Energy of Food - Law Of Attraction at Work

Today I am watching the birds eat seeds from a feeder my daughter insisted we build for them. And I am marveling at the fact that they are not worried - or at least don't appear to be. They have no worries for food, shelter and how to live their lives.

We are apparently the only creatures on this planet who seem to be worried about how to feed ourselves, where to live, what to do with our time and all that goes on inside of our heads in-between each distressing thought.

Does it really have to be this way or are we socially conditioned to believe we need to be worrying, fretful and concerned about how to survive? Perhaps these birds don't live very well - are they hungry all the time, do they eat poorly and wonder why they are cold?

Or is there not a thought of fear in their heads when it comes to food - because they are too busy trying to survive from predators? Who are our predators - surely as humans we are the top of the food chain, we can't possibly have someone or anything preying on us.....

In the energetic fields we certainly do have energy vampires - they are 'humans' who actively seek out the weak, vulnerable or down trodden amongst us and if they like something they see, they take it. Then they proceed to entertain themselves at our expense while they bleed us dry.

These days, this sounds like the neighborhood bankers and any number of financial institutions people the world over are struggling to support under increasingly heavy burdens. The only way that we have found to get out from under some of this energy grab is to exit off of the food grid....

Yes, it all does boil down to the food we are eating. You are exactly what you eat and more - you are the energy of the food you eat. When that energy is filled with fear, worry, stress and boredom from fearful employees - you take that on too.

Then, with the Law of Attraction being such a force in our world - you will attract the energy that fills you up. Or you will draw to yourself the same vibration you are carrying most in your organs, tissues and cells. 

An energy vampire is good at taking the best from you and leaving you with little or nothing to live on. Then they can fill up with higher vibration energy at your expense...It really is very simple and unfortunately all too familiar.

Now, what to do about it - today make your own food from scratch, source raw ingredients and eat nothing processed. Try it and see what happens.

Standing in Your Own Power

We are truly nearing the end of this feast season and it feels as if the year itself is winding down - it certainly does seem to be going out with a bit of a bang so far. Storms and extreme weather coinciding with special dates on the calendar ..... hmmm. Interesting.

Perhaps at the end of the day it is no accident that such a huge storm system (an energy changer for sure) rolls into the world when ever things are being shaken up and altered. The earth does ultimately work alongside us and is obvious to those who care to pay attention.

To think that this living organism we reside on is but a passive observer to all the happenings for good or ill - would be such a waste of a connection. Of course she is involved, perhaps even far more than we realize.

Today in the aftermath of natures' forces, at the very least we are humbled while many are pulling together to get lives back to normal. Or, is that even be the option here? Normal life. What does that mean exactly?

Perhaps if this means living in such a manner that when a storm comes rolling in and slams into us - we cannot cope with heat, light, food and basic needs because of the circumstances we have placed ourselves into.

By this I mean - a number of years ago my intuition told me to get out of living in a town or city. Move to the country, work at raising my own food, have a well, a separate heat source and in general live sustainably. Off the food grid as much as possible. 

We have taken years building ourselves up to this as far as skill learning, obtaining tools, livestock, education and developing our own methods and ideas. For the most part, a lifestyle such as this is driven by a desire to be healthy. Of course, there are other advantages.

These storms will come - are they more ferocious and extreme at this time? Perhaps. However, no matter what you believe, life might become increasingly difficult for many who are left high and dry without the means to heat their houses or to get clean water because of this weather. 

Basics such as these are a must - and perhaps we must do far more for ourselves in this regard. When you find yourself in a position of not needing to out source infrastructure because you have developed your own - you are standing in your own power. 

It's a great place to be!

It's a Feast Day! Samhain...A Time Lapse Door to the Dead

Well we are all delighted to get this this important feast day on our calendar -- this is a day which has been steeped in magic, change and shifting energy over the centuries. However for the most part, it's deeper meanings remain clear. All you really need do is lightly scratch the surface.

Today being associated with all things that are dead or passed on into these other worlds makes it's meaning clear in that we should look to the shadow realms. Here we will find all that we are seeking - if we dare to pick our way amongst the old bones.

I have long wondered why there is so much fear associated with Halloween - scary night that it is. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that these doors are not always open to us - what if this one particular door was only open at this one time of the year?

Whatever those of us who are in the living dimensions need to find beyond that door, must then be retrieved at this point. It's a bit like a time lapse - the door opens for a short period of time, we need to go through, do the work on the systems, find what we have lost and return to the land of the living. Intact.

Then again what if we don't really have a choice? What if all of humankind gets thrust into these shadowlands for this brief period of time and then are expected to be able to navigate our way safety back home at the end of the day?

Of course those of us walking a spiritual path would have a particular interest in traversing these boundaries at this time of year - this is 'all souls', or an opportunity to piece back together our souls. Which have been shattered, broken and lost along these lifetimes of change, abuse, fear, hatred and all manner of negativity. Now is an opportunity to set things right. 

Keep looking, there is a long night ahead of us.....

Magical Creative Energy

Today has been fairly busy so far - and it has been a strange sort of energy I can't quite put my finger on it yet --- perhaps because I am too busy not listening to it. And I have in times past really thought I didn't like this time of year at all...

Now of course, when I know much more about magic, shadow energy and all that takes place in the gut during these few weeks of winter - I have a completely different perspective. For the last few years I have looked forward to detox season like nothing else all year.

Now that it is here I am pleased that we have arrived once again healthy and fit - ready to work hard to create the change we desire. This is the absolute best time of the year to do any kind of cleanse - during the darkness, going deep within.

It's as if you are planting a seed only this one exists in time and space like a thought - once you have done the work around your dreams, something good will grow from it. The development of a dream requires enormous energy to get off the ground - as you begin to focus on it, you can get it to take root.

Traditionally late October is the Celtic New Year and I would tend to agree with that. Officially the year changes later in the season, but it is totally out of sync with the seasons in our guts. This time of darkness and change is necessary to work with the energy of earth - as she journeys into the shadow lands.

And as our dreams are like our children - Halloween or Samhain is all about the costumes, masks and hidden aspects of our hopes and wishes. We can protect them until they are ready to burst out into the world being revealed for who they really are.

It's a wonderful time of magical creative energy....

Energetic Resistance and Will Power

I am making plans today to do something different - not quite sure what I will do yet. But, you know how we all have these 'things' we would like to do - or perhaps it's something we have done before and need to do more of...

What I am talking about are visits to a favourite beach, a walk in the forest, taking the children on some outing or other. These little things that can make life a little more fun and create some special moments. Often days such as these define who we are.... yet we are reluctant to get moving on them.

Whenever we face resistance, by walking into the front of that wall knowing the energy will dissipate from sheer force of will - we are on our way to overcoming far more then only physical addictions. We are now moving into the arena of spiritual energy blocks, breaking down darkness.

I often think if I knew the full extent to which I was controlled from outside forces when I first started walking this path - I am not certain I would have been able to comprehend just where I needed to go, to get where I am now.

These other influences and interference energies have manipulated our will - causing us to want or desire something, then to back down from creating it. To take an otherwise magical experience and waste it on lack of focus and discord...

Certainty and knowingness in what you want from this life and where you are going are not always steady companions on this path. They are often seen running alongside us as we climb further up our mountains - to be found there waiting at the end of each day.

Part of being absolute in our beliefs rises up from our will power. The sheer force of our will has not been known and will not be fully realized until each piece has been reclaimed from beyond those walls of resistance...

Today is a good day to do something about that

Reflection of Your Shadow Self

Nothing better than a long weekend to get your feet on the ground once again and to bring life back into perspective. I really enjoy these long dark nights in with the family - on the one hand, it is cosy and comforting. While, I do miss the long days and the light....

Somewhere between worlds is where we find ourselves at the moment - at this time of year our gut lining is it's thinnest, making detoxing easier. But also meaning that toxins can move back and forth when the digestive system is not in a healthy state.

Of course the most exciting thing about right now is the change. If you cannot sense all of these energy shifts taking place on the earth at the moment - try to take some time to slow down and get into this new groove. Things are really starting to move as far as higher consciousness is concerned.

And where does that leave all of us? Well, if you have been actively taking part in creating your life, working on eating better, exercising and focusing on what you want here - you are on the right path. Regardless of what anyone out there says to the contrary - awakening is a physical process and you can't do that without your body's involvement. 

Now is not the time to succumb to sugar, sweets and the pure rubbish on offer - each of these are strategically placed to pull you back down to the lower dimensions. Walking the spiritual path is all about overcoming these obstacles and addictions. You cannot bring them with you. 

This weekend and during these coming dark days before the light returns is also a great time to reflect on all you are hoping for, dreaming about and attempting to bring about in this world. Now is a good time to refine your goals while you continue to work at making them happen.

Deeply into the shadow time of the year as we are now, reflects our own shadow self - and out of this darkness will come great ideas, plans and profound energy into the light. This is the time to actively pursue your dreams - wherever they may be.

Letting Go and Moving On

Well I always know there will be change after each cleanse or detox - however I can't anticipate what it will be. Yesterday we had to put one of our dogs down - she had been unwell (and old age) for some time, but had suddenly taken a turn for the worse.

The first in a series of decisions that will change things for us. And I am not certain how right now, except that whatever is coming will be good. Even if it involves difficult parts of the road to navigate at the moment.

And this is the one aspect of doing all of this work that has been on my mind over the last day or so - when you are walking a path towards anything worthwhile, there will be so much and so many you may be asked to leave behind you.

Some people, relationships, situations, things and places are simply not going your way. And to hold on to them or allow them to hold onto you would defeat the entire purpose of this work. A lot about life revolves around moving forward with the inevitable loss and grief that comes with it.

Sometimes I look back at the past decade or so of my life and if I choose to all I can see is what has been left behind. It often resembles a road littered with all that was broken and not working in our lives. Even though it is a noble thought to stay for awhile and try to fix things....

Sadly we cannot change what is meant to be. We are not able to create on behalf of other people who are not coming down this road with us (immediate family aside) and some situations are as they should be for reasons beyond our understanding at the moment.

Last night I thought I would dream of our dog - I usually do when we have to go through things like that. Instead I dreamt of building a house - we were all standing inside talking about a decision we had just made. Then stepping back waiting for the effect of the new energy to shift the walls of the building.

It was like magic. And isn't that what life is all about?
