WE THINK ABOUT MONEY THESE DAY, BUT WHERE IS LOVE?

2012-02-07T15:21:00.002-05:00

There's nothing wrong with celebrating Valentine's Day. I'm in favor of it. But like other holiday's, it comes with pressure to give to others by spending money and the feeling that, somehow, you fall short if you don't. Some 150 million Valentine's Day
cards are sent annually, making this day the second most popular card-sending holiday, after Christmas.

I can remember making Valentine's Day cards when I was a child, with anticipation of exchanging them with my latest crush, or receiving a card from a mystery Valentine's which was incredibibly exciting. There was a heartfelt innocence about all that as I and others gravitated toward our first relationships, giggling and blushing, with few cares in the world. We did not try to control anything but, what was believed to be real...was real! The idea that Valentine's Day was big business and getting bigger every year was far, far away in another galaxy.

Flash forward to today and the consuming thoughts of having more money, needing more money, not having enough money, praying for it, scraping by, the energy we have attached to the man made paper dollar has certainly shifted our feelings of love and taken away some of the thrills and fun that could always lift our spirits in days gone by. It has been said that
"money is the root of all evil," and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that so much focus on it has taken away some of the simple pleasures of life and love.
"MONEY, IN SHORT, IS THE MOTHER OF ALL CONSPIRACIES. In contrast to that, God's direction--Universal Law---is very simple: LOVE IS EVERYTHING.

Love is the chemical cocktail of the laws of attraction. Maybe it doesn't pay the bills but it can sure make life worth living in ways that money never will. Our quality of life isn't all about money and our fixation on the marketplace pales in comparison to the exchange of the energy of LOVE. Giving and receiving it enriches us, fills us with light and happiness and boosts power, spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. It is the key ingredient in the practice of manifestation. So, while there's nothing wrong with Valentine's Day, why do we set aside only one day to express our love? Saying ''I LOVE YOU" to someone everyday, and meaning it, doesn't cost a penny and moves a powerful energy in your life, more powerful than anything in the Universe.

*To all my clients who support my column
My words have not always been solemn
Sometime light, sometimes dark, their true meaning,
is meant to clear your mind and fill your heart
So...in honor of this Valentine's Day, I'm hoping that
LOVE DOES COME YOUR WAY~~~~ everyday...

"Young love is a flame, very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.
The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable."

---Henry Ward Beecher

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR EACH SUN SIGN

2012-01-10T12:59:00.003-05:00

As we set about a New Year, we can look forward to the heavens for what will be the primary focuses in our lives. So many factors, including the full placement of planets at the time of your birth and your numerological patterns will give you specific courses, but here are some very general things to be on the lookout for:

ARIES.......... Whether certain energies you feel are owed to you from past employment or opportunities you've been denied, you are not so patient currently. The wait for money shall come to a profitable end this year. Your talents will finally start to be recognized and more opportunities will open as a result. You will still have to be a good salesperson, doing what it takes to get these prizes, and satisfaction in your life. Travel associated with career and fun time will be highlighted this year as well. It is the birthday of self-reliance.

TAURUS......You, being a natural caretaker, this year, will focus on long term finances and children.(as well as the other people you help). Specifically, it boils down to being concerned with you, your own stability, future and even happiness. Certain health issues are moving past you as well giving you more room to heal and grow with your destiny to make the world a happier and more productive place. Your honesty shall be rewarded and to understand your inner conflicts better. You got it all!

GEMINI......Intelligent, quick-witted Gemini's will shift more from their headiness to reflect more on their emotional side. This is a new feeling and sensation for many of you as emotions slow down the decision making speed you are known for, but, it will be rewarding. You now must be patient for development during this healing time from relationships. Boosting finances are the Headlines but being fun-filled, the action can slow down so you can take care of all your obligations and people who need you. Perhaps, you will find out what you want but glamour, magic and flair will come to any enterprise you are involved in.

CANCER......You are always going through a maddening lifestyle with emotional issues dealing with self-inflicted confusion and perhaps the feelings of lost opportunities. Now is the time to make a decision to shift away from these emotional issues (you really do know better) and just focus on your immediate future as you do know what you want. Do not let your insecurities slow you down. Don't self medicate.as drinking, drugs overeating or with overspending as it dulls the senses and reinforces your insecurities. However, this is a budding year for happy relationships, career and new developments. Start taking control of what you can control. Arguments with family members will start to subside because you stop fighting. Careful that your energetic fortitude does not burn you out..

LEO..........Get out of thinking about the past and how great it was and could have been. Ambition will emerge once again as career and finances shall improve with new thinking. Don't complicate matters. In fact it's a good time to get more training or certification. Train for new trends and new doors will open. You can be the biggest powerhouse in the world as you have so many talents. Get your mojo going again and head out!! You are going to act, direct and scriptwrite your future with your energetic personality to take you to the top of your game.

VIRGO......You always do everything step by step. You won't listen to anyone and take a shortcut on anything. Oh well, play your own game but....have you decided you had enough?
Stop worrying about every single thing and move on making bigger moves to happiness without wanting to be the shadow behind others. Taking orders is what you hate. So, when you come out to shine....you will say to yourself, How did I ever get this way and put myself in this position.
Creating more abundance for yourself will open your heart to romance as it is knocking.

LIBRA........You are so good at thinking and tiring yourself, now is the time to work out and through what's on your mind. Take care of legal matters, insurances and the practical. You will stop analyzing and start applying yourself to the basics at hand. You will find yourself accomplishing more by making fine adjustments than by weighing every option. Travels, music and artsy things are good for your lifestyle so stop complaining. You have the birthday of the "overseer". Your destiny is to institute practical and innovative strategies and you could be a born leader.

SCORPIO.....Overwhelmed?? Don't want to be where you were and are? Survival matters and finances are the main concerns (also health issues and fatigue) Starting your new future this year takes more planning but it shall come in the industry you enjoy working in.
Feeling a sense of romance will lift your spirits immensely and arouse your inner self to know your worth. Just get into feeling sexy again.

SAGITTARIUS....Are you ridding yourself of some things you have put great energy or your resources towards? Some relationships are leaving because your vibrations are not matching up any longer. It is more of a feeling of outgrowing something. Sag's are great teachers as well as problem solvers and mostly their cheerful optimism makes them firm believers that every story has a happy ending. That's not always true, so stop trying to make it so. Many of your pressures will end mid-year. Make yourself feel good and party with people you like hanging with. It's not hard to do cause it seems there's a party anywhere a Sag is!

CAPRICORN.....You too are born caretakers with family, financial and business matters. You are the Wall Street Blue Chips in the skies. This year you will gain deeper insights of how your life has changed and even your priorities. Coming through immense stress, financial and other things, do not let it affect your health with things like high blood pressure or mental stress. This year shall be the start to new, great and different beginnings. (perhaps a mystery as it fills in?)
Don't worry as there is a refreshing new spin coming your way. However, remain prudent in money matters as career situations change. You can become a great visionary..so believe in yoursef~

AQUARIUS......You have allowed guilt and insecurity to get in the way of true happiness. Stop worrying about your health as stress just makes things worse . Stop making heroes out of your old friends. You will be seeing them for who they are but don't let their shortcomings drag you down. Quality time will improve and reset your energies in a good place. Worry about family situations will diminish and new people will come into your life in-line with your true energy.
Your creative mind will flourish especially when you work alone. You are a charmer and born technician of sorts but creative determination this year could help you begin to leap over the top.

PISCES.........You are exhausted with your responsibilities and old pressures piling up. Lay back now as richer, fuller days are ahead. You shall begin seeing acknowledgement of your expertise, which has been overdue. The doors of greater purpose and fulfillment are opening. You're re-writing the past and getting ready for today's script. Keep things simple for now as you are currently seeking balance your inner and outer world. Seize the new opportunities that shall come your way.
Somehow your family members will survive without your input or help.

CARRY ON PEOPLE, WE ARE ALL FEELING THE CHANGE OF NEW ENERGIES COMING OUR WAY..
FORWARD HO!

Predictions for 2012

2012-01-02T12:19:00.001-05:00

In "All about Eve", Bette Davis said, Fasten your seat belts, we're in for a bumpy ride" and that seems to be the same tone for 2012. Though much has been said about 2012 being the year of Armageddon, the world will not end in fiery destruction. We have however, reached the completion of a celestial cycle, 26,000 years in the making. Being at this zero point, the world is perched to take a new direction, either for the better or the worse.

The overriding message is to be aware, prepared and involved in bringing forth a new era that will last for generations. The turmoil being experienced globally is all part of this pattern. It seems as though nature itself is trying to find balance in this most unique time. Yes, it will be about balance and harmonizing our lives and finding new ventures and new roads and changing patterns to cross.

The year will be marked by discovery as many secrets and truths, both good and bad, will come into light. This will force us to re-examine our long held views on government and systems. Indeed, there may even be some consideration of re-writing our own Constitution in the years 2015 and 2016. Currently, our government is moving to taking over health care and the distribution of pharmaceuticals and this will be the topic of many heated arguments. The stock market and banking systems will continue on a spiky ride, as balancing global markets and again the hidden truths of the past will come into light. We will see more and many self start-up businesses, popping up all over the world while several large corporations will also merge. The U.S. MUST get a handle on these economic situations, or things will get grim financially by 2015

Corporations, not just the government will take over the poorer populace and we will have to live under their rules and regulations. Many banks can fail as new government regulations have to happen. Will we be led to follow a new banking system? hmm

The outlook for the upcoming election can look at first very close especially at the time of this writing, but President Obama has good chance of a second term . Either way, the candidate with the most active supporters will prevail and how they present themselves on T.V.

On a more positive note, the revelation of truths will witness the development of more effective drugs for serious illnesses like Cancer and more in the way of future technology.

The "Tea Party" movement, the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, and the Internet communities being formed are leading indicators of a trend to more protesting and assembly. People are uncomfortable and want a change, even though it's hard for them to meld many different requests into one battle cry. These combined voices is expression of people feeling the influence this global energy which is the forefront of a new epoch. A change in consciousness will blow peoples mind not through revolution but ideology as group consciousness will shift into light, love, the gathering of harmony and truths. Peoples new visions will clear as the veil they use to see through was an illusion. So, with just our strengths to ride all this corruption through, we are raising our frequencies to a higher dimension to escape the worlds situations. Why don't you lift your energies by believing YOU can create your own passage through these times by remaining focased on your own wishes and not of earthly events?? The media and what they write and say on T.V. can keep you grounded in fear.

We are experiencing as well the shifting of earths energies. We have seen increased and stronger earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions and there shall be more before mid-year. The shifting of the ground beneath effects electromagnetic fields which seems to be felt by all. We are much like migratory flock animals, seeming to be driven by need to assemble and change. The weather will be changeable and it seems that the most severe storms will wait until until February and March. We have seen the power is effected and response time for a cash strapped government, so the advise here is as it is in every aspect of your life. BE PREPARED! Keep extra Batteries, flashlights and cash handy (ATM'S and gas pumps don't work in a power outage) Keep non perishables, easy to prepare foods; like rice, tuna, cereals and peanut butter on hand. Just think of what you would do if you were like the Hurricane Irene victims left without power for nearly 10 days.

The economy and perhaps the seeking of comfort is driving more people to return to the parent's homes or create new communal style living arrangements. This is creating more homes on the market and a great opportunity for home buyers in mid-spring and summer.

It is also due in part to shifting earth energies. We have seen increased and stronger earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and there will be more, especially in South America. The shifting of the ground beneath, effects electromagnetic fields which seems to be felt instinctively by all. We are much like migratory flock animals, seeming to be driven by the need to assemble and change.

The weather will be changeable and it seems that most severe storms will wait until February and March. We have seen the way power is effective and response time for a cash strapped government, so the here is as it in every aspect of your life. BE PREPARED! Keep extra batteries and flashlights on hand. Keep cash handy, (AT M's and gas pumps do not work during a power outage) Keep non perishable, easy to prepare foods, like rice, tuna, cereal, and peanut butter on hand. What would you do if you were like the Hurricane Irene victims, left without power for nearly 10 days.

There is the clear opportunity for a positive new beginning, but just like cleaning out the garage, it won't come without a few aches and pains. The Bible says the meek shall inherit the earth and it will be the job of all the small voices to join together. Remember Horton Hears a Who? Their world was about to be boiled in oil, but was saved when they put their differences aside and joined forces. Remain alert, follow your heart, and realize that all this started 26,000 years ago, so don't expect to have it all make sense.

Disclaimer: The above is merely my own feelings and thoughts and "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU"..

MY HOLIDAY MIRACLE

2011-12-19T19:52:00.004-05:00

This feels like the right time to share a couple of personal stories about two of my grandchildren. The holidays being upon us, closing out the year and welcoming a new one, are part of the reason. Another reason is that many clients have been telling me about loved ones being sick and dying. We all cry many tears when dealing with our feelings about the departed, and I tell my clients that it's much more difficult to be the one left behind. For those who are moving on, there is joy when they fully enter into their transition. My clients ask a lot of questions in their search for comfort. Are they alright? Are they aware that we love them? Can they see or hear us where they are?

Sometime after my husband died and my granddaughter was about two- years- old, my daughter and I took her to lunch at Friendly's Restaurant. As were leaving, she was given a few balloons to take home. The window was open in the back of the car where she was strapped into her car seat, and the balloons got blown out of the window. We watched them floating up into the sky and as my granddaughter wiped her tears away, she said: "That's okay mommy, don't worry, grandpa is here and he now has the toys I sent him." My jaw dropped because she had never met her grandfather. He had died before she was born. And then I smiled at how beautiful these connections can be.

The other story is recent, and now I think of it as MY HOLIDAY MIRACLE. My nine-year-old grandson was given an assignment to write a school paper about the most unforgettable thing that ever happened to him and something he would never forget as long as he lived. This is what he wrote:

WHEN I SAW MY GRANDPA'S SPIRIT

"One day when I was 3 years old, I just moved into my new house. My Mom and Dad were still unpacking. I was sitting in my den, watching "Dora the Explorer."
It was the middle of the episode. Right then I looked to my right and saw my dead Grandpa's spirit looking right at me. My heart was racing. It was probably beating 20 times per second. I looked at him for 3 seconds and then screamed as loud as I could. I ran as fast as I could and think I never ran faster in my life. Once I got to my Mom, I said, I saw someone. Come look, there is a man in the den.

Later on my Mom showed me pictures and she showed me a picture of my dead Grandfather. I was yelling..yes, yes, that's him !

After that my Mom told me about how he died before I was born. He was a baseball player just like me. Our birthdays are around the same time.

I will never forget the day I saw my Grandfather's spirit."

[The teacher's comment: "Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this story. Try to include more details about how you were feeling and what you were thinking, but it was well written."}

I love the fact that my grandchildren felt free enough to share their experiences. Young children do see, hear and feel so much more than parents may be aware of. Imagine how amazing it would be if we nutured this potential in children. Wow.. the things they could teach us! I FEEL BLESSED.....

Whether or not you believe in the ability of Mediums to talk to the dead, a good Medium's honest communication can bring comfort to those who may be left wondering how their loved ones are, where they are, etc. A message from someone who had died can help those who mourn to move on. We all have a transition to make. These kinds of communications can bring comfort, lessen our fears and bring us closer to knowing that the soul is endless and enduring, and is always able to find the way home, to source.

Peace be with you, one and all......and with all good wishes for a Happy New Year!!

YOU HAVE ENEMIES? GOOD...
THAT MEANS YOU'VE STOOD UP FOR SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE?

2011-12-09T11:31:00.006-05:00

Being a clairvoyant isn't just a sweetness and light undertaking. There are times I am called upon to deliver news that a client might dread. It's easy to share good news; a lot less fun to tell clients what they don't want to hear or what they may fear. What I see or hear or sense isn't always pretty. Because clairvoyance doesn't always have an "off" switch---although I can push what I perceive to the side---I am receiving information no matter where I am or what I am doing.

I just returned from a "mental health" vacation in Florida. My favorite Aunt lives there and she and the lovely man in her life kept me busy and fully entertained. The trip was fun and I had a good rest, but I also felt concern about some of the things I "perceived". I don't think I've ever seen so many people walking around like zombies. Whether we were in a restaurant or sitting in a club listening to jazz music or out in the street, people walked by in a state of weird emptiness, almost as though they were invisable, transparent, similar in appearance to the way I see discarnates. Energetically, they were ashen in color and texture. There are always a few people like this in a crowd, but I have to say that I was stunned by how many I saw. I could also perceive that some were processing on-going situations, others were concentrating on the past, but most were thinking about what they were going to do next. Is this a Florida thing? No, it is happening all over. Some were nasty, or just placid and quiet. Are things so horrific for people in general that they are becoming more and more absent? Is it the question, "What do I do next?" it is so overwhelming that it's overloading the circuits around the globe.
(WOW, AM I SEEING DIFFERENT!)

I kept my own circle of people close around me because I felt vibrant life there. I spent time on the beaach letting the wind blow and cleanse away the heavy energy. I was sensing outside the circle. At the same time, because this whole thing was so unusual, once my eyes were open to it.
I gave a lot of thought to what might be going on with people that would make them appear as thought they are literally fading out.

I thought about what kind of value system each of us has in place---the principles that guide one's personal behavior--and how the people handle crises and stress. And I thought about what people value, what they care about the most. If we are being honest, the sad truth is that for too many people it all boils down to wealth, power and sex.

So what is your value system? It can be about life's trivial things, or..... it can be about yourself only and what you require only for yourself...would a big income, big car, big house make you happy? Someone else would say...too big a mortgage, and where would I go with a big car, lack of income. Someone else would say, who needs all that stuff as I just want to play. Play could also be a burden especially if you run out of people to play with. On the other hand, some like to be work at discovering new things and they move forward with their interests ..they are motivated enough and just expect finances will flow when needed and don't think about it. Remember, when you choose a job you love, you don't have to work a day in your life.
We have been programed and bombard by the message that these things are needed to make you happy and fulfilled.

Those who move forward with genuine curiosity about what's ahead, with a sense of excitement that all things are possible, will vibrate in that energy and act as a magnet to others. It also requires an open heart. Nothing will please you if your heart isn't open enough to receive. Without these things, life becomes stagnant depression and emptiness set in and, for some, the fading will continue.

Earth has been going through many shifts and changes, and they are accelerating. Crisis and the breaking down of old forms is acting as a major catalyst for evolutionary growth. Are you buzzed about it? On which side of the fence are you standing? Some are living examples of the beautiful process of moving to a higher vibration. Others see "Doomsday" ahead. Maybe so, for some.. (hmm) I have no intentiion of preparing any apocalyptic last will and testament because from where I stand all things are possible. The chaos everyone feels now can indicate new opportunities. They may be unfamiliar, even completely unrecognizable, but they are there.

* THE HEART MUST BE OPEN TO RECEIVING
* BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS
* THE ENERGY YOU PROJECT DEFINES WHAT COMES BACK TO YOU
* AS PEOPLE WAKE UP FROM THEIR DREAM STATE, FROM THE STATE OF FADING, THE MORE THE FIELD WILL BE CHARGED WITH NEW ENERGY
* ALL IS ENERGY. KNOW THAT, EMBRACE IT AND LIVE IT
* NOTHING CAN HEAL UNTIL THE PAIN COMES TO THE SURFACE AND IS RELEASED

The years ahead, beginning in a big way with 2012, will provide many opportunities to respond to the wake-up call. Spend some time this Holiday Season really considering what you value most!!!!

Blessings
Barbara

WHAT IS YOUR REALITY?

2011-11-09T09:32:00.010-05:00

As a psychic, I have the unique opportunity to work with clients who face a wide variety of challenges. I enjoy getting into the nuts and bolts of their life, and helping them find solutions. No matter how complex a problem is, I always seek clarity in order to guide a person towards better choices. Sometimes I feel as though I'm standing in the wings, gently directing actors to move one way or another so they hit their mark at exactly the right moment. Because I am outside the situation, I often have a clearer perspective. If you're standing on the inside, where the client is, you can't always see the overview and the way various pieces fit together to form the big picture.

There are many television shows and movies that are filling up the airways. Patricia Arquette's character in the show Medium was based on a real life medium. Oscar winning actress Cate Blanchette portrayed a medium who helped solve crimes in the movie "The Gift". People need to open up and understand that there is a higher power. Bigger than the linear life.

I must admit to being privy to the lives of many celebrities through my work. I may be called a "Spiritual Advisor," but I am practical, logical, and completely non judgemental. As you can plainly see, mediums, and psychics have finally established themselves to the world. I see more men coming to me to give them the answers to mega business decisions. And as for you ladies, when men get lost, groping to find their destination, they refuse to stop at a gas station for help!! Right?

Unfortunately, many clients of mine, seem to have an unconscious need to repeat playing out the same dramas and crazy events, as though they are doing retakes in a movie that is their life. Our fascination with celebrities isn't anything new but the grip it has on people is getting scary, at least to me. People are obsessed with celebrity breakups, meltdowns, weight loss or gain, arrests, marriages, divorces, etc... The publishers of Star, Us Weekly, and OK Magazine know this, and profit well from the feeding frenzy. I have to wonder what this does to the way we see ourselves and our own life. What is your reality?

I remember repeat showings of the tape of Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's couch because he was so in love with Katie Holmes that the mention of her name drove him into a tizzy. That thing was playing everywhere, for days. It was shocking to see it played over and over. News? On what planet and in what reality would that be considered news? Ugh!!

The more recent obsession has been with Kim Kardashian and her 72 day marriage. I guess, we'll peer through the divorce proceedings now as well. And then, of course, there are the endless so called reality shows, coming to you from every city in the country. People are hooked on them. Just another form of addiction in my opinion. They do provide an escape, away to run from one's own personal reality. Watching someone else's pain or living vicariously through their celebrity, must make viewer's feel better. Or... does this form of "reality" indicate something more sinister? Such as the crumbling culture, the numbing down and dumbing down is it the way we create and perceive reality? IS THIS REALITY CALLED THE NEW NORMAL?! Or, are we to be a vast cultural wasteland?

My advice is to drop out (of these distortions of reality) and tune in (to your inner self). If you are really looking for solutions and answers to the challenges that you face, shift your prospective within your own life and "live" your own reality. The answers are not "out there" in TV land or in the tabloids. The answers are within you.

We are close to 2012, NOT the end of the world as some predict, but certainly a turning point. This could be a new year of great discovery ,IF we connect to the strength and inner knowing that is part of who we really are. Whose reality do you want to be in as we move into the new year? Yours? Someone else's? Do you want it to be a repeat of 2010 or 2011? What do you want it to look like? What do you want it to contain? Who do you want to have with you? What do you want to be doing? Create your OWN reality!!

I love this quote from Walter Cooper:
"If you realized that the nurtured spiritual part of yourself would accompany you on your eternal journey and that everything you have labored so hard to accumulate would vanish the instant you depart this world, would it alter your daily agenda?"

I always felt a wise man knows everything...A shrewd man knows everybody...

TEMPERANCE

2011-10-26T10:11:00.029-04:00

TEMPERANCE

A dictionary definition of the word TEMPERANCE would include: moderation of action, thought, or feeling. On a divinatory level, in the Tarot, it suggests the potential for harmony, love, good relationships, and happy connections that balance the heart. The key to manifesting that harmonious state is in seeking and finding the right balance. The Temperance card shows the figure of a woman holding two cups or vessels. She pours the contents back and forth for as long as it takes to mix the right ingredients in the right proportions. This takes patients, self restraint, and an inner knowing that balance can be found, even in the most dramatic situation. Because the lessons of Tarot are always conveyed in metaphor, you can apply them in any area of life, from mundane to cosmic, from your job to the fulfillment of your destiny. Sometimes, a new ingredient needs to be added to the mix in order to get it just right, and other times something needs to be removed and let go of.

As I have said a zillion times, our planet is shifting into a higher frequency or energy pattern. Getting there could take a long time or it could happen in the blink of an eye sometime next week. No one knows. But while that is in process, you may be experiencing feelings of being disconnected and set adrift, with the very uncomfortable sensation that things are out of balance. The ingredients are changing in a big way and It could be that you suddenly view your career or marriage, your sibling or friend, perhaps yourself, as though you are trying to mix together fire and water. Perhaps there has been a recent upheaval in one of those areas and all of a sudden, there is no job and no friendship anymore, or maybe you are called upon to face something about yourself that has been long buried. Now there is a new set of ingredients in motion. It can be frightening and for some, depressing.

This is the time to move inward, to go deep down and clear out, clean out all the cobwebs. Letting go and allowing yourself to do this isn't easy. You may think you are admitting personal failure, or realize that you are clinging to a person or situation that isn't a part of who you are anymore. Maybe you see a change in yourself, but those around you can't accept it. Don't let feelings of anger or fear be in charge.

And then there is your dream life. Has it been a bit wild lately? I feel the unconscious and/or subconscious is turning your world into a big cinematic unveiling. Maybe you are in some kind of action thriller that is full of surprise twists. Your dreams, however abstract they may seem when you awake, are making you aware of yourself. They are helping you to sort things out, discard, or keep whatever needs to stay or go, and assisting you in putting the pieces into a new order. So your dreams and fantasies are giving you a vision of the changes that you are undergoing. They are helping you experiment with different ingredients.

It's a lot to juggle and make sense of. As always, the universe does offer assistance.

New moons provide strong energy for creating what you want. It's a great exercise to prepare for the inflow of energy by making a list of what you want to manifest. Take stock of where you are, and what's going on in your life, and write down some of those new ingredients you'd like to attract. October 26th marks a New Moon that is 3 degrees in Scorpio. Scorpionic energy is compelling, deep, emotional passionate and sometimes a bit strange and sexy. At the same time, the Sun has entered Scorpio, and Venus and Mercury are in Scorpio as well. That's a lot of SCORPIO energy. Scorpio also has to to with self-mastery. Take a look at whatever feels out of control--addictions, debts, etc. And use this time to free yourself and unload the junk. Let those things be part of what you put on your manifestation list: healing and clearing and giving yourself a chance to let go of people, behavior, things, situations, that no longer serve you. Manifest the resolution of any emotional issue that has plagued you. Is the struggle worth your health? The pain? Let it go under the influence of this New Moon. Tap the energy of self-mastery and make it work for you, without fear, or anger, or depression. Let these ideas percolate for the next day or so, and then let the Scorpio energy help you break through and feel free. Visualize yourself as the figure in the Temperance Card holding the cups and being in control of moving the contents back and forth, mixing and merging, until you feel just the right balance and mix.

Live each day like it is your last. One day, you'll get it right!!

"THE THREAT FOR DEMOCRACY TODAY IS NOT THE SIZE OF THE GOVERNMENT,
BUT RATHER THE HIDDEN FORM THAT SO MUCH OF ITS GROWTH HAS TAKEN"

WE ARE SET TO GO..FORWARD

2011-09-20T10:42:00.002-04:00

I have just returned from a cruise, a get-away kind of trip that, in a odd way, really worked its magic on me. I say "odd" because I planned to do some writing while I was gone, but writer's block set in and no new information seemed to come through me. Basically, I was watching the people who had no clue as to what is going on within the planet. Happy, happy. happy, dead, dead, dead. Also, I don't really have a clairvoyant off-switch, and yet the psychic part of me seemed to shut down too. While that gave me some time to "just be", which was wonderful, I came home with the thought that this is what everyone has been feeling. It's weird in a way, because it amounted to an almost complete disconnect from self, at least the self that I have always known myself to be. And maybe that's the point.

Sometime around 2003 a very new energy started to creep in. Subtle at first, it has done its work much like a stone being shaped by a running stream, slowly and over time. But there does come a moment when when you notice that something has changed. This is the way the energy has been moving and building, bringing in the new, reshaping you and helping you to let go of the old stuff. For some, the process has felt very disruptive, tense, as though all that was once familiar has been dismantled. I have said this before: The tighter you hold onto the old, the more difficult and bumpty it will be to release it and more forward. You can't take it with you, as the old saying goes.

We are set to go forward now,in a big way, at least most of us are. If you haven't finished up old business, get cracking. It is critical to seek balance within yourself, to approach your purpose with clarity, even if you don't know quite what to do or what your purpose is as yet. Great care should be taken to not create discord within yourself, so that you can adjust to the higher, finer, waves of energy that continue to pour in and download. We are (and will) be programming our thinking and noticing a whole new pattern of living and being, and nothing will work the way it used to. All the mental, emotional and physical cleaning you have undergone (and if you haven't...(you better get used to that too), has opened you to a new inspiration, new pathways and doorways. Again, don't worry if you don't have a clue about what to create or which path to take. As you continue to surrender and let go of whatever no longer serves your highest purpose, the new path will emerge. clear as day.

Indeed, the planet as a whole has shifted into a higher frequency pattern so everyone is experiencing some form of transformation and transition, and for many a feeling of awakening from a dream. You have been cut loose and set adrift, or so it may seem. I believe the wheel that moves beteen past, present and future is completing its mission or a major cycle, moving us from the old earth of density, to what some are calling the new earth, one that vibrates at a higher level than anyone in physical space/time has ever experienced.
This extends to the astral world as well, where the veils are lifting as the dimensions merge. Some of us are feeling more psychic than ever before and hearing, seeing or dreaming of familiar faces, perhaps so you know that all is well with friends and loved ones who have moved on. This is a time of soul awakening, of knowing you have lived in a dream, an illusion, that must break open like a cosmic egg. As a voice within me recently said...this isn't being done to you, but FOR YOU,
So, don't be concerned about feeling "out there" or off center or however it is manifesting for you. The effects can be felt in sleeping and eating habits as well. Don't stress yourself about whatever changes you may be feeling.

As above, so below: The sun is becoming more and more volatile, with increasing sun spot activity. I believe this is changing our weather patterns, with more intense weather and earthquakes on the way. Consider this when you feel in yourself or see around you,intensifying emotional chaos. You will have to determine for yourself or see around you, intensifying emotional chaos. You will have to determine for yourself whatever stands as truth, and allow your inner spirit to rise up and guide you through each and every crisis. At the same time, your intuition will grow and expand and you will learn to trust your inner radar. Remind yourself to live in a state of gratitude every time something beautiful comes your way. Do deep breathing and don't anticipate or hold negative expectations. Live outside of the circles of fear and hold steady from your very core. You may be moving through this time at a faster rate than those around you, so don't get caught up in anyone else's turmoil. Instead, lift yourself and rise above, while allowing the higher vibration to first find a balance within you, and then emanate outward from you. In this way, you will encourage the soul to direct, and be an example to others of what is possible.

We are blessed to be here and now, to be a part of the graduation from the old earth to a new one. Some will choose to go through it while in a physical body. Others may find the energy transition to be too much to integrate, and they may decide to leave. None of this is happening "out there... somewhere", but right here inside of you, down to the cellular level. No matter how you decide to move through it, the gift remains because you carry it wherever you go. Embrace the loving change that is taking place.

"You can live without loving, but you can never love without giving."
--Robert Louis Stevenson--

We are all set to go forward now,

THE QUICKENING/ACCELERATION/MAKING CHOICES

2011-08-23T20:30:00.004-04:00

It is said that the best predictor of the future is the past. I suppose that's because our past experiences help us make decisions that shape the future. A pattern of choices and behavior can be detected in any one of us that logically points to a potential future. We can always look back at those patterns and pinpoint where we went wrong, or right, where we changed direction. That's often called a "turning point." Some people are practical, and they are alert to the fact that they are consciously creating the future. The odds of not being struck by lightening, for example, are greatly improved by avoiding metal canoes during thunderstorms. But some people will jump right into the canoe at the first sight of lightening. You have to wonder why. That doesn't make me a pessimist. Maybe I am a realist. If I could choose, and I can, I would be an optimist, and not just because optimism is linked to good health. Studies show it can also lead to personal success. I have faith that no matter how many times a person makes mistakes,there is always another turning point, and another opportunity to move their path on a direct course toward success.

And then there is repeat behavior, such as the same decision or choice being made over and over again. Eventually we hit what is known as a "tipping point."
In discussions about global warming, experts often express their concern that toxic dumping, destruction of coral reefs, for example, have already hit the tipping point, meaning there is no turning back. The die is cast and the future is highly predictable. If your behavior is destructive, it is much better to take advantage of a turning point instead of letting yourself get to a tipping point.

As I was writing this blog. I heard a voice (Yes, this happens all the time!) telling me to talk about the NEXUS POINT. Not exactly sure what it meant, I went to the computer and found a writer named William Meisheid who wrote about it.
He said:
"Nexus points are places where destiny and opportunity collide, or from a Christian perspective, where God's call and man's courage will intersect. These are strategic moments that speak to the core history and purpose of decisions and the trying of men's souls. They are opportunities to demonstrate in the moment of testing that your heart is true, that out of the fire comes precious treasure and not garbage to be swept aside. There are innumerable small and many nexus points in all of our lives, and for some there will be a singular moment that will forever define them. It is often difficult to tell how significant any test given will be. The best course is to approach each trial as if it will be the supreme test until it is upon us. We need to remember that our performance in small things seats us up for larger decisions.

"We are responsible for our choices, for the ripples that flow out from them, for good or ill, and for whether or not we have answered the call of God upon our lives, or have asked instead to be let off the hook of consequence.
"May God give each of us the grace to rise to the challenge when we confront our own nexus points."

We are all packages of energy and that energy is accelerating. This means ethat whatever future(s) we are creating are manifesting faster and faster. In my private consultations with clients, I am seeing that many people are stuck, almost frozen in place in a state of near panic. Some are unable to make any choice or decision at all, as though any movement to the left or right will send them spinning over a cliff. That can pull us out of alignment with source energy, shifting the flow or even cutting it off. It can be a confusing and exhausting place to be. If you find yourself in such a state the most beneficial thing you can do is work to clean up your present, or...where you are right now. I have said this before but it is becoming more and more critical as the acceleration continues.

So...what is the point of all this?? Pay attention to the choices you make and the potential futures they portend. Look closely at all your own patterns, and know you have the free will NOW to set in motion a future that is full of joy.
Treat everything as a possible NEXUS POINT. from which you learn that your heart is true and that the precious treasure is the fully realized you.
That is reason enough to be optimistic.

"The unexamined life is not worth living."
--Socrates

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER FORECAST 2011

2011-07-30T16:38:00.005-04:00

Those of you who follow my blog know that one way I like to tune into things is by holding a question or thought in my mind and picking a Tarot card. I highly recommend this practice. As I've mentioned before, you can pick a card to see how the day is going to unfold or maybe a first date, or a job interview. It doesn't matter whether or not you think you're psychic. Just go with it, without anticipating or projecting the answer.

I decided to give it a try for August and September, asking about two general issues that affect all of us: Finances and Emotional Health. This is what the Tarot had to say....

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER FORECAST 2011

ON FINANCE*

We are all reviewing our financial status. The Hermit carries the lamp of insight, introspection,
information gathering, analyzing. Our financial peace has been disturbed and he helps us take a close look at what's going on. The scythe he carries in the shape of a crescent moon, symbolizing the eternal fluctuation of the cycles of time and space. Cycles move in their own rhythm and no matter how much we want things to hurry up and improve, the Hermit has an internal understanding of the cycles of the moon, the seasons, life and death. He is patient and tells us it is time to withdraw, wait patiently, review, examine, before we know what to do next.

Resistance doesn't help you here and neither does a quick fix. The Hermit doesn't necessarily provide us with the answer but he helps us to slow down, gather wisdom and let the cycle unfold in it's own time. You can't move forward and you can't move back. Instead, you have to wait it out. Don't bother to struggle against anything. The best action is reflection and quiet, which will help you to stay calm while the storm passes overhead. Somethings must come to an end so that a new beginning can take place.

EMOTIONAL HEALTH
The Emperor sits on his thrown with the symbols of Aries and Mars (the planets of choice and delivery). When I meditated on this card, I felt it meant that you have to accept what comes, at least for now. It may be a stressful period but this is natural as you approach a time of making decisions. The Emperor is all about authority and self-control. He also represents responsibilities and with the raging currents of dissatisfaction and so much emotional energy crashing around us, it's easy to feel trapped by circumstances of family, business, jobs, and love relationships.

The Emperor, like a King, represents order and control, but who's in control? He tells you to use your power wisely and not allow the pressures you feel to turn you into a tyrant. You rule your own kingdom and you are it's only subject. Think before you speak, and look before you leap. There is a huge amount of anger building and a wise ruler doesn't fan the flames.

At the same time, emotionally charged events from your past can be haunting you, taking the form of "trapped emotions." You need to remove the old baggage! Develop the quiet strength of the Emperor and know that YOU -- the HERE and NOW you -- are in charge of yourself.

2011 IS THE LAST YEAR OF DENIAL

2011-07-05T19:38:00.007-04:00

Jerry Lee Lewis wrote the song, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" and that song title certainly describes what' s happening, no matter where you are. Even if it feels as though everything in your life is on hold and that nothing too much is moving forward, you are all feeling the rumbling. Only you can say how this is playing out in your corner of the world, but, I can tell you there is more to come through the end of 2011, and still more as we shake, rattle and roll toward 2015.

There is hope when those who have been working to clear out all unneeded things and help raise the consciousness, gather together and work to feel the power that can be generated. And when motivated by "service to others."-there is great potential for helping others to see the light. So, it's a wonderful idea to seek out groups, large or small, that make you feel at home within yourself and find ways to help one another. This will matter a great deal in the difficulties to come, as the worst of human nature continues to weave a nasty web of deception.

I just saw a quote from Patrick Henry that seems worth contemplating: "The constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
Let's face it, if it does not effect us..........we leave it alone ....right?

You are surrounded by propaganda that is designed to make you believe things that are not so. While you're stuck in a pothole waiting for prosperity to return and life to brighten, you continue to feel the rumbling. The ruling powers use encouraging words and a soothing lullaby tone so that being in a state of denial comes easily. Q: How long can an illusion be held in place.?

A: Until a "something" comes rumbling toward us, gathering momentum and shaking us out of the dream, OUT OF DENIAL.

Enter URANUS!

The planet Uranus moved into the sign of Aries (new beginnings) in March 2011 for the first time in decades. Uranus is known as "the great awakener" because this planet brings quick lightening-like flashes of insight, along with great rapid change. It's influence could help us venture into new realms. It may be unpredictable and even erratic, but it teaches us to challenge the status quo and not to just blindly accept what we are told. Uranus in Aries can help us question what we are doing or where we are. It can spawn great ideas and inventions, solutions, even new leaders and plenty of rumbling to topple outdated structures.

Each of us will feel the moving and shaking that Uranus in Aries is designed to provide. You may prefer to stay asleep but Uranus won't let you!!

ARIES..........Time to use all your gear, all your idea's, and creations. Plow through and get what you want. You can be aggressive. You can look people in the eye with unabashed honesty.

TAURUS.....Why keep worrying about money, children and responsibilities, you get what you want anyhow. Won't budge once their mind is set and moves deliberately and at times speaks sparingly. Solid as a rock so don't disturb their tranquility.

GEMINI......You are seeing the double sign of the twins with two different and distinct personalities. They blend and then separate They think they know where they stand, at least for the moment. Love power, money and ( hmm) sex.

CANCER......Wrapped up in vivid imagination with mood swings to boot. Very intense but loving and giving. Relax and give your emotions a break! It is time to move ahead!

LEO............The "big cat" with pride.or a thrush. Can be gentle but you will never find an into-verted Leo. Take something away from them, especially their dignity...watch out!!!

VIRGO......May not be too comfortable in crowds as they need their own space and not easily relaxed. This is the worker-bee of the zodiac. Unquestionably dependable and sincere and likely will run to the drug store for you.

LIBRA.......Hates to be rude and can wear a mask. Looks perfectly balanced half the time going one way or the other. Full of curves rather than angles.

SCORPIO.. They have a need to travel incognito looking for the spotlight. Look at the eyes piercing with hypnotic intensity trying to penetrate your soul. Try not to blink while their eyes wander. Either good or ruthless..your pick.

SAGITTARIOUS...Pick a party and look at the center of the liveliest group. Goes out of a verbal limb, but doesn't know it yet as they go on their merry way but sprinkled with refreshing humor.

CAPRICORN...Will find them anywhere because they move around a lot to improve themselves. Getting ahead and furthering their ambitions; finances, family and responsibility.

AQUARIOUS...Usually a realist, always preparing for the unexpected. Soft spoken and courteous souls can suddenly short-circuit and become inpredictable. Has mysterious knowledge deep within them, always trying to penetrate the next mystery.

PISCES.. Cannot stand to be confined in one place. Their needs are more creative, artistic and have a need for more esoteric surroundings. Mind you, they have nothing against cash but don't rob them of their freedom or experiences to dream and FEEL their way through life. Usually takes the path of least resistance and sometimes born to see the world through rose-colored glasses.

>Another helpful quote: "The secret of health for mind and body is not to mourn from the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha -

JULY 2011 FORECAST

2011-06-29T11:23:00.003-04:00

Look at this image as it is the Tarot card of the month for the energies of July 2011. "It portrays a man in silver armour, silver helmet holding a silver sword mounted on a pale grey horse. The horse looks agitated, its front legs outstretched as though about to take off in flight almost ready for battle."

This month be prepared for sudden changes, perhaps discoveries and awakenings. It is time to learn the truth and even though painful, as it appears, you are entering the gateway to make some changes to cut through the old, tired conflicts. Even if you are in an early stage of a situation, this will seem like a wakeup call. You may be inspired with a new idea but pay attention to what you think before you act or speak.

This duality reflects some of your inner clarity. Consider it as a jumpstart to awakening. Will you use your intuition or will you choose illusion, irritation, resistance as you come to the shadow point of yourselves and rethink your actions.

Sudden change of direction is near and even though you have a vision, it is not fully formed as yet. It is the prelude for the journey to begin that leads to a broader vision of life.
From disorder to order.*************

Teetering On The Edge

2011-06-11T22:35:00.011-04:00

TEETERING ON THE EDGE.....(My Story)

I have written about fear many times in this blog, but there is always more to know about this most primal instinct. Whether it's facing a math test you didn't study for or realizing that some suspicious character is following you down a dark, deserted street, fear can certainly be unpleasant. Being in a heightened state of "fight or flight" has the potential to save your life in a dangerous circumstance. Fear can also keep you frozen in place when you reach a critical point in a situation, unable to move on or make a change that restores calm. I read somewhere that people fear public speaking more than they fear death. Some people are afraid of bugs or germs, closed spaces, intimacy, leaving their house, doctors, and the list goes on.

I was forced to face my greatest fear -- and it wasn't public speaking -- in a rain forest on top of a mountain in Quepos, Costa Rica, on horseback I might add. A group of us took the trip to check on an adventure tour project we had invested in. My nightmare began as seventeen of us prepared to ride our horses up and down a winding path, approximately 2 Km (1.2 miles) through a thick jungle and, finally, up a mountain 1,500 feet above sea level. We had built a lodge up there with amazing views of the forest and valley below, along with a canopy run that would give tourists the ride of a lifetime through the tree tops of the rain forest.

I have always had a fear of heights. I traced its source to a past life experience in which, as part of a ritual sacrifice, I was sent over a cliff and to my death. But I've also always felt that wisdom about life is attained by taking everyday events and treating them as adventures. With that belief in place, a huge amount of trust and a good dose of denial, I waited for a hitch up to the back of a 6 ft. horse. I examined the colorful blanket that served as a saddle and then I noticed the twisted jute stirrups and rope reins. A bit rustic, I thought...gulp.

True to the old adage that ignorance is bliss, I never thought to ask about travel conditions and didn't know the rainy season wasn't quite over yet. So, off we went, up a trail filled with twists and turns, each one more exciting than the last, and never knowing when a Toucan would pop out of the bushes or a black jaguar would show his piercing green eyes through the leaves. I was eager to see what was around each bend, every bit of magic and beauty the mountain had to offer. Suddenly, the trail came to an abrupt halt, ahead of me a 300 foot drop where the path had been washed away.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw what looked like "little people," about twelve of them. Later, I learned they are known as the "Parras," a group of indigenous people who live on the mountain. Swinging their machetes, they cut a new trail for us, and then it began to rain. This wasn't any kind of rain I was used to on Long Island but a downpour of monsoon proportions! I could see the trail ahead getting very narrow and, as my heart skipped a beat, my horse started slipping in the mud, one right hoof hanging over a cliff. Thinking I would fall and having all kinds of flashbacks to my past life experience, I let myself slide off the struggling horse and land on my back on what little was left of the soggy red dirt mountain path. Now my legs were hanging off the cliff too and I was terrified of standing up, knowing the dirt would continue to give way. The horse righted herself but I could not. I turned my head to look down to the forest below and saw millions of spirits flying around. Later, it was explained to me that they are earthbound souls who chose to stay together. I thought I was a goner and that I might well end up joining them.

Again the Parras came to my aid. They gave me a walking stick that was taller than I was, and forced me to climb the mountain, urging me on as the dirt continued to give way with each step I took. I couldn't turn around, or run, or do anything but move forward. I kept falling and sliding down the muddy slope, ripping my pants and tearing my shoes to shreds, and still they pushed me on.

Ahead of me, up on another cliff, a new horse appeared, seemingly out of the blue. I found a tall rock to stand on in order to get back on the horse. Now on a different trail and separated from my traveling companions, I found myself hanging on as my horse jumped over rapids and rocks, and flew like the wind. Did anyone miss me, I wondered? Will I ever see my friends again? Does anyone know how close I came to death? The Parras watched over me -- blessed people -- and guided me from a distance. Without them, I was all alone on a horse in the middle of some jungle science fiction movie.

Finally, I could see the lodge in the distance, at the tippy top of the mountain. To get there, I still had to take my horse through river rapids that normally run a foot or so deep. But with all the rain, the water was more than four feet deep, coming up to the horse's belly. Halfway across, it started raining again and within minutes I could see the water was still rising. easily to five feet, maybe more. I was in extreme danger of being washed away down river. I wasn't ready to die or leave my children and from somewhere within me, a deep well of courage opened up.

I made it to the other side with prayers and sheer force of will, where I was met by the last bit of mountain to climb. It was so steep I had to walk, holding my horse's tail, slowly moving up the incline in a nearly diagonal position. My traveling companions were gathered on a high deck, cheering me on. Was I pooped!!! But I was also proud of myself for overcoming so much ancient fear. At the same time, I was jubilant and triumphant and thrilled to still be breathing. I knew I wanted to live and that I was not finished with my earth life yet. I knew I had a lot more to share -- a LOT more after this experience -- about the unseen world. And I was deeply grateful to the Parras and the many unseen forces and friends that guided and protected me and answered my prayers.

Fear? Not any longer. My last thought as I reached the lodge and turned to enjoy the view..."How the hell am I going to get down this mountain tomorrow morning?!" All I could do was laugh.

I wasn't the only one to have wild experiences that day. One of my friends would not get on a horse, so she and her Mom took a car ride up the mountain by an alternate route. They encountered the same crazy rains and washed out pathways, resulting in the car sliding down a muddy mess of disappearing road and coming to rest on the edge of cliff. Held in place by a single tree, the car had to pulled up and out by horses and twelve strong men. They prayed a lo+t too!

Another group of friends braved the canopy run, although construction of the platforms had not been completed. Crazy people in the crazy rain...they decided to test the lines anyway, even though there was no place to stand when changing zip lines. They were held up only by their harness and a ladder as they zoomed 500 meters through the forest canopy, 520 feet high.

No one got hurt that day and I think a lot of us overcame all kinds of fears. It's fun to laugh about it now, and to share the wild stories from that trip. My brush with death taught me something about how to live without fearing life, its obstacles, challenges, storms, washed out mountain roads and even cliffs.

My humble thanks to Barbara Bowen who helped me to edit my story and to Woody Allen who said....."If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans"

As for me, I think I have had enough adventure for awhile!!!!

THE RIPPLES OF CHANGE IN THE STILLNESS WITHIN

2011-05-26T15:45:00.005-04:00

t The human race is at a very special place in its evolution, one of the most important we have ever known. We are still in transition years in which newer and higher energies are being experienced and integrated. Think of a pot of water coming to a boil in order to visualize the acceleration. There is great unrest around the world and you can feel that the tension is continuing to build. At the same time, the earth herself is rumbling, reminding us that we are merely visitors here and we can be evicted anytime Mother Nature chooses to send us packing.

The OUTER is always a reflection of the INNER and you experience the shifting energies personally in relationships with people, your finances, and all the challenges that are present in your life. They are also experienced through the institutions of government, religion and the local and world structures that have already been in place. The inner/outer model applies to all of it. Our personal and global resistance is taking responsibility for what we have created only escalates the intensity of the experience. Ask yourself who benefits in your personal life from the continued suppression of awakening to the knowledge of who and what you really are.
And who benefits globally in the larger institutions of society? You can call them dark forces or Illuminati or any other term you choose to use. Their intent is what's important and whether it is a conscious or unconscious act, that is to stop this critical stage of human evolution. or call it the awakening. The truth sets you free but it isn't always pretty.

The energetic atmosphere is resonating and crackling with the quickening of energies all around us. While it may not feel comfortable, it is pushing or encouraging people to awaken. I see it happening in a growing number of clients, as if finally someone flipped a switch or turned up the volume on their intuitive abilities. They are refocusing their attention toward knowing what's going on and understanding some of the ways humankind has been duped and kept asleep. Conspiracy theories aside, the mass manipulation is still happening through the intention distortion of information/misinformation that comes to you in all directions. The only thing you can rely on to separate truth from fiction is your inner radar, your ability to perceive more than what is seen on the surface. Your intuitive potential is hardwired in you so it is already here, waiting to be activated. But..the real question is what do you do about it?! How do you move forward with it? Hopefully, I can help you move forward..
(will a jackhammer work?)

As we all know, (bad news travels fast) the rapture and end of the world never happened on May 21st but, in a sense, it did happen, is happening, because we really are living in the" end of days." It is not the end of the world but the end of the world as we have known it. The old forms are dying and they are not planning to, as Dylan Thomas wrote, "..go gentle into that good night." The unrest and upheaval will continue and while at times it will feel as though a sledge hammer is crashing down and smashing what is familiar and dear to you, the peace and harmony and light you seek is here, has always been here, waiting for you to flip the switch and turn up the volume.
Go on and rage against things if you want to, fight battles if that's how you want to spend your time, but the new paradigm is conceived within you in a place of quiet and stillness....
We will be reaching graduation time very soon, for those souls who are ready to make the evolutionary leap forward, together and fully awakened.

JUDGEMENT DAY??

2011-05-19T20:07:00.002-04:00

Even after spending so many years working with tools of divination, such as Tarot cards, I can still be surprised by what they have to teach. Sometimes I will randomly pick one tarot card in the morning to give me a sense of what the day will hold. The information is usually helpful and I highly recommend the practice, particularly if you're interested in learning about Tarot. At other times I will intentionally pick a card and meditate on it's meaning, seeking additional insight into the archetype each card represents. I always learn something new from this contemplative approach, often adding another layer of understanding and practical application.

If my readers have been wondering why my blog has been silent lately, I've been going through my own changes. I felt inspired to reorganize, to shift my focus from all the negatives in my life to the infinite possibilities that await me. One way that manifested itself was in tearing my house apart. cleaning out things I no longer needed or wanted. Downsizing and getting rid of clutter is an accurate way to describe what I was doing but, really it was more than that. I was literally breaking down walls, renovating and demolishing barriers, breathing new life into myself and my environment. I felt as though I'd been hit with a lightening bolt that exploded any reasons I had to hold onto layers and layers of stuff I had accumulated. It extended to life experiences as well, memories, old acquaintances, the things that are stored way back there in the mental vault, piling up and gathering dust.

Once the work was complete, although I know there will always be more to do, I sat down in my new space to enjoy the clarity and the fresh energy I felt all around me. I reached for the Tarot deck and picked out the JUDGEMENT card, just to renew the discipline of feeling my way through the archetypes.
It seemed fitting to contemplate that particular tarot card because Judgement always signals a change..., one that involves leaving something old behind and stepping into something completely new, such as, closing the door on an old job and opening a door to a completely different career. It is also about making a final decision, to take that plunge into a new career, forgive your family, leave an abusive partner and make a new life, etc... And when you look still deeper into the archetype, it forms a panoramic picture of where you find yourself and how you got there.
Knitted together out of the many smaller pieces--the decisions and actions; the people and situations--that have gone before. Judgement guides you toward a summing up, a synthesis of what you have been doing that brought you to this moment of change. It usually helps you see things more clearly, as a pattern that suddenly makes sense. An AHA moment can be the result or, in my case, a lightening bolt.

If you think of each day as a Judgement day, you will definitely approach life in a different way because you will be much more in the tune with how the actions you take and the decisions you make impact the overall pattern of who, what and where you are,
There is a funny story about the butterfly flapping its wings in China and how it influences the weather in Florida, and maybe that's a simple way to look at it.

The Judgement card includes that...but it also implies that we have reached the end of a cycle, that we are moving from one stage to the next. Sooo as the summing up and cleaning out goes on, you are also looking ahead, and that's when you want to be mindful of moving in a new direction with a new sense of purpose.
I know, that our thoughts create our reality. They are waves of energy that will form naturally and beautifully when your intent is clear. There are infinite possibilities. If that seems overwhelming then start small, perhaps with a cleaning out the hall closet.

GETTING A GRIP

2011-03-28T10:30:00.005-04:00

Ah, Yes... Where have I been? I have been spending some extra time mentally reviewing my life story, summarizing for myself what I've learned, experienced, loved, imagined, lost, hoped for and, ultimately what I desire in the future, both near and far. A good thing about this kind of exercise is that it forces you to let go of the old illusions. Go, go, go,....be gone! (Whew, it can be refreshing.) At the same time, some of my old plans have died, along with some skills that outlived their usefulness, all part of a process of dissolution that is sparking a rebirth, one that everyone is going through. I will survive it and so will you. The quality of the experience is driven by your own inner feelings. Ultimately they will determine what you end up with, where the process takes you, and what the new you is all about...

I know that most of you are aware that we are going through a period of immense transformation. We are waking up from a dream that is glued together from the old earthly illusions. While you are rubbing the sleep from your eyes, energy is swirling around and through you. Think of it as liquid light-- a light of love for yourself and mankind-- that you should immerse yourself in by closing your eyes and simply visualizing it. Maybe you can sense that your connection between the "spirit you" and the "physical you" has changed (it has) and been jolted by the collective patterns from war, famine, environmental disaster, and global financial meltdown. The underlying push of that energy is awakening you to the reality of a deeper understanding within you and maybe a sense that the time has come for you to truly serve your destiny.

If it all sounds abstract, that's the way I see it and the way I know it is. The transformation will move us to 2012 and beyond and the world-wide crisis will continue to force our rebirth. How will you deal with it? I have always known that predictions, prophecies, and wild media warnings can be changed IF we are the weavers of our good dreams, based on love and service to others. Will you be one of the awake ones who weave those good dreams?

You may feel that we are insignificant as a species but people of light are not powerless! We see that there is no difference in culture, race, creed, or color. But we do know that there is a separation of dark/light that is at work. Maybe you feel at the mercy of what our politicians and governments decide. You can forget about it-- that's not where things are REALLY happening. For that, you have to look deeper, go deeper, to see the battle that is being waged. Mother Nature and the nature of our renewed humanity will surely have the last word.

MAN DOES MAKE PLANS AND I FEEL SOMETIMES GOD LAUGHS?!

Your thoughts are the most powerful balance to the energy on this planet. Your state of consciousness is most important and you have control of that. Your own thoughts can shift our awareness and perceptions, to creatively make things change and happen. You don't have to swing with the herd.

We have reached a point of critical mass and feeling the stress of trying to shift that balance and create a new one. We must face our personal and world truths, even while we are going through this upheaval... The "ley" or energy lines on the planet are also shifting and the poles are as well. The Photon Belt, a band of energy that our planet has moved into, is an event that happens every 11, 000 years. The last was during the time of Atlantis. It moves us into and between different dimensions, making us feel as though we're on a roller coaster ride. In a way, we are. There IS HOPE for the future and you will know it more and more as you awaken.

Take great care in the news around you. The Prophets of Doom will preach physical horror and annihilation, like a great sucking spiral moving ever downward where there is only despair. You must look within to see the light, grasp it and claw your way to the truth. It is so simple that if you look past it, ignore it and try to find a more complicated answer, when all the time it is there, staring you right in your face... your passport out of the vortex and into the future.

"It's not the load that brings you down. It's the way you carry it."

SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL (from my perspective)

2011-02-08T22:29:00.002-05:00

Women have never been without influence but there have been times when it was unacceptable, even, unlawful, for them to exercise their power. They have a long history of being considered inferior in a male dominated society, unable to own property and not allowed to caste a political vote. The Women's Suffrage Movement in the U.S. during the 19th century, resulting in the right of women to vote, began a huge shift toward being able to lawfully participate in events taking place outside the kitchen. By the 20th century, with the availability of birth control pills, the pendulum continued to swing, crashing and amashing all kinds of social structures. Women's liberation and demands for equal pay contributed to women being able to take charge of their own destiny, and have enough money to pay for it.

These were exciting changes and they required men AND woman to make huge adjustments to the shifting, social, political and economic landscape. No matter how painful that has been, we are certainly better for it and we have grown in my opinion.

But now, here we are in the early part of the 21st Century and, as a clairvoyant and Life Coach, I am too often amazed by how many female clients come to me in the throes of emotional meltdown over relationships. Smart, accomplished, successful women are reduced to being confused, indecisive and needy. A huge industry of "how to have a better relationship" books, CDs, seminars, online instructional materials, etc. continues to grow, with no signs of stopping. These are times when I find that people are overwhelmed by the mountains of information available to fix them, get them a soul mate, have the best sex ever, have it all, because what I see in my clients is that something still isn't working.

As far as I'm concerned, the most loving and healing energy comes from females. Sometimes it's called Goddess energy, conjuring up images from Greek or Roman mythology. Because of changes in their status over the past couple of centuries women have been freer to explore this energy. Moving it out to the world, the workplace, the political arena, etc. has allowed them to integrate and evolve more of their male energy as well. For many, this has brought about a struggle to balance the male and female sides, the Yin and Yang. Add to that something I have written about many times, the most transformational shift the planet has ever known, and you have duality in motion, conflict within (Yin/Yang) the sexes and between them,,,and no balance.

I hear it in the form of complaints about relationships. One person wants verbal communication and the other suffers from suppressed emotions, one wants sex with the promise of future commitment and the other,,,just wants sex; one wants security and money and the other wants fun times and romance. Any combo is fine if it works for you if it makes you happy, But when it doesn't ....things can escalate emotionally and you end up dealing with issues of CONTROL, fear, confusion and general breakdown or meltdown, anger, blah, blah, blah...Control is what guys cannot stand or deal with women.

So, the answer to the problem, as always, comes down to something very basic. You have to ask yourself: What do I want in a relationship? And when you meet someone, always, always there has to be some passion of dynamic energy that stimulates the chemistry in order for a relationship to continue. That comes into play the first moment you meet. Is it there or are you pretending? Are you playing a role, a game, indicating that you want one thing when you really want something else? Go for the vibrational pull (not how they look) and you are much more likely to make the right choice.

The days of a male dominated society are over and I'm not suggesting that a female dominated society is where we should be headed. I do think that men need to GROW UP and women need to WAKE UP. I also think that both men and women need to find a balance of the male/female energy that each of us carries within us. Finding that still-point can be a challenge but it is part of the growth we are here to experience.

Rich Work
Author of Awaken to the Healer Within

I proclaim that my healing is my private business. I now close all windows and doorways that would allow another to view or witness my healing as far as those energies extend. I choose to be well, whole and perfect of mind, body, and soul.

I command that this reflect through all time and space beyond, between time and space and through all dimensions.
I call forth all controlling energies that I have been in contact with throughout the journey of my soul and all those connected to these controlling energies. All energies that I call forth this day, It is my intent that all aspects of their being, and all aspects of my being, be present. I call forth the nucleus of the soul on all levels of consciousness to be present and accept this healing. I call forth all soul expressions, elemental and thought forms to stand before me, as I stand before you in love. I ask that you forgive and honor me as I forgive and honor you. I embrace you in love, and I thank you for the lessons that we have shared, but I now choose to embrace all bonds between us into unconditional love.

I call forth the totality of my being to be present and accept this healing. I acknowledge the journey that we have shared. I command that all programming that has taken place on all levels of consciousness, with or without my permission, that interferes with m,y ability to experience my perfected state of being, now be instantly reversed in it's perfect sequential order, restoring me to my Divine perfection according to my hearts desire, in a manner that will bring me happiness and joy on all levels of my being.

I reclaim my power and my sovereignty.
I proclaim my free-will choice.

Whatever laws that I have owned, whatever beliefs that I may have, whatever vows that I have made, whatever contracts and agreements that I have made, and those that I have made them with, that have allowed distortion, illusions, images, holograms and psychic messages that prevent me from experiencing rest within my being, I now release and transmute into the divine essence of creative love and embrace into my oneness. I command that all personalities and aspects of my being, now return to me to be integrated into oneness, encompassing my divine truth. I command that all thought forms, energies or substances that have been administered, or that I have created, on all levels of my being that form separation, distortion, or illusion within my being now be transmuted into divine essence of creative love.

I command that all energy forms, om all levels of consciousness, past, present and future, that are used to create a response in my being or the beings of others that would cause them to respond in a manner that is out of alignment with the essence of the soul and divine truth, now be transmuted into the divine essence of creative love and return to creator source to become a powerful, positive, productive energy.

I command that my cellular memory, my tissues, and all aspects of my being now reconnect, integrate and align with my core essence through all levels of consciousness on all levels of my being.
I acknowledge the gifts that I have received from this experience. I call them forth so I may see them and choose to use them according to my free-will choice. I acknowledge all those that have shared this experience. I have grown. I am empowered. I now stand in my truth. For those who have shared this experience, I offer you the healing that I have received. I bid you to go in peace. I proclaim my peace of mind, and the peace in the minds for all humankind who are open to accept this of their own free-will choice. And so it is...

FROM THE SIXTH-SENSE COUNSELOR ON TRUTH

2011-01-09T16:26:00.010-05:00

DOING SPIRITUAL PRACTICES helps us to loosen the grip of the ego-self and to connect to the true self so that we can live purposefully, be of service, and participate life in love. It is in the experience of living to making a transformative connection with the Divine Source. It transforms us as it changes how we act , think and feel.. in all environments on the planet.. And it is a connection--a profound contact with something and someone outside of ourselves.

We have two selves: an ego-self and a true self. The ego-self is the survival self, some need to control in this physical reality. It is not who we truly are and we cannot make a spiritual connection from it. Our true self, however, which is often described or referred as our soul, contains the very purpose we incarnated, and is in constant connection with spirit/above all consciousness/creation/God and has true compassion for all suffering.
Deep spiritually makes us more sensitive to the feelings of others.

We are all coming into the time of truth, perhaps making a soul connection to God expressing gratitude for our lives on what we have or achieved. Currently. I see all truths or denials held inside of us coming out in the open and then we can live our lives without ego and be able to move on, especially with an open-hearted relationship with others and a kind smile. Am I crazy in seeing this happen? You betcha!

We are all coming to the point of exhaustion experiencing new ideas and feelings, we are in a time trying to be accountable for our deeds as well as taking the responsibility for our old choices. If you need a solution, go for it now and figure out how to resolve it. By delaying your actions, you are in a state of denial and your so called truths will be revealed accordingly. . Every time you close the door on reality....it comes in from the windows. Remember, depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

You might also feel your shoe laces are still undone as another layer of us is being stripped away and you are seen naked in the mall. As said, the energies of what was deep inside of us crawls to the surface as we think....what's next!... We have been asleep for so long and been dormant. Now the energies are asking us to move forward and finish the old!! . In this new time, there are possibilities! You must question yourself by asking...what is my purpose? We are multi-dimensional beings and as we become more intuned with our perceptions and self, we can move forward and take action. Just clear your intensions and do not lie to yourself.. TRUTH is a loyal and pledged faithfulness.

As the planet turns on its axis and mankind sleeps on under the influence of the forces of darkness, may those faithful ones be awake upon thus lovely world of green and blue.

FROM MY OWN THOUGHTS....Through my own eyes

Do you ever celebrate miracles? You should make a habit of welcoming the miraculous into your life and take the time to feel thanks. The Universe embraces a grateful heart and gratitude lifts the spirit. The more you express the emotion, the more you will experience the flow of creation in a joyful way. This is connected to the Second Law of Creation which is the Law of attraction..."likes attract like." The Bible states it this way: "As a man thinketh, so is he."

You have probably "Decked the Halls" during this holiday season, running yourself ragged, drinking, eating and trying to feel some kind of merry. While that's all jolly good fun, take a minute to reflect on what you created this past year. What did you finish and what did you start? Did you release your anger or rid yourself of the people or situations that no longer play a constructive role in your life? Are you feeling in a fog, lack of emotion, depressed, in financial bondage? When you focus on the worst of life, you strengthen it. What did you attract in 2010 and what do you want to attract in the New Year. Remember you all came to planet earth, breathe the air, finish your karmic debts and populate cheer. Take some deep breaths as you think on it and digest. Become a creator of miracles, of new and joyful experiences. There are no pity parties allowed---not for you or anyone else---because when you are a conscious creator you are responsible for the quality and content of whatever you wish to draw toward yourself.

The recent eclipses, especially the one that fell on the Winter Solstice, are far more significant then the predicted future happenings on 12-21-12. From my point of view, the Maya Calendar is off, out of sync, and you are ALREADY well into 2012. You are already in a cycle of darkness, searching for the light and a pathway to new transformation and creativity. So much that is familiar has been difficult and much of it seems beyond our comprehension. That's only because you think of things as they were, of what may have been lost.

THE LIGHT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS WITHIN YOU. AS YOU MOVE FORWARD INTO AN UNKNOWN FUTURE, KNOW THAT IT IS THERE FOR YOU. Step into the role of creator because when you clear the old roads, new roads will appear. This is the time for seizing the reins and pointing yourself in the direction of FORWARD. And this is a time for the people on earth to begin preparing in earnest for the changes. Many prophecies have been given and I think most of them are confusing and contradictory. If greater chaos should come, make the effort to not focus on the day-to-day details. Instead, keep your attention on what you are creating in your own life. Sometimes that will require you to operate on not much more than trust.

Critical mass has not been reached yet. The earth and all who inhabit her are still on the throes of transformation. Whatever may come--earthquakes, tidal waves, storms, magnetic pulls, financial meltdowns, global depression--the repercussions will ripple out and touch every nook and cranny in the structure of what we call civilization. Emotional hysterics aren't going to help or contribute anything constructive. I feel that during the next two years, people will be forced to acknowledge the futility of that kind of wrong-headed effort. Yes sir, we are facing a tidal wave of leaving our old rhythms and patterns behind. Where will you find yourself in the wake of all that? What are you doing now to be the conscious creator of the content and quality of your life?...

I hope you all will contemplate the implications of this, and that it will enlighten and awaken you. I hope the result will strengthen your resolve to become captain of your own ship. Doom and gloom are not my thing but being aware definitely is!

May this be the reason and season of release, of opening your heart and seeing the miraculous around, and within you. And "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU"....... always

All love, peace and blessings follow***** 2011

AN ARMY OF MARLEY'S GHOSTS

2010-12-10T11:04:00.002-05:00

I thought I'd pass this along. Written by a friend, it has a fascinating and insightful holiday message.

{To properly understand this fable, one must know the Dickens' story of Scrooge. Either read the novel or watch the fine film, "A Christmas Carol."}

It was Christmas season once again. If one is really still and perfectly quiet, looking up into the sky above, imagination makes way for an absolute reality...One that we seldom ever sense. Through the ceiling of powder blue (or gray, depending on where you live), up past any cloud cover or ozone layer, if our focus flows further into the outer spaces... There it is! Some call it heaven, or nirvana, or the Central Sun... Whatever turns you on! And much was going on this Christmas season for we mere mortals. The elders were restless. We can fast forward into a council chamber where many of the adepts and higher souls were in session. Let's listen in:

Lord Krishna - Well, you all know what is going on down there in our realm of focus. Do I have to rehash the obvious?

Jesus The Christ - We get it. What in the heck are they dong to each other down there?!

Mohammed - Boy-o-boy, my followers are allowing such a minute number to lead them down that path of violence...

Abraham - Oh, and you think it is only your followers. What about my Israelis? Did they not learn anything from their holocaust?

Lord Krishna - OK, OK, listen, we all get it. My followers shame me with their disregard for what Ghandi preached...And gave his mortality for. Please...I am so disappointed?

Jesus The Christ - Well, I guess if the shame and disappointment is to go around, I get the largest share. My followers have been doing this throughout the world for centuries.

Lord Krishna - Well, I think it is time for us to act. If we do not intercede, these fools will destroy their planet and create such terrible karma. We have to take the next step.

It was Christmas eve. Georgie Bush, known as Junior Bush, was restless in his attempt at sleep. He had tried everything to relax...Nothing worked. Suddenly, he heard the weirdest noises. It almost sounded like...heavy chains scrapping the floor. The sounds got louder and louder. He looked over to Laura, and she was deep asleep. What in the hell was going on!?

He sat up. As he rubbed his eyes, he could feel the presence of something in the room. Then a bright, bright light almost blinded his tired eyes. It stood there, not more than ten feet from his bed. What!!? NO...How could it be...Ronald Reagan!! Yes, it was Reagan, or, more appropriately, Reagan's Ghost.

Junior Bush - Am I dreaming? What the hell is going on!?

Reagan's Ghost - What are dreams? What is real? Let me tell you Georgie. What is real is what we do in that which is the life you are now living. Me. It is too late for me...Well, let me say it is very late for me, so I must walk in between your world and the next one carrying the chains of my indiscretions and evil deeds.

Junior Bush - I didn't think you were all that bad. I thought you did good deeds. You gave us all hope to be a great country again.

Reagan's Ghost - No! I allowed myself to be used and manipulated by sinister men who cared only for greed and power. I gave away our economy to the very rich and ruined things for the working stiffs. I came from a working stiff background, and I dishonored my own people. I created wars of aggression for the oil interests. I let the banking con men destroy our free enterprise system...Oh, come on son, you must know deep inside that you have done even worse than me.

Junior Bush - Well, I listened to my advisors. You know it was my daddy who pushed me into this whole president thing. I was happy enough being governor and getting to go to the gym and work out and hang out without any pressures. Dick and Rummy and Condi and the others, they ran the government for me. I was just the point man.

Reagan's Ghost - You must take responsibility for what you have done, Junior. The attacks, unwarranted, on Iraq and Afghanistan. The torture, the utter devastation of millions of lives, of cities, of cultures. The giveaways to the cronies of you and your daddy. Junior, I have seen your chains - the ones that await you when you pass over. Repent son! Repent!

And so it was, on this Christmas eve night. Throughout the entire globe, visits like this one were being made. Bibi Netanyahu of Israel was visited by the ghost of Meir Kahane. Bin Laden was visited by the heads of the Black September Movement of the early 70s. Wall Street financiers were visited by men who were called the Robber Barons of the gilded age. Truman's ghost visited Obama, telling him how he was led astray by his advisors to create the National Security State and the Korean War. Allen Dulles ghost visited Don Rumsfeld. Cheney received Joseph Stalin's ghost...And on and on throughout the night. All those who were of the highest classes economically, politically and militarily throughout the world, had to deal with ghastly apparitions carrying heavy and noisy chains. By Christmas morning, just as with Ebenezer Scrooge in the novel, "Peace on earth and good will to men," circled the planet. A new year would bring an end to greed, corruption, hypocrisy, hunger, wars, etc.

Lord Krishna - Well, that was nice. It is good to see that the power of love can triumph over the dark forces...And, of course, the threat of heavy chains around their necks for who knows how long a time! Ha Ha!! How many of you guys will be at the New Years Eve party?

QUIET MEDITATION

2010-11-29T09:55:00.004-05:00

"This was a meditation fit for a Marine by Vanessa Gregory" -Men's Journal

The Marines engaged in a form of secular meditation called "mindfulness", which is characterized by paying attention to the present. A beginners exercise, for example, involved paying attention to concentrating on an area of contact between the body and whatever it is touching, like a chair for about 5 minutes. Wherever their minds wandered, the Marines were instructed to refocus. Even placing your attention to the sounds around you can put you in an altered state for relaxation.

Meditation improves concentration, zaps stress, increases memory, and promotes healthy restful sleep.

Here are a few exercises to get you started:

Boost concentration (5 minutes)
While sitting, use your hands to find tension in your brow, jaw, neck, and shoulders. Spend a half a minute or so trying to release it by rubbing the tension with your hands and relaxing the tightness in your mind. Then focus on the contact points between your body and the chair. Focus on the point where the pressure is greatest. Whenever your attention wanders, refocus it on that contact point, thinking about nothing else.

Relieve Stress (10 minutes)
Again, start by focusing on a contact point between your body and a chair. Then, switch your attention to a single sound. It could be traffic outside, or even something quiet like the hum of a computer. Alternate between the contact point and sound at a slow, steady pace. This will free your mind from stress. End the exercise by returning to the contact point, then slowly widen your focus outward to the rest of your body.

Induce Sleep (15 minutes)
This exercise should be done right before bedtime, either in a chair or lying down. Wiggle and flex your toes. Focus on the sensations in your feet. Pause, and continue to observe any feeling in your feet. Continue this pattern of flexing and resting sequentially throughout your body: ankles, knees, hips, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck jaw and eye sockets. Soldiers found this exercise to greatly improve sleep.

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF VENTING GOING ON AND HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING

2010-11-23T13:03:00.005-05:00

My mental"database" automatically gathers information from my clients about what's going on with people out there in the big, bad world. This week has been all about heavy energy, frustration, imbalance and a whole lot of venting that's going on. People have been mentioning an inner emptiness that is very noticeable to them.

We are influenced by many things, including the media, and we are subject to subliminal messages and other clever, deceptive ways of distracting us from truth or what is really real.
Our inner consciousness knows better and can tell the difference. It KNOWS better, in case you missed that the first time. Call it soul, inner self, higher self or whatever. It KNOWS the truth. But we get conditioned (aka "programmed") to perceive things through the ego self or the desire self and that part of us DOES NOT always know the difference. Can you see the problem? The ego self doesn't mind walking around hypnotized or mesmerized. Maybe the ego self doesn't even notice a lack of truth. The contradiction is easily sorted out when you make an effort to perceive everything through the lens of the inner self or soul.

My plan of action this Thanksgiving is to feel GRATITUDE. I advise you to do the same. It is a wonder drug for whatever you are going through. Make a list or just think about the many blessings in your life. Don't do this just on Thanksgiving but make a habit out of it, once a month, once a week, once a day. You'll have more energy, sleep better and you won't feel the drain of resistance holding you back or lowering your energy. Connecting with those who share the light and the flow of Gratitude will be the ultimate pick-me-up needed to help you balance and feel clearer and healthier. If you are having trouble finding the blessings in your life..then you are perceiving things from the perspective of ego. If counting your blessings is easy, then you can be pretty sure you are adding things up via the inner self. You won't have any problem recognizing the difference between the two.

From Modern Fiction, Virginia Woolf''s essay in which she writes:

"Let us not take it for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small," and goes on to say that even the most ordinary things can be rife with "sudden flashes of significance."

(Thanks to finding this for me Lin)

PROJECT NEW PARADIGM

Writing this blog has always been motivated by my personal and professional experiences. As a Clairvoyant, I am spending a lot of time helping people wake up and KNOW that we are living in a time of completing a spiritual journey. The journey is the one you have taken through many lifetimes. The completion is in coming full circle in order to move forward by getting off the proverbial wheel that goes 'round and 'round. No one can do the work for you so don't expect anyone to take responsibility for your lifetime(s). You created all of them for the purpose of experiencing, learning and growing. DEAL WITH IT!

There is and old saying that, "the truth will set you free." Funny how most people avoid the truth; the truth where you are in your life right now and how you got there. Look around you, open your eyes and don't be short sighted. We cannot go back to the way things were. The truth that sets you free has to do with the unpleasant situations you may be experiencing in this present earthly experience. Have you been putting off fixing what is happening in the NOW?
Have you been waiting and waiting, thinking it will get better if you just wait long enough?
These are the things that can no longer be avoided by sticking your head in the sand.

The seeds of new energy that are within us must be nurtured and cultivated in order to transcend the past. I "see" this process happening, as if mass consciousness is forming a bubble of flowing movement made up of good and powerful thoughts. When you work toward that, you are contributing to increasing the vibratory rate that will carry us forward....
When you move into avoidance and resistance, you are detracting from it. Thoughts of being a victim are over and done so you need to get off that merry-go-round NOW.

As enough people/souls get in the groove and the energy builds, the major shift will occur.
Make no mistake about it, the shift is coming. The only question is whether or not you will seize the opportunity to "stream" along with other creative souls who want balance and harmony again on earth. We all have to take the time to look within and change whatever has not been working and take responsibility for it, if we are to survive this incredible paradigm shift.

An excellent Abraham (Esther Hicks) quote:

"It is not your role to make others happy; it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with
who-you- really are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the benefit of observing you.
You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive. Or sick enough to help sick people get well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment!!"

Is there any question why I am encouraging you to move forward? It is the time that you awaken to your own power in order to enter the stream.
It is far past the stage of leading you.
IT IS NOW AT A STATE OF PUSHING YOU.......................

THE POWER OF CONSCIOUS BREATH

2010-10-24T17:33:00.004-04:00

This breathing exercise isn't so much an exercise as it is a focus. If you focus on how you are breathing, then you can't think about other things at the same time!!! This is known as conscious breath. Our automatic and unconscious breathing only fills our lungs to about 37% total capacity. By comparison, when a dolphin breathes, it utilizes almost 97% of its lung capacity. Dolphins and whales are conscious-breathing mammals They have to breathe deliberately in order to survive, so they do this all the time.

To begin, sit or lie down in a way that is comfortable for you. Take a few slow, deep breaths, expanding your diaphragm while inhaling. Allow the exhale to be natural and slow. At the bottom of the exhale, pause and tune into the stillness of the body. Don't force it or wait too long to take the next breath. Instead, get into a natural flow that is easy for you to follow. Pay attention to how the air feels going through your nasal passages and into your lungs. Keep breathing until you fill a bit tranced-out or "high." You can go about 5 to 10 minutes, but that's all you'll need.

Everyday stuff:

Whenever you find yourself stressing about things that are going on around you -- whenever you are caught up in something mentally -- use this simple breathing technique until you feel yourself slowing down. As you slow down you will feel the spaces within and without beginning to expand, and opening up around the issue or challenge. Just breathe with whatever feels fearful or threatening; don't try to resists anything. Stay in the natural flow. In other words, just be present with what is in this moment...right now...right now...right now. By getting still, you give your larger self, your I AM, the opportunity to DOWNLOAD the appropriate insight or solution to whatever is happening. The solution may not appear right then and there but it will come. The whole point of this is to stop reacting from your mind because when you are caught up in negative mental noise, you are also feeling negative emotion. If negative emotion doesn't get expressed...then it can adversely impact your physical body and the people around you. It can become a vicious circle. Conscious breathing reduces noise, diminishes ego control and instills a sense of well-being and safety. The conscious-breath is super-oxygenated, and it can calm and energize at the same time.

Finally, try this: as you are breathing, chant inside yourself the words I AM, I AM, I AM. This will intensity the focus and help to center you within your physical body and energy field.

Every breath you take will energize your well-being!

IS PLUTO DOING IT'S MAGIC?

2010-10-11T17:50:00.002-04:00

For those of you who don't know a lot about astrology, your natal astrological chart provides a map of the sky at the time of your birth. The planets will move and associate with one another in various ways, shifting that original map throughout your life. Astrology is the art of symbolic interpretation of the map, explaining what it all means in your personal life as well as the collective.

The outermost planet (now considered a dwarf planet) and slowest moving is Pluto. In Roman mythology, Pluto is considered the God of the underworld, ruling death and rebirth/regeneration. It represents our unconscious urge to transform repressed ego-desire energies into group-desire energies in order to live out your role in societies evolution,
It exerts long-term pressure, chipping away one little piece at a time, until dramatic shifts occur.
Pluto now has changed signs to Capricorn, and that can tell us more about where the chipping away will happen. Capricorn rules government, institutions, the big structures, like corporations, and the status quo. When the God of the underworld is in charge it's though someone turned on a cosmic Roter Rooter machine. Pluto will always root out imbalances, corruption, whatever needs to be purged and transformed. Because Pluto is so slow-moving, it is closely associated with the transformational process of evolution. Who and what we are today is not what we will be when Pluto in Capricorn finishes the job, sometime in 2023.

We can already see some of its work in the banking scandals and in the government/corporate handling of the Gulf Oil spill, which is far from over, Pluto will keep digging, deeper and deeper, and deeper, until whatever needs to be exposed can be seen for what it is.

If you apply this to your personal life, then you can understand that Pluto will draw deep psychological issues out in the open. There may be some "no pain, no gain" in this process but ultimately, Pluto encourages us to be reborn, and build something new. Holding onto cherished structures in whatever area your life Pluto does its magic, whether it is marriage finances or career, etc., just isn't an option. This is the chunk of time in which you will be letting go and seeing any issues that have been hidden. Many will experience intense power struggles in a way that forces you to deal with your own inner demons. The surprise may be that there is no monster inside of you but simply a call to let it go, break down, release and then rebuild. If you are willing to eliminate whatever isn't working in your life--and Pluto will show you exactly what and where that is--then you will be meeting Pluto more than half-way. At the same time, you may discover strengths and a deeper faith within you, greater and more resilient than you have ever known. This will help you tap into your own inner power source and guidance system.
This is no time for lightweights!!!

Pluto rules: Death, sex and taxes as well as insurance, estates, births and abandonment issues and your financial status can change for the better or worse.

As the books say, the KEY WORDS ARE: TRANSFORMATION, DESTRUCTION, CREATION, REGENERATION, HEALING, RENEWAL, POWER STRUGGLES AND UPHEAVAL.

This isn't a time for fear, but for acceptance*****

2010-10-04T16:24:00.002-04:00

I'd like to be writing about something uplifting or maybe telling a funny story to put a little laughter in everyone's day, but that's not what's happening. As I go about my daily work, trying to help and be of service to others, the discussions with my clients continue to contain many heavy issues.
I hope that some of you are having good times, feeling fun, prosperity, perfect health and lots of love. For most, that's definitely not what's happening!!

We've been going through some heavy life's tests lately, for the purpose of experiencing and knowing what stays and what has to be let go of. Having an identity crisis? Feeling a loss of confidence? Fearing wrong decisions and constantly second-guessing what you are thinking and doing? These are not trivial things.

The events in your life serve as triggers. They are designed to teach, to encourage soul searching and going within. The reason is to help you be truly conscience about what you want your life to be, to examine your objectives, and really see what is working and what isn't.
So, the difficulties come from the outer world and the solutions, insights and power come from within or the inner self. One does reflect the other with the internal life being the center of it all..

The time of destruction and regeneration may not be entirely pleasant. In fact, it has been downright awful for a lot of people. The more tightly you hold onto something or someone that has run it's course, the more resistant you are about letting go and the more difficult your experience will seem. The more you allow the past to fade.....and that is as recent as an hour ago, the more you open to the future and allow it to be born. If you can do this, the potential for positive change is very great. Look to the Tower in the Tarot or the story of the Phoenix as powerful archetypes that are worth contemplating.

As the chaos escalates, your amazing intuitive abilities will become more important than ever before. Pay attention to "hunches" and those split second choices/decisions that guide you in whatever challenges you may be facing. YOU are not powerless in any situation when you remember to rely on what you know how to do. With use, the ability only gets stronger and stronger.

A friend passed along a quote from Mark Twain that I find insightful:

"It's ain't what you don"t know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure
that just ain't so."

2010-09-13T17:34:00.012-04:00

Aren't you tired of concentrating on old thoughts???

Aren't crises exhausting? On occasion, we wonder if all these crises are normal and if life needs to be lived this way. Even though we are exhilarated by handling these crises and they do bring out our best skills, they leave us feeling a little drained. Could it be that these things don't just happen to us? Could it be that we have a hand in their creation?

Look around. There are a few who don't live from crisis to crisis. They even seem serene. Do they have what we want?

When we live life fully, we allow ourselves to taste the range of our experiences. We see what we see, feel what we feel, and know what we know. We accept every opportunity to live out of our own souls.

Sounds simple, doesn't it?

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

2010-09-06T16:28:00.009-04:00

WE MAY BE CLOSER TO AN AWAKENING OF HUMAN SPIRIT

I've never heard the word PRAYER spoken as loud or as often as I have in the past few years. I don't necessarily mean religious prayer but the more personal reaching out in the higher self or God force or whatever you want to call it. That tells me we are getting very close to making a breakthrough in mass consciousness, closer than we have been in nearly 26,000 years.
The conditions are right as we go through the pains and sorrows of our personal life, the nation and the world issues. In contrast to the outer friction and chaos, we seek the inner calm and peace through prayer or meditation. I don't think that's some random coincidence.

I see it as another piece of a grand cycle, one we have experienced many times before. Earth through thousand of centuries, has taken wrong turns, always ending in some kind of disaster or destruction, and then we begin again....Think "Groundhog Day" (the movie) because the basic premise is similar. You live the same day or experience or lifetime, over and over again, until we get it right!

So the spiritual awakening has begun again. With this grand cycle we go through an ascension process, one in which we come to experience and to truly know ourselves as light beings, as divine spark. It does not happen in an instant or flash, at least not for most of us. It can take many years or many lifetimes, but the timing of events does not matter. The awakening is all that matters.

Let's start with the VIOLET FLAME...
Violet is a higher frequency in the color spectrum. It is linked with the crown chakra..that which is open for us to receive messages. The violet flame allegedly transmutes energies allowing a soul to burn off the Karmic ties that bind it to the emotional grid or physical realms. It's purpose is to transmute negative energy into positive energy. Some call it a tool to help you release Karma, raise your frequency and conscious awareness, accelerate spiritual growth, and possibly to activate your DNA. When used, you may see or sense heat from the violet flame when it is invoked in-correctly.

The Violet Flame can also help you to deal with emotional and psychological problems to some degree. Just try to believe in it's power---as it can help to relieve stress, depression and anger.
* Trust that this is not a substitute for professional help in the case of clinical depression*
And so I like to meditate and bring forth this ray to get my energy flow going,,,,

Spiritual light manifests in 7 rays. It is a vibration that expresses the qualities of the Christ Consciousness symbolized by its color. Mastering these rays bring ultimate change and awareness and the 7 colors can be a part of your auric spectrum.

FIRST... (RAY BLUE) Will or Power... Purpose, Positivity and leadership are the qualities.
SECOND...... (YELLOW) LOVE-WISDOM..and BALANCE
FORTH..(WHITE) HARMONY THROUGH CONFLICT..Gods purity and oneness for a higher purpose The ray of beauty, art, and creative expression in all forms. Through conflict bringing order.
FIVE...(GREEN) TRUTH, HEALING AND RESTORING
SIX ...(PURPLE AND GOLD) PEACE, SERVICE AND DEVOTION
SEVEN..(VIOLET) This is the Ray which links spirit and matter and works through the law of God , ritual and ceremony .

THE BEGINNINGS OF A QUANTUM AWAKENING OR LEAP

2010-08-16T18:19:00.002-04:00

I haven't written anything for a few weeks because I was out of state visiting family and friends, trying to rest and get a fix on what's happening now on the planet. It's not that life elsewhere is so different that surprised me but that is so much the same. The ever-widening separation exists everywhere between those who get the idea that the new energies are building and those who haven't got a clue. I don't know anyone who has a complete understanding of what a quantum awakening is going to mean in every individuals life because we are each one of us building our new path one step at a time. But there is no doubt in my mind that some are conscious of a huge shift going on and some still are asleep at the wheel.
Basically, many have not thought ahead enough to making new choices!

If you are anything like me, you are more and more seeking those of like mind because the alternative is becoming very uncomfortable. I gave a lot of thought to this while I was traveling and I came to a few conclusions about it.

1) Because action follows thought, you can examine what you are thinking about in order to see more clearly where you are and where you are going. If you don't like what you see then change it. You have the free will to choose to be positive and create from joy.

2) There are multiple pathways open to you. If you don't like the one you're on then change it. You have the free will to choose to stay the present course or take another route.

3) Choose consciously and take responsibility for the result. Doing otherwise says that part of you is still asleep. If you are asking yourself, "How did I get into this mess?", then you are beginning to wake up and smell the coffee. What you see may not be pretty but at least it's a start.

Being conscious or awake forces you to confront your own inhibitions and self-imposed restrictions. You may want to feel a new freedom and break away from whatever you "think" is holding you down. If you do, you will begin to feel very restless. Events and circumstances will make it clear to you that you have neglected much that needs to be done and healed and let go of. As the existing structure becomes more and more intolerable, those feelings and thoughts may bring about a change of residence, break-up of a long relationship or some other major change.

On the other hand, the act of confronting inhibitions and self-imposed restrictions may be one that is easy and completely comfortable for you. The existing structure may stay basically as it is, and you will grow within it, seemingly without effort. You will seize every opportunity to expand from where you are, without feeling the need to overthrow anything.

One thing you can be sure is that change is in the air you breathe. How it manifests in your individual life depends very much of what is needed for your personal evolution. Some people need dramatic change and that's fine. Others do not, and that's fine too. However you move through this time, understand that you can no longer set up barriers, such as taking responsibility for the actions or thoughts of others. And you can't operate from fear because that is part of the old way, part of the sleep-walker's approach to life.

At any rate, the old walls are breaking down crumbling before our very eyes. I always believed endings can be magical when new beginning do follow. Just TRUST the "unknown" through this magical process....

2010-07-20T18:08:00.002-04:00

This transition came in for the NEW EARTH..From ARCHANGEL MICHAEL
From the "Light Workers" Channeled by Meredith Murphy

***I thought it time my readers got acquainted with higher knowledge channeled from the angelic realms...

"There is a fierceness in the air of late...which you experience as urgency. What we experience as fierceness is something you would welcome being on the side of, and indeed are, for this means protectiveness. Unrelenting protection. It is this energy which is peeling forth within the cosmos in alignment and support from Lightworkers who are bearing heavy loads and experiencing the also fierce clearing winds of change and the increasing affronts of those still decidedly participating in duality as the light increasingly leaves this holographic form: resulting in an increasingly unbalanced sphere and a local (and therefore limited) perception of current worldly events and experiences.

The matter at hand is filled with great joy for those of you who have long awaited the second coming of the Christ Consciousness for it is now as you well know and FEEL being assembled in your midst---within YOU. The love factor is increasing! The orientation to unity is at hand. The collective expression of consciousness as ONE is becoming increasingly possible in the collective as the holographic template of Unity Consciousness is amplified by those who stake their allegiance and unremittingly orient their thoughts on the truth..the Law of One. Going beyond this is not necessary. For all IS within the Law of One and the unfolding and particularization of that to his or her own, such is the amazing creative diversity of the Earth Plane.

Humans and starseeds, dolphin energies and non-physical sentries who have joined this Lightworker Collective* to see what is taking place: report back to all you encounter: the time of Love is at hand. The time of ONE is at hand. The Law of One is in order.

The time for shifting all your eggs to the interwoven basket of your multidimensional consciousness is NOW and within the basket you will safely go with the flow on a ride that takes you ashore in a new land. Terra Nova.

The emerging New Earth is fertile, diverse, thriving organism unlimited by the distortion of the past, and duality--rather alchemically transforming duality with love and forming, with the diversity and the knowledge of One, a trinity. A divinely stable and self-perpetuating standard of life which expands, expands, expands...eternally.

No more will there be the need for death or destruction of matter, no! We are moving into a domain. All-that-is, as a result of our collective coming together in orientation and perception, to an endlessly creative and expanding cycle which until now has never existed anywhere. And the potential for this will exist everywhere.

In the past the Earth has gone through, as did all of creation, many cycles of creation, then return to the void----as your caterpillar returns to the nothingness of squishy form? No..Total void. Then rebirth--as in the Big Bang type of
re-birth. No Longer. What will emerge from the Law of One reaching the pitch we are approaching the Ninth Octave, is unlimited creative potential.

As we turn toward the narrow opening which is the space of infinite light and Oneness, we move beyond all that has been--beyond what is called chaos and what has been generativity--to self-perpetuating wholeness.

THE TIME IS NOW

To experience this in your Lightbody, do this simple thing: Place the infinity symbol at your third eye. Feel the architecture as your third eye connects to your heart chakra. Now we have combined knowing with love. (smile) Information/Light plus love!

Now turn your attention to the center point of the infinity symbol and know this is the portal we are moving toward; you feel this as the compression of timelines you are experiencing as opening to multidimensional awareness.

Although not all of you have parallel lives at this time, many of you do. And as you awaken to these , there is a unifying of your sense of self and a mirroring of "As Above So Below" which is creating a thoughtform and experience of Oneness. Heaven on Earth.

You are healing. You are cross-pollinating your creations from multiple perspectives. You, within yourself, are a network of focal points creating and informing all channels for expression within your focus. It is a Renaissance of Divinity, my beloved ones and Family of the Light.

In closing, let us know take a moment to recognize the auspicious moment we now share.

Return in your hearts to a state of quiet and stillness. Realize that now, as in the past that as promised, and after what seemed an eternal wait: the green grass veins the dry cracked ground...and notice one more, the quiet, radiant, eternally burning light within your heart--realize this for what it is. GOD goes again to birth.

I AM THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL"

ARE YOU SLEEPING THROUGH THE FIRE?

2010-07-18T19:21:00.003-04:00

Many significant changes are happening on the planet, with more to come. The time of intense and powerful energies is well underway and the pressure will continue to build.
Perhaps more of you will wake up in the next few months and leave your old dream state behind. The alarm has gone off and the wake-up call will only get louder. For some, life may feel dark, with no noticeable movement. That won't last so don't get locked into any mind-set about it. Others of you have begun to perceive a new feeling about the shifts in your personal life. At least you have been creating movement even if you are not thrilled about it. Everyone feels wobbly no matter what your state of mind is. You barely have a chance to adjust to the changes when another wave of them comes racing toward you.

Any new template can make you feel that you are in a chaotic state. Please don't be impatient or disgusted. Know that the events and changes can be positive is used and applied correctly. Keep the lines of communication open with yourself and the people around you. Think before you speak because with these intense energies, relationships can get out of control. Sweep your ego under the carpet and do not judge. Everyone, including you, is entitled to believe or think what they will.
Walk on.....

I've already written about the importance of cleaning up your life and I have offered several different thoughts about putting your emotional discontent in the recycle bin. Keep on keeping with that! Whatever has been hidden comes out anyway and no matter how this manifests for you, it's important to be diligent about acknowledging and letting go of pain, shame, anger, or sadness. Whether you feel a trial by fire or its power to purify, keep the flow of release going.

2010 is the year of Transformation, giving us insights about our potential to be co-creators in the process of change. That means taking responsibility for
EVERYTHING in your life. All energies are immensely active this summer, highlighting the importance of unity. Feeling unity within yourself and with those who are like-minded shall bring a wave of consciousness that will reveal the way in which your political and economic freedoms are inextricably intertwined. There are far-reaching lessons here.

In a centrally planned economy, the state inevitably infringes on what you do, what you enjoy and where you live. You are being challenged through all these crises to act on your own and believe what you believe. So...go into your "inner world" and do not look at the "outer world" for peace, comfort and love. I've read that "Powerful bureaucracies don't attract angels---they attract people who enjoy running the lives of others. They tend to take care of their friends before taking care of others." That is something to ponder.

You have chosen to be here and now for this incredible shift in consciousness, to understand what UNITY really means. Will you wake up and take the ride?? Will you ride it confidently with strength?
All aboard....it's as free as my Blog!!

CAN GOD BE DEAD?

2010-07-04T14:54:00.002-04:00

If you believe that God is dead or, like an atheist that God never existed in the first place, then how would you describe evil? To me evil is the absence of light.
Because everything is made of light, or energy if you prefer that word, maybe it would be more accurate to say that evil is the inability or even the refusal to perceive light. So, if there are those who can't perceive light, experience it and know it, then I would take the idea another step and state that evil is also invested in keeping others from perceiving light. I refer to them as "The Dark Brotherhood" and it's possible that they are descended from the so-called fallen angels.

What they promote is clearly reflected in the contrast between: dark/light, greed/generosity, sorrow/joy, truth/lie, love/hate. Who they are can be seen all around you, at the highest levels of large institutions of government, religion, education, and down to those you interact with day-to-day.

I am not attracted to being part of a war between good and evil. I'm not interested in drawing battle lines or promoting conflict of any kind. Instead, I believe at the core of my being that this all comes down to the choices you make every day. Do you choose to perceive light, experience and know it?
No matter how small, lost, unmoved, or poor you may feel, the saying goes...
"It is better to light one candle, than to curse the darkness."

A FEW THOUGHTS TO PONDER ON:

2010-06-28T17:57:00.005-04:00

Anger covers pain
Guilt traps amger
Anger traps the pain and we are left with hurt
Not dealing with the pain leads to depression
When angry, we are powerful in a false sense and it covers up our powerlessness..

When someone says, "they are afraid to hurt someones feelings", it is really a lie they tell themselves. The real truth is their fear of being rejected!

Having time alone is the only thing that will keep us human..

When I try to control myself and those around me, I am setting myself up for failure.

"Nostalgia is amnesia turned around" (Adrienne Rich)
(How sweet it is to remember, remembering adds to our history and it gives it dimension. Remembering and honoring are important, but different from longing for what never was)

Only when I am aware of the present, will I have the opportunity to be fully alive.

When you are feeling stressed or tense, do something that feels counterintuitive, relax your lips and part them slightly, you will notice an immediate simultaneous
shift in your energy from tense to calm...

An Historical commentary by John Lennon:
"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself.
You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nuture it.

PRAYER FOR THE GULF

2010-06-23T10:10:00.002-04:00

Well, here I am again writing about the mega beginning of world crisis. Here is a letter someone sent to me regarding her feelings in prayer.

"I am passing this along as I felt it is in accord with what the animals in the Gulf have been showing me. What the Dolphins showed me was they did not want our pity. Our pity was a burden for them. They told me that none of the creatures in the Gulf are victims. All who are there, as it is their life line to be there. The dolphins have been working to support the work the humans are doing to stop the oil. They know some of them will die and they are not worried about that.
I will be saying Dr. Emoto's prayer. This prayer will give huge support to the water and all creatures who live in or on the water."

WELL, HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO!

DR. MASARU EMOTO'S HEALING PRAYER FOR THE GULF

Focusing our energies in response to the Gulf tragedy and for healing the waters and its inhabitants_________
This is a prayer from Dr. Emoto who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research revealed that water physically responds to emotions.

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr. Emoto himself, has proposed.

"I SEND THE ENERGY OF LOVE AND GRATITUDE TO THE WATER AND ALL LIVING CREATURES IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND ITS SURROUNDINGS.
TO THE WHALES, DOLPHINS, PELICANS, FISH, SHELLFISH, PLANKTONS, CORALS. ALGAE, AND ALL LIVING CREATURES........I AM SORRY.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
THANK YOU.
I LOVE YOU"

.........So set your intentions as you are powerful especially with united energy so we can literally shift the balance of the destruction that is happening.
PLEASE JOIN ME***

COSMIC WEATHER REPORT

2010-06-20T11:40:00.005-04:00

As quoted by Mark Borax soul level Astrologer:
" Jupiter and Uranus come together in the first degree of Aries, a hot spot that packs a pure blast of willpower like no other point in the Zodiac. Jupiter in the grand design that high spirit forces hold for the Universe.
Uranus is the highest consciousness. When these two conjoin at the beginning of Aries, it's like touching two live wires. Destiny meets emotion, firing the will. Explosion is inevitable. What gets most exploded are our old assumptions.
There are times when spirit works slowly, gradually, aloofly, at a distance, to prod our species forward. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES! This is the time for the Maker of lightning and Master of Conscious to blast a greater will into the sagging soul of the species.

The world is changing. Old structures collapse. Fond thought forms are dying. Every assumption you were taught about the way things are is an offering you're being summond to place in the fire. For too long dreams have been stalled, soul fires dampened. Evolution sputtered, raged, and stalled. Now, like the 1960's, blasts of will power are shaking the rafters. Your part is to believe the future can be better than the past. Your part is to let your old life blow away and make way for who you really are.

Change doesn't happen when enough people meet to decide about change. Change doesn't happen when you hold conventions about the matter of change. Change doesn't even happen when you convince people of the need for it. CHANGE HAPPENS WHEN THE UNDERGROUND FOR EVOLUTION SWELLS TO CRITICAL MASS, AND, LIKE A DAMMED RIVER SET FREE, SURGES THROUGH THE WORLD AND CAN NO LONGER BE STOPPED!."

*My thanks to Jill W. for sending Marks work to me which are exactly my sentiments regarding my feelings dealing with the thousands of people I deal with and hear.
But, thanks Mark for letting the bells ring out!!!

"FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT"

It could be a bumpy ride.

Well, well a tough major full moon lunar eclipse in the sign of Capricorn takes place on June 26th. This can make you feel as the old mainstays of your life are fading out of the picture and you could feel just plain odd throughout the summer and into September. Cardinal signs of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra in particular may experience extreme anger at all the upsets during this period but everyone will feel a change in the air.

The New Moon on June 12th will be a welcome but temporary respite giving you the opportunity to catch your breath and gain some balance before the effects of the lunar eclipse comes into play. New Moons are always inspirational and we are coming into a time when that will be needed.

After that, disruptions and upsets, sudden changes and shifts can test your mental and emotional abilities. Whatever makes you feel secure in life will rumble including the financial global markets. Eclipses bring change. Lunar eclipses always refer to the past, endings and culmination points. Solar eclipses mark new beginnings and we have on of those coming up too on July 11th.
Eclipses bring your attention to weakness and strength points in relationships and in life in general. They tell you where you need to take responsibility and shine a spotlight on the areas that must change.

If you feel the need for solitude and quiet time, then you should give yourself the space for that. Meditation and deep breathing should be in your tool kit in order to maintain your calm and self healing. Remain observant and do your best to take in the knowledge that the lunar eclipse in particular brings to you. Quite frankly tensions can run amuck during this time and a little of everything can burst onto the scene. Don't get caught up in the potential volatility when unexpected events happen. The need for quiet time may mean less socializing and that's fine!! It maybe better to give into that, than to start bumping into the hard angles that surround you.

I have heard it said that these lunar and solar eclipses (2 weeks apart) are as powerful as three full moons put together. They can bring on uncomfortable power surges. It is better to reassess than to take action. It is better to hold back than to push foreward. It is better to remain still than to bounce off the walls.
Remember to breathe deeply, hold steady. Remind yourself that it will pass and that you will emerge stronger and better informed at the other end.

INTUITION

2010-05-27T12:24:00.005-04:00

Our minds are mental pools which flow the thoughts of good, which are the thoughts of love, generosity, peace, poise and power. Whenever there is stagnation in our mental state, we discover that the reason is because we have not permited this flow. Everything moves in circles as this is the way of life and what we refuse to give, we refuse to accept. We long to be free from burdens and released from doubt and fear as well as uncertainty. How about security that will take away fear from our lives? And so, we pray for it all to come to us.

We try to activate manifestation to discover spiritual tools to use and mind treatments to activate new thought principles and even mystical illumination to open us now to create our own beliefs and realities. So, the resolution of this seeming duality can bring the fulfillment and happiness we all desire. We must learn to trust our intuition as well as feelings for this is the God within you guilding you.
It takes courage to go against the tide of worldly appearances, but this is the challenge and needed to sharpen your intuition.

Many of my clients have asked me how I got to the point to sharpen my knowing and intuition. I could say it came from my DNA and some family practices from my parents generation, but the answer is following through, not letting my feelings flow and as the old saying goes, if you don't use it, you lose it!

One sunny day in September some years back, my Mom living in Florida asked me to go to my brothers grave as it was his Birthday and she could not get there. Saying yes, got myself to his grave stone and was so busy praying for him didn't realize that the sky blackened, trees swaying that when I was through I thought I was in a time warp and it was night (I don't believe I was there for more then a half hour)
I then heard the voices of spirits crying out to me from the grave sites. I was scared being all alone in the dark and wanted to run away fast. Looking for the entrance I came in on found it was locked, went to another, also gate was closed.
Now my intuition was lost and I viewed myself being locked in to the next day, listening to all the howls of spirits. I starred at the closed gates and put my intuition in gear and found the front entrance which was gratefully open.
By the way, I never went back alone..........

After composing myself at home, went through my fears as well as prayed for all the lost souls that needed help and restore the faith in myself. I never doubted again what I thought felt real to me or for my clients in fact. TRUST is not an option to what one feels coming in from the God within as it does carry a resonsibility to go along with it. My suggestion is: work with yourself before working with others!

You need to learn how to use expanded awareness as we all have it somewhere.
The nature of prophesy is the foreknowledge of an event called pre-cognition which means to know in advance. You need to put your mind on another level but unfortunately for me, most information that comes through about world events are very negative. That is why I try to inform regarding the how too's of leaving the doom and gloom to maybe change the worlds thinking. You need to seek inspiration or what inspires you to target getting the fulfillment of your desires and center your consciousness with certain excercises to do. Learn how to breathe correctly to keep your mind open and welcome whatever comes in and sharpen your awareness....

SLEEP TIGHT EVERY NIGHT!

**** Every night someone thinks about you before going to sleep *****

(especially around the time of the full moon)

Be back soon regarding how to use your intuition (sweet dreams)

REFORM AND REMAKE

2010-05-16T17:14:00.002-04:00

Spring is well underway, the season in which earth is renewed and, in a sense, reborn. Spring puts into play refreshing new energy and it is a good thing to ask yourself how you can best put it to use. I know you are trying to make positive changes in your life and that some days are easier than others. You feel lazy, maybe depressed and just not your old self. Maybe things aren't happening as fast as you expected but don't let that deter you. There shall be more movement as we get closer to the fall.

If you have a strong desire to REFORM and REMAKE whatever is happening within and around you, then you are in tune with this earthly season. While "spring cleaning" sounds like a cliche, it's a worthwhile activity that helps you get down to the basics of cleaning out closets, the basement, the garage, kitchen cabinets, working from the inside out. At the same time, you can use your personal power to continue to clean up and clear out yourself, just as I hope you have been doing for awhile now. As you lighten the personal and spiritual baggage you've been carrying around, you will be amazed by the new energy you are setting into motion.

Opening the windows and doors to a refreshing spring breeze, clears the air, and maybe you can do the same in your personal relationships. Use this clearing time wisely by working or visiting with friends or family members who make you feel good,those you benefit from being around, spiritually and energetically. Perhaps those who can help straighten out the situations in your life that have been sources of trouble. Ask yourself..."Who wants to grow with me?" The answer will give you some idea of who you should be connecting with. Conversely, when you are willing to settle for relationships that do not meet your needs, you are participating in self abuse. If that sounds familiar, then you have more spring cleaning to do than you thought.

Whatever the case, take this time to restore and rejuvenate your sense of well being. Find something that makes you feel lifted, whether it is planting flowers, eating well, listening to music or just sitting by a shade tree with a friend. Enjoy and appreciate these moments of peace and contentment. While we await the next step in evolution, happiness is not something to pursue, it is something we need to just let happen. The THIRST FOR ACTION will come soon enough. Just balance out this year in peace, calm and with contentment and appreciation for what you have.

On another note.....Saturday night, while talking with a friend about the many space vehicles seen over New Jersey, I asked if they were really from another galaxy (this friend is a pro in UFO Investigations) Turns out, they are really the real deal, probe ships over the Atlantic measuring something, although we weren't sure what. Together we saw gasses emanating from an underground volcano, activity in the Bermude Triangle area and an earthquake in Puerto Rico. Much to our surprise, reports came in on Sunday (today) that there has been a 5.8 in Puerto Rico. Looks like there is more shaking going on, and more to come. Stay tuned!!

FROM GOD.COM

2010-05-06T14:33:00.002-04:00

HELP ME TO CHANGE THE WORLD not just the planet, but, the world that exists in your mind and head. There are certain tools you know.. as I have placed each atom in your consciousness to be aware, loving and independent. Whatever your religious philosophies with their own point of view, understand, we all have the same life force behind and within all of us. All have equal power. The thoughts and intentions that are not with the creators mind and heart, are no longer acceptable, tolerable nor desirable. So I say to all who are in human form right now..the walls are falling down, separating those or shall I say "the wheat from the chaff".

All are equal in the eyes of God for all are from God and made of God. It is from this understanding we can free ourselves from enslavement, negativity and move forward. See with the new eyes I have given beneath and beyond what our linear mundane eyes see. Keep together with those who make you feel good as those of similar energies can help the assimilation process in dealing with the heaviest density on earth at this time. Join together as those who remain in the old ways are like heavy rocks trying to enter through a sieve with small holes. Only those who have become light beings are able to enter into the new reality I have placed for your betterment. No one shall be kept out with the changes permeating the planet, however, it will just physically not be possible for dense energies to remain (the reason for your fatigue).

I am aware you still remember the days when you were carefree and gay and not encumbered by a myriad of decisions. Haven't I put enough data on the web from light workers, media, mediums, religious sectors, ghost hauntings, movies, life on other planets with devastation still on going to make you all wake up? Certainly, you are not the only species that exist and we all together do influence all forms of life as well as the changes on the planet as well as other heavenly bodies. Have you scoffed it all off? Doesn't pain, death, racism as well as your civil liberties being taken away make a difference? Are you indifferent to it all?
Maybe, a polar shift is necessary for you to all wake up in a time so intense....

You can no longer live within your old belief system letting the other guy take care of your needs. Life still possesses a sense of wonderment. Don't go by the book...write your own script. All is possible when you are masters of your own thoughts, destiny and what you believe in your own reality. Ask yourself if you have remained stuck in one position rigid in your thoughts and actions. Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take..but...by the moments that take your breath away.

Wisdom is born from rich experiences. Peace gained through acceptance of yourself and others, and to be content is to live a life fully and well.

"The fruits of life fall into the hands of those who climb the tree and pick them"
Earl Tupper

PERCEPTIONS

2010-04-30T17:55:00.002-04:00

My daughter #3 sent me an email the other day, suggesting that I should write more true stories about what goes on in my life. I guess she thinks I'm fascinating, which makes me laugh although, secretly, as a mother, her opinion pleases me. Also, she feels that the work I do with my clients contains valuable insights that can be helpful to all of us. I definitely agree and I have drawn on those experiences--if only in a general way that protects a client's identity--in some previous postings.

Trends, fads, styles, fixations come and go in waves and over the many years of doing consulting work, I've seen patterns of behavior, concerns and problems that arise in bulk, sometimes over days or weeks. All of a sudden I'll get a large number of phone calls from people who are changing life styles, jobs or getting pregnant. It signals to me that one of those waves is gathering momentum and everyone seems to pick up on it at the same time.

Right now, I am being bombarded with calls about unhappy love scenarios. SHE has invested time and effort and HE doesn't want to commit. HE suspects that SHE is cheating but SHE denies it. HE feels used. SHE feels used. HE does everything right for her and SHE doesn't appreciate it. HE doesn't make enough money. HE wants more sex and SHE'S too tired from working long hours. It goes on and on.

Consider two people who are at the airport and their flight is delayed. One person thinks, not again and why do these things happen to me and always go wrong? The other person decides that this is a nice opportunity to unwind and catch up on some reading. Different perspectives on the same situation can bring about very different experiences. If you are at an impasse in a relationship, it may be the time to sit back and take a look at things from a different perspective. Or, it may be time to take a break, or, it may be time to move on. I can't offer a conclusion (except in private sessions) to whatever may be going on but I can say that the time you have on this earth is short and you can either make the most of it and get the best out of it or you can decide to float along in misery, fear and unhappiness.

HERE'S A WAY TO LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE:

You spend your youth nervous, fearful and insecure because you have not yet learned the tools that are necessary to deal with real life situations. Your twenties are spent making mistakes, correcting them amd then making them again.
Your thirties arrive and you are starting to come into your own, trying not to make the same mistakes yet again. At times you worry about insignificant things, not realizing how easy it can be to move past issues.
Your forties come faster and you are finally getting it if you're lucky. You rub your eyes awake and begin to believe more in yourself. Maybe you pay more attention to what your gut tells you and that helps you to be less afraid. You have more confidence. You are kind of wishing for a slower pace, not wanting to feel you are always rushing somewhere.
Your fifties arrive even faster. Could be the kids are grown and you can be a little more selfish with your time. You realize that the years just blew past you and you may wonder how the heck that happened? You make a firm decision to have fun again and then you start counting how many years you have left and all the things you have been wanting to do.
By the time your sixties roll around, you are probably enjoying yourself a little more.
The fabulous seventies may bring some slowing down, don't give a heck what people tell you or think, maybe more sleep and leisure time is needed, but also a longing for that old frantic way of life that is now behind you.

If you live your life--your whole life--as though there is no tomorrow, you may speed up the groweth process and stop wasting time and energy feeling nervous, depressed, afraid. If your relationship isn't working for you, ask yourself what you are getting from it and if you need to go away and think about it, or walk away. Or...get off your butt and make the relationship work better. THE POINT IS THAT IT'S ALL OVER IN A FLASH AND IF YOU SQUANDER YOUR TIME HERE....WELL, THAT'S THAT!!!!
Do the things that make you feel good because they have tremendous power to draw even more of life's riches to you. THAT is the LAW OF ATTRACTION. It works in love relationships just as well as it does in the airport when the flight is delayed.
Yup...the choice is yours.
Remember, our thoughts are powerful. They determine how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we see the world. They can imprison us in fear and doubt or liberate us from pain and suffering. Also, magical or a nightmare....

A GREAT AFFIRMATION

2010-04-18T00:00:00.003-04:00

While I was working in Florida, Port St. Lucie to be exact, I was working in the Premier Wellness Center, run by Dr. Bill Jensen and his office of fabulous healers. This affirmation caught my eye on one of the desks. When I inquired who wrote this paper, as I thought it was quite good, no one knew so I thought I could use this and share it with all of you. I believe it covers it all but who says you can't change it to fit all your needs. The surprise to me was that Dr, Jensen has all his employees every morning go into a circle and recite this together, Pretty neat Bill!

THE PUSH & PULL BETWEEN MAN & MOTHER NATURE

2010-04-14T18:53:00.002-04:00

I am a psychic/clairvoyant, as you know, and I have clients all over the globe, many of them too far away for face-to-face meetings. So it's fun to travel and see some of the people I work with. That's where I've been and why this blog has been so quiet lately.

My clients come from many different backgrounds and they provide me with a wide variety of perspectives and experiences, which helps me keep my finger on the pulse of what's happening in the world, the inner as well as the outer one. When I start to hear the same thing from client after client, it really gets my attention.

My recent travels confirmed that things are pretty horrendous for those who have not completed tasks, situations, responsibilities and for those who are not taking care of the business of their lives. This is true on a personal level as well as global. The atmosphere during this trip was often thick with desperation and feelings of powerlessness. It was so strong that I felt I had to take some long, slow breaths, get quiet, and think about where this might apply in my own life. So that's another reason I've been away from the blog for a while.

I've always been fascinated by books that have those transparency overlays, the ones where you can peel off layer after layer of changes and see a street or building or city transform over a hundred or even a thousand years. Each transparency adds or takes away details and they all line up in what seems like an orderly way. Of course, real life isn't neat and tidy and the changes we experience over a lifetime or sometimes just an hour can be very bumpy.

We are feeling an overlay now and that's what is causing a lot of the discomfort.
The difference between the layers is that one represents the old way of life and the other one represents what is yet to come. It's all in the process of forming but we aren't quite there yet.

It's clear that nothing will align with the old way of life because it is pretty much done and finished so if you have something to complete, to bring to a close, keep that in mind and get it done! Watch for feelings in June/July when a new anchoring occurs on the planet. That brings about a push-pull-push feeling as the old and new continue to bump heads. At the same time, we are vibrating on a higher frequency, so one day feels up and the next feels down. If you feel as though you are spinning, you sure the heck are!!

There are a couple of things you can do to help yourself work through this. Tell yourself the truth, exactly how you feel about who you are and what is going on in your life, and act on that truth. As you practice being straight with yourself, you will notice that miracles can unfold in the communications with those around you. Another way is to collect yourself (deep breathing and pulling into your center) and go inward. It is from here that you remodel yourself and begin to write a new story or create something toward that new transparency layer.

We continue to be in a truly pivotal time, tapping in and vibrating in higher and higher frequencies. A new story, a new dimensional experience, is in the works. I think the next two full moons will be extremely powerful and they will push us (ready or not) to another level of accepting that things will never be the same as they were.

As all these shake ups have been going on, I have also noticed a lot of increased activity in the ghostly arena. I've seen my share of "caspers" and I'm hearing that, all of a sudden, many other people are seeing them too. As earth is shifting, these non-physical energies are becoming more and more visible. Or..maybe we are becoming more sensitive to the subtle energies around us. I'll get back to this subject and explore it a little more in another blog.
Until then...........................

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY

2010-02-25T15:17:00.002-05:00

Hi all...Today is my Birthday and I feel blessed. My gift to myself is seeing that finally, finally the awakening on the planet is taking hold. And I am happy to see that so many of my readers have broken through the illusions to seeing truth!

We all are here now to help each other and to love each other, the mighty force that shall continue to break the chains that bind us. While our civil rights may be violated and our pockets may be empty, the resulting pressures have forced some of the breakthroughs. This will be revealed as a blessing in disguise as critical mass is being reached opening our eyes to the enslavement once and for all, to the true beauty and bounty of who we really are. I have written about trying to rid fear from ourselves in order to live in a new way in the coming years as history is made and changed. All disguises will breakdown and uncover the truth of our enslavement.

On a happy note, Venus (the planet of love) is hovering close by, helping "soul mates" find each other. These connections will make us strong and joyous, and encourage us to live in a new creative way.

To be alive now in physical is to experience the feelings within of creating new pathways, as a kind of ART OF EXISTENCE. It is the ability to cross and re-cross the flux of time by both when the boat springs a leak and sinks before going the distance. Our existence depends upon our stabilizing the various aspects of ourselves. Once we balance the physical, psychological, spiritual, and the religious aspects inside us, our lives fall into a peaceful pattern. What constitutes your fulfillment??? Think on it the coming year...

And so, be your own spiritual practitioner, be your own medium, and let the magic prevail!

THE WHEEL

2010-02-10T19:50:00.005-05:00

There are twenty- two Major Arcana in the tarot deck. Each of the Major Arcana, starting with the Fool and The World, tells us about the different stages of a journey. On a personal level, they tell us about your journey through a relationship or a job, etc. and in a broader sense they tell us about the journey of life itself.

The thirteenth card in the Major Arcana--The Wheel of Fortune--is fascinating and full of symbolism because it points to a time when fate steps in and takes your hand when the Wheel of Fortune shows up in a reading. I Know when my client has reached a pivotal point in a situation or in life in general. For good or for bad, the Wheel turns sometimes in ways that seem mysterious, and steers you one way or the other. New options become available and new steps are needed to move you forward or backward or maybe even to turn you inside out.

Currently, The Wheel of Fortune is very present in your life, influencing you on a grand scale and down to the smaller details of day-to-day existence. There is an enormous influx of energy that is disrupting the patterns you are accustomed to, collapsing some things that need to go, revealing truths, waking you up and breaking you down.

Because I deal with a lot of clients all over the world, I can see this pattern at work, along with the challenges it presents. "Survival Mode" is where most of you are right now, with all the earth stuff that has been going on. The way it manifests--whether it's financial or in relationships, etc.--may be looked at in an individual life, or locally, nationally, globally and even on a cosmic scale. In a way, it's all the same.

Many point to 2012 as the destination. I don't feel that way at all. To me, 2012 is a tipping point or maybe you could say it's the pivotal point that exists in the Wheel of Fortune. The enormous influences we have been feeling in recent years and the changes they have brought about..there is no turning back. You can see the old life only in the rearview mirror because it isn't out front of you anymore. That has been replaced by a new pattern, new potential, new options. The Wheel sure has been turning as time has been speeding up. Haven't you had the feelings that you have been hit with so much and life is on an express lane? Some of you have a glimpse of this and for others it is still to come. This shall be an ongoing process, not a single moment that is frozen in time, and each of you moves through it at a different rate.

Between March and into summer, it will be difficult for some of you to sort out what's real and what's ideal. You may feel like escaping into a different reality because of too much mental activity and abstract thoughts going on in your head. Do your best not to get angry and undisciplined behavior. Relationships of all kinds will feel either very good or very bad and it will seem as though the "middle ground" doesn't exist anymore. Don't worry if this doesn't make sense right now...Just remember it when the feelings begin to rise to the surface. You guys have been pretty complacent going about your old ways of operating. As life becomes more challenging, you sit and pray for deliverance or maybe it's Santa Claus or the tooth fairy you're hoping for. Faith and trust are definitely called for but not in the things outside of yourself. In this case, The Wheel turns you inward and it is only from here that the new pattern and potential can be realized.

*Some biblical thought, attributed to Ezekiel:

"The wheels of activity are not meant to spin outside of My presence. My presence abides within the wheels of activity. It is only when My spirit lifts and you remain in your activity that the wheels spin out of control and produce nothing. I am the cog that is to spin your wheels. I am the wheel within the wheel. My spirit lifts, the wheels must lift with Me. Even your doings must be in My presence, and not just your times of waiting on Me."

(Thank you Barbara Bowen for finding this for me)

AGING???

2010-02-08T16:10:00.002-05:00

Recently, I spent some time cleaning out closets, old papers, and just generally getting myself reorganized. I guess it's one way of continuing to make way for new things in this exciting new year. Also, I did some visiting with old friends, reconnecting and catching up on what's happening out there.

After a big party I attended last week, which was well attended by some of those "oldies but goodies" friends, I came home depressed after hearing too many stories about their neck, leg and back pains, arthritis issues and all kinds of other issues.It bothered me that they seemed to have aged so much and that they were more focused on what's wrong with life than on living life to the fullest.

Once home, I went back to clearing out the papers and I came across something my mother had given me some years before she died. Mimi was what people used to call "a live wire", full of life and always ready for a good laugh, she packed her days with as much fun as she could, right to the end of her life!

We had talked several times about how she felt about aging and all that meant for her quality of life. During one conversation she pulled out a piece of paper that had been passed around her circle of friends, and she urged me to read it because she felt it captured the essence of how she felt.

That's the paper I just came across and in reading it again, I was struck by how amazing my mother was (and is), and how she is still giving me good advice. I don't know who wrote this piece but I wanted to pass it along to MY circle of friends, in the hope that the message will strike a chord with you too, no matter what your age is.

"I AM NOW...PROBABLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, THE PERSON I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE..OH, NOT MY BODY! I SOMETIMES DESPAIR OVER MY BODY...THE WRINKLES, THE BAGGY EYES, AND THE SAGGING BUTT. OFTEN I AM TAKEN ABACK BY THE OLD PERSON WHO LIVES IN MY MIRROR, BUT I DON'T AGONIZE OVER THOSE THINGS FOR LONG.
I WOULD NEVER TRADE MY AMAZING FRIENDS, MY WONDERFUL LIFE, AND MY LOVING FAMILY FOR LESS GRAY HAIR OR A FLATTER BELLY. AS I HAVE AGED, I'VE BECOME KINDER TO MYSELF, AND LESS CRITICAL OF MYSELF. I'VE BECOME MY OWN FRIEND. I DON'T CHIDE MYSELF FOR EATING THAT EXTRA COOKIE, OR FOR NOT MAKING MY BED, OR FOR BUYING SOMETHING SILLY THAT I DIDN'T NEED. I AM ENTITLED TO OVEREAT, TO BE MESSY OR EXTRAVAGANT. I HAVE SEEN MANY DEAR FRIENDS LEAVE THIS WORLD TOO SOON: BEFORE THEY UNDERSTOOD THE GREAT FREEDOM THAT COMES WITH AGING.
WHOSE BUSINESS IS IT IF I CHOOSE TO READ OR PLAY ON THE COMPUTER UNTIL 4AM, AND SLEEP TILL NOON? I WILL DANCE WITH MYSELF TO THOSE WONDERFUL TUNES OF THE 50'S AND 60'S AND IF I, AT THE SAME TIME WISH TO WEEP OVER A LOST LOVE...I WILL.
I WILL WALK ON THE BEACH IN A SWIM SUIT THAT IS STRETCHED OVER A BULGING BODY, AND WILL DIVE IN THE WAVE WITH ABANDON IF I CHOOSE TO, DESPITE THE PITYING GLANCES FROM THE BIKINI SET. THEY TOO WILL GET OLD.
I KNOW I AM SOMETIMES FORGETFUL. BUT, THERE AGAIN, SOME OF LIFE IS JUST AS WELL FORGOTTEN...AND I EVENTUALLY REMEMBER THE IMPORTANT THINGS. SURE, OVER THE YEARS MY HEART HAS BEEN BROKEN. HOW CAN A HEART NOT BREAK WHEN YOU LOSE A LOVED ONE, OR WHEN A CHILD SUFFERS, OR WHEN A CAR HITS YOUR BELOVED PET? BUT, BROKEN HEARTS ARE WHAT GIVES US STRENGTH AND UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION. A HEART NEVER BROKEN IS PRISTINE AND STERILE AND WILL NEVER KNOW THE JOY OF BEING IMPERFECT.
I AM SO BLESSED TO LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE MY HAIR TURN ALL DIFFERENT SHADES, EVEN GRAY, AND TO HAVE NY YOUTHFUL LAUGHS BE FOREVER ETCHED INTO DEEP GROOVES ON MY FACE. SO MANY HAVE NEVER LAUGHED, AND SO MANY HAVE DIED BEFORE THEIR HAIR COULD TURN SILVER. I CAN SAY "NO" AND MEAN IT. I CAN SAY "YES" AND MEAN IT. AS YOU GET OLDER, IT IS EASIER TO BE POSITIVE. YOU CARE LESS WHATEVER PEOPLE THINK. I DON'T QUESTION MYSELF ANYMORE. I HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG.
SOOO...TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I LIKE GETTING OLD. IT HAS SET ME FREE. I LIKE THE PERSON I HAVE BECOME...I AM NOT GOING TO LIVE FOREVER, BUT WHILE I AM STILL HERE, I WILL NOT WASTE TIME LAMENTING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, OR WORRYING ABOUT WHAT WILL BE. AND I SHALL EAT DESSERT EVERY SINGLE DAY...."

TODAY, I WISH YOU A DAY OF ORDINARY MIRACLES*

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart...

SOUL MATES

2010-01-19T16:37:00.003-05:00

I have often thought about what the term "soul mates" really means. You hear it a lot from those who are seeking love, when they talk about the perfect match to
complete fulfillment in life. You can almost hear the harps playing and the angels
singing in the background. The term is used so freely to describe the latest love that I sometimes ask myself if people are really serious. It's all about the soul mate and forever love, until it isn't, and then it's on to the next and the next.

A soul mate, for me, is a piece of your own soul, one that finds a fuller expression of self in that union. Your soul mate can provide a more comfortable vision, like the missing act in a three-part play. Romance and sex aren't necessarily part of the connection, although when they are, the result can be a major expression of creative feelings, the kind that can make your toes curl! Whether or not romantic lust is present, soul mates ignite the balance of male/female energies toward new experiences, growth and healing.

As this 26,000 year earth cycle comes to a close, I have noticed in my work, that more and more soul mates are coming together, perhaps from a Karmic push--from past lives, parallel or even future lifetimes--to meet and do the work together. You may
find this in the people at home, on the job, just about anywhere. The relationships can take on many different forms.

We all evolve from the same source of creation, soooo, in a matter of speaking, you could say that we are all soul mates. Like the shifting pieces of some grand cosmic puzzle we move in and out of each others experiences. In some cases there is a
significant relationship and a deep affinity and in others the connection is more casual or transient, but no less important. This is a time when we are all coming together to balance each other, to lovingly work it through, towards completion of the tremendous cycle that is coming to a close.

When you think of it only in romantic terms, you tend to define a soul mate as the
ONE AND ONLY. Actually, that is a TWIN FLAME CONNECTION, Known by some as your
OTHER HALF, and representing a relationship in which you reunite in a way that is similar to your first incarnation together.

Many of you have already connected to your soul group for the purpose of doing spiritual work. Whether there are only two of you, fifty or one hundred, each soul is a necessary component, representing many souls coming together in a soul group.
My feeling again is that many of you who haven't experienced this, will do so by 2015, and many will experience their TWIN fLAME by then too. Some of you are still
clearing out the old stuff and that has to happen before taking the next steps.
In the meantime, be more aware of those who are around you, what they have to teach you and/or learn from you. Be more conscious of the interconnection between all life and all souls.
I now rest my case for those who asked!
Be at peace..............

2010....

2009-12-31T18:40:00.002-05:00

I like to spend a little time reflecting on the year that has come to a close, before consciously letting go of it and turning toward the new. You will probably do the same.

2009 was a year in which nothing seemed to fit together the way it used to. I doubt you need to be reminded that illnesses, deaths, loss of work and relationships were happening everywhere. I'm sure you experienced one or more in your own life. A lot has been happening on a mass scale, perhaps leading to a critical mass shift on this planet.

Much of the turbulence is caused by the passing influence of the Piscean Age, with its emphasis on authority and unquestioning belief, and the coming into the Aquarian Age, which demands direct knowledge and encourages "do it yourself" tendencies. I have stressed time and time again and in as many ways as I can think of, that your focus is shifting away from outside authority, belief systems and validation, to the inner directed authority of the soul or higher self. You can all feel it, but also the bouncing back and forth between outer directed and inner directed, almost as though you are living in two worlds. The ego part of us wants to revert to the old pattern of running the show but the soul is taking charge, sometimes gently and sometimes with what feels like force. The amount of force is equal to the amount of your resistance.

Enormous changes are taking place and no path is easy. Control, discipline, non judgment are essential. Maybe this will lead to a greater understanding of the true brotherhood of men (and women) or maybe you will feel increased separation. If you cannot connect, you will disconnect.

You are still in the process of rediscovering how vast and powerful you are. You have an advantage if you can truly trust your inner guildence system, and that includes being conscious of how your body feels....and what it is telling you.
There shall be more and more knowledge to come..........

Even with all the challenges this year presented, I can still let it go and feel the joy of turning the calendar to 2010. While things may still seem up in the air, heavy and difficult, there is no question that we all are living in a time of incredible, far reaching change. The BIG CHANGE or only real change is the one that is happening inside of you. Everything else is merely a reflection of that.

So, from my soul, my divine spark, to yours, I say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HOW TO GET THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR DESIRES*

With hopes you can do this exercise often. Now sit back and visualize your entire chest area enveloped in a pink aura.

1...Take in a breath to the count of six while you hold this visualization.

2...Hold your breath in for a count of twelve and as you do so raise the pink cloud to a point about three inches above the top of your head.

3...Release your breath slowly to the count of eight and at the same time expand the pink cloud so that it includes your head and the upper part of your body.

4...When your breath is expelled and your lungs are empty, hold your breath out to the count of twelve and at the same time keep in your mind's eye the visualization of the shining pink cloud surrounding your head and upper body.

5...Now, center your consciousness in your throat and visualize a bright blue aura enveloping your throat and shoulders.

6...Take a breath to the count of six and hold the visualization of the blue aura.

7...Hold your breath in for a count of twelve and as you do raise the blue aura to a point about three inches above the top of your head.

8...Release your breath slowly to a count of eight and and the same time expand the blue cloud so that it includes your head and the upper part of your body.

9...When your breath is expelled and your lungs are empty, hold your breath out for the count of twelve and at the same time maintain the visualization of the bright blue aura enveloping your head and upper body.

10..Now, center your consciousness in your pituitary gland. This is in the skull right above the bridge of your nose and between the eyebrows about one-half inch back of the forehead. As you do, visualize a brilliant white light around your head and count six while you breathe in.

11..Hold your breath for a count of twelve and raise the white aura to a point about three inches above the top of your head.

12..Release your breath to the count of eight and as you do so feel the pituitary center join in with the center above your head so that they become as one while the light created by this fusion lights up the whole room.

13..When your breath is expelled hold your lungs empty for the count of twelve and see that brilliant sun-like aura expand so that it includes your head and the entire upper part of your body above the waist.

14..RELAX AND SIT IN QUIET MEDITATION FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES. DURING THIS PERIOD. PETITION FOR WHAT YOU NEED. IF IT IS A WORTHY PETITION, IT WILL BE GRANTED.
BEFORE YOU RISE SAY TO YOURSELF "LET GOOD BEFALL THE WORLD"
For those who plant the seeds, the rewards are great!! Joseph Weed

A HAPPY & HEALTHY HOLIDAY TO ALL

2009-12-21T20:13:00.001-05:00

2010

JOY TO THE WORLD

2009-12-11T13:16:00.002-05:00

This is the season of giving gifts to your loved ones and friends. It's a season of sparkling lights, warm gatherings and celebrating tradition all over the world. It's also the season of over eating, over drinking and over spending. This year is the same as others in that respect, although the over spending part of things continues to intensify. The balance is more and more out of whack. Do you feel that?

I know you can still remember a time when you were carefree and less encumbered by this kind of pressure but that was then and this is now. The world around you has changed; have you changed and found some balance or are you still just reacting by shaking your fist at the sky? Do you feel things pressing in on you, forcing you to change? How you feel can provide you with important information about where you are in the process of balancing the shifts going on around and within you. If it hurts, makes you feel sad, overwhelmed, angry, you have to ask yourself if you are still operating under an old belief system that is no longer in alignment with the changes and cosmos.
Your resistance is where those uncomfortable feelings come from.

I am using the holidays as a metaphor for something bigger and broader and I hope you can see that it ties into a lot of what I have been writing here all year.
The metaphor could apply to politics, religion, personal freedom, civil rights, racism, global warming, media schmedia fear mongers, so-called love and light workers, you name it.

You have come down a long and sometimes agonizing road to a point where you have to connect the dots and see things as they are. The bill has come due and it's past the time to pop the bubble of illusion in which you have been living. If you insist on continuing to exist in the old world with an old worn out belief system, the pressure will increase. The greater the resistance to change, the more force you will feel pressing against you. What does it take to get the message?
As we approach the New Year, you should feel blessed that you are breathing and still here in the incredible earth school, mastering the art of being a boundless spirit having a human experience in physical space-time.

Getting back to my Holiday metaphor, if you are not feeling the joy to the world thing, please take a closer look at the belief operating system you are using. Free yourself from the old patterns and find the joy inside of you. Let the hallelujah spring from within you.

Postscript: You can make New Years resolutions based on the old things you have wanted in the past.....that which is NOW. Finishing the known is where you are now and currently exploring new possibilities perhaps you never thought of before....
There is no greater gift!!

JUST A FEW THOUGHTS

2009-11-28T11:50:00.002-05:00

There is little point in trying to guess how humanity's evolution is going to work out because we are creating it as we go. But, what we can (and must) do is set a general plan on how we see our future's working out. INTENT is a great word for setting the future in motion.
We have all been in denial of our emotions for so long we have forgotten how to feel and as far as, I feel, it must be felt now. The current energies and times have been so intense that none of us are used to it nor...the feelings we harbor within of the fears that linger.
Those that don't want to feel are leaving the planet, or virtually on drugs of all sorts.
We are past the word change and as Ghandi has said, "strength does not come from physical capacity, it comes from an indomitable will".
We need to practice openness, patience, kindness and tolerance. WE individually CREATE THE CONDITIONS!!!! We are not all alike but we can be creative with what we have. These times it is to empower ourselves as EGO is a sense of self and involves our balancing within.
We should know that our present day conditions are tied to our past situations that can stop us from making the leap to the changes we want to move forward.
Human ignorance now has us doing mindless things. Don't worry about knowing the answers, accountability for doing the right thing for others as well as ourselves should be set in motion now. THINK,,,,JUST THINK!

IN THIS TIME OF GIVING THANKS

2009-11-20T23:19:00.002-05:00

When we are grieving, we're apt to feel in some ways alone, cut off from other people and living things.

It is salutary to go outside and stand by a tree. To stand in the presence of a great tree is to feel a kind of solidarity with nature, a continuity between oneself and the whole created world.

Now move closer, and put the palms of your hands against the bark of the tree.
Feel the bark with your fingers. Think of the tree's age-how long it has been here, through the summer and winter; how it draws energy up from the earth and down from the sunshine and rain.

Then stand closer yet, lean against the tree, put your arms against it (hoping the neighbors aren't looking but who cares?.) Feel your own continuity with all created life, including this tree you now embrace in honor and in memory of those you have lost.
You may be laughing, or crying or feeling foolish-or some of each.
But....don't you feel better?

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

2009-11-12T11:22:00.002-05:00

I am always looking for new ways to help my clients work through what is going on in their life. Often, it is helpful to give a person information from a couple of different perspectives or by formatting it in a variety of ways. The idea is that if one approach doesn't quite register, then another one will. That's how The Five Principles of Life came about. I developed it and use it to bring clarity to an area of life that needs attention or when I know there is a particular situation a person wants to work on.
This can be a terrific self-help tool for getting your energies centered and balanced and clearly focused. It can help you zero in on a situation and really work on it with the intensity of a laser beam.
You will need to cut out five cardboard cards, the size of playing cards. You will number each card and label as follows:

#1................SELF HEALING
#2................FAMILY
#3................PERSONAL FINANCES
#4................RELATIONSHIPS
#5................MANIFESTATION

When you have the cards ready, take the first one, #1 SELF HEALING, and hold it in your hand. Breathe deeply a few times and then close your eyes and let the words SELF HEALING sink into your entire being. You may get a feeling or a thought or a glimpse of something. If nothing happens, that's fine. Just let yourself feel the stillness.
Open your eyes and look at the card again. Talk to yourself out loud or silently, whatever is most comfortable. Tell yourself how great you feel, how positive your energy is, how everything within you is clear, clean and in perfect working order. Ask yourself what you need today for self healing and see what comes back to you. Your physical body may register something or a thought may come to you about something you need to do to promote self healing.

Move on to card #2 FAMILY. This one isn't about you but all the people you consider to be family. Again, hold it in your hand and breathe. Close your eyes and let the word sink into your entire being. Open your eyes and say the word "family". See what thoughts come to you. You can use those thoughts as a prayer if you like. Perhaps you want to send out forgiveness or a feeling of togetherness or if something needs mending, you can work on that. No one can hear you talk to FAMILY out loud or silently.

I love #3 PERSONAL FINANCES because when I do the exercise I visualize and talk to my check book and see the balance increasing and increasing. I talk to the card and say, "Money is just another form of energy and I have LOTS of that!" If I see a dollar figure, I multiply it 10X10X10X10X and so forth.

#4 RELATIONSHIPS can sometimes be a challenge. If you are seeking to bring in someone new, be clear about what you want. If it's time to let someone go, let it be for the highest good of all concerned. Because any relationship includes you, make sure you talk about it being compatible in any situation in order to lift your vibration a couple of notches to make it a win-win for everyone.

#5 MANIFESTATION is a BIG one!! Here, you are focusing on the outcome or destination, not the process of getting there. Get out of your own way and pretend that the details will take care of themselves. Talk about the end-point as you are already there. Describe what is around you, what you feel or see. Manifestation can be used once in a while when you feel drawn to it...........
ADIOS*

DOO WOP, DE WADDA WADDA, DOO WAH!

2009-10-23T15:13:00.004-04:00

Once upon a time, long, long ago, when egg cream was the beverage of the day, a dollar equaled one hundred pennies and the term "your mama" was actually an expression of endearment to the woman who gave you life, there was a small but enchanting land located on the planet earth called Brooklyn, New York. In this loving community, people built a life for themselves. The men worked near home, the women bore children, and the family ate dinner together at the same time, at one table, where they shared their fears and joys, their sadness and their laughter.

I grew up in Brooklyn and while I probably seemed reasonably average on the
outside, deep inside I knew that nothing could be farther from the truth. Neighborhood kids played games of make-believe in which they were a prince or princess but that was never grand enough for me. I had to be Queen Isabella of Spain, reigning over my vast kingdom and maybe sending Christopher Columbus off to discover the new world.
While my girlfriends dreamed of the man they would marry, I was becoming familiar with amazing visions of the spirit world. I sang doo wop on the street corners, wore pearls and cashmere, and necked with Steven Dorfman in the back of my '57 Chevy. At the same time, I heard the humming of angels in my ears, had conversations in my head with my "unseen friends" and more than a glimpse of space ships in the skies from my bedroom window at night. The contrast between the inner and outer, at times, could be intense.

Steve Dorfman's lips are long gone and, sadly, so is the '57 Chevy I loved so much, although eventually I traded it in for a Red Caddy convertible. The Angels stayed around and so did conversations with my unseen friends. Life moved on and today I am a professional clairvoyant and author who makes a living dishing out "insights" as food for the soul.I help people make choices for themselves to either sink or swim, to give in, give up, go forward, get out or get on with it. I suppose I still seem pretty normal from the outside. Well....at least until until you get to know me!!

And yet, I feel very much in touch with that younger mini-me, the one who sang doo wop in Brooklyn. Reading that last statement, I can feel the vital energy of that timeless soul. I can sense the ever curious mind. I can hear the sound of laughter around our dinner table. It's all there and very much alive. Life may have moved on but I am still tapping my foot and snapping my fingers to the beat of the music.

When someone says that you act or look so much younger than your age, it means that they have a preconceived notion of what a person of a certain age should look act and be. That means, on a larger scale, that the collective consciousness of the planet expects a specific condition in terms of health, for example, relative to an age group. You know as well as I do that age has nothing to do with your energy level but this kind of belief system "pigeonholes" a person into a statistic.
It keeps you inside a box and, unfortunately, there will always be plenty of studies and statistics to back up the idea. I know too many "young" people who are sickly, lethargic and bored as well as boring. I know even more "old" people who are vibrant and full of energy, and I suspect that there's a toe tapping bit of doo wop alive and well inside of each one of them!

Abraham (the group teacher, channeled by Esther Hicks) speaks on the subject, saying we are source energy (source meaning God) and that we do not age, we're not supposed to age. It is the belief system that causes the deterioration.

My friend tells me that she refuses to buy into statistics or the belief system of aging. She has taught her children well in that regard and each year when they celebrate her birthday, they take a year off her age. I think she is down to about 32 years now. What a fabulous idea. My friend also says. "I want to continue being happy and healthy until death, whenever that may be." She echoes Abraham's words,
"I want to be happy, happy.....dead!!"

And mine....ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!

ARE WE WALKING IN A DREAM?

2009-10-18T18:00:00.002-04:00

I sense it and I'm sure you do too. It's as though everyone is operating on autopilot, moving from place to place and task to task, without being fully present. There is a dream-like quality to everything. Experiencing life and seeing things through that slightly unfocused lens can make you feel a bit lost. It really does feel disconnected and very much like a dream.

Believe it or not, even in this fog, you have continued to clear out old stuff. As more and more falls away and old habits and patterns go with it, you may be left feeling empty. I've said it before and expect I will again, it can be difficult to get your bearings or to stay grounded under these circumstances. There is a lot to handle and sometimes emotions run rampant with fears about what's next.

You are living in an exciting time of energetic and spiritual change and shifts, although what many feel is that life is unpredictable and chaotic and, in general, just falling apart. You can only move forward with trust, knowing that you are exactly where you need to be and doing exactly what you need to do. Sorry if that seems like bumper sticker philosophy. It doesn't matter because I know I am right!

While making predictions can be tricky business these days, I feel confident in saying that many of you will begin to feel more vibrant as you move into 2010. Certainly, with a better understanding of what's important and what's real for you. I think you will be using your mind more to manifest new things into the emptiness you are feeling now.

You have been living in a dream for a long time, some say as long as 26,000 years. That's a lot of "stuff" to unload, and the clean-out doesn't happen overnight. But I am certain that in trusting yourself, you will continue to find out how powerful you really are. You have incredible intuitive potential, an almost magical innate ability to manifest and an expanding vibration of magnetism that can bring you to the right people and situations for your well being and continued growth.

When you allow yourself to live in a state of fear about what's to come, you keep yourself in a kind of dream state of illusion. When you allow yourself to take a leap into the unknown, trusting that you will land in the right place, an entirely different scenario has the potential to greet you. Make the choice and commit to it.

Thanks B.B.

THE RULES OF BEING HUMAN

2009-10-06T18:03:00.003-04:00

OK people in blog land, I love that so many of you have read my blog and let me know how much you enjoy it. But, I'm surprised by how few of you have asked questions regarding the state of affairs on this planet. I know it hasn't escaped your notice that we are all, collectively, affected by the chaos and changes around us.

I am not referring to your personal problems because I deal with those in my private sessions with you. What about your thoughts, your feelings about what's going on energetically, right here, right now, where you live on earth? What about the bigger picture of where the family of man (and woman) is headed? I suppose you have figured out that I am rarely interested in writing about political issues. My focus here has always been to teach and to share what I know from experience. I would love to hear from you about what's on your mind and what concerns you. Throw out a question with a universal or global energy slant and I will do my best to answer it.

THE TEN RULES OF BEING HUMAN ARE:

1. You will receive a body. You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your life on earth.
2. You will be presented with lessons.You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "life". You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation, a series or trials, errors, and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work.
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. Lessons will be repeated in various forms until you have learned them. When you have, you go onto the next lesson.
5. Learning does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. 'There' is a no better than 'here'. When your'e 'there' has become a 'here' you will simply obtain a 'there' that will look better to you than your present 'here'.
7. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you.
9. All your answers lie inside of you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this at birth. You can remember it if you want by unraveling the double helix of inner knowing.

STILL STUCK??

2009-09-28T11:28:00.006-04:00

Whew, wasn't this a rough month? Mercury was retrograde for most of September and communications sure felt blocked, frustrating and, in plain English stucko!.. Stick with it, guys and dolls. November seems more promising for starting your engines again. Bits and pieces of new energies are still coming through. If you've been doing the work of releasing and letting go, there shouldn't be too much of the old "stuff" left to cling to and you are probably feeling a little lighter. (or just plain blotto).
For those of you who haven't cleared away the old and tattered, there may be feelings of depression and despair. You have better get at it.

If you could do it all over again, what would you want your life to be? I asked several people who answered that they would like .."To be younger and know what I know today". What an intriguing idea. I walked around thinking about that for awhile and came up with another question: Instead of applying it to the past, how about applying it to what's ahead?

Replaying those old tapes of the past is like watching the same movie over and over again.
You know the plot and the starring role so well. You are the victim and people or circumstances have done you wrong, you are angry and seeking revenge; you are stomped on and get no respect; you work your butt off for years and can't get ahead; you give everything you've got and still can't find love. It's all so depressing and BORING!
Catching on?

YOU ARE THE SUM TOTAL OF YOUR THOUGHTS. YOU, YOUR LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS THE SUM TOTAL OF YOUR THOUGHTS. The magnificent computer system that sits between your ears can be defragged, reprogrammed and rebooted so that the sum total of your thoughts adds up to something new.

Make a list of all the things you want to do. Include whatever brings you peace, contentment and pleasure. Attend a retreat, meditation or yoga class or just seek out places of solitude. Close your eyes and listen to the silence, as a way to get in touch with your true feelings. Pay attention to your intuition because it will help you find your direction. Shut off the TV, internet and all the other media assault weapons and take a walk.... Continue to let go and let go and let go, always with love, forgiveness and gratitude. Find new ways to balance yourself and your life. The
secret of life cannot be found in money or possessions but in love for yourself and all living things.

To quote Esther Hicks and Abraham: "You can stand here sick with ten illnesses today, and tomorrow have no evidence of any of them. Your body has the ability to replenish itself that fast. But, most of you do not have the ability to change your thoughts that fast.
So, the amount of time that it takes between illness and wellness is only the amount of time that it takes for me to figure how to let in....for me to figure out how to feel good, when I'm looking at something that makes me feel bad".

TO GET SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID!

I AM NO STRANGER TO DEATH

2009-09-13T15:39:00.004-04:00

Physical death is something everyone must eventually face. If someone you love has died, it makes sense that you would think about what happens after death.

My first jolt of that reality came to me in the 70's when my brother Stuart died, followed by the death of my cousin Jeff. Both were in their early 20's, young, fit and strong. Their deaths hit me hard. Emotional pain is one sure way to force a change in perspective and mine was spun around 180 degrees. I desperately needed to know if death was simply the end or simply a continuation of life on another plane of existence and in some other form. The need to know was a powerful motivator for me. Looking back, I wonder if the intense curiosity I felt was a way for my spirit guides or helpers to kick me in the butt and tell me to get serious about the spiritual part of my life.

It wasn't long before I got the proof I was seeking. I learned they were not far away at all. I saw them and received messages~ my three daughters had glimpses too~ and I knew that Stu and Jeff were just fine. Even today, whenever I need them, our thoughts meet and I am reminded that there really is no separation at all.

I believe it is more difficult for those who are left behind than for those who have died. There can be grief and sorrow, anger or guilt that lingers for years. Death often makes you think about your own physical existence, your own mortality, and that can bring up some frightening associations. Who will be next, Is it me? Anything that may extend your life, anything that keeps the wolf at the door, is sought after. I think there is a better way.

We should all ask questions about life or death or anything else, and turn inward for answers. Stop watching the clock and measuring success or failure according to some social, political or religious yard stick. Rely less on your five physical senses and more on the guidance from your own soul. It is a lot more reliable. Most important is the knowledge that it isn't the length of time you are here that matters, as much as the quality of the experience. That means living up to your potential, fulfilling your purpose and having a reverence for all life.

Life is a gift. Treat it as something sacred.

*I am dedicating this to my friend Karen Ettinger,
whose recent passing gave me a chance to remember.
She is with the stars and on the wind, and I know she is doing just fine!

BARBWIRE NEWS BULLETS FOR LAST QUARTER OF 2009

2009-09-03T18:28:00.012-04:00

The secret of change is to focus ALL your energy, not on fighting the old. but on building the new.
Socrates*

. Yes, we are re-focusing on all our agenda's and getting ready to make new choices.

. You are tired of being tired and angry and with acceptance and forgiveness you begin to feel personal healing taking place as you evaluate your choices and losses to challenge your status quo and insecurities.

. You shall formulate your survival tactics with all your attachments, evaluate your losses and release the fear inside of you. Perhaps, if you feel empty, getting through the year will make you feel alive again. Releasing negative expectations will open you to new relationships.

. Breakups: Marriage, divorces, partnerships will finalize as you decide what works best for you.

. As part of the masses, you begin to understand how we have been controlled as a species.
We have come to the point of evolution that the control of capitalism has cleverly expanded the system of horrors.

. We have come to the edge of movement as we are no longer in a time of preparation, we are in
the front row seat seeing how the old system rally worked. As we emerge, the veil lifts.

. The veil lifts offering you greater clarity.
There is no escape in getting to the new unprecedented ways. Transformation comes through
when you are empty and all old illusions are gone.
Then, Collective consciousness will begin to work. Hopefully, the masses won't take to the streets!

. 12 star systems make up our original origin. We have all come to earth as one unified
experience. (meaning, we have all come from somewhere)

. As the unrest escalates, people will decide where the most positive use of their energy will be.

. Pollution on the planet will begin to improve little by little.

. The dream state shall become extremely active.

. New babies are being born, more fully aware, and they will further assist in helping the new world to come.

. You will take all the responsibility for your own health and needs. Why don't you sprinkle a little lavender oil on a hankie to breathe in while traveling in airports. It can make germs impossible to penetrate in your system.

. It's okay to be on neutral now, if you feel you have done the work, but in this awakening
process, time will begin to accelerate rapidly as we awaken from the "dead" and experience a feeling of new life.
.......... Just ask the DIVINE MIND to work for your highest good.

For now, tidbits on Barb's Wire...

PREPARE

2009-08-31T18:26:00.003-04:00

The following may sound like an excerpt from "the diary of a mad psychic" and I don't mean angry.
The world is not about you...it's about us!!!!

I believe we should be preparing for things unknown. The only way to do that is to be open for change.

A new vibration of energy, known as the photon belt, began to enter our solar system some time ago. It's energy vibrates faster and radiates more light than anyone can possibly imagine. We are moving toward a major evolutionary event, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the time of Atlantis. I believe that one of the results of the accelerated vibration will be the collapse of the electromagnetic field, bringing about a complete restructuring of earth and everything on it.
Our physical bodies will shift into a more radiant state and the veil of consciousness around us will lift. This will release the psychic potential in all of us. The twelve stands that make up the DNA we were designed to have, will awaken. It means, in a nutshell, the ascension process we have been hearing so much about, in which the earth becomes more energy than matter. I also believe, this energy shift will take us into 2012 as we move into a fifth dimensional reality which is one beyond space/time. height, width and depth.

As I have said at the beginning, we are preparing for things unknown. I keep writing in this blog about getting your life together from the inside out, about dealing with the darker side of your nature and self, about self healing and finding your balance. Avoiding your imbalances, does not help one to heal. If you have experienced change in your life, get ready for more. Things could get intense. So, just connect with your true feelings by holding the awareness of the light, perhaps helping others too, and you shall be prepared.

P.S. Just got this off the internet that someone wrote and it gave me a chuckle.........
"The meaning of life in 13 words"
"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened".

HAVE A GREAT SEPTEMBER!!

THE WAVE

2009-08-23T14:54:00.003-04:00

We are all surfers, riding the waves. They crest, crash and recede and we must find our balance in order to move with them. The balance is: LOVE, WISDOM AND POWER.

Now is the time to be still within the waves of chaos humanity is experiencing. Old habits, old patterns may be difficult to release but holding onto them produces negative emotions that will not aid us in any way. Anyone remaining in the old patterns is currently in a "clusterfog" which breeds depression. Fear, anger and the selfish act of holding on leads one to a state of self victimization. It's so necessary to have the courage to stand your ground and exercise only love, forgiveness and compassion for yourself and others. THIS IS THE GREAT EMERGENCE!

More and more energy is firing up and coming to everyone on the planet...so the waves will continue. Sharpen your intuitive skills and begin to trust them. The knowledge those skills provide will be a powerful tool! Contemplate what "unconditional love" means to you and begin to practice it...even in small ways. Be aware of the ways you may control others and the ways in which others may attempt to control you. IT IS THROUGH MONEY, SEX, MATERIALISM, NOURISHMENT, ATTENTION, AFFECTION.....HEALTHCARE, THE STOCK MARKET....?
Be responsible for yourself and to yourself. Start living and thinking outside the box because there is nothing but enslavement in that box.

The affirmation of the moment: "Everything that is mine comes to me and nothing that is truly mine can be taken from me." Let go of the rest because it's all smoke and mirrors.

"IN THE CENTER OF ALL LIGHT I STAND. NOTHING CAN TOUCH ME HERE."

SELF HEALING

2009-08-14T10:24:00.004-04:00

Sickness is the most common way to discharge fate. Most of us seem to accept our illnesses and treating them is becoming more and more expensive. Especially since we seem to be experiencing more severe and intractable problems today more then ever before. How long will it be before people begin to grasp the fact that while we accept all the answers to our illnesses, we do nothing about it! Such is the matter I have been dealing with more than ever in the last 3 years with my clientele. The emotional body lies deep within the psyche and when one cannot deal with issues of fear and change, we get ill.

We can trace modern medicine back to Hippocrates (400 B.C. who followed the God of healing. Priests then healed the sick through rituals, use of magical gemstones, and by chanting. From their point of view, illness was always connected with guilt. The rituals allowed the patient to repent and change his ways. When Hippocrates turned away from this tradition, he also turned away from the concept of "accepting" illnesses.
Medicine has concerned itself only with the treatment of illness and its symptoms and not the cause. We must begin by isolating the problem and treat where it has affected us in our physical body. By not accepting it, we treat it! I do not encourage anyone to turn away from a physician or use a "do-it-yourself kit". Our medicines do provide necessary help. I believe we can benefit by looking at things not on the level of mere cures of symptoms but the healing of the total person as well. To heal, makes whole, and it takes place on a level that is unknown to medical science. If we can understand the state of our being, we will be in harmony with our problems. Only when we can say yes to it can the problem reverse itself and be terminated. Only if a man is sick can he be made whole. Without having an illness there is no healing is there? Without all these things we would not have a closer understanding to life. To struggle against something means we are not in accord with it or reconciled to it. Perhaps we can trace this back to our unconscious fears. Remember, we all experience symptoms as they signal that something is amiss. We need to work with these symptoms so we can heal.

As our understanding grows more and more sensitive to all our changing conditions, it needs to understand our bodies physical, mental. emotional condition and needs. Often both a medical doctor and a qualified healer and/or holistic practitioner can be beneficial and work in sync with each other. Call it prana, god, life force or good energy as a healer works with an invisible force that some people can feel. The healer is merely the interceptor of these energies and the channel through which they flow. Even psychic energy can be transferred or induced thousands of miles away. Such is the power of thought and energy placement. You can send a flooded area of white light anywhere you wish it to go and with seriousness and intent for goodwill it can appear anywhere you wish it to be. Some healers say that disease is self-generated and self-inflicted due to anger and pent up emotions. Vanquishing inner poisons maybe released by one word____forgiveness!!

I love saying this Unity prayer:
THE LIGHT OF GOD SURROUNDS US.
THE LOVE OF GOD ENFOLDS US
THE POWER OF GOD PROTECTS US
THE PRESENCE OF GOD WATCHES OVER US
WHEREVER WE ARE, GOD IS
SO BE IT AMEN

A QUOTE FROM ABRAHAM -HICKS

2009-08-12T11:08:00.004-04:00

"Nothing seems to be fixed. Everything is unfolding perfectly. So when you stand in your now accepting that all is well, then from that vibration, you become surrounded by more evidence that all is well. But when you're convinced that things are broken, that there is pollution, or that things have gone wrong, or that the government is doing conspiracies....then what happens is you get caught up in that vibration, and you begin to manifest that kind of stuff, and then you say, SEE I TOLD YOU THAT THINGS WERE GOING WRONG"..........

Which goes to prove, if you get into all these negative patterns, your well- being and positive energies fall and you are STUCK with the rest of the cattle thinking...there is nothing more and no place to go. Without change, feelings of depression, are likely, and it becomes difficult to connect with what makes you feel good and what you are wanting life to be for you.After all, it is harder to move forward when you are down.

A friend of mine named Jill just sent me over another quote while I was typing this post which is very apropos..................."Awareness without ACTION is like EnLIGHTenment without the LIGHT".

WE ARE IN FOR A RIDE

2009-08-04T12:55:00.002-04:00

The mantra of the moment among clients and friends is: "Is it going to get better?"

THE LUNAR ECLIPSE on August 5-6 should help things move. We've had three eclipses in a row- a full moon lunar eclipse; a new moon solar eclipse; and now the last in the series, another full moon lunar eclipse. Eclipse points bring us to a crossroad of energy, where the past, present and future intersect. In the case of a full moon lunar eclipse, the primary energy brings about a conclusion, an ending, completion. Often, a person or thing or situation is "eclipsed" out of our life.

Can you let go? Can you allow completion? can you detach from amd release the past?
Let yourself catch this lunar eclipse wave and let it do its job of helping you to clear away that which no longer serves the fulfillment of your highest potential. This is a time to consciously let one door close and another open.

While endings don't always feel good, they are necessary! On the plus side, you have a lot of experience at this. Every New Year's Eve you say goodbye to one year and "Hello Gorgeous" to the next. It is a time of renewal and a celebration of the promise of the future.
Don't expect the shifting of this eclipse to happen exactly at the stroke of midnight. Instead, allow the energy wave to carry you and to work its magic through the fall of 2009 and into the spring of 2010.

Keep your energy high and dream BIG!

THE SUMMER OF DISCONTENT

2009-06-29T19:49:00.003-04:00

Hello again. I haven't posted anything for a while because I have been involved in my own personal voyage of change. I have found that some days are pretty bumpy and perhaps you have had the same experience. Life really feels as though it's speeding up, the stakes seem to get higher every day and there is plenty of drama to go around. I have heard it said that the Chinese character for "crisis" is a combination of the words danger and opportunity, although I think the literal translation is closer to "precarious moment". That would certainly describe where many of us feel we are, sort of like trying to balance on the head of a pin.

The harmonic conversion in 1987 was a turning point in this. Many intuitive people received a calling that earth would undergo a metamorphosis and to prepare for an apococalyptic event that would occur by 2012. Some took that to mean that the sky was about to fall or that a real Y2K was upon us or that the closing of the Maya calendar meant that the end of time was actually the end of us. A lot of really wild explanations have been circulating.

I think it's true that a kind of precarious moment is upon us but I see the dramatic events unfolding on the world stage as having their source within us, internally, at the soul level. That's where the real action is happening as we make the shift to 5th dimensional consciousness. This has been planned for eons and now the stage is set for the Mother of new beginnings.

We are all stressed to the max and many of us do not know who we are anymore, where we are headed or what's next! People just feel strange, empty and unconnected, full of unknown anxiety. Some feel exhausted and unable to sleep and others are experiencing short term memory loss, flu-like symptoms, joint and muscle pain, digestive problems....the list goes on and on. These things aren't permanent and as we move into a higher vibration, most will feel them lift away, much like an ascending hot air balloon.

In order to get there, we have to get in touch with our own issues by cleaning up and clearing out the old thought forms we have created, physically, mentally and emotionally. It's almost like peeling layer after layer of an onion, until we get to the core.

IT IS TIME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FUTURE BY CLEANING UP YOUR ACT, AS WE FINISH 2009 AND MOVE INTO 2010

If you can't face your present reality, it is because you can't face all the things you have created, and it's time to get help!! Connect with friends or family, if need be. Perhaps the opposite is true for you and you need to begin setting new boundaries and letting go of people and situations that no longer serve your higher purpose. Or, do it through meditation and prayer, if that floats your boat. Get in touch with your SELF in whatever way you can. Get into your inner heart, be quiet and do not resist change or upheaval. Stop trying to control your life, instead, begin to flow with it. Use your intuition rather than thinking so much.

By fall of this year I see many will be peeking out from their inner sanctums, as we close out the year with several months of action. By doing the clean up work now, you won't feel as much fear and you will be ready to take more steps into the flow. You are in the process of reorganizing, clearing and healing your inner self and when you do that, you will to see the results reflected all around you. You will find that you can balance quite well....on the head of a pin!

THE HUMAN DRAMA

2009-06-25T21:08:00.011-04:00

GRATITUDE means to feel appreciation for something you have received. When you express it or when it is expressed to you, the result is pleasing, warm and I think it triggers an optimistic smile at the soul level. Gratitude is a BIG energy stimulator that is too often overlooked.

I suppose it gets overlooked because we are wrapped up in the HUMAN DRAMA. We get stuck in playing out all the day-to-day survival stuff and we end up exhausted at the thought of making lemonade from all those lemons. Who has the time or energy or the motivation to stop and express gratitude when so many of us are running around yelling. "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
Silver lining? Skip it! The glass is half full? Stuff it! Look on the bright side? Screw it!
It's tough to feel optimistic about or grateful for anything.

Not so fast....let's not throw the baby out with the bath water! If thoughts are energy. and you
KNOW they are, then maybe it's time to reconsider the value of gratitude. If you quietly add gratitude to every word, touch, thought or experience that makes you feel good, then the energy around and within you will begin to change. Energy is like a giant magnet and you program it in whatever way you choose. You can program it like the rest of the herd and keep screaming about that sky, or you can stand apart, be your unique, wonderful self and program it with gratitude.

Expressing gratitude costs nothing and yet the payoff is an energy jackpot. Gratitude
accelerates energy. Gratitude integrates energy. Gratitude attracts like-energy.

And while you are at it, express a little gratitude for yourself....just for being bold enough to take that step.....just for being here....just for being you.

GUILT

2009-06-09T12:53:00.010-04:00

We are often experts in guilt. Certainly we have learned it from masters. We unquestioningly and with great doggedness go about our assigned tasks without a grumble or a reproach. We are armed, however, with our sighs, our clenched teeth, our pathetic looks of "acceptance," and our sagging shoulders. Our favorite phrase is "That's okay," and we really don't mean it. One of our greatest skills is suffering, and we do it so well.

*We get our pound of flesh, and we lose our souls in the process. That's a high trade-off. ahhh

YOUR PRAYERS FOR SUN SIGNS

2009-06-02T17:24:00.011-04:00

EARTH SIGNS...

CAPRICORN- I seek myself through what I use (Principles)
TAURUS- I seek myself through what I have (Endurance)
VIRGO - I seek myself through what I learn (Perfection)
*************************************************************************************

These are material signs dealing with the human experience and the world of earthly matter.
Pragmatic, practical, conservative, careful, in the way they express themselves.
Everything they want must have a purpose in the material sense. Even faith and the philosophies of life must be practical. They are waiting for their dreams to manifest.
These signs have untold amounts of reserve energy as well as being devoted workers and
cannot be dominated!

PRAYER FOR CAPRICORN*
I enjoy climbing the ladder of success and wish my efforts to be rewarded. I look forward to my confidence and skills to guide me. By taking on too much, I must learn to give others encouragement in a loving way. As I pursue rewards for myself, help me to work with spiritual law. Your divine wisdom, dear lord, shall govern all my actions forever and ever Amen

PRAYER FOR TAURUS*
I open myself to break through the rock of my stubbornness. Although I seek material abundance, I develop other values besides sex, money and power. Balance my bullish attitude to push a point so I can make changes in my life easily without causing my own blocks. Teach me flexibility, dear lord and balance my nature without going overboard in my physical thinking. Amen

PRAYER FOR VIRGO*
Let me see the forest and not just the trees. Teach me to play and enjoy the fruits of my labor so that my life does not always seem to be a chore. Help me to accept others shortcomings as I must learn to accept my own. The quality of my time well spent with my talents serve others who are disorganized and I allow them to be themselves. I can see the expansive big picture so that pettiness does not get in the way. Amen

AIR SIGNS...
AQUARIUS- I seek myself through humility - (I know)
GEMINI -- I seek myself through what I think (I Think)
LIBRA -- I seek myself through what I unite (I balance)

Sometimes your thinking is with the lower mind and is the way you fool yourself. Being intellectual, many sided with nerve and brain, your high strung disposition does not always reach the heart. Adept at speech and argument, living with you guys is like leading a double life..
Being a masculine sign, you are all difficult in your views. It is not easy to break your routines. Your experience with love is rarely as deep as you would like it to be because you like to move and think at your own pace.
Beauty loving and artistic, your sense of proportion, line and color are superb. You are gracious and lovely mannered charmers. You don't like dealing with unpleasantness.
When it comes to the matter of judgement, air signs are extremely careful to weigh all factors. Sometimes air signs can vacillate and fail to come to any conclusion at all.
Music and other cultured things, aesthetic values make them very creative.

PRAYER FOR AQUARIUS*

Let me learn to act from a deeper place than my thoughts. Teach me to be more discriminating in my self-righteous attitude to balance the extremes of my nature. I pray that I develop a deep sense of personal commitment and a clear set of values upon which to depend. May the overbearing quality within me blend as I express myself as a truly unique distinctive personality.

PRAYER FOR GEMINI*
Stop my mind from thinking and help me to feel love for myself and others instead of analyzing with my logic reasoning. Allow me to look into the larger scheme of life and be big in my thinking. I will stick to my commitments and complete the tasks I have started. Quiet my mind of trivial thoughts.

PRAYER FOR LIBRA*

I want to face conflict, make clear decisions and stick to them. As I am direct in my approach, let me have the strength to develop my character and take a stand and face unpleasant situations. I pray through them.. I may discover exactly what I believe. I have set the most important priorities in my life so that I may find a deeper sense of peace and harmony than I have ever known.
FIRE SIGNS...

ARIES- I seek myself (I am)

LEO-- I seek myself through what I create (I will)

SAGITTARIUS I seek therefore I am (I perceive)

*************************************************************************************

They can step over everyone when they want to achieve their goals. The lion is governed by the heart, physically strong but emotionally weak. Aries embodies the search for self and identity. A mind in action, but always putting himself to the test. Needs relationships. Sagittarius is optimistic and buoyant, and goes after what he wants, although very democratic and has friends in all walks of life. An explorer and traveler; the sportsman of life. Can't keep any secrets. All of these signs like to be at the head of things in a position of authority, but eternally optimistic and young in spirit. They have control factors and for this reason, they like to work for themselves to the point of rashness. Willful and proud and head strong!. Most fire signs cannot do menial jobs. Ambition, magnetic personality, makes them feel they are the best in the world.

PRAYER FOR ARIES*

I burst with creative energy. I have the strength, vitality and stamina to overcome material obstacles. I am positive in self-expression. I am discerning, tolerant and patient. I do not inflict my needs on others in my need to compete.

PRAYER FOR LEO*

Dear Lord, please help me to let go of my desire for self-importance. Let me share the limelight as I allow my genuine warmth and sincerity to shine through. I pray to be able to commit myself whole-heartedly.

PRAYER FOR SAGITTARIUS*

Teach me to monitor my self-expression with discretion in moderation so that I don't say the wrong thing.

WATER SIGNS

PISCES- I seek myself with understanding (I believe)

CANCER- I seek myself through what I feel. I'm emotional ( I feel)

SCORPIO- I seek myself through what I desire (I desire)

*******************************************************************************************

These emotional watery signs have a nature that can't let go of accounts when wrong. Too sensistive to all feelings psychic and very impressionable. Hardly lets anything go when the discussion is finished.

Very faithful in love which is a combination that makes for happiness in marriage for Pisces and Cancer but not for Scorpios. They..can be tyrants! However, they love and play more passionately than any other sign in the zodiac. Some are extremely over-indulgent and jealous with an appetite that can be all consuming. The shrewed energetic ones are capable of hard work. Fighting uphill tires all of you guys out, but you are all kind and have a magnetic and compelling attraction to all. Also with par excellence for sex appeal, artsy and gutsy magnetism which facinates others with a strong constitution.

PRAYER FOR PISCES*

Dear lord, thank you for the infinite compassion that I feel within me, your gift from the universe; the experience of creative magic. Help me to conquer disillusionment as practical goals are clearly in my sight. Help me to set boundaries and strip the guilt from my being so that through right action and inner harmony can spring from my nature.

PRAYER FOR CANCER*

I express my emotions outwardly and directly in the moment or as they occur. I enjoy trying new experiences. I feel security in my changeability and not to be over protective. If I fearful or insecure help me to enjoy my home, family and love ones. These are the bonds that nourish me. Help me to be still and listen to the voice within so I have the courage to let go of past attachments and disappointments.

PRAYER FOR SCORPIO*

I know where I stand, but help me to soften. My sense of humor becomes lighter and not everything has to be my way. Let me relax my body as I let go of anger, resentment, and possessiveness.

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON

2009-05-26T20:19:00.003-04:00

We have come to think of our bodies as nonexistant and often experience little below our necks. Some of us even spend most of our time "out of our bodies". Instead of seeing our bodies as allies and sources of important information, we have come to see them as vehicles that torment us, and we use them as objects. We have forgotten the way they move and the joy we feel when moving them.
IT'S TIME TO MOVE BACK IN AND MOVE ON*

BACK TO THOUGHT FORMS

2009-05-25T08:53:00.002-04:00

Your brain is a marvel. It sees images and remembers them. This three pound organ collects all kinds of information from which it can analyze, compare, measure, sort and more. Imagine...everythought, feeling, experience you've ever had is stored in there.

Research has proven that electrical impulses in the brain are chemically induced; that they are basically controlled by our thoughts! That's amazing because maybe it means that we really do have the power to change our mood and attitude; the way we approach life, from negative to positive; possibly even our makeup at a cellular level. Maybe all those thoughts are the power by which we mentally produce our experiences outside ourselves. If so, maybe by changing our thoughts, we can change ourselves and our experiences for the better.

I know those things are true. I also know that our memories include not just this lifetime but many others. And I know we have the power to recollect our divine origin, along with the ability to consciously remember our original oneness with spirit.

That's all fine and good as far as the positive thoughts and experiences are concerned but what about the negative ones? There are lots of them stored too and you have to wonder how they affect things at a cellular level, right on up to producing the kinds of experiences we have outside ourselves. No one wants to repeat negative experiences over and over again, yet we do.

I have written before about what a single thought can do; it has power and takes form. If one thought form is drawn to another, it get bigger. If they are charged with intense emotion and formed with clarity, they can last forever, or at least until we transform them.

You can and do take it with you, but you don't have to.

1. Re-think what you are thinking. Don't let those stray thoughts go flying this way and that, creating who knows what kind of chaos.
2. Re-think what you are feeling.
3. Change your "fright syndrome" to building up your power with joy and love. Change the feeling the opposite way: from hate to love, from sadness to joy.
4. Change the negative thought form into a positive one.
5. Build it tighter and higher, as you see beauty within you. Feel it!
6. See yourself surrounded by harmony, joy, peace and abundance.
7. Or......whistle a happy tune and sing to yourself.

Be up, positive, and with love you will be drawn to spiritually complementary forces. creating a large and powerful vortex of healing energy that can positively change you and those around you.

People of great faith pray for miracles can definitely be drawn to you if the thinking is clearly directed. Know exactly what you want. Be focused on "seeing" the desired outcome.

HOW TO BE UNHAPPY

2009-05-19T11:07:00.009-04:00

Think about all the mistakes you have made in your life. Of all the foolish things you have said or done. Think about all of the opportunities you've screwed up on. Remind yourself of all the unkind things that have been said or done to you. Free yourself by first recollecting all of the gloominess when things did not go well. Put all these feeling s into the biggest bucket your mind can think of. Keep throwing these anxieties away whether it be from 30, 15, or 2 years ago. (I'll show you how later on). Put a huge plastic garbage bag over it for the sanitation collector to throw in the town dump and free your mind as the truck pulls away.

NOW - Think about yourself and how much you have gained, and learned from all these experiences which have toughened you. Sit down for fifteen minutes and think about yourself and all the wonderful things you have and love about yourself.

You have to break up the old mental concept and carefully build a new one, just an old building has to be torn down before a new one can go up on the same site. During the treatment, carefully build up a new mental structure. Brick by brick devoted to where you are now and the thoughts and choices of your future. Don't knock down what you have already built. If you constantly beat yourself up and change your thought patterns, you will wreck your mind instead of renewing it.

Your mind is your laboratory. To be negative, inconsistent, and slovenly in your mental life is to insure trouble and failure. The negative thought patterns you have, the fears, doubts and resentments, are to be starved out of existence by refusing to feed them with the attention upon which they live.

Thoughts nourished in love, harmony and peace, with practice, bring about the spirit of happiness within your soul. We reap as we sow and as we think good things, our corresponding limitations will follow it. This reaping takes time. Everyone wants what they want in a year or two or less, but since we do not live forever somewhere - 1 year, 2 or 30 years is a short time to pay for permanent results. This is what spiritual advancement is all about. Nature takes her time and we must not measure our earth time either. We would not be in the predicaments we live in now if we cared before. Yes, indeed, your thoughts are your life......

SIX STEPS TO MANIFESTING

2009-05-19T09:44:00.020-04:00

#1. Proclaim it..take control, clear your mind, and set your sights on success. Let your intuition help you get to the root of your intention. Know what you want and don't settle for less. Focus on your intention and desire. Basically say...This is what I want!

#2. Affirm It.. This is a process that is crucial whether your information be written affirmation, or just say what you want out loud. Saying words out loud and or writing it all down is very powerful. A stated declared intention you must shout out to the universe! ask for your needs easily as you state your wants clearly, positively, and confidently.

#3. Satisfy It..this is a ritual that you create that satisfies your intention and get into a sacred space that is yours and yours alone to enhance your thoughts properly with conviction.

#4. Energize It!.. In this step you prepare your body, mind and spirit to receive what you have requested. But this one literally focuses every part of your being toward your goal by gathering your psychic and spiritual energy. Even though energizing may imply a forceful action, our energy must be contained to manifest. It must be harnessed to build strength. Do not scatter your thinking. Breathe..breathing calms you down, concentrates your energy, slows down your body processes and makes it easy for you to enter a light alpha state of relaxation. It gets you ready for your meditation and visualization.

#5. Invoke it.. Let the universe know you are sending out this cosmic e-mail. Sending a clear message through word and action. This invocation summons the power to your aid. Once you call upon it, nothing can stop you! Do your visualization meditation.

#6. Give thanks for it..your ritual is not complete..nor is your message properly sent to the universe until you give thanks to the source of your joy, the very power that makes it happen for you. Just demonstrate a grateful heart. Send it out in a safe and loving way, ask for the highest good for all concerned. I give thanks, it is done!!

Crystals are better thank baking cookies in the oven to sell your home. They really do give it "buy me" appeal.

Method
Put one single-terminated crystal in each of the four main corners of your house when you wish the house to feel good and look wholesome to the looker. Place the four crystals with points facing into the rooms. In your mind's eye see and create a circle of white light going from point to point (seven times) as if the room were lit up like a neon light. Then, set the conditions through prayer that the sale of your home be in the best interest to seller and buyer.

UNDER CAR HOOD AND GAS LINE

CRYSTALS FOR PLANTS

Rose quartz pieces work well. Buy them by the pound and sprinkle around (no more than three) the plant, or use clear quartz and place three in a triangle facing into plant. Water the same way and program for the healing of them. A little love and music put into them will help to program.

THE MAGIC OF QUARTZ CRYSTALS

2009-05-11T13:16:00.018-04:00

Quartz crystal is the sacred mineral, the healer of the mind and planet, the nugget that raises the level of our souls.

Today's physicists have affirmed that many things exist not only in matter, but energy. Crystals are one of those things that exist as energy as well as matter. Crystals have either a positive or negative charge with high rates of vibrations, since they come from such areas as mines, caves, grounds, rivers, streams, or mountains. Because of their high energy, crystals can amplify, store, transform, focus, and transfer energy. That is why they work in areas of communication such as computers, lasers, audio technology, electrical signals, audiovisual equipment, microcircuits, and so on. As tools for technology, crystals transform electricity into radio and T.V. broadcast signals and are used in computers for memory banks.

In our private world, crystals can be used to modify our negative and positive emotions by energizing or healing our bodies. They also give us energy to increase our concentration and our powers of visualization. If you place a crystal over your third eye (above your forehead) you can listen to your inner voice and quickly calm yourself and bring your energy into balance.

I suggest that people who are beginning to utilize the power of crystals work with their right-brain energy-this intuitive capacity increases and expands with everyday application of crystal energy. Ultimately, relying on the right brain can help increase wisdom and instinct. As westerners, we have relied much on the left-brain activities of our logical, linear, goal-oriented thinking. With the use of crystals we can expand our right-brain thinking, leaving us open to our intuitive capacities. Quartz, with it's energy, amplifies and transmits and increases the energy of our minds.

Quartz appears to be light or water transformed into solid matter. It is the only natural transparency we can hold in our hands. In selecting one, choose one that draws you to it. You will be attracted to the harmony and effect it has on your body. If we use crystals along with our own thoughts, through meditation, through prayer, we can give focus and give energy to anyone in anyplace we desire to heal or otherwise make well. We can heal a loved one, or help sell a house. We can communicate telepathically. We can even learn to speak with Angels and Masters, but that means we must first learn how to listen and create the means to hear!! As the crystal helps put you in a state of altered consciousness, you can direct the crystal of your choice, which I will teach you to awaken the physical body to balance and repair itself.

You can also use crystals to expand your own personal thinking as a tool for mind expansion, for self-transformation and actualization--so you are working only on your higher self. If you meditate upon a crystal, it is the voice of your higher self that is reflected back at you. SO LET'S GO INTO ...................CHOOSING A CRYSTAL

Love it, be attracted to it. It should shine and vibrate in front of you and asked to be purchased. An inner awareness will make it signal to you as it stands out in a crowd. The best way to get a crystal is to receive it a a gift.

CLEARING AND CLEANSING

Some crystals have other people's thought forms and negative emotions already in them. If you use crystals for your own aura cleansing or if you use them for healing purposes, it is wise to cleanse them frequently to unlock the grief, anger, sadness, or other impurities trapped in the crystal.

There are many different methods of cleansing, but all methods I know use either salt water, spring water or sea salt. This is the method I use: Place stones in a bowl of water with at least two tablespoons of course salt (kosher) for twenty-four hours. Maybe, dry in sunlight or near a plant to give them a whiff of nature. Do not let anyone else handle them. If a crystal has been used for healing, it can be purified by circling it through sage smoke seven times counterclockwise.

PROGRAMMING & HOW IT WORKS

Hold the crystal in your hand and mentally program it to be cleared of anyone else but you! See yourself sitting in a purple spinning top and see a white background behind you. Take your problem and create a thought form & put it into the crystal The answers will come through the crystal energy...

THE HOURGLASS OF TIME...ASCENSION OR BUST

2009-05-04T11:50:00.018-04:00

Does anyone know what will happen in the next few years?

My sense is: Water will be a problem especially because of our shifting ocean currents, possible increases in solar flare activity, bacterial and viral issues which have only just begun, our ecosystem continuing to be in distress, severe fluctuations in weather patterns, volcanic and earthquake activity, financial instability, more media scares and more political nonsense, revealing more to us about how world events are shaped. There will be escalation of all these elements drastically changing our patterns of living in the next ten years.

YOU HAVE already experienced many of our earth's negative conditions and if my thoughts above are correct, there is more to come, but you have not experienced many of the other dimensions and other realms of life that are producing new energies. These new energies are also changing our patterns of living. Just because you haven't seen them or consciously experienced them, doesn't mean they aren't there! They are an important piece of the puzzle that sits in front of us because they herald in a GOLDEN AGE , and we are all giving birth to it.
Are you prepared to be a part of all these changes? Give birth to it and be a part?
There will be so much more to see, feel and learn creatively as well as increased mental coherency and to be much more fluid in our thinking so you will know where to be and when to be with much more clarity.

Shift your thinking and consciousness now, to receive the understanding and the knowing that you really are part of a plan, of all of us becoming higher dimensional beings. Your children and grandchildren are part of this new reality too, and they will be born wiser and more connected to this new and highly evolved stream of consciousness. I can see that these changes have already begun and they are accelerating. They are natural and part of the plan and a natural flow to our evolutionary process. Do not be alarmed or frightened. Humans can indeed be stupid, greedy and ignorant but, possibly, we are finally breaking out of the old shadow patterns and illusions that no longer serve us.

SO CREATE A MOVIE FOR YOURSELF---ALLOW YOUR OWN CREATION TO TAKE HOLD.

You are now seeing the world through the illusion of imprisonment. The blame for creating that condition is on all of us. My focus is not on the negative but on the positive potential, the possibilities it opens for those who are ready for the changes. I have spoken many times about ascension as a change or movement upward into new consciousness, Understand that you are NOT going anywhere or leaving. The ascension means that your perception will be definitely and radically altered. Think about that and understand what it means. What you have been feeling and seeing, and many things you thought were real, are being revealed as just more of the old shadow patterns and illusions.

Look around you as you shake your head while watching the TV, seeing the atrosities and wondering how the current conditions in the world can continue. Maybe you feel you are preparing for Armageddon or 2012 and that the world will come to an end. NOT SO!! We are more than halfway along the road in this current phase of revolution-evolution and we are learning to re-create ourselves. We are living in two worlds at the same time, the one we are passing out of is collapsing and the one we are moving into is just being being born.

Why can't we be positive and optimistic at the crossroad. as we create our destiny and why we chose to be born here in these times. Let yourself get tired of the old way of doing things and THEN produce and direct your own movie. Stay immersed in the emotion of appreciation, graditude, laughter and joy. Let these things guide you home to your new creation.

I see that by 2010 and 2012 we can all start laughing together. BEING PART OF THE NEW PLAN, with much love. May all your choices in these turbulent times lead you onto the "set" of your new movie, without fear, to a greater life of renewed joy. Then you have reached the point of "thought energy".

THE DARK SIDE

2009-05-03T15:17:00.004-04:00

Without sounding like a doomsayer or a weirdo with a crucifux in one hand and a stake in the other, it's tough to make the subject of the dark side light. Surely, we must defend ourselves to hurl back the negative forces of those that want to possess or control us or give us harm for their own evil purposes. Remember, evil spelled backwards is live energy. I would like to teach you how to build your psychic self-defense system. Perhaps learning to use shields for protection. Evil is a counterpart of God and all positivity. We do need to be exposed to the dark side in order to achieve the proper balance to move the many steps forward to meet with our higher self or to our spiritual higher vibrational levels. We must be exposed to learn! Never shrink back with fear as we must meet it head on.
Negativity runs the other way, as it cannot break through this shield of light. It is love and love alone that combats evil. God is infinite, evil short lived. It is not through force but will that we can extinguish these energies.
Your circle of protection is your white light. It gives protection from unknown entities, protection against evil or negativities. You are an easy mark if you are fearful, rattled or have depleted energy. It can break down your immune system barriers and through psychic attack permits illness to get inside. Reinforce your aura by demanding (mentally) and commanding this attack to stop, or go back to the source it came from. Then, ask your God-self and higher power to seal and close off your aura with a band of golden light!

IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING HAUNTED BY SOMEONE...
1. Get their picture or write the name on a piece of paper.
2. Light a white candle and say this prayer 3X's "Let evil return to evil"
3. Burn the picture or paper completely. Burn it until it is nothing but black ashes, as this will remove the haunting.

WHAT ABOUT RIDDING YOURSELF OF SOMEONE WHO WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER...TRY THE TRAP DOOR DISASSOCIATION FOR THE RELEASE..

This is good to know if you are plagued by people who won't take no for an answer, refuse to get lost, and refuse the exist door of your life. This is resorting to the legal way and removal of their energies....forever.
* All of the following must be done as a ritualistic process before beginning:
1. Pray to your higher powers. Ask that they fill your vibrations with love
2. Mentally don your ceremonial gown or robe of light.
3. Mentally put on a headpiece consisting of gold made to look like a crossbar (from temple to temple) with filigree work in it.
4. See the person you want erased from your life in a black light (black absorbs all energies) with a red color in back of him or her. (red is the color if primordial energy)
5. Imagine the darkish figure of the person you are excorcising standing on a trap door with a lever on the side of it to which you have control. Perhaps you may think of them standing in a police line-up with the lever near you to pull.
6. Now light your candle as you call in your spirit guides for assistance
7. Repeat this incantation three times:

"I wish to erase ( persons name) from my memory bank and that is the memory bank of (your name) Also, I wish to rid any thought forms from any of the controlling entities that surround (persons name) that influence his/her negativity
I release all thought forms and vibrations that associate myself ( your name) with (persons name) and again release the entities that control and influence him or her
I wish this immediately be carried out and to remain in power indefinitely. Thank you and so be it! Amen
(Note: ) It may take awhile for the cycle to rid yourself of this being on all levels, but with patience and positive thought..the action will be done. For extreme cases, repeat the process once more eight days later after sunset.........

HOW TO GET RID OF A PLAYFUL HOUSE GUEST__OOPS, HOUSE GHOST

*Paint the house. Remove all the old wallpaper as it hold thoughts. Ghosts that are thought forms don't like red, so think about choosing it when ghosts seem strongest.
*Strong, loud music, especially rock and roll, should be played loudly for three days.
*Burn sandlewood incense for one week, as this is a good purifier.
*Ghosts do not like strong light or sunshine. Flood the house with light and lots of sunshine

Ghosts are athought forms that attach themselves to the area they have lived in or perhaps died in. When their thoughts are so strong they linger on so much so that their energies have crystalized into a habit. You merely have to release the thought form. JUST ASK THEM TO GO INTO THE LIGHT!!

MEDITATION EXCERCISE TO HELP NEUTRALIZE THE SWINE FLU

2009-04-28T09:39:00.005-04:00

Trust me, it's a fact: We all work with one "infinite" power of God and we are all creators of our own universe. Meta physicians believe that the mechanics of meditation, prayer and love are universal, and that they work no matter who you are or what you believe. Our spiritual belief system traditionally encourage you to "hook in" to the many benefits of their works, such as instant and positive results from prayer, as well a remarkable healing.

Perhaps you will see the power within you with this group energy if we all ask together.

A. Start with self preparation:

1. Use what you already know about body posture to align yourself to prayer. In other words, just get yourself comfortable. Take a few deep breaths. Always send out your visualizations in all directions: North/South/East/West.
2. See a magnetic grid, or a spaceship, or a disc, etc... (Just project yourself in whatever form you choose, as if you were a piece of God, which you are.)
3. See a giant neutralizer, perhaps something like a vacuum cleaner sucking up the atmosphere and clearing it of any toxins, or traveling viruses, or whatever needs to be neutralized.

Communicate with the universe, or just stay local and communicate with beautiful earth, inviting your angels in to assist in projecting group energy to neutralize and wipe out the swine flu. That is your target! This is a generated thought action meant to create a final result.

Visualize our planet in a state of physical peace, without eternal cataclysm ever touching it..in harmony with the entities that reside on and in it. Visualize and verbalize your planet as healed!

MY DIARY (a little about me)

2009-04-22T15:43:00.021-04:00

I never did write in a diary as a child as some of my friends because I couldn't share my childhood experiences with anyone. Would anyone believe I saw little people dancing, laughing all dressed up in beautiful clothes in my bedroom on the window sills and dressers?

Since I have been recollecting my childhood, I also thought of that horrible day of the misery my Dad did to me. He refused to keep my dog "Buttons" in the house because she was biting on all his shoes and slippers. When I was in school he put the dog in his car and drove her 10 miles away for someone to find and keep. That was the only thing I never forgave my father for! When I came home from school and she was not there, I cried bitter tears. How could anyone not have a love for animals I thought. In my mind, I drew a map which consisted of a line from me to Buttons for the dog to come back home to me . It was like" follow the yellow brook road." In short, lickedly split, she arrived home over a week later very dirty, thin and soaked in oil. I heard her barking under my window in the driveway on a beautiful Saturday morning. I vowed we would never part again! Dad was in the doghouse as my Mom's will was stronger than his. I had my dog to my Pre-teens until it passed away . She was so special and loving and taught my father how to love.

I knew then by even playing what I called "sky girl" on my swings, pushing up and down there were other beings out there and not necessarily airplanes. I simply saw flying objects in space going back and forth. Of course, I flew with them. (lol)

I never told my stories to anyone as I knew they would not believe or understand. Oh yes, I did have a friend to join me on these occasions and she went along telling me she had so much fun with my imagination, By the way, I still see her and call her the "Brooklyn kid" We met in kindergarten and still talks about the fun I put her through.

Trust me when I say grew up very well adjusted with plenty of love! My house was the soup kitchen for all those to eat, play and be merry. My Mother worked like a dog cleaning, cooking but with smiles on her face. No microwaves either. Life was so simple then.

Currently. starting to write this weblog, I have been writing about how I think and what I feel. Sooo my dear readers...I feel compelled to write my innermost journey, only this time, I care less of what people think!! My ..have I grown.

In the beginning of my practice, I received calls that I had to answer questions that were very mundane and totally linear. Examples: What color shall I wear for the party I am going to. Where shall I go on vacation, how big will my engagement ring be? Who is cheating on who..Hmmmmm secrets.
You get the drift.

I'm happy to say my audience has become more sophisticated because people are dealing with real issues concerning survival. Yeh, we definitely have become, and/or becoming aware suddenly that the world then was not what we thought it was cracked up to be. We were owned by the government possibly a form of mind control. People are stating their feelings openly coming into a different state of consciousness .. I realize that joy and laughter leave when times are difficult but if you get into your own skin and trust, there is always that light at the end of the tunnel. When you look back at a crisis you have had, don't you laugh at what made you so crazy!

Love is essential and truth above all paramount......

Now, worries regarding work, money and family feuding are more prevalent. People that think differently cannot abide by the old forms of life any longer. We are now Pilgrims asking; who am I?, why am I here?, and what is my truth?

ADVICE ON HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A BENEFICIAL READING

2009-04-19T13:47:00.012-04:00

1. Understand that in most cases, psychic attunement is not fortune telling, unless one happens to be a fortune teller. Most clairvoyants have first to attune themselves to your level of understanding, whether you are into basic earth understanding, or just the material world.

Some need answers to their souls growth, perhaps to find out about their past lives.

2. Expect truthful advice while you are having your session. Review what feels right after your session, and decide if it feels right to you. Just try to separate from your personal desires or prejudices. In other words, be open! Intense human emotion can make it difficult while sitting, so do try to breathe and be still.

3. Good teachers or clairvoyants do not always need advance information. Just let them know from time to time if they are on the right track so not waste your time or theirs.

4. Timing of events is one of the hardest elements to predict accurately. Psychic information does not come through the linear time frame. Information comes through in terms of words, pictures, concepts and/or feelings. Some get audio or visual impressions. Discrepancies arise only when they don't know whether a picture is symbolic or literal. They can determine this when they are working with you. Expect good results. Remember, is it your truth or the truth. Be honest!! Don't be quick to say no as the information may clarify itself later on. Have patience!

5. Maybe many things you need to go through maybe destined, so you merely have to go through the problem so your understanding can be revealed. Many traumas are caused by your choices, and your free will.

6. If you try to prolong a reading, the energies involved could dissipate for you and your reader. Your clairvoyant is not your wet nurse or therapist, as a different energy is involved. Energies can become lost, the rules should be established beforehand.

7. The truth is not always measured by love and kindness. Always, truth must be determined not what you would like to hear, but always delivered in a positive manner by a good clairvoyant. Let the light of truth guide you, and above all pray in advance that you will be sent to the right person for you. I can assure that you get what you ask for. In time, you always get what your needs are.

WHY IS INTUITION SO SPORADIC?

2009-04-17T13:30:00.013-04:00

Wouldn't inner knowing be the most useful tool to sense and heighten our intuition on a regular basis? Maybe, if everyone was equally aware, our evolution process would speed up and reduce this challenge of utilizing the mind and doubting ourselves.

However, what we don't use, you can be sure the next generation will have all these abilities. Too bad some of you will miss out in the here and now!

Most people do not always pay attention to their feelings, or follow their gut feelings, or 6th sense . With the present movement of technology and being too busy these days, we don't allow ourselves to think further as all this tech stuff is making us lazy so we don't know how to think. Or, too tired to think as we forge ahead with our daily practices.

Animals, dogs for example, are well known to be ghost spotters and especially with an amazing sensitivity to danger and other occult forces. In some ways I hope mankind is becoming more attuned to the possibilities of his unconscious. Just think how Hollywood movies, the sci-fi stories have well become a reality in these times. Remember the movie "E.T." " cocoon "and all the space travelers, UFO movies before you even knew space exploration existed? Guess those right brain writers tapped into their advanced insight with their "over the moon" abilities and utilizing their functioning right brain.

You maybe thinking about waking up your untapped mental resources that have been buried for eons of time and develop it, but don't force it. Play some games with yourself guessing who is calling when the phone rings. That's a great exercise. What about thinking of a friend and they suddenly call. The intelligence, the mind behind the senses, utilizes and tabulates the impressions it receives from the outer worlds or planes. Mind is something above and beyond the senses even though it is absolutely dependent on them so it can break down the impressions to this world's mind and the Universal mind. It is the same with soul and spirit. All knowledge of eternal life from within the Universe is received by means of the soul. The mind utilizes all the knowledge and experience so that the soul in its various cycles is continually receiving and sending to it. Wherein lies the doorway of perception. If your subconscious picks up on something important, it will stand a much better chance of getting some message through if you don't push too hard. How's that for your 101 training!..Whew.... Getting it?

This Age of Aquarius will be a considerable improvement over the Age of Pisces. Intellect may take on the improvement of human ability to be more open to the fact that your conscious reality is indeed not all that real or what it's supposed to be. Your imagination is the key to feeling what may come. Dare to dream. Usually, the first thought that comes to your mind is the truth and usually the correct feeling or answer. Never let yourself be influenced by "rational considerations in your guess work. Simply, let your intuition give you the answers and be your guide.

"Create your own universe as you go along"....Winston Churchill
