SISTERHOOD

9/6/2019

"Every woman has a past. Some were physically abused. Some had violent parents. Some had pubertal issues. Some had sexual abuse as a child from their own family members. Some had messed up love stories. Some had been forced into sex in the name of love. Some had been drugged. Some were date raped. Some had been viciously photographed on bed. Some had been blackmailed by their ex-boyfriend. Some were in an abusive relationship. Some had menstrual problems. Some had a broken family. Some had a divorce. Some had an obesity issue. Some had financial droughts. Some had drug or alcohol addiction. Some had a few unsuccessful suicide attempts.

If you see a woman, who went through any of these but had already wiped her tears, tied her hair up, masked her sorrows with a divine smile, stood tall and strong, started walking towards her future because she still has some hope left inside her and has not given up on the concept of love that still exists in this world, do not stab her with her past. Do not confront her. Do not slap her with more abuse. Give way for her and walk beside her. May be hold her hands and walk for a while. You'll know how sweet that soul is and how strong her hopes are! You'll be amazed at how she carries herself after all her energy has been sucked out.

She need not always be only the woman next door or from a different home. She could be your own friend, your own sister, your own girlfriend, your own wife, even may be your own mother.
Do not judge her by her past. Gift her the peaceful future that she deserves. Hold her hands against the world, which knows only to judge. Give her the love that she always yearned for."

RECOVERY

9/3/2019

First become alone.
First start enjoying yourself.
First love yourself.
First become so authentically happy
that if nobody comes it doesn’t matter;
you are full, overflowing.
If nobody knocks at your door
it is perfectly okay --
YOU are not missing.
You are not waiting for somebody to come
and knock at the door.
You are at home.
If somebody comes, good, beautiful.
If nobody comes,
that too is beautiful and good.
THEN move into relationship.
Now you move like a master,
not like a beggar.
Now you move like an emperor,
not like a beggar.
And the person who has lived
in his aloneness
will always be attracted to another person
who is also living his aloneness beautifully,
because the same attracts the same.
When two masters meet --
masters of their being,
of their aloneness --
happiness is not just added,
it is multiplied.
It becomes a tremendous
Phenomenon of celebration.
And they don’t exploit,
they share.
They don’t use each other.
Rather, on the contrary,
they both become one and
enjoy the existence that
surrounds them.

MAJOR ENERGY SHIFT

8/1/2019

MAJOR ENERGY SHIFT July 30 - Aug 1 2019

A Major Shift is here! You will no longer tolerate things you allowed in the past. It is now time for a brand new beginning.
Since ancient times entities that light up the skies have held spiritual meaning, as they were believed to be divine messengers sent from the cosmos.

Every particle of light we see is made up from photons, which are believed to hold multi-dimensional energy travelling through space containing data and information possibly from millions of years ago.

When we sense and decode the messages hidden within light particles, we then open up to the highest level of consciousness, awakening, and enlightenment. This process is known as ascension, as we transcend the physical state and communicate with the non-physical by absorbing and channeling highly charged energy through our chakras.

Metaphysical is a word used to describe life-force energy that is not physical; therefore, it is not always possible to see it. Unfortunately, when we rely only on our five senses, we miss out on a huge part of our human experience, as non-visible energy is vital, intuitive life-force energy, full of wisdom and knowledge that can guide and transform our lives.

Cosmic events are embraced and celebrated by many as periods of spiritual awakening or cleansing; those who are highly sensitive to energy often notice that whenever something occurs close by in the cosmos, they experience enhanced intuition, vivid dreams, premonitions, heightened emotions , and their physical body feels as though it is vibrating highly. This may cause them to feel irritable or fatigued due to the energy shift occurring, which is believed to result in cellular changes and DNA upgrades.
When we perceive ourselves as energetic beings of light with no separation or limitations, our energy is elevated immensely, and we gain access to infinite possibilities and opportunities.

One of the main things we notice during an energy shift is that we start to look for deeper meaning in our lives, and the reason for this is that we are pushed to recognize our mission here on planet Earth. We also find that we are put in situations where we are forced to discern whether our intentions and motivations are authentic, and if we are in alignment.

Even if we have already decided upon the course of action we need to take to achieve our soul’s purpose, cosmic events shake us up so that anything that is not aligned with our plans falls away, and we can go on to be lighter and freer in all that we do.
This is often why people feel anxious and irritated during solar storms, full moons, eclipses, planetary movements, and meteor showers—as a window, known as a portal, opens up so that we see our lives and those around us with clarity, and we particularly focus on our intimate relationships. Whenever there is cosmic activity, the illusions fade away and the masks that people wear come off, so we are able to see our entire existence clearly—and sometimes it is not a pretty sight. However, this offers us the opportunity to detox and clear out anything or anyone that is harmful, or that holds us back.

We are about to experience the peak of the Capricornids and Delta Aquariids meteor showers. It is believed that shooting stars (which are visible as meteor showers) have metaphysical energy that contains a vast amount of data, dating back millions of years. Some also believe that the light we see is an angelic entity from a higher dimension that travels toward our planet at immensely high speed. This is the reason the phrase “wish upon a star” is used, as it is thought that when we make contact with a travelling star (angel), our consciousness interacts with its powerful metaphysical energy; thus, our wish will come true.
Cosmically, everything happens in sequences, and we are currently ending one of these sequences, the eclipse cycle, and beginning a new one with the “Black” New Moon. This kicks off the first of 3 Super Moons in a row —known as a super moon triad.

Unlike regular moon energy, in which the energy lasts for a few days, the highly charged, intense, life-altering energy of this trio will be felt pretty much consistently from this super moon until the super moon at the end of September. Those who are highly sensitive to energy will already have been sensing the intensity in the atmosphere and will have noticed that although there have been high and low periods, the intensity has remained at a peak.
During super moon triads masses of luminous energy infiltrate Earth’s atmosphere—and absorbing it can be over-stimulating, which may make us feel emotional, drained, and fatigued. The universe is constantly communicating with us by offering synchronicities, signs, symbols, and offering subliminal messages, which we can decode to enhance our earthly experience.

When we receive this information our senses are alerted, and we notice them as goosebumps, déjà vu, chills, shivers, or through visions and dreams. We might also sense and feel energy such as orbs, sparks or flashes of light, noticing energy warming the palms of hands.

It is also common for people from our past reappear, so we have the chance to finally learn a valuable lesson, to make amends, or to forgive and release the past once and for all.
We are also now entering a solar storm, due to a coronal hole on the sun. Research has found that Geomagnetic Storms can cause us to experience Huge Energy Shifts, as our human Electromagnetic field absorbs incoming celestial elements – which can alter and transform us at Cellular Level.

During Solar Storms, masses of luminous energy infiltrate Earth’s atmosphere, and this can feel overstimulating; so we may notice our energy, as well as the energy of the people around us, feels super intense, as though everyone is more irritable, emotional, anxious, fatigued, spacey, or stressed out than normal.

Solar Storms are known to desynchronize our circadian rhythm (our internal biological clock that controls our sleep and wake times.) This is due to our Pineal Gland being affected by Electromagnetic Energy, producing an increase in Melatonin — thus disturbing our sleep and throwing our intuition and inherent orientation out of sync. Therefore, we may suffer from disrupted sleep patterns, exhaustion, and vivid dreams during a solar storm, and we also may have enhanced intuition and psychic awareness.
Our Pineal Gland, also known as our “third eye” senses Light and is associated with Enlightenment. It is believed to enhance Psychic Awareness, Activate Consciousness, and be the connection between the Physical and Spiritual world. When our third eye is fully open, we have the ability to see things not normally visible to the naked eye, such as past and future events, thought forms, energy, and spirits.

Common symptoms people experience during Energy Shifts
Pressure headaches
Feeling out of sorts, or unbalanced
Flushes
Dizziness, nausea
Exhaustion
Ear ringing
Difficulty focusing
Confusion, foggy mind, forgetful
Temporarily misplacing items
Disturbed sleep patterns
Anxiety, stress, irritability, sadness
Nervousness, worry, fear
Overwhelm
Heightened awareness, enhanced intuition, insights that seem to appear from ‘nowhere’
Difficulty tracking time (time either feels too slow or at great speed)
Noticing synchronicities, i.e. certain number patterns reappearing
Premonitions, intense dreams or nightmares
Struggles with communication
Electronic devices malfunctioning

The reason for much of the above is that our personal vibration is on a frequency that is much lower than the vibration of the new energy incoming from the Sun / Universe.
To benefit from the Energy Shift and lift our vibration so that we raise our Consciousness Awareness and ease any negative symptoms, we can do the following:

Drink plenty of filtered water (not tap water).
Take saltwater baths.
Meditate and remain aware of recurring thoughts and feelings.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Spend time in Nature.
Consume high vibrational foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
Remind yourself that everything in the universe is made up of energy and that conscious thought and intention can instantly alter how we think and feel.
Breathe deeply, forgive, release, and surrender.
Practice Kindness, Compassion, Acceptance, and Empathy.
Remain aware of recurring thoughts and feelings.
When possible, temporarily disconnect from technology, and anything that feels energetically toxic or draining.
Listening to Binaural Beats can really help balance and Cleanse Energy Fields during Space Storms.

What to expect during an Energy Shift
Heightened Emotions — Intuition & Sensitivity,
Nostalgia — Memories
The Past Resurfacing
Restlessness
Fatigue
Strange Dreams / Nightmares

Overall, we are receiving an opportunity for major personal transformation—to remove blockages and old patterns, to realise and manifest our purpose, and to expand our conscious awareness. If we are willing to actively attune and integrate this cosmic energy, instead of fearfully resisting it—and if we are able to remain positive and open so that we adapt at a fast pace to the constant changes taking place—we can take advantage of this opportunity.

AGING AND SEA GLASS

7/8/2019

"I want to age like sea glass.
Smoothed by tides
but not broken.
I want my hard edges to soften.
I want to ride the waves
and go with the flow.
I want to catch a wave
and let it carry me
to where I belong.
I want to be picked up
and held gently by
those who delight in my
well earned patina and
appreciate the changes I went
through to achieve the beauty.
I want to enjoy the journey
and always remember that if
you give the ocean something
breakable it will turn it into
something beautiful.
I want to age like sea glass."

I WANT TO KNOW …..

6/2/2019

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for LOVE
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your Moon…
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with Wildness!
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own Soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.” It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

3/29/2019

"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

"I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

"The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you

"I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Oh, yeah...…"

I’m made of
water
clay
bits of stone
and bone
wisps of hair
and a little despair
I’m fueled
with fire
elemental
soulfully
sentimental
I breathe
with the trees
I dream
and scheme
I make my start
and my art
from the heart
and after a fashion
express my passion
‘cause if I don’t
grab onto
the now
I miss out
on living
and giving
forgiving
and thanksgiving
I live in
this sea
of emotion
soft hands
of devotion
wrapped
in rays
of the rainbow
sun and moon
I’m not immune
to the trials
and trivialities
before you judge
just what
you’re seein’ in me
try walkin’ a mile
in my shoes
and
I’ll walk in yours
let’s open some doors
together
see each other
for real
no longer conceal
let’s just heal
ourselves
stand tall
for once
and for all.

THE WISE WOMAN

9/14/2018

"I knew a Wise Woman
And she said to me
That the river would mold me
And the wild wind would cool me
That the trickster the coyote
He would fool me
That father Sun would warm me
Mother Earth would clothe me
Grandmother Moon would greet me
And of the old ways she would teach me
Wise woman, she told me
To always walk lightly
Tread the earth ever gently
Lovingly so preciously
And take from her sparingly
She said, to share with others
What you have learned from me
Be still and breathe, ever patiently
For the web of life
Has woven what is to be
But you must still chose
Your own path, you will see
And lastly, the wise woman said to me
To listen to the wise one
That dwells within me
To walk my path in balance
Is too be free
More than just words
So mote it be"...

HAVE THE COURAGE

9/9/2018

Have the courage.
Have the courage to try.
Have the courage to be you, who you really are.
Have the courage to piss people off by making choices that align with your heart.
Hell, have the courage to follow your heart.
Have the courage to love.
To hope.
To believe in forever.
Have the courage to leave masks behind.
To say screw make-up and beauty products that convince you you’re flawed.
To be real, messy, fleshy, dirty and absolutely delicious.
Have the courage to dismiss labels and styles and to look beyond appearances to souls.
Have the courage to live a life you love.
Really.
To say no. And really mean it.
To not apologize, justify or even offer to make up for it.
Just No.
Have the courage to leave behind the script for normalcy and not feel guilt because it never felt like it fit.
Have the courage to call out fakeness.
The courage to ask for what you need and to walk away from anyone that can’t offer you just that.
Have the courage to believe in the once in a lifetime kind of love.
Have the courage to have confidence in yourself and dreams.
In your visions and beliefs.
In the life YOU want to live.
Because I promise you there’s no gold medal at the end of all this for following the rules of men.
For being or living how we’re supposed to.
How others think we should.
So have the courage...
The courage to truly live.
