Life Happens in it's Own Time


Taking stock of where we are at every now and then is something I do regularly… and lately it seems as if things are changing almost daily…so that’s a lot of pondering! LOL

I’ve spent a lot of time in my life planting, starting, beginning – and now I am in a place where things are finally growing. In the directions I want them to. And this is a very interesting process to be witnessing.

Re-growing your gut is a process that involves allowing lots of time and space for things to grow those deep anchoring roots. That’s one part of it…it also means stripping back to basics all the junk that went before.

And that is the difficult part for many people.

In my own experience, there is not one thing my body, mind and soul is incapable of doing. However, I have to want these changes and deep healing to take place bad enough, to see it through to the end.

Many times before I have watched people give up on themselves and I myself have walked away before things had run their natural course....but, if life has taught me anything - it is to wait it out. See what's around that next bend.

I have watched my body heal itself over the years from the top down and the inside out – and I am only just getting started. Even after all this time. Our body really does re-build and replenish completely during and 8 to 10 year lifecycle…

That for me, appears to be about right for healing and repair to take place right down to the DNA and cellular level. During this (and any) healing process it is vital to see things through to completion.

I don’t know about you – but I’ve got the rest of my life to live on this planet….so it’s been worth taking this past decade to create a healthy body, mind and spirit…because now I have even more time here living in good health. 

Life happens in it's own time.... Let your life be true to you

Pure Magical Alignment - It's About Time


I am now on day 8 of my detox and steadily marching towards my goals. I always keep myself busy during these days of fasting and this week has been no different. Right now I feels as if I have quite a few ‘projects’ on the go!

To keep ourselves busy is a blessing for the most part. But, being busy with a purpose is something altogether different again. I know so many people who keep going while doing absolutely nothing worthwhile.

I used to be there at one time. Then I gave up television, radio and most newspapers and stopped wasting my time with those useless noise machines. However, come to think of it, I probably stopped wasting my mind more then anything else.

Ever since (it’s been a long time) I seem to have time for everything I want to accomplish. No matter what I set out to do (unless it is part of an energy block) I certainly have time to do it or can find the time....

And what is more I can 'make' the time. If time is energy, our bodies generate our own energy from deep inside our cells, in the same way any other type of energy is created.

Our time then becomes unique to us – like a signature all our own and to be used for our own pursuits – following our dreams and passions is always best. Because, this is when a pure magical alignment takes place.

And the only way for it to play out within our lives in a productive manner is to have control of our time – to not let it be taken away from us or wasted.

When I think of each of the many ways we are encouraged to fritter away our time – well, it’s no wonder we feel drained and unwell. An energy source is being sucked out of our bodies and used by something or someone else.

It’s ‘time’ to take back our lives.

A Time Change or An Enforced Energy Shift....


Today is a fasting day – that’s a day to do some catching up on cleaning inside and outside. And so far it is going well. I was ready to get back into some day on/day off fasting after my 30 day parasite cleanse…which was tough enough!

The sun is also shining again for the second day in a row…this must be a record at the moment, but there is not a rain cloud in sight. I don’t even want to say it too loud, I might jinx it or something weird like that.

Either way, there is actual heat in the sun as well. It felt so nice to sit in a sheltered area yesterday and just soak up some rays after doing some gardening. It is not warm enough to go without a coat yet but hopefully that day is coming soon.

I remember as a child actually having the sense that summer would never come – the time and days (winter) seemed such a long time. Well, as an adult, time has always appeared to pass quite quickly…

Except this year. Right now – summer never seems as it is will arrive. The cold weather feels like it is here to stay and time is not dragging on, but it sure feels as if it’s dimensions have changed somewhat. I am just so much more aware of the time....

Perhaps time, as we know it, has changed – I mean the time went forward over the weekend. But what might that do to us on the inside? It’s a strange concept after all – if time goes forward outside, well then, it must also do this inside.

And what affect would that have on our internal body clocks? Are we banking the daylight or is someone else taking advantage of the extra light on our systems? Does this have a positive overall influence on our energy?

And what exactly does this mean for us….Hmmm. Time is such an interesting energy force on it’s own, when we alter or manipulate it, our energetic selves are also being changed.

Sort of like an enforced energy shift….I’m not so sure I like the sound of that! LOL And all of this deep thought from an ordinary fasting day.

Flipping the Switch on Bad Food Habits

It's day 16 of my detox and as usual things are moving right along - it hardly even seems to be much of an effort this time around, mostly because we are still talking about and thinking about how much fun and food we all had at Christmas. 

It's funny how I would at one time, have had such a difficult time making the transition from a celebration (feast time) back to normal eating. It was as if there was something inside of me that got a taste for the excess food, a switch was turned on and that was it.

It would have taken a lot of will power for me to reign in and control my eating habits once again. Eventually I would just end up angry and disappointed with myself - which would ensure the whole negative cycle kept on going.

Once I brought fasting into the picture that all changed. Mostly because fasting taught me the discipline that was missing - which is so funny as I am already a very disciplined person. But when it came to food, some other entity was clearly in control...

Which I know as candida, yeast, mold, fungus, nasty bacteria and what ever had ended up running the show in my gut. 

So, this is where I am at this morning. Feeling overall pretty good - doing some reminiscing about those days and feeling happy they are well behind me. Yesterday I spent the day looking at how I spend my time - when thinking about food/diet/yeast came up I realised I spent all of my time....

Thinking about food, eating, planning food, eating, worrying and stressing about food - and then the rest of the time feeling terrible, guilty, awful and what not for what I had eaten. What a complete waste of good time! LOL

It is a cycle - of course an unbalanced gut and hormonal system are setting the stage for this to play out - which started in the first instance with the presence of yeast, mold and fungus in places they should not be.

All of that can change for anyone with exercise, healthy diet and fasting. What a difference I feel inside and outside in my life. It takes time, patience and persistence to gently reverse and overcome (there's that key word) lifelong deep rooted dysfunction.

But, it's worth the effort because what you get back is your life.

It's About Time.....

It's the right month and a great day for setting up new routines...so it seems. And perhaps breaking through more than a few little habits we all tend to fall into when our time is more or less our own. Or is it....I just happened to see a tweet on Twitter mentioning 'time is money'.

And of course, it got me thinking about this fact. Time has not really been our own -has it? I mean, look at the amount we waste listening to other people talk on radios, televisions, reading nonsense in magazines, papers and even books.

Or how about the time spent worrying? That's a big one, isn't it....What about the time spent arguing, pushing others into doing something that doesn't come naturally. I can't help but think back to hurrying my then little boy into eating his breakfast (very slow eater) so we could drop him off at creche...

Of course, then I stopped all of that and now my time is supposedly my own. Yet, I still find that I waste so much of it. And that doesn't mean I want to be productive, regimented or scheduled every hour of the day...

It just means I can see how my time could be better spent. So, starting today I thought I would get up 15 minutes earlier then usual - just to see what might be accomplished so I can have more time to play, have fun and not feel I have to be pressed for time.

I would like to do more of the things I have long felt I don't have the time for.

As of right now, I think it is working - well, at least my mind is moving a little bit faster and the sun is shining. So that is always a great place to start! LOL 

I am going to push myself a little bit each morning just to see if my day runs smoother, I accomplish more and generally feel as if I am more in control of my own time. Because, if there is one thing I am certain of - our time has been commandeered, stolen, taken and wasted - not always by us, but by a cleverly designed system to keep us circling around our goals.

It's about TIME......

Quantum Energy - Being in the Right Place at the Right Time....

Things are certainly different this year - already! It's only a few days into 2013 and the energy just feels, tastes and looks like nothing we have ever seen before. One of the best things I like about this newness is the sense that life has all just come together somehow...

Even if it doesn't look like it at the moment, if you have been working steadily towards some bigger goals and have put the groundwork into it, this is the kind of energy that you would want to have by your side.

So far this year, the earth is swirling with solidifying energy - I think it might be referred to as Quantum by those who rarely know what they are talking about when it comes to anything important. You cannot dream, wish, hope or plan to create anything in life, without bringing in quantum energy.

I would see this type of energy as the matrix for all other energy - one cannot exist without the others, but nothing can take form or shape without the background or foundation of waves containing quantum energy. This energy forms the basis of life and life is all about change.

It's a continuum ensuring our existence on this plane and now that we have regained accessed to this 20th dimension (that is older then time, by the way), we find ourselves confronted with a growing layer of different types of energy.

All of this is good - we are right where we need to be and if we continue along these same paths, listening to our hearts, detoxing our bodies and generally uplifting our minds, we will find our dreams, hopes, wishes and desires firmly embedded within that matrix of all living things.

This year holds a lot of promise. Within and without - now is not the time to take it easy or to abandon your own goals. Now is precisely the right time to be more determined then ever before....

It's time to move forward - are you coming with me?

Time is an Energy Form

Today the energy around me has settled a little bit more - perhaps because I am starting my next Master Cleanse tomorrow! Can't believe it is here already - seems like it has been both a long time and no time at all since we did our last one. 

Time has gone so quickly this year - it's such a unique form of energy entirely made up of patterns which form within our energy fields. When this time (or the time of the planet) is altered, changed and manipulated in any way this can cause certain problems within our electromagnetic force field.

Of course this entire century so far has had many of us focused on dates and time of one sort or another. First we came into this century with baited breath - wondering if all of computerdom was going to crash.

Then it was 9/11. A date no one will soon forget, at least for those of us who were old enough to remember that day.

Ever since then we have had a series of firsts in a final countdown of time for the ending of an age- each year has seen something unique such as the dates lining up this year will be the final numerical arrangement with 12/12/12.

Numbers are wonderful triggers for our subconscious. They show us all sort of things about ourselves and of course help collective humanity usher in something new.

Can't wait to see what comes next for us all, I have a feeling it is something very good!

Because, It Is Time

Today is the much anticipated day of the only Blue Moon this year, we won't actually have another one until (there are several definitions) 2015 or even next year when there are 4 full moons in one season. However way we want to look at it - this is a special day.

Important enough for me to plan my entire last 4 months around it - as a final destination so to speak. I had committed to doing four Master Cleanses in the four months leading up to this particular day in time. That to me means two things - this day is important (I have even dreamed of it as a graduation) and time is something special.

Of course, a lot can and has been said about time, with some people stating it doesn't even exist, however, I have lived long enough and been thinking about and working with these concepts long enough to know time is an energy force. It is a commodity, which in our current world is bought and sold.

And wasted. Interesting how something such as time, an unseen, seemingly immovable force, can be traded in the same way as any other form of currency. As an intuitive, I find it both fascinating and deplorable to read of governments and religions 'changing' or manipulating time (look it up). However that is for another post.

When I think of time, for instance, the time it has taken to complete these cleanses - this signifies energy output, as well as physically reversing the affects of time on the body by removing some of the most toxic substances from tissues and cells.

Then we can look at time as a track over which we can move, travel or transport ourselves, thoughts and emotions. I see it as a mobius strip in a continuous loop, with layers, dimensions and elements unique to it's function.

In this fashion (like a sideways 8) we are always on the time line, with our lives looping over and around again and again. We certainly do not get only one shot at living these lives we are in, indeed we have been here before, and for many of us, before that as well. 

When looked at in even this little detail, time can be seen for what it is - an element of your own energy field, a force generated within your cells, part of your energetic signature on this earth. Your time should be your own, however it is being taken, wasted, stolen and otherwise accessed in the same manner as other energy.

The term 'since time began' implies it was the original force, it was here first and has risen up out of our ancient beginnings. Your time is precious, it belongs to you as does all energy generated deep within your body. 

Of course, time exists, it's in us all, an unprecedented healer without comparison. Safeguard your heart and your time.

Have a healthy day,

April

Back On Track...

Recently I have made some significant changes to my life and plans, of course this all comes about, or at least gets put into the proper perspective during a Master Cleanse. There is something about emptying out the body for 10 days that provides absolute clarity on a matter!

Some of these changes were long overdue - however, with any change, it requires of us trust and inner belief in the power of our dreams. For most of my life I have been following my dreams - and they are what has kept me going when times are tough. 

My July cleanse was a reminder that part of my life was not aligning with my dreams as well as I might be doing - so this has now been taken to task and I am fully immersed in my dream world here. You might remember when I started out with that last 10 day detox, my only goal was to remove obstacles and blocks to these wishes and desires that I have carried around for so very long.

Of course, the first step is to recognize where you are stuck and then you must take action (immediate is best) otherwise you may find yourself in a deeper hole and certainly feeling miserable about where you are. Or to be more succinct, a feeling of loss, suffering and sadness about where you are not. 

So, now it is August and to be honest with you, this is the month that I have been waiting for all year - usually a time of intense energy and change for me and often for most of us (look at your own life and check it out) an end of a cycle of time. I have found it far easier to work with these phases, cycles and seasons then to fight them, which is what we mostly do in our artificial life.

This past year has been dramatic in its upheaval as well as delightful with all of the good that has come our way - and as we stand here for another August (harvest) we are healthy, happy and grounded in a new reality - of course it centers around food and continuing to follow through on these plans and dreams of ours.

If you are still feeling blocked or stuck in any way - do a Master Cleanse, get going with living, really living as if you mean it - and want to be here. Make the most of each and every situation around you and whatever you do, 

DON'T DRINK THE TAP WATER!

Have a lovely day!
