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!

Bealtaine - Harmonic Convergence of Earth Energy


Some days are just better spent quietly – perhaps taking the time out we need on a regular basis to just process through this life and times we are in, can be a gift we give ourselves.

I don’t know about you, but it usually takes me a day or so to think through events and happenings. And even when there is seemingly nothing unusual taking place, there are still those mornings when I wake up and ask…

What just happened?

Today has been such a day as this. I am taking some time to reflect on recent goings-on and quietly working through some of the undercurrents of activity. I find if I don’t do this whenever possible, things will just back up and I am forced to take time out…

Not that there is an over abundance of events or that anything is ‘out of control’ in my life…it’s just that I do like to keep in touch with who I am right now, where I am heading and perhaps to stop and dig up the flowers along the way!

One thing I have noticed about myself (again and again) is how I will have something in my mind to do…such as this week to go for a walk in the local wood. And do you think I have done it?

NO….well because there is always some other distraction. Someone wants to go somewhere else, there are other things to be done and you know the rest. The list is endless.

Instead I put it off and then put it off some more. Until the season has passed and I don’t allow myself my time out – into a space that is beckoning me to come and step on the forest floor, feel the energy of it’s life and perhaps be gifted with something wonderful….

So….no more of that! If and when something is on our minds to do, we should just find a way, make the time and take ourselves to where ever it is that is resonating with us.

It has something to do with a type of harmonic convergence – only it occurs in the singular….getting out there to connect with earth energy is like magic – we need to do much more of it.

And be fully conscious of why we are here.

Happy Bealtaine – may Brigid’s Fire Light Your Way….

It has always been NOW, but never more NOW, then now....



Today has been another wonderful day of sunshine!! Love this weather – it’s still not that warm however, but oh well, at least I can see the sun in the sky and that means a lot after (how many years has it been???) and no, it’s not even funny anymore…

So, that’s the weather sorted. It will be a glorious summer with heat and sunshine for all. Well, at least for those who want it. If someone wants rain – they are welcome to it, we can send all rain your way for the next few months.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it was actually that easy to shift the weather around the planet to wherever it is needed….imagine! How balanced and restorative that would be for the earth, not to mention those of us who live here.

There would still be seasons – cold, wet, dry, dark and light – just in the appropriate amounts. But, the world and her peoples would finally be working together in a harmonic wave of higher consciousness.

Of course, this is exactly what is coming our way. If the weather is changing (and it is), if the earth is gearing up for upheaval (and it is) if people are sensing something new on the horizon (and they are) it’s only because it is about time.

This time we are living in, right now (it has always been now, but never more NOW then now, if you know what I mean) this is IT. This is the time we have been waiting for, the time that has been talked about, written about and worried over.

The change is well upon us – and so many of us are blessed to be here, to bear witness to this shift in our reality and to be a part of something greater then ourselves (yet, it lives within and IS who we are).

If you have been sitting on a fence, waiting for things to change in your life, hoping and wishing things might be different or better… Well, now is the time to stand up, get on one side or the other and start moving.

There is no time like NOW.

Conscious Living - Getting My Inspiration Back


Day two of my water fast and moving right along here…salt water flush this morning –  but everyone is grumpy today. Usually it takes the first two or three days to adjust into detox mode, and I think that is what we are all doing.

Shifting into detox mode is always the toughest part of any cleanse, it’s as if our bodies need to gear down in some way. That is one aspect of it, then there is our mind, the biggest part of anything we do involves the mind.

Once our mind is on board with something (could be anything from a detox to an essay) then that’s the most difficult part, done. Right now I am feeling so much of a 'pull' back into some dark place inside of my mind and I know exactly what it is.

It feels like old medication – one connection I never made until I was older was how much any form of chemical substance affects our minds. I don’t know about you, but no one ever mentioned this to me when I was a child being given antibiotics.

Did they even know or want to know? Perhaps not…..

However, it is certainly very real and worrisome. Mostly because it is not as acknowledged as it should be - by those pushing these drugs in the first place. These chemical medicines, which are taken all over the world every second of every day by people of all ages – affect our minds in a negative way.

For me I have seen myself and others lose interest in interacting or socializing. I have also known people to lose interest in things they previously loved as well as to start thinking negative or dark thoughts about their daily lives.

All of this can happen (and more) after an encounter with antibiotics. The words I would use to describe how a person might react to having the best bacteria in their guts (and on their skin) die off would be – to feel uninspired.

These days we are working away here on growing back a healthy population of gut bacteria (doubtful we ever had one to begin with) as well as our inspiration, while we detox more and more of any toxic residue left in our bodies from these early years and use of medication.

I can certainly say that in my own personal experience – the after effects of taking medications have been life-long. Until I physically cleansed, detoxed and cleared body tissues, then started methodically re-building my digestive tract – life had not come back.

This is a process and is very much part of walking the spiritual path we are on. You cannot ‘wake up’ and ‘live’ in higher levels of consciousness with parts of you dead or dying. And this means all of you – gut, tissues, organs,  cells, DNA, bacteria and anything in between.

Life and consciousness doesn’t work that way.

Raising Your Vibration - One Cell at a Time


This has been a strange couple of days – not really feeling much like myself, but have been too busy to stop and have a think about exactly what is happening. Right now I am making myself take the time to tune in and get my feet back on the ground....

I love any feast or celebration – this week we have had a couple of them which means I have been baking and cooking all week. But, in that work I have also been processing some pretty deep and dark energies - keeping busy is often the best way through it. 

For the most part, I have been really focused on getting my life back – inside and out. For me, this means, I have been paying careful attention to how this is taking place, especially in my gut. I have been working towards this end for quite some time and it is really great to feel more alive.

Of course along with feeling more alive comes other new sensations of new found consciousness – it’s like an awakening of a different sort. Rather then the mind awakening more deeply, this is now a physical awakening.

I have long known and explained in my books and classes how when you are raising your consciousness, your body leaves no stone unturned. All of you -- each and every part of your body must be in alignment with this process or it doesn’t happen as it should.

That means even the bacteria in your gut will wake up, become aware and in all ways work with you on a conscious level. Every part of your body must be part of this change in vibration – all cells, tissues, organs.

So, piece by piece your body is cleared, cleansed, detoxed while the heavy stagnant energy is lifted off, broken down and transformed. Your body must become your own again and that takes work. This is the specific work of the spiritual path. To clear the way inside and out for higher levels of consciousness. Your body is not a temple until you make it so. It is not a whole and healthy place in the same way – this all takes effort.

And the way you eat is a vital part of choosing to live a spiritual life. Your food is who you are – it works equally at keeping body, mind and soul together – make it count.
