Change Is In the Air....

It’s been a great summer and I don’t want it to end….perhaps because I am still trying to get caught up with the weeding LOL. So, now is the time to be finishing up those loose ends and mucking out the summer stuff…

The one word that stands out to me here is END. In lots of ways when September arrives – this signals change – some kids go back to homeschool and lessons and the seasons shift into shorter days.

These day lengths are very important to those of us walking the spiritual path for many reasons the least of which is our top up of vitamin D that keeps up healthy throughout these coming cooler (and darker) months.

So….why might I be mentioning vitamin D, light and changing seasons to those who are seeking spiritual endeavours, you might be wondering…well, travelling these roads and staying healthy has long been associated with immune system function.

There are perils and pitfalls nearly everywhere, but none as dangerous and significant as those of a spiritual nature. I have often heard it said how there is no disease but only ‘dysfunction of the spirit’ and I tend to agree.

Our physical body, spiritual essence, energetic and emotional selves are not kept separate from one another. These are integral pieces of a whole being – where if one aspect is pulled down, the entire organism suffers as a result.

One of the things I am planning to do during these last few warmish days of late summer is to exercise, get outside as much as possible, drink my herbal remedies on my fast days and to continue to enjoy the summer harvest that is emerging from the weeds…..

I am also shifting my thinking into ways and means to continue to boost my immune system over the coming darker months….perhaps I will make up a new remedy (smile).

On My Way Home...The Spiritual Journey!

Today is the first day of my first detox (water/juice fasting) for 2013 and it feels good to be back in the groove again - removing yet another layer of energy, toxins and built up debris that doesn't belong to me and has no positive place in my life.

So, this month will be most interesting to say the very least! I have done many of these over the years and none more then during the last year - it was a record of sorts for us - because we did 8 detoxes consecutively and re-gained more of ourselves then ever before.

This year will be no different - I have long said I will keep going, carry on until I am exactly where I want to be. And for me that would mean arriving home. It's quite funny how many stories, books, movies and what have you are told about the proverbial journey home.

And each of them relevant, interesting, containing useful anecdotes of life along the way. Of course  walking the path or the spiritual journey is something very specific, which we have been actively 'on' for many years - and is the topic of each of my books.

Writing about my experiences helps me to understand what I am going through as well as serves as a record of the trip I am taking. I have often said, I never really know what I am feeling or thinking until I sit down and start to write - then it all comes flooding forth.

As a scribe I seem to experience this journey very deeply and many times am so grateful for my intuition otherwise I would feel very lost indeed. I have often thought that my mission is to record the path, to write about what you can expect, the various twists and turns you might encounter and to tell the stories of how I get round each corner...

And more importantly to provide information on how to protect yourself, heal your body, deal with your mind, regain your spirit, what changes to make and then, how to find your way out of the darkness or negativity we seem to be in.

If you are walking the spiritual path and need some place to start - I would recommend Closing the Energy Leaks© (Windows) it is a workbook and walks your through how the energy field works, how to heal your own and the reasons why. I wrote this book in the 90's and have been working within my own energy field ever since. (also available from me printed copy or pdf from Gumroad)

Be very particular about your energy, learn about how it works and relates to yourself - and start at the beginning....

Walking, Talking, Living Souls - On A Journey

It's a lovely morning here so far - the sun is shining and the day holds a lot of promise. Actually life holds a lot of promise, and it lasts far longer then a day. One of the things on my mind today is energy - future or what is yet to be formed.

These last few days I have been witnessing within myself and around me the fallout (or processing) phase of my last detox. This one has been quite powerful and very necessary to my journey. Of course, if you have been reading along, what was coming up for me on my cleanse was resistance, wickedness and evil.

My physical body has taken a beating and I am still here with this cold (it is now a sinus thing) which has me eating copious amounts of garlic and taking it easy (well, not really, but I keep thinking about having a nap!). The most interesting thing about all of this is - the dark energy that is rising up, has been there all along.

There is not one thing new. This clearing involves lifetimes of heavy yukky energy that must move up and out in order for me to change my vibration from where I am right now. I once read that Yoda said all that you will find in the dark is what you take in with you.

And I would have to agree. Years ago I used to be involved in space clearing (sort of like ghost hunting) and the one certainty with this type of work is that in any house or space the only energy needing to be cleared comes from (is embedded in the tissue matrix) the occupants or the owners of the place. 

It is not complicated or difficult to understand at all - if you can clear, detox, cleanse and otherwise remove negativity from within yourself (body, mind & soul) then it no longer has a hold on you. However, this takes considerably more work then just wishing, hoping or deciding to change your mind.

Although any of those are a good place to start. What must follow on from this is the actual physical clearing of your space and then most likely a deeper cleanse involving the soul. Ultimately all of the work we do is about the soul - indeed that is what we are....

Walking, talking, living souls - trying to get our lives back together as we find ourselves on this journey.

Solstice - Parting the Darkness

Well - we did it once again! This time 15 days of detox in the middle of wet, wild, winter - finishing just in time for our Solstice celebration. We are all so excited and have been thinking about this time for weeks...

I wonder if we have as an entire generation been pondering these upcoming days and this month of 12's for the first decade or so of this century. It is such an interesting time to be alive and of course one of great change upon the earth.

And not before it's time - we are well overdue for major change in every segment, level of dimension of our known (and unknown) reality. What has to shift and move for humanity first and foremost is this blanket of darkness that has been holding us down for such a long time.

This heavy or negative energy is the proverbial evil, wickedness and anything else that fits into this category that is being shuffled back and forth between civilized 'humanity'. It is this dark side of energy that has stuck into our energy fields, causing disease, dysfunction and poverty - and ultimately death of the spirit. 

This is the ultimate goal of anyone walking a spiritual path to find, purge and overcome evil or wickedness within ourselves. It will and does affect us, it clouds our circumstances and wreaks havoc with our dreams - and causes us to lose hope.

Sixteen days ago, I went into this detox with one intention - to get Solstice/Yule/Christmas back - fully in my life with all the traditions that are important to me and my family. The reason I wanted it back was because I have long felt it has been hijacked and interfered with over the years.

Right now it will be interesting to see how these next few days, post cleanse play out - I often say it after each of these detoxes, the real work begins once the days of cleansing are over. So over the coming week I will begin to witness evidence of the work of my body.

This is the miracle of life -  to feel the hope and brightness of the season rise once again deep within my cells - Solstice

All This...Just to Discover Who I Am?

Today is my last food day - I start my August Master Cleanse tomorrow and I must say, I can't wait! I am happy to be doing it (I have come to love follow through as much as fasting) and I am equally pleased that once again I will complete exactly what I set out to do.

Four MC in four months - and to be perfectly honest, it has not been difficult at all. Quite the opposite in fact, that is not to say that any of this work is easy, because it certainly does have it's moments. However, when looking at how I used to live, how things were for us all and the endlessness of walking this path with seemingly not much taking place.

Well, this is far better!

I talk about this in my books, and will mention it again here. Our purpose, destiny, reason for living and even being on this planet in the first place is extremely important and vital information for us to know. However, as this is a personal message written for our eyes only deep within our DNA, there are locks, controls and a special decoder ring to even get in the door to that place.

As a medical intuitive this is a question that I get asked a lot - please tell me what my purpose is so that I can mull it over or take action on it. Perhaps that would be a good thing to know, but I don't think that it is anyone else's place to inform you of what you are here to do - mostly because it is a message between you and your soul.

Another good reason to not have these details revealed too early on in the game is because for the most part we are walking this path alone, in the dark, along an unlit trail, meeting few fellow travelers where much danger abounds.

Or, in other words it is simply not safe for us to have all of the details before the party begins. Perhaps we first need to show up for the party! Then we get to see how things are going to play out once we are in the door.

Living this way and following The Pagan Diet - Food, Fast and Feast has changed the way I walk my path, the pace has picked up and for the first time in 20 years, I feel as if I have some level of control over things.

When I want to create change in my life I do a cleanse, each fast/food/feast day brings with it new levels of awakening, learning and reaching more deeply into my own body to find the answers to each question that I ask.

And to be honest, I would have said to you years ago that I trusted my body (especially after healing cancer and having my daughter at home in a Free Birth) but, now, that trust has been taken to even higher levels and is being transformed into faith and belief in who I am and why I am here.

So, here I go, ready to do another Master Cleanse - my focus this time around is to launch or take off in some positive way - just me and all of these dreams that I have carried for so long.

Have a lovely day,

April
