had an argument.

The shadow sides of us came out to play.

It didn’t go well.

I was hurt.

Before long, I could see we were two wounded kids attempting to justify our side, whilst triggering the other person, in the process, to feel defensive.

The spiritual text,  A Course in Miracles, says that we are never angry for the reason we think we are.

What may seem to be a wound from the hurtful ways of a friend, is really just a trigger, rubbing the buttons of our shadow parts and eliciting a response, probably in place since we were very young.

Regardless of where our wounds came from, we are responsible for them now.

We are adults.

We must atone to heal, that is to say, we must take responsibility for our part in it, to have peace. We can never insist that another accept blame.

As Marianne Williamson says in The Shadow Effect:

“Ultimately, the healing of the world will emerge not from our changing and correcting of others, but from our willingness to change and correct ourselves. Since all minds are joined, our ability to self-correct has a corrective influence on the entire universe. In a very real way, it’s the only thing that does.”

Here it is, the one question we must ask:

The true seeker says, “What is my part in this?”

We may know that, but how do we really do that work, when the rubber meets the road and we are down-right pissed?

I’ve got a tool for you and it works.

First, ground yourself!

Sit, with your feet flat on the earth, deepen your breath and create a grounding cord beneath you, as wide as your hips, cylindrical in nature, and see that it connects to the center of the Earth.

Flip an imaginary switch to “release” and intend that all energy that no longer serves you leaves your body via this cord and goes into the Earth to be transmuted.

Next, set your aura space- imagine a sphere around you, and as above, so below, tuck it in to your grounding cord, three feet below you.

Then, cleanse your aura by bringing in soapy bubbles, or asking your angels to heal your aura, or do whatever moves you!

Finally, create an imaginary rose in your aura bubble and intend that all the energy of this situation go into that rose. Imgaine the person’s face on the rose. Send that rose out to the center of the universe and pop it!

You are not being mean, or causing harm. You are simply removing energy from your space so that you can be centered, clear and neutral.

Try it and see what happens!

The more we allow for our trigger NOT to be tripped, the more we cultivate real power. (Click to tweet)

Sometimes, we need some crafty tools to assist us in not getting lit up by other people or outside situations.

These tools will help.

For other ways to heal yourself and be embodied and move energy, visit my FREE resources page. Click here.

In the end, we are all human, and we all lose our cool. And, there are simple practices we can do that will help us react less and less, so we can can experience miracles!  The Course says that a miracle is correct perception.

Correct perception is knowing that only love is real.

Next time your friend or lover flips, or someone seemingly goes crazy, see the truth of who they are, under the angry monster that may be appearing in front of you.

If a small child were crying, we would not think they were horrible. When adults freak, we think they are crazy.

Meditate with these tools regularly and gain in patience and power, so when your loved one is trippin’, or all the world’s ablaze with fear, you can be the light that sees the truth of who they really are, or what’s really going on, in the midst of other’s pain.

Maybe next time, they’ll do that for you.

It only takes one adult for the distinction of adult to be present.

As Caroline Myss so poignantly points out, the inner work of the soul can stir up some fear.

We intuitively know that if we begin to show up to meditation, which is connection to Self and Source, then we know that we will begin to move energy and that which has been in place, may move.

We have to be brave and courageous to walk the spiritual path. We have to be willing to have it all fall away. We have to surrender to “thy will” and not our own, humbling ourselves to the truth that we are not in control.

The divine is leading, we are never in control, though we often think we are. To really connect in with Self, we have to build our self-esteem, we have to have confidence, we have to love ourselves enough to carve out time to get to know ourselves.

In a rush and busy world that has falsely taught us that love is giving and putting others first, we must unlearn what we think we know. We must be willing to not only talk of “self-love” but to really practice it, day in and day out.

For the truth is, we can tell what we prioritize and what we are committed to by where our butt is right now. Look at where you are, right now, what you are doing, right now and you will see what you are really committed to.

We must begin to prioritize that which most ignites our passion and serves our soul. We must be willing to give up all security and the worship of all false Gods if we are to live in alignment, know ourselves and therefore be able to serve in a fulfilling way.

The thing we love the most must be the thing we do the most. (click to tweet this.)

It seems so simple but it’s true. We spend our time mindlessly watching television, surfing the web, talking on the phone complaining about our lives and then we wonder where the time has gone and why we aren’t where we thought we’d be.

It is simple, the key to happiness. Yet, it’s not easy.

Write your goals each day. Get deep into the life you envision. Sit with it. Meditate on it. See it. Visualize it, feel it and watch it unfold in your mind’s eye like a movie and be moved by what you see and feel.

Write down your goals. Review them daily.

Do you even know what is most important to you and what you most want?

Here are some great ways to find out:

Read inspiring books.

Walk.

Dance.

Meditate.

Let yourself dream, and immediately cut off any thoughts of envy, jealousy or impossibility. Know that what you see is showing you what you, too, can have.

And when spirit moves you, and visions come and your dreams speak to you and your heart aches for the life you know you could live, don’t pretend you didn’t hear it.

We must be courageous enough to embody our truth and walk in the world of risk and leaping off cliffs. How else will we create the new Earth, teach our children well and be happy inside?

What God shall we serve? A vengeful God? An IRS God? A President God? A money God?

Or, shall we each ignite our own light in our hearts and minds and use our vital life-force energy for manifesting in reality that which dwells in the secret chamber of our heart?

Your days will pass you by, the years will come and go, and the way you will have what you’ve always wanted is if you begin to put your attention, intention and time into it now.

Cultivate the seeds of your deepest, secret, heart-spaces and water them daily. Nurture your inner soul and let go of anything that binds.

That is how you find yourself, feel your essence, and grow in intuitive knowing and self-love.

Do it. Do it now. Don’t delay. Time waits for no woman. :)

All my love,

On Bombings and Shootings and Mass Killings

522139_516693158387413_1710302078_n

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”~Arthur Schopenhauer

I have some things to say, and they likely will not be popular. It’s okay, though, like Abraham says, “There is never a crowd on the leading edge of consciousness.”

When people are shot, whether in a school, a theater, or on the street, the best thing we can do is sit back, not react and breathe. (assuming we are hearing about it from a distance, and not on the scene.)

It’s sad. We care. We love. We want people to be okay.

And, we wonder…why does this KEEP happening?

Are there just crazy haters in pain? Sometimes.

Sometimes, not.

It’s been happening for eons. It’s the way of the world of the past, it is the darkness of the dark ages, and the muck of the third dimension.

We are evolving in our consciousness, raising our awareness, awakening.

Not all of us, though.

I’m sad to say, when tragedies like this happen, my spidey sense goes off, and I wonder who is  *really* behind it?

Our government is a farce. It is a puppet show, and the real people pulling the strings behind the scenes aren’t accountable to you and me.

Beware of making sweeping judgements about people, or the crazies of the world, or how we need to fix problems by making new laws.

Like Einstein said, we can’t fix our problems with the same thinking that created them.

So too, is it true, that we can’t fix the problems of the current world, by continuing to participate in and perpetuate the very structures and systems that have it be the way that it is.

Einstein also said that insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result.

Our government wants it this way…fear, war, killing. If it didn’t it would keep going to war and sending out messages of terror. If it didn’t, it wouldn’t spend trillions on desecration of tribes, land, people. It would house our sick, feed our starving, care for our young.

If we continue to argue in the media, fight with each other, search for “bad guys” or debate what must be done differently or better, we are but pawns in a scheme to create separation amongst humans.

If we wave the flag and strengthen our sense of American pride, we forget of the lies of our leaders and the atrocities being done to our mother earth and we resolve to be patriotic and come together against evil. And they win. This only breeds more separation, which is the root of our pain and why we do harm.

We get scared and feel unsafe. We lock our doors, and soon enough we forget that we are powerful spirits, capable of greatness, with innovative solutions at hand to bring us together as one.

We muck around inside the Matrix of a broken, corrupt nation and we pretend that this new law, or that new law will make it all okay and we can go back to our television, ice cream and feelings of safety.

The reality? There’s a lot more going on here than we know. Let me start with a few examples.

Taxes? Unconstitutional. It was an amendment that was never ratified and there exists no law that we have to pay, but, being the law-abiding citizens and general “do gooders” that we are, trained to please from years of indoctrination in school, we pay.

Why? Why are people who are poor and can barely put food on the table forced to pay 25% of their earnings to their government? That’s three months worth of work. Yet, billion dollar corporations pay no taxes. WHY?

What does that have to do with anything, you might ask?

That little “Federal Tax” piece of legislation was slipped in to the document containing the legislation to create our first “Central” bank in the U.S. in 1913 and was drafted not by lawmakers, but by bankers.

A “little” private corporation owns all the money in America, able to craft it out of thin air, based on interest, a.k.a. debt.

Leaving you and me slaves to masters in a system designed to enslave.

Think I’m off my rocker? Know any civilization in history where it wasn’t a slave/master society?

Who benefits?

Our government gets a blank check in time of war. 

They need war. Why else would we always have it?

Until we understand who owns the money and really see where its being spent, we may believe that the politician on the stage really does work for us.

Some of us vote, too, as if that system works. Well, like Ani DiFranco says, we do get a choice between “tweetle dum and tweetle dummer.”

Some of us get our news from the television, as if it will report any truth.

Our government and governments around the world for thousands of years have killed, maimed, tortured and hurt. Populations have been mutilated and displaced for the love of God.

Our own country kills its own people, creates disastrous terror and then uses it to create fear so it can start unjust wars and gain oil and money and power. All while destroying the environment.

The atrocities of this age are innumerable and it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Don’t watch the news. Don’t talk about “bad guys” “out there” that do “unspeakable” things.

I ask you, why are we so outraged by shootings or bombs that kill innocent people, but we sit idly by while our government destroys countries, murders children, leaves starving people to die, spends trillions on killing, steals our money, takes away our rights and poisons our food and water? Don’t let this distract you…

Begin to look behind the curtain and see that all the world’s a stage and we, my friends, are being fooled.

It sucks. I know. I hurt, too. I don’t want anyone killed. I want peace.

Yet, I know the truth. There is a lot more going on behind closed doors than we are led to believe. With GMO food, fluoride in our water, 911, mass killings, bogus wars that cost trillions and starving children on the street, it’s time we wake up.

These acts of “terrorism” are often planted. Set up. By our government.

If we are outraged, they win. We point our fingers at each other, debate, and believe that there are “evil doers” out there that we need protection from.

These plots are designed to pit us against each other, strengthen a “nation-state” and give justification for taking away our civil liberties.

Hey, don’t take my word for it. Please, just watch the Zeitgeist movies and see for yourself.

Have an open mind, be willing to grow and expand and take in some new information.

Then, make a choice about where you stand and what you believe for yourself; not based on your cultural programming or your church, or your mom, but based on information and your own solid knowing.

For, if we want to change the world, I am with Gandhi. He said, be the change. We must.

Lend yourself not to propaganda, anger, outrage or blame.

Sit back, breathe, and cultivate your source with all there really is: LOVE.

That’s your source, your truth, the infinite spirit that you are.

Let the reporters and haters and sleeping people cry out in the streets and be in fear and pain. You won’t help them by joining them. Pull out of the third dimension and breathe in your heart space.

Hold peace in your heart. Cherish those around you, here and now. Pray for the families, but don’t cry out and engage in a system that is broken. Neo would never protest inside The Matrix. Nor should we. RISE UP!

Know that you are spirit, infinite, powerful, incapable of being defiled. So too, the ones who’ve died. Death is an illusion. We are infinite.

Find peace within. That, my friend, will do wonders for the world.

“There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the roots.”~Henry David Thoreau
