Energy Aligned in One Place.....Connecting with Destiny


 Today is a food day (a good day! LOL)…..and I have been thinking about the term – ‘the good life’. All along of course, I have wondered about this elusive state of being and have lived many years in hope that one day I might be able to stake a claim to some piece of that attitude myself.

Perhaps some part of me is there with the rest of my being moving steadily along the proverbial path towards having, living and enjoying life. And hopefully for the most part, it will always be good.

However, for many people life is anything but good. In fact, no matter what, how much or how little someone has around them – in terms of relationships, stress, material things and so forth….

When they are not ‘living’ on the inside, nothing is completely good or satisfying on the outside. Life is far more then what you might be able to make of it….life involves taking steps to ensure you remain alive and conscious.

So many of us walk through each day thinking (or not) that this is all there is. And they are right – if you think that way, you will see things that way and ultimately be that way.

It’s a narrow unfulfilled dull existence. But, that’s just my opinion. After all, I was one of those people who would think that there has to be far more to living and life then just getting up and going to work for someone else each day.

There had to be something more to life…..

I knew in my heart that there was something better, a higher road (even if more difficult) and if I took every step possible I just might be able to find that path. What I have found out about this road back to life is that it is real, it does exist and it is worth making the effort to connect with it.

This good life is not entirely about things, people, or even having a special purpose….so far it appears to be all about having enough of yourself awake, present and alive – energy aligned in the one place and connecting with destiny.

Open Lines of Communication

And then we arrive at today - another Monday, (which I love) in which to create our lives from something new and make them far better then they are right now. But, if it seems like you are always striving, forever trying, feeling frustrated and tired of the same old thing...(or maybe it's just me)

Then it's probably because you are, you did and it is.

These feelings of frustration come mostly from pockets in side of us which I would term as regions of toxicity or stagnant energy. Unfortunately there are far too many and this is a common problem with the way we live our lives today.

We don't move enough, many of us are not eating well enough and we are all equally guilty of not listening to our bodies or paying close enough attention to the things that really matter.  When I think of it, life should be and is really simple.

The more body centered we are the easier it becomes to focus on and engage in activities that fulfill our purpose, guide us forward, toward our destiny and also keep us fully grounded in reality. None of this is difficult or hard to do.

It is often as earthy and straightforward as planting a few vegetables or herbs. Then to move forward a bit more, you have to incorporate regular movement and exercise into your day as well as times of fasting and moving meditation.

Being close to and in direct contact with the earth serves one of the greatest purposes as far as I can tell...it puts us in direct alignment with our own routes, methods and modes of communication. We cannot live a meaningful, spiritual and purposeful life (or walking a spiritual path) without open lines of communication.

Opening those doors within, will ensure they are functional on the outside as well.

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

Fasting With A Purpose

These past few days after finishing our last Master Cleanse have been full of change and new happenings. The old patterns and usual occurrences are steadily being broken down making room for healthy foundations in its place.

Today I am getting back to fasting, it has been a  busy few days cooking, gardening, making more jams for winter and all the little things that need to be done in between. So, having a fast day is refreshing and will give me the space to contemplate each of these changes that must be made.

One thing that I have noticed (and want to work on) is how exposed our shadows tend to be with the current way we are living in our society. By this I mean, there are few of us with clearly defined boundaries, allowing others to observe, walk in, and otherwise interfere with our energy fields.

All of this exposure leads to one main thing - a deep sense of insecurity and the fear that goes along with that. It's as if our entire society, way of life has been engineered to keep us in a cycle of inner turmoil and uncertainty about who we truly are and where we are going because the lines between us are blurred. 

Where ever we are lacking clearly defined borders and boundaries, not only do we not know where we stop and start, we also often have no clear idea of what is ours and what is not. Especially in terms of issues, problems and energy.  How could we, when energies bleed into each other mingling and mixing in un-natural ways?

This can play out in many ways within our own lives. For instance, over the years I have met people whose past lives are not their own, who are trying to heal dysfunction that comes in from a family member, who leave loving marriages and partners because they are carrying relationship patterns that do not belong and many others who live a life as someone they are not.

This issue of boundaries is perhaps one of the most common problems facing those who are attempting to walk a spiritual path or to just live their lives as they would like to. Not having clearly defined lines within your energy field is a form of energy dysfunction that leads to well, all of these further dysfunctions and far worse. 

So, what to do about all of this? Well, today, I am doing what I know that I can do - I am fasting, while contemplating healing, shifting and creating strong boundaries. This I know I can do, and I also know fasting will reveal to me the next step in the direction I need to go.

This is fasting with a purpose,

April
