As you near the "end of the world" :)And you ride the wave of this new energy,Many of you have never felt better!It is beginning to feel lighter,There is a sense of a release of pressurethat has been building since before you can remember.While some are running to find safety,YOU are feeling safe enough to stand still and take a breath.It is a deep breath of relief and release that is happening now.The two energies could not feel farther apart,the fear of the end,and the feeling of great peace,The feeling of doom and gloom,and the opposite, of hope and celebration.There is a reason to celebrate for both!Once this milestone month and year have passed,humanity will breathe a collective sigh of relief,for what then, will they have to fear?The dates that have loomed so large,and been anticipated by many, many, people as the end of the world,...will have come and gone.Think about that,the realization that the apocalypse energy,that many were born believing would occur,has been shifted and has dissipated.What an invisible weight will be lifted!What an cellular sigh of relief!And what a reason to celebrate!
It was not into my ears you whispered, but into my heartIt was not my lips that you kissed, but my soul,If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself thru my eyes,For only then, would you realize, How special you are to me.~Rumi~
As you let this energy of the 12-12-12wash over you,really take it in.You have traveled far,and waited a long time for this.The air seems shimmery,filled with filaments of wisdom,as the earth threads the needle thru this place in space.Set your intentions,and let them rise,like balloons that ride the winds.This last magical number sequence of this century,was greatly anticipated,and for good reason.ANYTHING can happen now,wish it into being,EVERYTHING is fluid,and ripe with possibilities.There are millions on the planet that will use the energy of this day,to catapult humanity into its golden age,take the time,to sit in silence,feel the shimmering air,and join them!
So now that we are in what seems to be an energeticFree-fall,as we hurdle toward the solstice and beyond into 2013,it will be essential to have the eye of a gymnast,as you turn mid-air, and spot your landing.For in this seeming Free-fall, all bets are off!You have felt like Alice down the rabbit hole.What is up, and where is down?You have no sense of time, have you been falling for an hour or a decade?Suddenly now, you must become aware,hyper vigilant in your focus on your landing.Will you tuck and roll?Will you fall carelessly, taking others with you?It can be however you desire it to be.You just have to decide, maneuver, and then plant your feet.You have the agility now, in the midst of this fall, to change the direction and rate of decent, to keep your eyes on your desired target,pull yourself together,and land into this new energy,this new earth,this new life,with your feet planted firmly,your intentions clear,and your arms reaching toward the stars.
Look at the world thru eyes filled with gratitude.Live your life with Courage.Be proud of your decisions, the choices you make,if you are not proud, change them.Laugh often, smile and find humor in the things around you.Once you start looking...it will be easy to see.Be kind, to animals, to strangers , to yourself.Listen for guidance, it is there, but first you must be still, for it is the quiet voice.Love, open your heart to give it and to receive it.If you can incorporate these 7 things into your daily life, you will begin to noticefirst, that they all become easier and easier to do, and second, that you don't know how you lived another way!
Remembering who you really arein all your magnificence,with all your wisdom and power,now being able to forget your past,to release all preconceived ideas about your life,about your future,will begin to facilitate a fresh start!That fresh start can all at once feel exhilarating and daunting!Because you are now conscious inside your life,you have a new responsibility toward yourself.you can no longer hide behind the theory that "life happens to you,"Don't worry, you won't let yourself down!With this fresh start, this clean slate,you can begin to get hints of greatness,of new things to come,miracles will start to occur,as you say to yourself" I KNEW that was going to happen"!The past is behind you,*it no longer holds any weight,*and that sentence is packed with meaning!In a sense, it's as if you've had your feet in blocks of cement,standing frozen, with the weight of the world on your shoulders.As that is released, you are free to run,and we suggest you run toward your future!arms outstretched,tears of joy streaming down your face,then leap....and fly!
So now that you've forgiven yourself and othersIt is time to forget.If your were to suddenly develop amnesiaand literally forget your pastall the slightsall your transgressionsthe many grudgesand years of hurt and shameThe board would be wiped clean,a fresh start,today!That would not be a bad thing at all!Can you imagine the freedom that would envelope you?If that part of your mind that holds all the many stories of hurt,that you carry around with youthe tapes you play of your uncaring father,a childhood of abuse,the illness you carry,things that were unfair,of lovers lost,and a heart that is wounded ,and a soul that seems silentIf all that ceased to exist,in an instant, you'd be reborn!A fresh slate, able to look at this incredible world with fresh eyes!To see people as who they really are,and not thru your filter of hurt.Every place and situation would stand on its own merit,not taking on the mantle of your past.There would be no more heavy heart.Instead the mind would no longer stand in the way of the soul,And the freedom you've only dreamt of would be yours!It is time to forget,leave the past behindit no longer existsEmbrace the amnesia and start fresh today!
Dance as if no one is watchinglaugh till you almost can't breathe,hug longer,kiss oftenshare for no reasonyour time,your heartbe free!
Now that you have forgiven those that have hurt you ;)It is critical that you forgive yourself.That is a much harder taskIt is usually easier to forgive others than it is to allow yourself to feel that same forgivenessIt has to do with trustYou have to forgive yourself for betraying your trust.When you feel you cannot trust your own guidancefor it has led you down dark and twisty pathsForgiveness will shine a new light on those areas of shame and regret.Forgive yourself for poor choices,they were made out of ignorance,If you knew better, and did it anyway, forgiveness does not come easilyFor your mind overrode the whisper of your soul,and you betrayed your best intentions,and feel you cannot be trustedwith your own well-being.Open your heart and dare to feel that hurtthat betrayaland then set it free!You would never withhold forgiveness from a child,even if that child had endangered itself after being warned.You would not continue to say "I told you so"You would not punish incessantlyYou would never remind it daily of its transgressionsYou would not lock it up, denying it the joy and freedom of lifeMost importantly, you would not withhold your love!Love yourself enough to forgive yourself,Love yourself like you would that childknowing that you know better now.It is okay to move with caution,little baby steps, to earn back your trustbut give yourself that giftIt will change your life.
Can you imagine the energy saved or better yetredirected and used in a positive life enhancing way,If you could just forgive your enemies?Honestly! the time wasted feeling slightedor demeaned, you can never get back!Why would you think it is better to dwell in the misery ofsomeone else's opinion of you, than to realize they are coming from an unenlightened perspective?When someone's energy is so intolerable that they can be called an enemy,Please, Please, see their ignorance of , and blindness to,who you REALLY are.They cannot see you for who you REALLY are, because they are lost themselvesand when someone is lost, you don't gaze at them with disdain,you assist them to the correct pathYour assistance in this situation, to yourself and the other,would be to take a step back, and realize this enemy, this brother,is one of your greatest teachers!To engage in enemy energy is to believe the lie that is told..about YOU!You know the truth,It is NOT your job to change their mind!that is a dead-end, it cannot be accomplished in the same energy as the conflict.To take the energy of hate, and let it enter your heart,does not affect the other as much as it does YOU!Hate is black and sticky, like tarit eats away at all the good memoriesuntil all your mind can conjure is the wrong that you think has been done to you,and that emotion feels like a vice inside your chest!Now, who is that hurting?If you can become indifferent to the words and actions of others,and stay centered in the knowledge that they are misguided,stay centered in your own joy of life,stay in gratitude for every hour of every day,for every person that crosses your path,and don't waste it with thoughts of division and vengeancethat is poison,don't drink the poisonforgive your enemiesthe sooner, the betterfor they will feel the shift your forgiveness of them facilitatesand THAT starts the energy of changing mindsand ripples out into the rest of the world
Being RelevantAs time continues to accelerateit is becoming critical that each and every personbecome relevantBy that we mean having a purpose outside your own self interests.It means finding the purpose for which you came forward into this life,and fulfilling its destinythat sounds big! We knowbut every cell of your being is called to its highest potential,so if you stay purely self-serving,you will have trouble.you will feel conflictedYou will feel it in your body.Living with relevance for the good of others and the wholewill unlock all the doors you think are impassable.As you uplift your energy, and live your purpose,things will fall into place in all other avenues of your life.Staying closely connected to who you REALLY are,directs you to the next stepand the next, and beyondDisconnect..and you will falterEach and every one of you plays such an important role in the coming daysStay on point with why you are here, and the place you hold.Tune into the energy,and show up!

A very important factor in quality of life,especially at this time of year, is the care you administer to yourselves.Be it a Sunday walk in the park,a massage,listening to the rain:)reading by the fire,lighting a beautifully scented candle,wearing cozy new pajamas!taking time in the mall to sit with a cup of coffeeor better yet, hot chocolate!listening to your favorite music while you wrap the giftsor dress the treebuying yourself one small thing at each stop(it can be as insignificant as a candy cane)This extreme self care MUST start with you!you cannot carry any kind of light into the world if your own is flickering from the effects of holiday exhaustionYou can accomplish so much more, if the breaks you give others, are extended to yourselves as wellGive yourself more time to get places, limit the number of tasks you hope to accomplish each daytry to sleep more and bettergive more hugs, more often!be determined to have a conscious holidaywhere you are present in each moment,and are able to wring every ounce of joy from each simple pleasure
Here is one I wrote about a month ago, before the blog, I've been reticent about posting it because the subject of death is so emotional,but this came thru the morning after I saw Marianne Williamson lecture on the subject, and I was reading about Anita Moorjani's NDE, so here was the clarity they gave me:DEATHyou were in high energy tonight!In the presence of an Avatar! (Marianne Williamson)she is an energy you know well, from this life and from HOMEshe was reminding you about getting comfortable and feeling the excitement around deathI know it is not appropriate to feel something like excitement around the subject of death, but it is the answer to erasing the feardeath is not the end, it is a brilliant transfer of energy from one realm to anotherlike turning the channelPeople get scared because this is all they know, this life, this body, this planetbut there is so much more out there!You are actually more trepidatious about being born, about being in a body, entering this time space realityit seems VERY limitingdeath is freedomit gives you wings to flyit unchains youyou think that you find surrender in deathbut surrendering to the fracturing of your energy and the smallness of your being at birth is the ultimate surrenderbelieve me! for the first few months you keep reminding yourself"I agreed to this"!it takes a lot of getting used to!death is a sweet breath of fresh airyou become whole, huge in scope, and magnificence!with undefined edgesand your hand on the face of GOD
On a personal note:I usually write first thing when I wake up. It's a nice way start to the day and I'm much clearer before I get up and get going.I usually can smell the coffee and hear the dog getting her breakfast, but this morning as I lay there, I heard the sound of rain on the roof, which on my list of top ten sounds in the world is right up there , with laughing babies and church bells!Here is how the exchange went with The Observer" Man, that rain sounds so nice... ok, gotta sit up and write"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LAY HERE AND LISTEN FOR AWHILE"we'll, okay , just for a minute, then I have to write and get to the gym"WHY DON'T YOU JUST ENJOY THIS TIME! LISTENING TO THE RAIN"yeah, that's so nice..and I'm so comfy in bed.....okay, gotta get up, times a wasting, if it gets too late I won't have time to get to the gym, before work"SO WHAT, WHY CAN'T YOU GIVE YOURSELF THESES FEW MINUTES DOING SOMETHING YOU LOVE! IT'S SOUL FOOD, AND ACTUALLY AS GOOD FOR YOU AS THE GYMSo you get the gist of it, they weren't yelling, by the way, they were very soft but firm. So when I do finally get up, and tune in to see what they have to say, they said to write about this experience, because EVERYONE will relate!So the moral to this story for me, is to take time to enjoy the small "soul food "moments, they are as important to our health as diet and exercise...and we, I, forget.Happy Friday!
Listening is an artit involves eye contactit involves heart contactit requires you to step outside your own mindand step into the consciousness of the speaker.Often as someone is speaking and you are listening,your thoughts are racing aheadforming the next questionpassing judgement on the wordsthinking of a story to tellor answers to give.Be STILLsee if you can set aside your own agendaclear your mind of preconceived ideasand really let the speaker's words sink inand penetrate your heart.Stop thinking about what you can addlisten for what they can give youListening is not a passive actit is a give and take, but...There is energy behind their wordslet it wash over you, to get their real meaning.Emotions may be triggeredthat's okay, stay engagedI hear youI see youand what you say matters to meThat is one of the greatest gifts you can give anotherMake THAT your new mantra!LISTEN
Worrying about things,the mundane and the supreme,can become such a bad habit!The mind is such a powerful tool!It can be used to conjure great magicand used to imagine doom.When you get in the habit of worryyou are using that glorious hard-working brain of yours toimagine the worst!It takes you down dark alleys of dread and gloom,picturing with great clarity, the worst case scenario.Even when things seem to be going your wayand you are in a state of calmyou can instantly turn it on a dime,when you touch that pool of worrythat seems so bottomlessYou think "Oh I feel good....but what about this?what if this is true?, what if this were to happen?"dipping your toe into that sea of doubtTHAT is a habit, and it does not serve you!it is your default setting in life!your "go to" place at night,the cloud that follows you wherever you go!Take the reins now, and change that!when you notice you have taken that dark pathand the habit of worry has got you by the throat,become conscious,choose another thoughtrealize you are in a dreamnone of the worry is realyou are using your imagination to conjure the worstreach for the best. then reach again!change that default setting to hopeSince neither scenario has yet to materialize,imagine the best, a thought that gives you peace,choose to be happy!It is a CHOICEmake a conscious effort each day to break the habit of worry
Never before in the history of man has the energy been so ripe,so full of possibilities!it may feel to the contrary, but I can assure it is not!Half a century ago the energy started to shift,which has allowed a larger and broader influx of lightto saturate this planet and its occupantsAlthough it has changed in its level and refinement,it has unceasingly altered your mortal landscapeEach day, with each breath and each waking momentyou grow closer to the promises that your memory holdsfrom the place of your originThere is within each man a seed of peace,It is wrapped in love,and holds the promise of things to comeAs each person allows this love to envelop themand then spread out into the world,That seed of peace, that nugget of truth,Is free to touch your heartsAnd when that happens, alchemy is presentthe two combine to form a greater force than each has separatelyThe promise is this,the awakening of peace,wrapped in lovepowered by the energy of the heart!This can move mountainsIt can work miraclesIt can end wars
Wherever you are, there I amMistake not, a baby's cry, as a sign of my absencenor the prisoners face, thru the barsWeep not at the outstretched beggar's handor the wounded soldier's sighI am thereCare not ,for the evil that you witness, in nature and in mancannot belay my abandonFor as sure as the spring follows the frost of winterand the sun chases the darkness of the night I am thereIn your most private momentsI sit beside youIn your grief, on your shoulders I rest my hands I touch your head as you kneel in prayerAs you walk in solitude, your hand I holdI am the witness of your lifeand wherever you are, I am there too
Take a deep breathand now anotherset yourself up to receive the energy of the dayAs the fog begins to roll away from your mind's eyeand any demons of the night are cast away by the emerging light,bask in the quiet stillness that begets peacefor without the stillness of the mind and the bodyyou cannot hope to establish true inner peaceTake a breath againand let the tension melt away , like warm candle wax,down your face and shoulders.and reset the energy from worry to peaceBreath againPull the string that unties the knot of frustrationwatch as it becomes one long strand that has an endLet the breath go into the shallows of your lungs like the high tide brings surges of fresh nutrients, to a still pool.Peace lies therein between the beats of a hummingbird's wingsthere lies incredible peaceIn the eye of the hurricane, incredible peaceIn the quiet falling of snow, seconds after the avalanche,Incredible peaceIncredibly
