Irish Weather - Elemental Forces At Work

Let’s talk about this weather! 

Here we are in the 5th or 6th week of some wild winter weather like we’ve never seen before in living memory….or perhaps it’s that fabled winter of discontent, or the long night of the soul?

So, this is where we find ourselves, at the mercy of the weather, that great ‘starter of conversations’ the world over and something we have learned to moan about, at least in these northern regions where rain, hail, sleet and wind bring down our moods as the wet stuff hits the ground.

But, when we really stop and ponder these deeper aspects of what this might achieve for those of us living here, well, that is something else entirely. Perhaps it’s even akin to a little bit of wonderful.

I know, you are already thinking, there has been nothing wonderful about weeks of darkness, damaging winds, flooding and damp….unless you are safely on higher ground, have your house tethered to the earth like a ship with an anchor and have ancestral leanings towards the mallard family.

However, when I go to sleep at night with the rain pelting, thrumming and roaring on the roof, the wind buffeting the windows, well okay, the windows bowing in and flexing and then wake up the next morning not to a refreshed earth with the sun streaming down after the storm….

No! This winter we’ve been waking up to the exact same clamour, clatter and deafening noise of the elements let loose on the earth as when we went to bed, if anything, it might have only ramped up during the hours of darkness.

So, this begs the question; what’s this all about anyway? What is the purpose of rain, wind, and an excess of churning changing massive force of nature bearing down on us for all it’s worth?

What if something was trying to get through to us? And we are too busy, fearful, asleep, worried and just plain too thick to listen….what might all of these Universal forces being pulled down around us be trying to convey?

What if they needed us to know something along the lines of the importance of our future here on this planet. What if life itself was carried in those winds, star dust and energies from far and wide arriving, implanting and once again taking up permanent residence where once before, long ago they thrived.

I mean, imagine how important this time in history must be – the earth herself is waking up and the only way she can do that is with a nudge and a shake to stir her from her slumber….

Well then, it’s a good time to be alive, isn’t it? 

One With Living Energy.....

What a crazy and wonderful world we live in and there are days when it is both of these things at the same time. Today was such a day, the energy of life has been building steadily while we move towards higher consciousness.

I mention ‘life’ here because the one (higher consciousness) can not exist without the other…you will not become ‘awakened’ with an unconscious gut or anything else for that matter.

Of course, parts of you will begin the process of lifting higher – however this process will stall if the physical component of it is not working along with all other aspects of our humanity.

In other words – if one part of us is to move upwards into higher realms of reality, then all of us must do so. This is an ‘all or nothing deal’! I remember being told this from my intuition years ago – no stone will be left unturned once our bodies decide to wake up.

And everything we do – our work, our thoughts, the food we eat and the company we keep – will either support this process, slow down this process or stop us cold where we stand.

For some of us, walking this journey is the most important thing that we might ever do here on this planet. Throughout our lives and the duration of it, we learn, grow into and become the people we are meant to be.

Fulfilling our unique destinies while we align with our purpose and recover our souls.

But even more than that, we experience what it means to love and be loved – by none other then the ultimate mother herself….the earth, Mother Nature or Gaia. She supports us, nurtures us and gently leads us into full consciousness.

To be awake or aware, enlightened and experiencing higher consciousness is to be one with her energy on this living rock. And it will be quite a trip, I am sure!

She Is Back And Things Will Change...

I have entered the final stretch of my cleanse and am plodding forward – onwards and upwards as they say. This one hasn’t been as long as I have done in the past, however the depth it has taken me is amazing.

And it’s not over yet.

Once again I am looking forward to the few days post cleanse – when the results and energy shifting takes place and things really start to settle into their new energy patterns. This is one of the greatest rewards of doing a detox – you get to watch as your life changes…..

Sort of right in front of your eyes.

This world we live in appears to be in a bit of turmoil at the moment – or perhaps this chaos has not ever ended and has been an on-going thing. It’s a bit of a continuum along a very long path humanity has walked.

Out of this disorder often comes the space for the deepest and greatest change. When I think of earthquakes or tornados and other natural phenomenon – the earth has an agenda of her own and we need to get out of her way as best we can.

Perhaps this is taking place once again…I certainly am aware of an energy rising up – it’s always been there. However, not as present as it is right now – nor as strong as it is now and getting stronger.

I just have a feeling it is the presence of the Divine Feminine or Mother Earth or Gaia or whatever we choose to call her. She is back and things will change.

Standing in Your Own Power

We are truly nearing the end of this feast season and it feels as if the year itself is winding down - it certainly does seem to be going out with a bit of a bang so far. Storms and extreme weather coinciding with special dates on the calendar ..... hmmm. Interesting.

Perhaps at the end of the day it is no accident that such a huge storm system (an energy changer for sure) rolls into the world when ever things are being shaken up and altered. The earth does ultimately work alongside us and is obvious to those who care to pay attention.

To think that this living organism we reside on is but a passive observer to all the happenings for good or ill - would be such a waste of a connection. Of course she is involved, perhaps even far more than we realize.

Today in the aftermath of natures' forces, at the very least we are humbled while many are pulling together to get lives back to normal. Or, is that even be the option here? Normal life. What does that mean exactly?

Perhaps if this means living in such a manner that when a storm comes rolling in and slams into us - we cannot cope with heat, light, food and basic needs because of the circumstances we have placed ourselves into.

By this I mean - a number of years ago my intuition told me to get out of living in a town or city. Move to the country, work at raising my own food, have a well, a separate heat source and in general live sustainably. Off the food grid as much as possible. 

We have taken years building ourselves up to this as far as skill learning, obtaining tools, livestock, education and developing our own methods and ideas. For the most part, a lifestyle such as this is driven by a desire to be healthy. Of course, there are other advantages.

These storms will come - are they more ferocious and extreme at this time? Perhaps. However, no matter what you believe, life might become increasingly difficult for many who are left high and dry without the means to heat their houses or to get clean water because of this weather. 

Basics such as these are a must - and perhaps we must do far more for ourselves in this regard. When you find yourself in a position of not needing to out source infrastructure because you have developed your own - you are standing in your own power. 

It's a great place to be!

Now on Day 3 of Master Cleanse.. Issues of Spiritual Safety

This master cleanse is turning out to be a little different, so far there are less physical symptoms and far more emotional, spiritual and energetic symptoms. Perhaps it has to do with the depth of cleanse at this stage or just that this particular patch of ground that I am now entering has scars that are deeply seared into my soul.

I don't quite know how else to describe it - all that is coming up right now is about one single past era that I had as a Beothuk Indian - perhaps this is much more a part of me because this is still in my present DNA, but also because I spent so many lifetimes in that location? Having grown up in Newfoundland and relived these memories time and again throughout my early life, was not helping to close any wounds. 

But, I think that perhaps now, I might begin to get to the bottom of it all and at least start to purge out the fear, toxins and negativity that I have carried for so long. I know that this impedes everything in my life at this moment. The one thing that holds me back, is what if it happens again?

Perhaps this is the main fear for so many of us - what if we allow our spirituality to flourish, develop and grow, to go out there in the world and be exactly who we are and it (persecution, witch hunt, murder and death) takes place all over again?

Over the years I have come to realize time and again, how the biggest issue facing those of us walking the spiritual journey is one of safety. 

I remember being hunted down through the woods in Newfoundland, pursued and then shot before I was taken hostage (sent to work in someone's house as a maid for the rest of my life). I remember how many of us were killed in a short space of time - because we were deemed 'savages' by those with the guns.

This soullessness has prevailed throughout the ages - of course the only ones seeking to kill and destroy an entire race of people (this happens the world over) are those who hunt what they do not have. Harvesting souls has been big business for these religions for far too long and of course it still goes on each and every day under everyone's nose.

In my dreams these past two nights - the first one was of a woman waking up or coming back from having been in some form of deep shock.  Then last night a very familiar dream for me (or perhaps a memory) was of being pursued and then shot in the shoulder. In my dream I could see the bullet, it was old and large, like a big piece of lead.

Even with all of these things moving, coming up and being processed in a (hopefully) better way, there is still much good. I also dreamed of Gaia or the great mother last night - that was my first dream - she took me on a journey, together with hundreds or thousands of other women, moving over time or space (floating, walking, running) until we ended up at a tree that looked like nothing I have ever seen here on earth. 

She has been teaching me about spiritual safety, as she guides me home through the history of my life
