Telling a New You Story....

If you try to force yourself to change, then change will never stick. - Gabby Bernstein

Thunder struck and the clouds parted in the sky.... that is how I felt when I read the above words by my friend Gabrielle Bernstein this morning. I have been doing some serious work while praying and leaning on God and the Angels for support. I am re-writing my story.....

Actions steps are required and I have my boot straps pulled up to my a**. I am serious, determined, fierce, loved and lovable all wrapped into one giant vessel.

This is a year of transformation my dear ones. I know, I know..... we are always stretching, growing and hopefully learning; however, this year is HUGE!!!!! Our creator has laid an amazing grid for our prosperity, health and happiness. The bank of the universe is not broke.

Now, what are you doing to do about it? How are doing to make this life your best ever starting right here, right now?

Here is a passage from Debbie Ford, a sweet angel who held my hand as I made a determined effort for my best life ever. I love her for her assistance. Now she is in heaven, still working miracles, except now she really is everywhere. ;)

It's so easy to make promises about the year ahead. You will follow your diet, be more financially responsible, be kinder to your spouse, spend more time at the gym...But, for most, the promises you make today will be empty dreams six months from now. Real change doesn't occur when you just want something or wish for another reality. Real change happens when you feel genuinely inspired, turned on by possibility and unwilling to settle for anything less. It happens when you commit with all of yourself to a new way of life, to a new future. So how do you do this? 

To feel inspired and lit up and to make room for optimism, enthusiasm, and lasting change, you must lighten your emotional load by addressing your past issues, your emotional blocks, your negative beliefs, your feelings of unworthiness and any infantile desires that drive you to repeatedly head off in a direction counter to your dreams. If you drop your commitments, it is not because you want to be seen as a quitter or a loser but because unconsciously you are more committed to an outdated self -- an old identity that feels comfortable and safe even though it might have stopped serving you years ago. Often, psychological laziness will have you switch your life over to autopilot and fall asleep at the wheel rather than stay awake to what will fulfill your heart's deepest desires and your soul’s purpose. 

In these first weeks of the new year, a very fertile time to look over your past and commit to a new future, you can ask these simple questions to unload some old baggage and steer your life in the direction of a brilliant and thrilling future -- the ride of your life. 

1. What are your deepest desires for this new year? 

2. What are you willing to give up to get them? What habits, limiting beliefs, unhealthy relationships or situations? 

3. When did you become unwilling to do whatever it takes to have what you want? 

4. What cravings or unmet needs will drive you away from your desired destination? 

5. What structure of support will you need to ensure this new future? 

6. Who could you count on to be your co-pilot to ensure that you will neither fall short of the runway nor overshoot your desired outcome? Who will help you stay awake? 

If you wish to fly to new heights, begin by setting your sights on a destination you can reach and then create a flight plan, a map that will be your guide. And if at any time you don't feel like following your flight path, stop, take a deep breath, call forth your vision for your future, then pick up your phone, dial your co-pilot and ask them to remind you that veering off your route really isn’t worth the pain of repeating the past. Veering off will only leave you in the same repetitive pattern of wanting, wishing, fantasizing, and then feeling intensely disappointed when you land at a destination other than the phenomenal future that awaits you. 

So today, YOU have the power to choose the destination of your dreams, create a flight plan and stick to it. So gather your courage, your strength and your commitment and get on board, making this year the most inspiring year of your life.

Have a great week, bust it wide open and make a difference today. As we continue this journey together, know that I love you, I am grateful for this experience, God is and that is my truth.

5 Steps to Prepare For The Eclipse Energy Gateway

I read this today and found it very pertinent to where we are and how to better able ourselves to move forward in this incredible transformational energy that is upon us.

The 11/3 eclipse at the new moon could be one of the most transformational energy gateways this year – for you and all of humanity.

The potentials for major upheavals sit side-by-side with possibilities for significant opportunities. We have eclipses each year, of course, but Scorpio solar eclipses like the one on 11/3 don’t come around every year. The last one like this was in November 1994, nearly two decades ago during the earlier phases of global spiritual awakening.

With today’s accelerated awakening process in full swing, this November’s eclipse promises to be an intense catalyst for transformational shifting on a mega scale. Most likely, you felt at least a few bumps from the 10/18 lunar eclipse. On some level, you are probably still processing those chaotic energies – making updates in your personal life and self-reflecting about what else needs to change.

Between eclipses, too, you are in a process of adapting to a wave of new energies unfolding across the planet as humanity becomes more aware of global predicaments. Issues and conflicts are increasingly transparent and urgent. This trend will continue, bringing light to what’s not working and putting a fire under problems now too big to be swept under the carpet.

In the next several days leading up to the next eclipse, you want to pay attention to energy shifts and your own responses to happenstance. To be sure, as things intensify in your outer world, your own imbalances and unfinished business will come to your attention. Noticing these things now – and working with them in advance of our 11/2 energy gateway event with The Council of 12 – will help you to maximize the significant opportunities of the 11/3 eclipse.

5 Steps to Prepare for the Eclipse Energy Gateway

First, think about what was happening in your life the last time we had a Scorpio solar eclipse in November 1994. What significant event or ending took place and what new phase started?

Second, since the upcoming gateway is to be focused on significant beginnings and endings, consider what in your life needs to start or end. Meditate on themes involving physical things, mental concepts, work situations, and relationships. Invite your higher wisdom to begin revealing the specifics of what you need to let go or revamp in order to make way for a brand-new beginning.

Third, using insights received from the above process, make a list of what you need to leave behind, rework, or perhaps remake entirely into something else. For right now, don’t be concerned about the order of your list or how you will accomplish the letting go. The important thing is to write these things on paper to anchor them in your awareness.

Fourth, invite spirit to bring you clarity about these things between now and the eclipse gateway. This clarity may come through dreams, from life happenstance, or during moments when you reflect on your list of what needs to go.

Fifth, on a daily basis ahead of the eclipse gateway, consider your key ending themes – honing in on some of the appropriate steps you will need to take. Remember that in order to step into your new life, you cannot bring with you things or situations that are unworkable – things that prevent you from being all that you can be. Don’t let this old baggage overwhelm you. Just pay attention to what you discover and begin your preliminary letting go process now ahead of the gateway.

As you do this advance process and begin to shift things in your life, you open the door to stepping into a new, more expansive cycle. Remind yourself that you deserve this. Know that your empowered divine changemaker self is ready to step into the new beginnings of this next phase. Trust this.

Unraveling......



By: Stephanie Alice Rogers

I hear this phrase, it's been with me for many years, "Unraveling at the seams." I heard it most when life had gotten so heavy and thick that it was the breaking point for many. The point in which change had to occur, whether it was self-imposed or the universe had given that final 2x4 to the head.

Unraveling is not a bad thing. It's not coming undone or losing control. It's LETTING GO in the best possible way. It is untangling the knots that hold you back. It is unwrapping the GIFTS you've hidden for far too long. It is unearthing the potential that's always been there. It is finally ditching the labels and should-haves and letting yourself be what you were meant to always be.

I love that we are given the opportunity time and time again to be what we were always meant to be. It is time to get your shift together.

You already have all you need, you just have to unravel. Let me assist you in putting your tools in motion.

Private sessions are available now. I will personally work with you for 21 days to assist in getting your shift in gear.  It is a process and I will be with you, every step of the way.

Invest in yourself, you are so worth it and more. My purpose is to assist you in clearing away any illusion-based blocks to this natural, positive movement so that joy can blossom and blessings can flow to you. $197 to change your world, what a small fee for greatness. I am offering sessions to assist you in getting your Shift together.

Message me at Aromatic Institute, or visit our website to find our different natural ways that essential oils can and will assist your natural body.

Much Gratitude & Blessings,

More Retrograde Madness?

This has been a tough Mercury retrograde period and it ends this week, although the shadow period extends to September 9. This is something that happens at least three times a year so it's not an unusual phenomenon but our heightened awareness and greater sensitivity to energy is making this one more difficult because we are more aware of the changes that are happening, more attuned to the shifts that are happening around us and more involved in them because we are more connected to everything that is happening, beyond the small part that is our involvement.

This heightened sensitivity makes us aware of the changes that are happening within us and within others. We feel their pain, their doubt and confusion and if we are in fear, we can take it personally. The transformation we are going through is not something that is being experienced by people who have been or are following a spiritual path, it's being felt by everyone. And everyone reacts to it according to their level of understanding. So someone who suddenly decides that a relationship is no longer right for them at this time may be feeling doubt and confusion about their own ability to relate. But to the person on the receiving end, it's a different matter.

I've been writing for some time that the transformation we have been going through for the past five years or more will soon be felt by everyone and that time is here. And others will experience this transformation through the filter of their fears and have to address their own energetic alignment and integrity. They will make choices that include us, or not. They will act from their fear and may decide that the life they have is wrong for them and abandon it, and us. They make become so different that we can no longer be with them.

And as we continue our own transformation we may decide that the life we have is no longer right for us, that the people we have been surrounded by, including family, are so removed from our vibrational range that we can no longer connect to them in any way. Parting may be difficult but what is removed will be replaced by what fits our energy and this is a time for us to focus on the level of community, connection and relating that we want in our life so we can be surrounded by people that we can and want to be connected and who can and want to be connected to us.

You attract according to how you value yourself. 

This beautiful message was brought to us by Jennifer Hoffman. I can honestly say that this retrograde period has been the toughest for me and for many others in a long time.We are continually shifting, growing and stretching into our soul's path and purpose. I have found over the last 5-6 years how interesting it is to remove yourself from energetic vibrations that are not for your highest good and how allowing for yourself to be valued through your eyes and your filters, you open yourself up to be surrounded by those who match and it has enriched my world exponentially. Thank you for stepping in, we at Aromatic Institute have been using a transformational kit from Aroma Pharmica called the Power Up Kit and Steeping In is one of the blends that have assisted the shift and continual forward movement for me. Thank you and I am grateful.

Transforming Challenges

It is important to remember that it is far more effective to hold all that you are concerned with in the container of gratitude. It may seem difficult, however, we invite you to continue to be creative and envision the best rather than worry about the worst. Begin to see the most amazing outcome happening, hold that vision with the tenderness of a gardener and her new seedling. You are far more effective in supporting their healing and well-being by seeing them at their best. When a thought of concern or worry comes to your active mind, quickly find something about this situation in which you are grateful. It can be a simple gratitude. Pre-plan these gratitude's, have a file of miracles, blessings easily ready to grab when needed. 

The minute you are aware that you are dropping into a place of worry or concern, take a deep breath, sigh and replace the worry thought with one that has a lighter flavor, a more coherent frequency. This is a conscious exercise, it is what is yours to do right now. You can be the anchor for your loved ones to hold on to, the vibration that they will entrain with, the link to their strength and well-being.
 .
During these times of great change and great evolutionarily shifts, it is most important for those who are aware to hold a firm and stable platform for all those who are striving to transform some dysfunction. Remember that you are a transformer; everyone is a transformer of dense, dysfunctional patterns and energy. However these dysfunctional patterns and energy manifest in your life and the lives of others, they are there to be processed and transformed through the conscious system of an awakened multidimensional being. This is the same tool to use with any situation and thought patterns that do not support your joy and well-being, whether it is health, finances, personal relationships, jobs or family.

You can align yourself with the flow of well-being, and joy simply by holding a clear and firm frequency of gratitude. The mind loves to solve problems, to worry, to fret, to be concerned. That is what the mind loves to do and the mind will hijack your time doing just that. This is the old paradigm; this is what you are shifting and transforming. Realize that it is just a pattern of thought; it is just an old emotional frequency that still resides inside the system of your mind. It is important to understand and realize that you are moving into a new paradigm in which you will hold a vision, a thought, and intention of what you desire to manifest and it will be so.

So this day we invite you to return to a state of gratitude as often and a frequently as possible.  Know that your loved ones also have patterns to shift and transform, that is theirs to do. Know that your loved ones are also magnificent multidimensional beings who agreed to assist in the transformation of dysfunction on this planet, in all its many forms. Each one has a purpose, an assignment, a soul agreement that they are in the process of completing. Support them with your highest and your best thoughts and emotions for them. They will feel this on the subtle planes of consciousness. Your blessings will embrace them and lift them up, your joy will light their way.

We invite you to call upon the celestial and divine realms of truth, love and light, assistance and support is as close as the request. Know that we are always as near has your heartbeat and as close as your breath. Be at peace beloved, know that all is well.

______________Message from the "Team"_________ transduced and scribed by Peggy Black

Hey y'all, we are in some very interesting times where we are being asked to step up, tune in, dial up. This is not for those with nay sayer mentality - we are embarking on unchartered territory in which we are the pioneers of heart space, effective energetic emittants and tremendous growth in our souls. AMAZING...  We are now between two powerful eclipses (the first one happened on 6/1 and the second one on the Full Moon on 6/15.) According to ancient belief this is a MAGICAL manifesting time. Obstacles can be removed. What do you want gone from your life? Intention THAT this week! Visit me at the Aromatic Institute.

Until next time,

The Golden Key

The following was written by Ellen Whitehurst

 So just a little bit more detail regards that magical golden key that somehow showed up in my life these last few days.  But, first, I wasn’t surprised that Stephen was eliminated off Top Chef last night but I sure was sad to see Dale go.  Now, that said, as long as Tre is still dreamily hanging around, well, sigh.

And Andy Cohen’s after show last night with Amy Sedaris was fall out funny and even Colicchio couldn’t keep a straight face.  Hilarity in the Bravo clubhouse.

And the laughing continued right into the early snowy morning when each boy who came by was more wrapped up than the next.  See we live in an area close by the Chesapeake Bay and we have these enormous dunes nearby, so, whenever it does snow (and stick) the boys snowboard and sled, for hours, down those dunes.  But first they converge here and I swear it was like a Norman Rockwell painting here earlier today.
And right this instant I am waiting on Val to get here to help me put up the tree.  FINALLY.  I am just so behind this holiday season!  But I was in front of the energies this morning when I walked into my bathroom this morning.  Truth be told I did see something sticking out over the top of that door yesterday but I just don’t know why I didn’t just reach up and grab whatever it was.  I had alot on my mind yesterday so I don’t think I was present with that gift.

But this morning, just as I passed under the door, the sun caught the key and it sparkled and shimmered.  I got up on my tip toes and grabbed the key and pulled it down in front of me.  A golden key.  What?  Why?  How’d it get there?  Weird.

So the first thing I thought was that Val must have left that key there when he was in my room the other day.  But, still, a golden key on top of the lip of my bedroom bathroom door?  Hmmmmm……

But, then, I quieted and I asked what this key meant.  And that still small voice that I trust so very much just said these three words, ‘The Golden Key.’  When I got to my computer I looked up a small book that I remembered reading once upon a million years ago.  But, I couldn’t remember what the message of the tiny little pamphlet was.  Until I reread that message again today.  And, essentially, it’s this:

The Golden Key is practicing the presence of God.  This method definitely supports and aligns with main messages of almost every other tradition I have studied.  Simply put, The Golden Key maintains that thoughts are things.  And that where you place your thoughts, consistently and constantly, is also what you will most assuredly manifest in your life.  In this particular pamphlet, the author, Emmet Fox, says that focusing on problems will only serve to create more of same in your life.  The Fantastic Mister Fox gave us his Golden Key by instructing that WHENEVER your thoughts turn to ANYTHING you don’t want in your life, you should CONSCIOUSLY STOP and turn your thoughts to God (or whoever your Higher Power is.)  But the idea is the same.  Don’t spend one second thinking about anything unproductive.  And if/when your find yourself slipping into anything anxiety producing you should IMMEDIATELY and CONSCIOUSLY stop that stinking thinking and then shift your vibration to an immeasurably higher one by simply thinking about God.

So I am grateful, grateful, grateful…for a benevolent and blessed Universe that will manifest little golden keys for me to remember that we are not ever alone.  Symbols.  They speak to the language of the soul.  And can unlock our ultimate potential so that it can be filled to overflowing with miracles, magic and possibility.
So that is why I am also offering a link today from our friend and uber astrologer Kathy Rose.  She does her inimitable inspirational job of offering insights on symbols and signs from the Universe.  Go ahead and link to her wisdom right here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/roseastrology?feature=mhw5#p/u/0/vsFchweK2B0

The signs are all around us.  All the time.  Look for yours right now!  Here, I’ll kick that effort off…….XOE!

I have to say that I love love love Ellen and so love the insight from Kathy Rose. Since finding Ellen a few month's ago, I have had great forward movement. Thanks Ellen!

Hope this finds you all well and your holidays are filled with uber love, happiness and joy!

Aromatic kisses,
Heather
