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.

Trust, Persistance and Determination

Unofficially it is day 3 of my little detox - I still feel as if I am keeping this a fairly low profile - I haven't even told myself yet! LOL And I am still only taking in water... perhaps today I will make some cleanse juice and get this show on the road.

However, it does feel nice to just have some space and time to quietly reflect as I walk this path on my own. No one else in the house is joining me on this cleanse for a few days yet. So it feels like this is a part I have all to myself.

It's kind of nice too - but for some strange reason I had been thinking it would be far harder to go it alone. I am so used to having the camaraderie of others when I do these cleanses. Perhaps walking this first week or so on my own will provide me with insights and time to process through things not touched on otherwise.

Yesterday was definitely a testing day - my patience and ability to persist at what I choose to do have been put to the test. It all started with the goats....they are such lovely creatures but stubborn and of course we are all just getting to know each other.

Getting these goats back into their stalls in the evening has been hit and miss - a couple of times they just walked right in and settled down. However the rest of the time - no way. They were not going in until they felt it was time and that was final.

So, persistence and patience all round - of course then I was questioning the wisdom of having such large animals at this time. Falling back to an old pattern of thinking - the things I want to do and have are not the best.

But of course they are. This is simply a learning curve for us and them as we all get to know each other.  For the most part I think they were testing me to see how far they could push while they figure out what kind of people we are.

Perhaps this is the kind of persistence we all need - they were interested in the trees and shrubs in the paddock. Nothing was going to take them from their snack - not even a treat. Once it grew dark, they were ready to go into the barn for the night.

Simple really. If we had that same kind of determination and focus - but at the same time trust that the warm safe place is there at the end of the day - it might all just work out perfectly.

Closing the Energy Leaks

It's still early in the day and my dreams from last night are so fresh in my mind.  It was as if I had been dreaming all night about the same people and situation - something from very long ago. Right now I am feeling quite pleased because maybe I am getting to the heart of a matter.

Perhaps the single biggest obstacle in my life has been one of the person who bullied me as a child, who has had a hold over my energy for all of my life. I have not seen or had anything to do with this person in over a decade - but she still has dominated my dreams and my energy field.

The biggest single drain on my energy resources - which had been obvious to myself and even to those whom I used to work with in an energetic capacity years ago. They could hardly believe this was possible to such an extent.

Oh, but it is, because I wake up most days and feel as if I have been drained of everything. I can wake up in the mornings feeling tired, grumpy and not myself. Knowing immediately it is 'her' and then work at closing the energy leaks as my day wears on.

For the most part these days with the fasting and advanced energy work, I am able to combat this particular energy vampire - however it has felt in the past as if I was making little or no headway. And it has taken me nearly a year of repeatedly doing cleanses to finally get down to the heart of this.

So, right now, I am pleased. My work on myself is paying off. My dreams are showing me things are changing - last night I was deep into my shadow side making the changes necessary. 

Once more proof that persistence and patience do indeed pay off - keep going after your intended goal. Don't let anything put you off or slow you down and you will get there. Simply because you have worked for it and created the change yourself.

That is magic in action!
