Overwhelm? Chaos? Confusion?

Blog, September 30, 2020

Yes, all of that is present and more. The external chaos is on-going and thrusting us in the middle of continuous change. Which can be very tiring and leave one with a sense of overwhelm. Our “new normal” is a continuous changing “new normal”; which means it has not settled into a “normal” position that we know, and it won’t. The old normal is no more, we are in the midst of constructing our new normal and we’re writing the construction plans as we build. Definitely challenging!

The external chaos can manifest as stress, physical tiredness, mental confusion and emotional WTF!? Well, I’m pretty sure you all realize the external chaos is going to be with us awhile more. As I said back in June, birthing, on a world level, is measured in years not months. BUT, and this is a major “but”, we can be the eye of the storm, the quiet internal center that the chaos of the storm circles around. Maintaining a sense of inner center, peace, quiet is not easy as the the external chaos continually tries to pull us into the outer wall of the storm. We experience various degrees of insomnia; odd aches and itches in our body; mental and emotional fog, fatigue and many, many other personal manifestations as we try and stay centered.

The message from all this is beyond being good to yourself with self care. Self care is definitely important. Allow yourself to nap, rest, recoup whenever you need; eat what feels good for your body; do nothing if that’s what you are drawn to. Follow your heart calls as to the best way to give to yourself during these stressful times. But more is also needed; we must allow ourselves to LOVE ourselves. Liking ourselves is a good start, but it’s just a start. We need to really Love ourself. We’ve been raised in a society that does not encourage self love. If anything, self love can often be seen as egotistical or arrogant. I’m not talking about self-aggrandizement to make up for fears of inadequacy and boasting to others how great you are. I’m talking about appreciating yourself and what you’ve done in Life. We’re often telling ourselves, “I could have done better, more, smarter, etc” because that’s what’s been told to us. Well, time to change the record, tape or digital file to the important TRUTH that you’ve done a heckuva job or you wouldn’t be on Earth at this time. All of us here have a part to play in the Ascension/Change/Shift/Reset that is occurring on Gaia. We wouldn’t be here if we did not have some role to play no matter how small or large you see that role. Or you may not see any role at all…well your role could be just to be the best You that you can be.

Sure we all make errors, bad judgements, lousy decisions and mistakes. That’s all part of learning what works and doesn’t work. But those mis-steps, be they gross or minuscule, do not change the fact that you are worthy of Love. We all are worthy of our self love or, again, we wouldn’t be here in this time frame. All of us are created in Love whether we’re treated like that or not. So it’s time for us each to really consider Loving Self and treat our Self like we Love our Self. This return to Love allows us to weather this external chaos. To stand at the eye of the storm and breathe. Self Love allows us to heal ourselves; to calm ourselves and to respect ourselves. To quietly allow our Heart Smile to shine through our space and cast a bright, gentle light as we go forth. Yes, Life will probably continue to be vexing for awhile longer, but we don’t have to be vexed. We can allow ourselves to center, breathe, and smile and be ready when the storm clouds have left.

Self Love is a unique experience for each of us. Do you wish to protest?, work on getting out the vote?, help a neighbor?, plant a garden?, watch TV?; play with friends? What says Self Love to you? How do you wish to express it for yourself so that you feel your Love for your Self? I know it’s not belittling yourself for a mistake, or beating yourself up because you forgot something, or denigrating yourself in the hundreds of little and big ways we can. It’s forgiving yourself, changing your behavior, and moving forward with Love. So explore ways to Love your Self and allow yourself to find the right way for you.

P.S. I am reminded….We all can use a helping hand sometime so don’t forget to ask for assistance, support, encouragement, pats on the back, whatever needed from your spiritual connection(s). Be that the Force, Goddess, God, Archangels, Devas, Nature Spirits, Elementals, Avatars…whomever. They are nearer to us than ever, during this majorly trying times. They are eager to be of service, but they must be asked. Universal Law – They can’t interfere with our free will. So ask!

This Is Not An Easy Birth

Blog, June 1, 2020

It takes all our concentration to keep breathing and pushing to bring this New Earth into life. Pushing through the out-moded, out-dated and crumbling global systems is d-i-f-f-i-c-u-l-t. Health systems are having their inadequacies exposed with shortages and lack of preparedness. Governmental systems are clearly showing where greed, power and corruption have been festering and brewing and denying people basic human rights. Pollution fills our skies, oceans and the very air we breathe making our home, Gaia, an unclean home. Financial institutes are being exposed as ways and means to keep most of the world in debt servitude, not prosperity. Racism is being drug, kicking and screaming, fully into the light exposing it’s corrupted underbelly. Sexism can no longer be denied as 12 to 14 year old girls are forced into marriages or killed if they try to say no or shot if they want to go to school.

People are waking up to the complete absurdity of a world of plenty where starvation is rampant. Where we’re the water world in our galaxy and we have severe water pollution issue that we caused. Where 1% of the population controls 82% of the world’s riches so we have debt slavery. We are intelligent enough to set up systems of equality and fairness and balance for all, but are we emotionally mature enough to do it? This is where we are now in the birthing process; no time to wonder if it’s really what we want to do, not now when the baby’s moving down the birth canal. The old is being swept away, shoved away, burned away and moved aside. It is time for the new. This birthing process will take time, but do know that the process is underway and the ‘waters have broken’, so to speak.

What will the New Earth baby look like? What will it resemble? Well, the geography will be very similar, if not the same, but our systems on the surface will be different. We are now designing them and finding ways to bring them into fruition. If you’re reading this newsletter, you’re definitely one of the ones who’s awakened or in the process of doing so. We are the ones who are imagining a world of Peace, Love, Balance, Harmony, Freedom, Respect, Kindness, Wisdom, Compassion, among other attributes, as we go forward. Don’t doubt the power of imagination. Imaginal cells are the ones that create the incredible process of metamorphosis that occurs when a caterpillar changes into a butterfly.

As to the actual physical shape and form, well that’s being brought into manifestation as we speak. We’re all playing different roles in this birth scenario. Some of us are holding the door open and setting the Light and Energy to support the changes—The Openers. Others have the concepts, the ideas, the weaving skills to bring it together—The Weavers. Even more know how to work the soil, nurture the plant life—The Gardeners. And don’t forget the tinkerers, the ones who see the unusual connections and bring about new objects—The Inventors. The Nurturers who hold Love, Kindness, and Compassion foremost in their heart to help heal us through this passage. There are a million and one roles in play as we bring this birth about.

This month of June ushers in a lot of astrological energy. It begins on June 5th with a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius. The Moon is square Mars which means a lot of energy is available. And the moon being in Sagittarius focuses the energies on social justice and social freedoms. Will we use that energy for more clearing out of the old or use that energy for more helping with the birth? Probably a bit of both depending on our inclinations. Both are necessary and both can be done with Love and Compassion as we move from the old timelines of authoritarian aggression to heartfelt compassion. We then have a Summer Solstice on June 21st, as the sun moves from Gemini to Cancer with a Solar Eclipse. This opens a gateway of powerful energies coming thru Cancer. Picture a crab walking sideways as they do; this is the energy we will have upon us from this powerful eclipse. This push and pull energy gives us time to assess the environment, take calculated risks and still reach our goals. We’ve also got 6 planets in retrograde which brings in a lot of review energy over many of the areas of our life. And even though it’s not in June, a third lunar eclipse occurs on July 5th in Capricorn ushers in foundational energies. Energies that can be used for razing or building. Probably a little of both. If you didn’t already know, we are going to have a very busy, energetic summer. But that’s what usually happens with births, isn’t it?

I’m sure you all clearly realize that we are not awaiting change anymore. We are definitely in the midst of the Transition Zone. The baby’s coming whether we’re ready or not. They do have a habit of being born when they’re ready, don’t they? On a personal level the energies this month of June mean we’re going to have a lot of emotional ups and downs. Our energies will spike as the astrological energies emerge and we’ll be full of energy and action and/or anger and frustration; only to be followed with a dip bringing heartache and frustration and/or despair and depression. Allow our intuition to guide us and allow ourselves to listen to our heart to reach a place of harmony. When we’re in heartache allow it to be and breathe; when we’re in anger, step back and give yourself room to use the anger positively. And when you’re in joy, revel in it!

As I said, this is not an easy birth for any of us, but it is birth—both Global and Individual. And it will take us more time. World birth is measured in years, not months. As there is with any baby—there’s gonna be some crying and mess, but there’ll also be smiles and giggles that are full of Love. We’ve got to clean up the messes and focus on the joy.

Freak-Outs Allowed

Blog, March 20, 2020

I know you all know about staying centered, calm, ‘in your happy place’, breathing and the like, when hit with fear, anxiety, angst and worry. You wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t aware of that. However, we are in very unusual times. In fact, times that we have not been in before, when the entire world is hitting ‘pause’ as the corona virus travels through.

This fear of a viral disease, that has no known cure at this time, is definitely causing the Collective Consciousness of humankind to reverberate with panic, terror, WTF, and serious hand-wringing. So I think that a freak-out now and then is probably to be expected from all of us at one time or another. Understanding that emotional energy pushing on us by our Collective Consciousness can trigger our own emotional buttons in the face of this latest crises. I figure a scream or two into a pillow, wild full out dancing, serious crying in the shower – whatever SAFE way you have of having your freak-out or release of energy – will allow you space to find your center, to meditate, to find your ‘happy place’ within, and relax again.

Since my last newsletter/blog on January 8th the world has had many tense moments: scare of World War III; Kobe’s death; impeachment travesty; and now corona virus, to name a few. Our worries, fears, and concerns have steadily been ramping up since the beginning of 2020. Grounding, breathing exercises, meditations, yoga, and other energy calming rituals have really come in handy when going through these times and they still are of utmost importance. I just want to emphasize the need to be good to yourself and realize that you may feel the need of a mini freak-out now and then to help you maintain your balance. Don’t berate yourself if you’re not able to hold it together every moment, allow yourself some room to re-group and try again.

This too shall pass as all does as we traverse this Ascension Pathway. I do know that world upheaval is occurring on many levels. As you all know, we’ve made a pretty good mess of the world so it’s not surprising that this chaotic upheaval occurs world-wide with a virus.

This upheaval means we have to figure out our best way out of this mess, and we are. We’re using what tools we have with social distancing, washing our hands, and sheltering in place. It’s a different way of addressing a threat, one that’s new to the world. No attacking, or marching or taking up arms to fight an enemy. This fight uses restraint and calmness to overcome the enemy. Definitely a new way to fight, by not fighting. Sounds kind of Zen, doesn’t it? We must go within and find our Higher Self, our I AM Presence, our God Spark, our connection to the God of Our Heart and TRUST our Inner Guidance. We all have it within us to hear and heed our Inner Light, our Spiritual Intuition. It is always there for us and after a mini freak-out or two it’s still there, waiting for us to hear our message.

I know the message will be one of compassion, love and kindness in whatever form that needs to take for you. Yes there is death, pain, cries and fear, but there is also life, compassion, smiles and love. Allow yourself to sit down for a moment and regain your composure and then follow your heart. (AND, I’m pretty sure the message will not direct you to hoard toilet paper.)

During these stressful times remember to be kind to yourself and others. Allow others to have their stressful moments also, but we can all reset ourselves back to balance. When in a state of balance we can make better choices (like not needing a pallet of toilet paper, maybe only 1 or 2 packages at a time!?). Buddha has said, ‘if you light a light for someone else it will also brighten your path’ and to paraphrase that ‘if you leave enough toilet paper for your fellow man you will not have to step in their mess’.

We can all push RESET for a kinder, gentler, compassionate, more loving world!

Normal?

Blog, January 8, 2020

Ain’t Nothin’ Been ‘Normal’ For A Long Long Time

As we enter into 2020 let us not yearn for things to be ‘back to normal’ for earth has not been ‘normal’ for a very long time. This is why the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn on January 12th is playing such a big role in our lives. Outdated realties are being dissolved and destroyed and a new reality is coming into our lives. A reality that can better sustain life and growth with a balance that benefits all of humankind. It is most uncomfortable on many levels, but it is most necessary for us to reach our higher good as humans.

We have been in an era dominated by false truths which has made it very difficult to find someone or something to trust. Don’t let the times convince you that kindness, integrity and honesty don’t exist, because they do! Ask yourself what really matters. Is it necessary to have the most money, the most power and winning at all costs or to become the best possible version of ourselves? Doing what feels right to you…helping others, which in turn helps yourself could a better fit. The astrological energies are asking us to take responsibility for our negative side; to eliminate what’s selfish or egotistical about our goals. The Tumultuous Teens (TT), 2013 to 2019, have thankfully come to an end. We have been shaken, stirred, and turned upside down as we have witnessed so very many changes in such a short period of time. We have the ability and the Love and Light within each of us to create our world.

How shall we picture our next 10 years? With the onset of 2020 we stand on the brink of a world teetering with ecological, governmental, financial, religious and societal imbalances. The TT’s brought all that to light with astonishing clarity. But teetering means we have the possibility of achieving a balance; a sense of rightness; a sense of equanimity for all the citizens of our world.

Astrology

The main astrological energies we have to deal with in 2020 are:

1. The Saturn/Pluto Conjunction with is exact January 12th and starts a new 33 year cycle. Often the build up to a major conjunction can feel more stressful than the actual conjunction. After the 12th, the flow of energy will allow us to know what to do with the energy.

2. The Jupiter/Pluto conjunction is exact on April 5th, then June 30th and again on November 12th and heralds a new 13 year cycle. (It goes retrograde a bit, then direct). This conjunction will find us digging deep into our passions to build our future.

3. Saturn/Jupiter conjunction is exact on December 21st with a new 20 year cycle. More energy of ‘out with the old’ (Saturn) and ‘in with the new’ (Jupiter). Building our future with ‘fresh eyes’.

We can be the change we want to happen. Look at what some of the positive deeds we accomplished in 2019.

Science & Medicine

Blind People’s Vision Restored

Scottish researchers have found that stem cells from non-living donors have been used to restore vision in blind people. Some were even able to read again after having severe macular degeneration.

Dementia Reversal

Drug found to reverse dementia in mice by reducing brain inflammation. University of California, Berkeley researchers are suggesting that targeting brain inflammation may reverse dementia

Gut Microbiota May Help Alleviate Anxiety

As many as a third of us may be affected by anxiety symptoms during our lifetime. The trillions of microorganisms in our gut provide essential inflammatory mediators, nutrients and vitamins. This can help regulate brain function through the ‘gut-brain axis.

Advance in Cancer Treatment

Pancreatic cancer is one of your most deadly forms of cancer. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have found a small molecule that triggers the self-destruction of pancreatic cancer cells. Research, done on mice, reduced the number of cancer cells in developed tumors by 90%.

Electricity From Your Window Blinds

An origami-inspired solar panel by Soligami, has designed a solar panel that works similar to shutter blinds. This could mean that urban residences, such as apartments, can use their windows as a source of electricity.

Cleaning the Beaches

Canadian engineering students have invented the Hoopla One. This is a massive vacuum cleaner that sucks up micro plastics from the beach, but leaves the sand.

Robotic Arm Controlled by Mind

Carnegie Mellon University in collaboration with the University of Minnesota have developed a robotic arm that can continually track a computer cursor controlled by one’s thoughts. This has the possibility of benefitting so many paralyzed patients.

You can find more complete stories about each of these findings and much more at the wonderful website Goodnewsnetwork..

There are always medical and scientific findings that show progress every year, but I still see these as cause for hope for all of us. But if you need more, how about finding everyday messages of support and positivity in social media? It’s not all selfies and trolls, as evidenced by the following 17 posts from Buzzfeed.com that show support and appreciation for another’s point of view:

Be courageous, and don’t let yourself be discouraged. Each and everyone of us can make a positive impact in the world. Astrological energies during 2020 are offering more and more opportunities for lasting meaningful changes in all our lives.

Love, Light & Beauty
