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.

'Feeling' My Way Forward

This week has been exceptionally busy….however I am getting better and better at being organized so usually things go very well. I guess for me it’s all about adjustment – this part of the spiritual path is quite different from any other and it has taken me a few weeks (months?) to figure out why.

These days my life is coming back together (well, it’s about time!) both in expected and unexpected ways. Of course, over the years I have been very busy dreaming, planning and hoping for this time, but now that it is here……

Well, it’s a little bit disconcerting.

Or strange.

And I am feeling as if I am still waiting for things to cave in or the bottom to fall out…..or perhaps something even more then that.

Even though I am anticipating something great, that my life is coming back, growing, shifting, changing and taking shape and I am in awe of what is taking place. If anything I am still learning how to walk this new path – on this part of the journey I must deal with all I have carried in my heart……

For so very long I have not really lived or felt anything too deeply (the uncertainty and insecurity covered everything)…..not that I was shut down or anything. My heart was guiding me and leading me, however some of those inner doors to the profound were tightly closed.

Now, in this new place I have to re-learned (energy re-pattern) how to let those doors open. Let my guard down and relax into this new pace of life changing events I have set for myself.

My heart was strong enough to guide me this far…..and I know it is strong enough to take me the rest of the way. Now, where did I put that inner map!

Love Endures All Things

I am sure we are all enjoying this sunshine….right now it just seems endless. I had forgotten what it was like to wake up in the morning to sun, blue sky and dry air. It’s so nice to have it back, even for a little while.

We deserve this weather (and many more weeks of it!) after all these years of rain, storms, wind (and more rain). I remember a couple of years ago, the entire month of July it rained – 31 consecutive days.

It was torture. It was cold. We have missed the sun and the light.

Of course, by no means are those rainy days behind us, completely. But, something is. Whatever it was that had cast it’s dark spell over Ireland, has shifted – we endured and now have broken through into the light again.

I am reminded here of my favourite saying in the entire world – and perhaps my favourite word too….

‘Love endures all things’

I even have a stamp with these words written on it and have them placed in strategic locations around my work space to remind me of the force love is. It also reminds me of the key word here in this phrase.

And it’s not love! It’s ‘endure’ – which means to be patient, to tolerate and to carry on without yielding. But, the most important thing here is the root or origin of this word…endure means to make solid.

To me, this has always meant that only love can bring our dreams into this reality…a wish becomes a dream, this then becomes a plan – it takes love (and patience without yielding) for that wish (dream, plan) to solidify or become real in this dimension.

To endure – looked at in this way, to me, has always meant to create. It actually requires love (do what you love) to really create something worthwhile on a solid foundation.

Love is a force all on it’s own.

Breaking Through the Shadow Mind....

I am fasting again today….it’s been an intermittent fasting week, one day eating and one day fasting. While I time my workouts (and milking goats, cooking, cleaning, writing, gardening!LOL) for my fasted days…it just feels much better that way. 

This week has seen more in the way of change for me – mostly in my mind (it's all in my mind, isn't it!). It’s as if I am breaking through back into the place I was in as a teenager. Which is a time of some great memories for me because I was certain I could do anything! LOL

Such is the young mind….of course over the years this 'frame of mind', thinking and certainty was pulled down, torn apart and held back by my experiences (read: mostly social relationships, jobs, negativity) but also through one pivotal event.

At age 20 or so I had glandular fever. I knew then it was life sapping and I related it back to vaccinations I was forced to endure a few months previously (my system was down etc.) in order to start a new job….

However, I guess I didn’t realize how much this and other viruses in our systems erode away at our minds as well. To be honest with you – in a matter of months after I had the initial infection, I was a shadow of myself.

And I have struggled to get that part of myself back ever since. Physically I have healed my body, regained my energy and come back from a lot over the years. They say the mind is the last thing to go - so is it the first thing to come back in a higher consciousness sort of way?

Either way, it was totally a mind thing that was hurt by this virus – because I knew without a doubt I could accomplish anything, I could be anything, I was resourceful, creative and I was a free spirit. I know that kind of sounds like me now as well….

But, back then, this energy was firmly fixed to my identity – I had no worries about my life or my future. I was here on this planet and I was living and that was all that mattered. 

Only this past week, have I felt that part of me rising up once again, into it's full stature, surrounding  me like a new energy. And I hope with all of my heart, that she takes the lead from now on.

This Wave of Energy is POSITIVE

Today has been one of those days - the sun was shining and the energy has been flowing. But it all feels so weird and I have been trying to figure out why. Perhaps it's because I just never took the time to sit down and work it out...

Or to stand up and work it out, either.  Actually, I have been working away all day at not paying that much attention to some deeper issues that have been coming up to the surface. Each of them have been threads leading back to the wider issue of negativity.

So, this is all still coming up to the surface for me and I am delighted. But also a little overwhelmed too. I never imagined how deeply I am affected by the negative reactions of others .... especially now. After all the work I have done around this and other issues.

Yet, when someone is negative (usually this is an a very subtle way) I back down or worse....I give up. And - these last few times, I never even realised it! Someone said - no, it can't be done (that way or something) and I actually listened to them....

Only today I realised it and gave my head a shake. Since when have I let someone else's limitations guide my journey... Not ever - and certainly not right now, this is such an important time in my life.

I would suggest to everyone - if you have been told a 'no' in your life around anything, something you would really like to do or accomplish - go back and visit it again. Re-evaluate the situation and figure out where this has come from....

There are few outright negatives in the Universe - it is absolutely full to bursting with possibilities - that's the way life is, the way we are and the only way forward....firmly leaning towards the positive end of the spectrum.

Taking us with it into this wave of creative energy.....

A Good and Great God

Today being a full moon always has interesting energy on offer - I also like that the skies are clear and the sun is shining - a portent for good? And it is, there are many wonderful things taking place in the world at each moment, it is up to us to seek them out.

Aligning with all that is great is an intention that can be placed within your energy field which will go out into the world, but of course you must first work on clearing out (detoxing) any negative patterns which might hold you back from kindness.

What I am referring to here is evil and there is unfortunately too much of it in the world space we occupy. It exists in places where you would least suspect, or perhaps not. Most of this evil is concentrated within religions.

Hatred and evil are driven by fear - and there are none so fearful as those who need to hold the power, money and have control of the majority of the people. 

Remember the old saying - what you fear the most you draw to you? Also the energy you put out there, will eventually come back full circle. And just look at what is happening and has always taken place within these organizations.

Pure evil! From the inquisitions to out right murder in the name of some lessor god (it can't possibly have been in the name of a great God?), mayhem, pillaging, raping and stealing. Of course none worse then what has been done to the children.

Any one of us who had the misfortune to grow up in a place steeped in hypocrisy with rules such as 'do as I say, not as I do' or 'trust in God' - when it was so obvious their entity was not to be trusted, have some way to go to detox this negative image of god out of our systems.

I have long known there is a feminine as well as a masculine face in god- of course there is, we are ALL made in Her image! And that the god I will trust is kind, good and unconditional in Her love for humanity. Those who are walking this path back to find what was lost, taken and stolen from us will eventually encounter this greatness of presence which resides within.

She has been waiting for us to come home. 

Have a magical day!

Creating Change - Positive Movement on the Spiritual Path

Today is a food day, I broke my fast this morning and have had a nice breakfast and some wonderful dandelion coffee - the sky has cleared (inside and out) and it is a nice feeling once again to feel, see and sense immediate results of my efforts.

It was a bit of a tough mini cleanse this time around, the first couple of days I had a lot of deep pain in my bones (I have had this a lot in my life) as if something was coming up and out. I felt pretty good otherwise but just kept moving as much as possible to keep energy flowing.

Each cleanse or fast day as well as any food day is quite different from each other - there are so many layers, levels and dimensions of our human bodies that need to be incorporated into the detox, that this can only take place over considerable amounts of time.

We tend to think that change happens very slowly, however, change is taking place at a constant rate as long as we are pushing towards our hopes, dreams and goals. One thing that I have noticed recently is that once I decided to give my entire attention to my heart's desires - the rate of transformation in my life speeded up.

I have been talking about removing obstacles to my dreams for quite some time and have been actively working at breaking down these walls, once an opening was created, decisions needed to be made as to which way to move. There is absolutely no point in wanting to open a new inner door only to not take immediate action with what you find inside.

Following a dream means aligning with your passions, which also entails taking the time to know yourself. Once you commit to walking the talk in support of your purpose or destiny, anything that your heart (mind, body and soul) is asking you to do must be listened to and acted upon. There are a few elements involved in this process; 

Trust - anytime I am taking a step forward in faith, I am reminded by my heart to just trust that I have not come this far to be let down. Failure is not an option along this spiritual path. 

The next key word here is follow through, once space is created for change to take place (inside or outside) in your life, you must take action or something else will come in and fill this void. This is an energetic law, create a vacuum and it will be filled, it's best to fill it yourself. 

Another important part of the overall equation is that the purpose of cleansing, detoxing and self mastery is to overcome anything that might hold you back or otherwise stand in the way of your direct path onwards and upwards. For most of us this is addiction of any kind including caffeine, sugar and negativity.

Do not let fear hold you back (especially the fears of others), this creates resistance inside of your mind and body taking the place of love pushing you aside and off track. Finding and connecting with your own love is also a vital component because this is the force that will propel you forward towards creating your dreams.

I hope the sun is shining where ever you are,

Today is Day 8

We are getting there, nearly to the end of our July cleanse and at the point when I am reviewing the last week looking back over the events and challenges that have come up for me. Each cleanse is so very different from the other ones - yet there is always an overall pattern.

This time around it is far more emotional, deeper and clearly a lot more heart energy has been moving and opening up for us. Of course this is a vital area to clean out as the heart will lead us home. Our heart contains the map and is the key to rising consciousness - we cannot move forward without all parts of us on board.

The same cycles of movement which manage to gently take us more deeply into energies embedded in the tissues are taking place - with detoxing days and resting periods in between. Yesterday was a movement day - lots taking place for us and a lot coming up. 

For day 8, I am feeling well, still good energy levels, my eyes are clearer, aches are gone and I have an overwhelming urge to clean. I just drank my 4th salt water flush which also goes a long way to helping us feel good inside and out. 

I am getting all the signs outwardly that blocks are moving, releasing and there is change. Usually it is not until 3 or 4 days after each 10 day cleanse that we really are able to see what has shifted for us and where. 

My dreams are still there, however as opposed to the beginning of this cleanse I am not remembering them when I wake up, another cycle is taking place, it just feels as if they are moving up from some very deeply buried place and coming into the light. Heart stuff for sure!

Well, off to find more ways to encourage my heart to open and for this old energy to clear,

Have a love-ly day!

Just a little bit further and we are home...
