Seasonal Energy Shift.....

What an interesting week we have had after the new moon….this time of year we are in the middle of great seasonal changes. But, perhaps at this time in the history of the world we are also in the middle of great revelations – about ourselves and how the world has been run for us, certainly not by us.

I have noticed how jaded we are, cynical and more then a little unfocused with all that is taking place around us. But, as many of these things rise up to the surface to be revealed I have also noticed another great anomaly of this current age….

There is so much we just don’t want to know (indifference?) or at least I tend to meet someone every now and then who feels this way about themselves and the world around them. It’s such a sad state to be in!

I know I certainly don’t feel that way….I want to know everything about everything and how it all works and then some. LOL. This Universe we call home is filled with wonderful things just waiting for us to discover, re-claim and re-cover –never a dull moment around here…...

Over the years my body has taken me on this incredible journey (and continues to do so) which only gets deeper, more focused and rewarding with each step of this age old path….however, along the way the single most thing that must be pulled out from these spaces is fear.

Fear, there’s that terrible word again, it has taken root and grown so deeply into the light places of our bodies and minds, that in some instances,  we are completely paralyzed (energy block) because of it.

Perhaps the best way to overcome some of this fear is to take one thing that you are afraid of and talk about it, write about it, pursue it and otherwise explore what it means to you and your life here this time around.

Then, once you have gained some new perspective on it, jump in the deep end of it and see what happens…perhaps it’s time to see where you are at on your journey within and certainly to find out if the hope, faith and love you find inside will ‘float’ you onwards towards your goals.

And Now for the Rinse Cycle....

It’s Monday (never a bad day for me!), the start of a new week – and it’s raining outside. This is a big deal right now – because we have had 3 weeks of sunshine (is this a record?) and today I am going through sunshine withdrawal.

Even though we need the rain to water the gardens and the grass….the sunshine was so nice, the top up of vitamin D was even better and now I have been reminded how much I do not like damp cold weather, at all.

So, what’s the moral of this story here? Change ushered in with a shift in the weather or it’s time for a good cleansing or good things come to an end…hmmm….

I think it’s a cycle – and we are finding our new pattern of life (living, clearing, shifting, growing). The rain is part of this overall new order in the same way we require light, darkness, seasons and space.

Over these past few (how long has it been?) years we have seemingly had no seasons, no warmth, no light and little comfort. When it (the brightness) came back into our lives again, it was as if all was right in the world…it’s difficult to think of what living would be without it.

Now that we have entered the rinse cycle, it’s the time to remind ourselves, the sun and warmth will be back again shortly because well, it’s summer!

But, I can learn to enjoy a little rain (now and then!!) LOL

It's Time to Change Our Minds....Dealing with Fear

These days my mind is focused on change….and what usually comes along with those thoughts is the deep rooted patterns of fear…we see it everywhere. Some of it we even recognize, however – there is far more that is cleverly disguised as something else altogether.

Recently I have heard it mentioned how brave someone is (ie no fear) when they have done something clearly and plainly 'out of fear'. Such as, have a drastic medical procedure….instead of taking exquisite care of their bodies, getting to know themselves better and maybe believing in their own commitment to health.

Of course there is a lot more to that as well…just ask me, I’ve been there. A few times.

I’ve faced serious illnesses and dealt with it through fear, which didn’t work and then through trust and faith in my body, mind and soul. The proof that this gentle, natural, holistic approach works, is that I’m still here! LOL

So…back to fear. Just what is this emotion we talk so much about, yet seem to find ourselves dancing around…not really ever getting to the bottom of? I think it is based on a healthy instinct (such as the fight or flight mechanism) that has gone out of control….

Or, has this innate, inborn response been hijacked by something (a virus, toxins, caffeine??) where our normal functions are overridden and blown out of proportion. When we are not in control a struggle ensues and there we have it….

More fear is generated because we are struggling with normal body processes which interfere with our mind/thinking/thoughts – and we all know how the overmind can then step in and inflate the least little thing.

It’s as if a tiny ‘normal’ fear/concern/wondering becomes blown out of context into something it clearly is not. Our systems are certainly out of whack and our minds are generating fear when they don’t need to.

So what to do about all of this? Well that’s simple!! It’s time to 'change' our mind LOL…..

You know what I will say to that…change your diet, change your gut, change your body and you change your mind. This takes dedication, time, energy and effort – but to make one significant impact on your life right now, make every effort to clean out your gut.

Get your mind back on track…

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.

Stepping into Our Power

A pleasant day here on planet Earth energy wise – on the surface at least, all appears to be calm and moving right along. However, the undercurrents are forceful and not to be mis-calculated.

This is a time of upheaval – another one in the many we have been going through, some of us are thinking. But only on the surface, otherwise things are not what them seem.

Right now the only way I can really describe the view from here is that things are changing and that change is not to be feared. It’s as if a shift in power is taking place – the struggle has long since been won.

Now – for the handover.

And that is what is taking some time getting used to (for those who USED to be in power) and not the least a bit of resistance involved too. For those who are used to having things their way, not getting what they want, when they want it – opens up an entire new world.

For the rest of us, these changes usher in waves of abundance, times of plenty and lift the restrictions and limits imposed on us by closed minds and dark hearts.

Change begins on the inside and spills over into the light – but anything worthwhile takes time, energy and effort to move it along in the most positive ways. Patience is key here, as is perseverance.

Remember when your heart is filled with the highest intentions, even though it may not seem like it all the time – those intentions, dreams and wishes set your course through the stars.

All that is required of us is to follow in those ancient footprints – be true to our spiritual selves, chase our dreams, find our passions and listen to our hearts. Life really is that simple – it takes hold and thankfully won’t let go.

B Vitamins Coming Back After Parasite Cleanse

The weather has changed and that usually signals an energy shift on other level of our awareness – it can also tell us, when we are listening and paying attention, that it is time for us to do something different as well.

With this in mind, I decided to do another short cleanse (fasting) during the coming week or so. And once this was decided last night – I felt so good, like I was moving forward again – or more precisely that I had just sped up a bit.

I also enjoyed fabulous dreams last night as well….my theme this week has been jewelry again. I say again because for many years some of my most memorable dreams have involved rings, but mostly bracelets and anklets.

And of course, I love jewelry, always have, always will. I usually think of these dreams in terms of change coming, but also levels of learning. With the pieces of jewelry representing stages or grades attained along the way.

Perhaps (and I’ve no doubt) my greatest amount of learning is right in front of me – I am certain it will be an interesting time at the very least.

What is funny is how after my last 30 days parasite cleanse (which was so difficult by the way) I felt at the time, I might never do another one! LOL So, here we are, now, ready to go again albeit, stepping lightly around it this time.

But not for 30 days, a much shorter time frame is planned – but still on water and herbal teas only. This is the only way I have ever found to bring my gut back into balance. And as a Clinical Nutritionist, I would never recommend something, I myself have not tried or do regularly. 

To be honest, after so many years of living this way – a few days spent fasting to achieve this level of good health – is always worth while. And, overall – I feel great, we are strong, our guts work, our immune systems are functional, our bones and teeth are healthy (I sound like I am selling a puppy!)…

I can’t think of anything more important than good health and a strong mind, that goes along with it. One thing that stands out to me since doing my parasite cleanse is how far my reserves have built up over the weeks since.

My B vitamins in particular have really come back up and I am fully aware of how much more energy I have. But other little things have changed - my ears (hearing) are clearer, my skin is a little different, I sleep more soundly, my hair is nicer (I keep getting comments on the fact I am not gray for my age), and these dreams!!!

All indications are full steam ahead, It's onwards and upward for us, then!
