Greetings to each of you! Talk about wild energies! What a ride! The past couple of weeks have revealed huge incoming waves of energies that we have not seen before. They look like very light mist green arcs moving through our dimension. There are others too that look very light silver. These waves are really shaking things up. If you are in balance things are going amazingly well for you. If not, and you are kicking and screaming your way through the current changes, things might not be so pretty for you but that can change!
I am seeing a lot of different symptoms on opposite poles of the spectrum with the current energy influxes. Many are having relationship issues, body pain that is very intense, mild headaches, old emotions surfacing, mineral deficiencies, excess energy, lack of energy and motivation or on the flip side, a huge spurt of creative juices. We can expect these pendulum swings over the next few weeks.
In addition we were also in a whopper of a Mercury Retrograde. This one feels pretty brutal and started affecting us over a week before actually going retrograde. This is a time when we must be very careful about our communications, make sure that what we mean has been heard and not something else, and also to follow up on what we have said or transmitted in emails, letters or any other kind of communication. May messages are not getting through lately. This can be frustrating but a little extra attention to things can go a long way in alleviating problems!
In all of the craziness of the times, we really need to work on self. To get our internal balance and stay there. It is really easy to get caught up in everyone else’s drama and trauma especially over the holidays. The truth is that every day is a holiday, a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience life as only that day can offer. If we keep our perspectives, we can realize that it is our traditions that are important. Our sense of ceremony and continuity that comes no matter what. These times call for us to honor something external.
I suggest that we take that even further and celebrate that we are creating the holidays out of a sense of our inner holiness. Our sacredness. Our connection with the divine forces that bring us life, love, and the ability to feel at all. How we feel and how we live is all by our choice, our free will, and our desire to find both commonality and to stand out. The very animation of us as beings of light. We have the power and the choice to experience this life to our greatest potential or to become victims of those experiences. Live, laugh, love as you never have. These current energies are like a crescendo of magic carrying us to a great opening of beingness. Ride it high and don’t look back!
This was sent to me by Meg Blackburn Losey. It has been quite the energetic ride as of late and I can say from personal experience that I have seen it from all angles and sides from people. Whew.... I mean really. I am physically tired from warding off all the emotional, mental and psychic attacks. Talk about swords and shields for protection. Anyhoo, be good, be safe and I will write more on this later in the week. I can say that I had to bring out the Power Up Kit from the Aromatic Institute, which are four incredible blends called Trusting Source, Valor, Loosening Karmic Knots and Receive Divine Love. These have been a God send for me. You should give it a go for yourself, remember you deserve it! Until next time, XOH
I so apologize for the blog delay. Dang - We have moved through some
intense planetary alignments, an eclipse, a mercury retrograde and some
spectacular trans dimensional energy shifts.
The energies are no longer
coming in waves like they used to. They are instead coming to and through as
fractals that arrange as libraries and records within our energy fields. If ever there was a time when we needed to get right with ourselves, it is now.
What I mean by that is that we must be completely truthful with ourselves about
everything in our life experiences. No more making excuses for why things
aren't working out the way we wanted them to. No more blaming others when we
have the innate power to change it all. Creation is not only listening but
participating with us as we are within it to bring forward whatever we state
must be true.
If ever the word Amen applied it is now. So be it. So it is, Oh
yeah and right on. Whatever we mean, there it is. In terms of symptoms lately I
am seeing a lot of odd headaches, sacral issues, joint pain, digestive issues,
foggy headedness and even tendencies to disassociate, or feel as if we aren't
really in our bodies. If this is happening to you, do what you need to get
grounded. Chocolate is a terrific grounding agent. Cold water on the wrists,
lean your back against a big old tree. Walk barefoot in the grass or put your
hands in the dirt. Those are just a few good suggestions.
If you are in situations that don't serve who you are in this now, deal with
them. Either do what you need to do to rectify them or cut them loose. These
energies don't have room for untruths and untruths can become far more than
everyday nuisances. What do you really want? Where do you really want to be?
With whom? Why not?
Celebrate yourself. Remember we didn't come here for the explicit job of being
challenged. The reality is that we are here to live and all we need to do to
accomplish that is to do the best we can. There is no judgment panel. We are
the ones deciding our way. Where will we go today? Remember it is always and
forever our choice. If we don't like the way things are going it is our
inherent right to choose again!
Stand firm with me today and say "Once and for all." Use these words behind every affirmation that places you one step forward. TODAY - right now!!
The following words are from Rev. Angela. I was led to share as this week has been an incredible experience in the power of our souls.
Let's
end this week with a brief reminder about our daily experiences, the illusion
that is in truth nothing more than a mind game that is here to serve your soul.
An experience is merely a tool for the soul to gain knowledge. Now, let me say
that again: An experience is adding knowledge to your soul. It is not a
revelation. It is not knowing that you are a creative being. It is not saying,
"I am the reality of love." The purpose of all experience on Earth or
in other dimensions is to add knowledge to your soul.
As
you gain knowledge at a soul level, this spirit has more remembrance, more
awareness of its creative power. If you could create that experience, you would
have more knowledge to create more experiences, but that does not mean you
would have more awareness of your reality. The soul loves knowledge. The soul
loves expansion, and it expands with new knowledge constantly by experiencing.
For you see, as you experience, you are creating; and as you are
creating, you are experiencing. That is what experience is truly about.
Existence is expressing the creative process. Now when you are creating in
the ego system of illusion, you have experiences that you define, and you
define each experience by judging them as safe/not safe, good/bad, okay,
benign, reckless, careless, hateful, angry and so on.
By defining your
experiences, you are placing them in the illusion. This is only drama. Do not
get caught in the drama of your creations. A good movie, a great drama,
tells a great story from beginning to end. This is what experience is. It is
like a movie adding to the growth of the soul. Any experience
you choose will add color and dimension to your soul. What you need to
realize is that it is an experience; it is not the reality of who you
are. It is an experience, it is part of the soul's journey, and when you become
too involved in the drama of an experience, you may lose the reality
of your true identity. Be careful this week not to abandon your true self;
when you step away from the true self you are no longer in control and no
longer coming from your true power.
I want to thank each and every one for the time you have given to read these words. You are working on yourself on a subconscious level and for that I am grateful and honored to assist in the process. As we each see the world through our own "lens," lets be mindful that we are all entitled to our own opinion and perpective on any given situation, place or thing.
Now with that, can we also end this week with the power of non-judgment? Allow yourself and others the freedom to be who they are. Do not force solutions—allow solutions to spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is essential, and your path to freedom. My father transitioned home 3 weeks ago. I have been given one of the greatest tests that I have in this lifetime. I have been put into a position in which I have to stand up for what is right, say No instead of Yes to appease in order for peace to be for others which would have been at my expense; mentally, emotionally and physically. I am grateful for the lesson.
I will continue to move forward and practice non-judgment as everyone is doing the best they can will the tools they have in the toolbox. Practice this with me this weekend, dig deep to find the strength, courage and power to rise above the small stuff and see... Join me at the Aromatic Institute where you can find all of nature's gifts to assist you in your forward movement.
Every day of our lives can be sacred days. Every day we have the opportunity to open our eyes, connect with our soul, and experience the gift of life. When we're connected, we're not run by our fear, worry, and pain. Instead, we're in the present, certain that everything is as it should be and that we are where we need to be right now. Divinely connected, we know that new realities exist and that, ultimately, it is going to get better. When we're connected, we know that no matter what life hands us, we are protected and guided. This is a conscious practice that I make a choice to embrace daily. To know in my heart of hearts that it IS going to get better and I am protected and divinely guided is all I have some moments. And that is okay...
So it is my intention to offer this message as kindling for your soul. May it light the fire to have you passionately go after your faith. May it spark you to look for what's right about your life - to be hungry for it, and to know it's coming, even if you can't see it yet.
Think about it. Would you act differently if you knew you were blessed, if you knew God was watching over you and protecting you? What boundaries would you feel empowered to set? What requests would you make? What doors would you allow to open if you knew you were divinely held? And what would happen in your life if you were intentionally reaching up and pulling in your connection with the divine?
Transformational Action Steps
This weekend, look for the blessings. Keep your eyes open to new opportunities. If you know that they're there, you will surely find them. And give yourself a break this weekend from questioning, from not being sure, and from resignation and disappointment. Instead, make a holy demand on yourself to live your faith rather than your fear...and just watch what happens. I am walking these exact steps too. Stepping in to my power, my source, my divine world that was made just for me.
My dear Debbie Ford inspired these words and has been a guiding light and source for my strength in years, months, weeks and days past. If you have not delved into your shadow yet, I HIGHLY suggest that you watch the Shadow Effect and do the work OR read the Shadow Effect and do the work.
We at the Aromatic Institute have created the Power Up Kit that will effectively assist you in your journey of embraced, releasing and loving your shadow.
It has been a few weeks since my last post. I have had moments of clarity and fog and clarity and fog. I stepped back from my writings as I realized that my writings had slowly dissolved over the last 8 months. Something life altering happened on Dec. 27, 2010. I was left with a handful of broken promises, hopes and dreams, while my heart was scattered and shattered into a millions pieces. It was at that moment that I was no longer able to write with clarity. My words were jumbled with thick goo that would not allow for them to be cohesive and precise.
It was at that time that I started to receive messages from other Earth Angels who were lending me great comfort and insight as I slowly began to unravel the paradox of Pandora's box that I had allowed myself to be squeezed so tightly into. It was in the days, weeks and months that followed that I put all my faith into God that he had a divine plan that was better than I could ever imagine, that I realized I was sacrificing my gifts and my being to accommodate, that I am a beloved child of God who closes doors so that vast windows of greatness can open to those who believe.
The most important lesson to be learned in life is to distinguish things which really matter from those which matter least. The one who knows which really matter will never be deceived by illusion or by a human and will pursue the goals which will lead him to prosperity and to happiness itself. You see, I had fell into my humanness and allowed the illusion of smoke and mirrors to mask the truth and I stopped growing, evolving and ascending. Better yet, I was holding on so tightly to this illusion that I was stunting the growth of all players in the game of my life. So my friends, when God closed the door ever so gently, I had to let go of the handle that I had been gripping with all my might.
Much has fallen away, I have mulched much of the old into fresh compost where an incredible garden has blossomed. I have so much new life in my world, I am inspired daily by the grace of God that I am here on this earth in this now moment to serve as witness to the glory of change. I am happy, lucky, fortunate and blessed. I would not change one circumstance in my life as it has led me to the present, which is truly a gift and I am grateful. I am blessed to have aromatic therapy to assist in the transitions
I think we all experience moments where we may lose our way. I have certainly experienced such challenges that have caused me to lose sight of who I am. I have also been part of friends lives when they have needed gentle love and guidance to rediscover themselves. I firmly believe it is with thanks to love, our friends and their honesty that we are guided back to ourselves..Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself. I know that LOVE is all there is... to love and be loved for who we are, to give thanksgiving for our differences that makes us unique and to know that when you least expect it, your path will cross with those who will change you world forever. You must be awake... "Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing. You cannot have heaven and hell together, you can have only one. It is your choice." ~ Osho
I will end this post with one of my favorite poems by Rumi ... The Guest House
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ~
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.
Every circumstance in our reality exists because we chose to accept or decline a gift. Now the word ‘gift’ has to be considered in the right context because in this instance, it means learning, growth and healing experiences, which are gifts because they are opportunities for us to resolve and release misaligned energies, karma, trauma and soul wounds. They do not always appear in our lives as things that make us feel good, bring us joy and inspire warm and fuzzy feelings. Some gifts challenge our core beliefs and power; others are an opportunity to confirm whether we have learned a lesson. But in every situation, no matter what it is, we always have a choice to accept or decline.
That makes our journey appear to be so easy since all we have to do is say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to every situation that appears before us. With ‘yes’ we accept and we get what we want and with ‘no’ we are clearly indicating that we are on our spiritual path and know what we do not want to step into. Or do we? While that part is a little murky, what is absolute is that there are no ‘maybes’ on our soul journey, even if we are not sure of what we want. So why do we approach many lessons with so much doubt and confusion if we know that the answer will always be a simple ‘yes’ or no’?
Because we add elements to our ‘yes’ or ‘no’ that turn them into long, drawn out exercises in decision making, and an ‘accept’ answer does not always mean that w are in agreement. Whatever we decline doesn’t always indicate that we don’t want something. Interwoven within our answers are expectations, desires, needs, wants, and a silent hope that no matter what we choose, the Universe will make up the difference if our choice is not powerful and will create the best outcome on our behalf. Within every choice to accept or decline there are expectations, manipulations, desired outcomes and a certain amount of fear.
Every choice to accept or decline puts us on a different path. Where will this path lead us, how will we do with the lessons and what the outcome will be are all up to us. We think that accepting means yes and declining means no but sometimes it’s the other way around. We can also decline to mean yes and accept to mean no. And if we are making that choice unconsciously we are still committing just as strongly to it as if we were fully aware and confident. Every answer is an acceptance of the path that accompanies it so even if we decline we are not necessarily ‘off the hook’, we are just not going to be on the path that a ‘yes’ answer, or accepting, would have created for us.
Are you confused yet? It’s complicated but not that difficult because there is a way to determine which is the best, most fulfilling and highest choice and that is to pause, consider and be aware that we always have a choice, no choice is better than any other choice and all choices lead us to a specific path, that is right and best for us because if it wasn’t, we would choose something else.
When and what should we accept? Any situation that we feel is in our highest good. How do we decide that? By checking in with ourselves and asking some simple questions:
Is this the best choice for me at this time?
What am I learning from this situation and what are my options?
Do I really want to do this?
What am I committing to?
What do I gain from this and what do I lose?
What else is possible for me?
The last question is probably the most important one because we believe that whatever we are faced with is our only option, but it isn’t. We are limitless beings living in a limitless Universe so while we may see only one choice, there are many others we are totally unaware of. So by asking what else is possible, we are pausing just long enough to consider that there may be a different choice for us that we have not yet considered that may be more fulfilling, lead to more joy, be more aligned with what we will become once we allow our energies to expand into higher levels, which is part of what each choice offers us.
Are we willing to take that risk and become a higher version of ourselves, even if we have no idea what that means? That is what each choice leads us to, whether we are willing to step into our own greatness, divinity, highest aspects and expand our energies to include the fullness of our potential in our reality. No choice can be right or wrong, good or bad because we will chose whatever is possible for us in each moment.
What we should remember is that any choice can be changed at any time. We determine that by the outcome, which we know once we have made the choice (this is where we step into doubt, confusion and indecision because we want to know the outcome of the choice before we choose, so we know we made the ‘right’ decision. Yet that be known only after the choice has been made, which is why we are more afraid to decline than to accept, even if declining is our more powerful option.
There’s only one way to find out and that is to make the accept or decline choice with confidence, pausing to ask questions and trusting that with the outcome we will know whether we made a choice that will expand our world or limit it and then we can decline that option and accept another one.
Every lesson is part of our journey of spiritual growth and understanding which we select through our choices. Each choice has its own path and outcome and what we 'accept' or 'decline' highlights a single path and its potential outcomes. As we 'accept' one lesson we automatically decline others because they are not available to us while we're in this lesson. This is an 'all or nothing' choice too, because we cannot say 'yes' to part of a lesson and 'no' to other parts. But, we can change our mind at any time when we are ready to stop and take another path to our healing.
We may regret the path not taken but all other options are unavailable until we gain the level of spiritual understanding that is necessary to know and connect to something else. That said, when we are ready for something new all of the paths we have previously declined become available to us at new and higher levels of vibration. What we can choose from, at any moment, though, is what resonates with us. One important note here: we have no way of knowing all of the lessons included in what we decline so whatever we are guided to decline may be in our highest good over the long term. That's why regret is not the best use of our energy.
But, as soon as we understand the lesson and its healing purpose we no longer have to follow that path and are ready to make new choices. Although we think that we have to see something through to our anticipated or expected outcome, all we have to do is realize that there are other potential choices for our life. There is no divinely mandated end to any situation because we have to decide when a lesson is finished. We choose the end, just as we choose the beginning. And when we realize that a lesson is over, it has achieved its purpose in our life.
Each path contains learning that we need to experience, or we would not choose that path. There are no accidental choices, each thing we are attracted to has an energetic connection with us which corresponds an area of healing. The stronger the attraction the more important and powerful the lesson and healing. We accept what our soul needs to heal and decline what we are not yet ready for or what we have not yet learned enough to be able to experience. And then we repeat that process countless times during the course of our many lifetimes as we continue through the spiral of learning, healing, growth and transformation that is our ascension path.
Join me at the Aromatic Institute as we continue to assist humanity through plant botanicals via Aroma Pharmica. Have a most glorious day!
