Are you having periodic episodes of sleep issues? Can’t sleep? Wake up at
3am and can not go back to sleep?
Are you having periodic episodes of unexplainable or amplified severe
fatigue?
Are you experiencing GPS issues or cell phone glitches?
What about periods of unexplainable or amplified bouts of stress and
anxiety?
Have you felt great one day and then suddenly you got seriously ill as if it
was out of the blue?
Have your dreams been increasing in frequency and vividness?
What about time? Are you struggling with managing time or feeling as if time
escapes you or as if you are in a time warp?
If you answered yes to any of those, keep reading.
If you have been following me on Facebook or Instagram, you may have noticed I have been talking a lot about space weather and how it has been affecting the planet and us as humans. Yes, we as a species are evolving.
Many of the posts have been about how the incoming space weather may effect our sleep, moods, energy levels to GPS systems, cell phones and computer glitches not to mention effects on earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, blizzards, and more.
As humans, we see the sun rise and we see the sun set. We hear about events like solar eclipses and are like ooooo ahhhhh. However, the sun does change and it is currently changing. Did you know this?
Enter The Solar Minimum
Since 2015, the sun began transitioning into what is called the solar minimum phase after a very intense solar maximum phase. This is a solar cycle the sun enters approximately every 11 years with a “grand” maximum phase approximately every 200 years.
The peak low period for the potential of solar minimum phase is forecast to enter between 2019-2020 with ignition of the potential grand solar minimum phase.
This basically means the sun’s activity is reduced to its lowest level and the
sunspots and solar storms have quieted down a bit. It is the “calm” phase of the sun.
Research shows that the last “Grand” solar minimum was believed to have occurred
sometime between 1645 and 1715.
There are four major shifts that are affecting all life on earth right now known as space weather:
Solar flare activity
Solar wind storms from coronal holes
Cosmic rays
Geomagnetic storms
All these shifts with the sun weaken the earth’s magnetic fields. Since this
cycle began, we have experienced an approximate 30% reduction of
the earth’s magnetic fields and the acceleration of the shifting of the
poles.
The strength of these magnetic fields is needed to shield all life on earth from harmful space weather particles. So understanding how this affects us is important so we know how to navigate.
Also, during this solar phase, earth will gradually cool with potentially colder, more eventful winters and has been likened to a mini-Ice Age.
A fairly recent study predicts that the next grand solar minimum could see
the sun with almost a 7% reduction in light and heat – and this is 7% below the
normal solar minimum.[1]
Valentina Zharkova, a professor of mathematics at Northumbria University in
the UK, states “… solar activity will fall by 60 percent during the 2030s to
conditions last seen during the ‘mini ice age’ that began in 1645…”[2]
Don’t panic. All in all, what is
important to remember is that the sun-earth relationship is always in a constantly
state of flux doing their magnificent dance in our solar system.
What are solar flares?
Solar flares are magnetic explosions that happen on areas of the sun called sun spots. The emit flashes of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation.
During a grand solar minimum phase, there are fewer sun spots emitting solar flares which means there is less CME’s bombarding the earth.
Because the solar flare activity is quieting down on the sun, we are experiencing
another interesting phenomenon… coronal hole storms.
The Coronal Hole Storms
“Coronal holes are vast regions in the sun’s atmosphere where the sun’s magnetic field opens up and allows streams of solar particles to escape the sun as the fast solar wind.” (NASA)[3]
We have been experiencing over the past few months more coronal hole
activity that spews massive streams of solar wind that can affect the earth’s
magnetic field causing what is called a geomagnetic storm.
These solar wind storms can cause disruptions to communication systems like
cell phones as well as GPS systems because of the friction satellites experience
at the time.
Cosmic Rays
You might be saying to yourself what pseudo-science is this? I assure you
this is a thing and can be verified through NASA website.
According to NASA: “There
are unique space weather effects that get stronger during solar
minimum. For example, the number of galactic cosmic rays that reach Earth’s
upper atmosphere increases during solar minimum. Galactic cosmic rays are high
energy particles accelerated toward the solar system by distant supernova
explosions and other violent events in the galaxy.”[4]
Cosmic rays can “trigger larger flash floods, hailstorms and – due to jet stream
disturbance and mixing of atmospheric layers – local long-duration
precipitation events (e.g. atmospheric rivers)”[5] as we have been
witnessing over the plain states this year.
It can also trigger earthquakes,
lightening, and volcanoes and other tectonic anomalies.
How Does Space Weather Affect Us?
Disclaimer: Please see a doctor for anything deemed a medical emergency. What is posted here is not a substitute for medical care and is for reference and education only.
To me it is validating and interesting to see what science is beginning to say to substantiate what many of us empaths, healers, and others in the spiritual community have been saying using different terminologies.
The effects from this recent sun cycle began to amplify how we are
experiencing things after the solar eclipse of August 2017.
We can anticipate more earthquakes, volcanoes, lightning, and other electric
events and an enhanced risk for a solar flare that can disrupt our power grid.[6]
There is even some discussion in the scientific communities about the
biologic effects of space weather on humans. There is
more space radiation entering the earth’s atmosphere due to the earth’s weakened
magnetic field. This means humans are more susceptible to the influx of cosmic
rays, harmful electromagnetic radiation and space particles.
Some of you have heard me talk about the science behind the space weather
and earth’s weakening magnetic fields and how it may impact our health.
What might you personally experience? All are deemed unexplainable or amplified
for those with existing current medical conditions.
Bouts of inability to sleep
Bouts of serious fatigue or mega sluggishness
Cardiac arrythmias
Chest pressures
Mood shifts
Time warps or feeling as if you are. May feel as
if time is speeding up and then slowing down.
Emergence of unresolved old wounds or traumas
Spiritual awakening and growth
Heightened sensitivities or empathic abilities
Those who are at greatest risks? Those with cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, and sleep disorders as well as those who fly. You can read about this from the research conducted about space weather from the University of NH.[7]
Here is another article from the
European Space Agency about the biological effects of space weather radiation.[8]
Please do not go into panic mode. I do not write this to create chaos and
doom and gloom. The intention is to make you more aware and awake to the
effects space weather might have on your human body and mind.
We forget we are made up of mostly water that conducts electricity and the heart
and brain are centers for electrical conduction. So how can we NOT be affected?
The point of writing this is to help you navigate some of what you might
experience and better explain some of the symptoms especially when the medical community
cannot explain or help you.
I have learned over the years that the “not knowing” factor can be quite
debilitating to our very being. So education, understanding, and doing the self-care
work are key.
As humans, we are evolving and experiencing some mass spiritual awakening
that is coinciding with all of this. We are healing generational traumas, old
belief systems and patterns.
It is important moving forward if you are sensitive to the space weather and
learn tools to manage these effects.
In Summary, What to Expect During Solar Minimum or a Potential Grand Solar Minimum Phase
If the space weather forecast is correct, we may be entering a grand solar minimum phase. Here are some things to consider:
Interestingly, some research connects the grand solar minimum periods or aka the ‘bad-weather periods’ to times of also relative peace, reason and of improvements of human rights.
Is this a surprise?
I have seen just in my own work a surge in
humanity seeking, spiritual awakening, and desires for deep healing. With that
comes some disruption.
In the climate:
Ionization of atmospheric molecules –Cloud nucleation
More cloud formation and erratic precipitation.
Long-term cooling of the earth
More snow and ice reflect solar radiation
More localized larger flash flooding
More Hailstorms and lightening
Crop damage, local surface heating, wildfires and biological damage can all be accelerated by an increase in UV radiation
Earthquakes and volcanoes and other tectonic anomalies triggered by cosmic ray influxes
Space Weather
Weaker solar magnetic field aka solar
flares
More cosmic ray influx from space
Longer coronal hole wind storms
More UV radiation entering the earth
The shift in our galaxy moving from its protective
magnetic bubble
In Our Health
Sleep disturbances
Bouts of serious fatigue or mega sluggishness
Cardiac arrythmias
Chest pressures
Mood shifts
Time warps or feeling as if you are. May feel as
if time is speeding up and then slowing down.
Emergence of unresolved old wounds or traumas
Spiritual awakening and growth
Heightened sensitivities or empathic abilities
Joint pains
Headaches
Vivid dreams
Other Disruptions
More electric events that affect communications such as cell phones and GPS systems
An enhanced risk for a solar flare that can disrupt our power grid
Increase risk of more radiation when flying
Deconstruction – political systems, relationships, jobs
As humans, we are experiencing massive spiritual upgrades as we deconstruct
old beliefs systems and patterns. The storms, quakes, and tremors taking place
on earth are also taking place within us, emotionally, physically, and
spiritually.
All these external experiences occurring reflect a universal transformation process affecting all levels of existence. It is important to get in alignment with these cycles energetically to master the flow of change within us. The changes taking place have a higher purpose.
The mainstream systems such as political, religious, media, and financial will try to gaslight the masses out of fear and desire to control. Resist the urge to go relinquish your natural born rights and freedoms. This does not mean to be a shithead. It means to step into your soul path.
The old ways of power grabs, belief systems, and patterns are being
deconstructed for a higher spiritual evolutionary reasoning beyond our own comprehension.
Those in power do not like this and will attempt to gaslight and control the
masses. When we allow others to control
us and force poisons into our bodies, minds, and spirit against our will, we
give up responsibility to nurture our divine selves.
But the cosmic events and space weather do not lie.
We are in an interesting time in history literally and metaphorically. As we go through these multi layered shifts, we may feel out of balance at times – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. These are NORMAL when going through soul growth and expansion.
Actions to Take
Move out of the head and into the heart and gut space.
Listen to the wisdoms of the body as it has a wealth of knowledge for you to tap into.
Turn off tv programming that creates fear and agendas that are not in alignment with your very core being of who you are
Be careful of the inner critic. Don’t always trust that old chatter.
Trust that no matter what, your soul has your back.
Treat Your Body as a Temple. That means refrain from putting toxins into it.
Grow your own food or support a local, organic farmer.
You are more than the reality that you perceive. We are frequency and vibration. So work with the space weather to become a master of the flow.
Find a competent well skilled healer – who has done the work and walks the walk – to help you reset your nervous system, immune system, and endocrine systems.
Be aware of your triggers and work on healing those cords
Practice daily grounding, meditation, and gratitude
Release fear and step into your light and power.
What is happening with our space weather is just to help you better
understand what is happening within and around us so we know what actions to
take and know how to master the energetic ebb and flow of change.

Hmmmmm do we have the luck of the Irish this month? Got spring fever yet? As I am typing this, the sun is shining, and the outdoor temperature is in the low 40’s as we prepare for a massive storm stretching most of the US kicking off the month of March. I always see storms as something significant in the spiritual path and something to view within all of us to help our souls growth.
There is soooooo much shifting, healing, revealing, and shaking up going on, and I do not anticipate that momentum slowing down any time soon.
Forget the Lamb. Hello Lion.
Right? Are you feeling this already? Holy cow. Or should I say holy lioness? Or is it the DRAGON masked as the lion?
This month, I edge closer to the 50 mark on the solar calendar and this is the time of year I check in deep with myself and where I am going, where do I find joy and what still need to be accomplished.
Over the next couple months, I will be doing LOTS of traveling for personal and professional development to attend a magical wedding, co-facilitate a men’s healing group in VT, and attend the Trauma Training Conference with Vander Kolk. Just to give a glimpse.
This month I feel will definitely push boundaries and push us out of our comfort zones forcing us to dig deeper before the thaw and emergence of the new plantings of spring.
Self-Love: A Journey
1 of 10 hearts stumbled upon a walk mid Feb 2019
Last week I wrote about an experience I had at the park with hearts on the 10 year anniversary of the divine sending me signs and learning to build a partnership with the divine to help guide me on my path.
You can read the post here, Self Love – A Journey With The Divine in Nature. I write these posts from the heart to share these journeys with you. As always, I would cherish your comments and feedback on the post and know if what I write resonates with you and helps guide you on YOUR path.

Dragon and the Sun
Screen shot of video of sun activity 2/27/19
Many of you have been hearing me talk about dragon energy increasingly over the last few years and may have even attended an event I facilitated where we tapped into dragon energy. Well check this out… this is filed under #cantmakethisshitup.
I was watching a scientific video on the updates of solar activity and how it affects the sun dated 2/27, and while watching it, I saw a dragon in the coronal hole of the sun (or what I like to call the shadow side of the sun). Do you see it? Here is the screenshot I took.
I believe this is the same solar storm that spewed out a dragon northern light show that was circulating all over social media on the 28th.
So now we are in March … how lion … I feel like our the wounded unhealed part of our egos might get quite the challenge this month and it is important to remember to come from a place of soul and view what surfaces emotionally for you as a road map of what needs to be released, healed, or reevaluated.
Mercury Retrograde
With mercury going retrograde on March 6th, it will be a good time to re-evaluate, relax, rethink, redo, plan, prepare projects or situations. Now I am a Pisces, so what I know is that it is important to PAUSE and seek the lessons or pearl of wisdom that is being presented to you. You might find this challenging because we are a culture and a society that let’s our emotions control us vs guide us. Yes there is a difference.
This series “Today I Bless My Junk” has been quite the challenge for me. However, I feel if I am to convey a certain message, I choose to be raw, real and authentic seeing all of me with an unaltered video.
Here is part four in the series of “Today I Bless My Junk”. In this video I go into the “WHY” we need to bless our junk especially during these intense energetic times as part of the today I bless my junk series.
We all have junk … Do we not?
We all have junk lurking in our shadows … in our closets … in the depths of our minds. We don’t know what to do with something and what do we do? We put it in the closet? Right? Then when our closet gets full, we gasp and avoid dealing with the closet. Sound familiar?
Why the #metoo and #timesup movements are important
Survivors of abuse who have once been silenced are now being heard in ways unprecedented. This is BIGGER than we know and could ever imagine and goes far beyond what has happened with abuse survivors. It transcends into race, culture, economics, religion, and more.
What does it mean to bless your junk?
To bless your junk means to take all the pain, hurt, trauma, betrayals, etc and transform it for wholeness, happiness, prosperity, and success.
According to the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, a blessing is “a thing conducive to happiness or welfare”. A blessing endowed power for prosperity and success.

Wow, what a ride this past November. Have you shifted out of your comfort zone yet? Have you made peace with the shadow part of self?
We are still experiencing a tremendous shift in consciousness and what a “shift” storm it has been. There are lots of changes and revelations as we prepare to close out 2017.
Truths continue to be revealed.
Shadows continue to be brought into the light.
My question to you, Do you bless your junk?
As a trauma survivor, it was refreshing to see all that came to light this past month. I felt in some cases my voice was being heard through so many other survivors of abuse. Yup #metoo.
BUT … for me, I choose to focus on the healing and the gifts born out of a horrible experience. Please check out my video on “Today I Bless My Junk #MeToo”.
My hope is to shed light and understanding in order to create a positive shift in perception, healing, reality, dimensions, and higher consciousness.
So much may have been perceived to go wrong lately, but with that said, so much has been gifted to us in the form of awakening, growth, and lessons.
Growth is many times is not always easy and sometimes results in metaphorical death. However, if we shift our perspective just a little and see the world through a different lens, we just might surprise ourselves.
The holidays are here!
The holiday season is a time of giving and thanks for what we’ve been given, and the gift of healing and self care is a great way to show your loved ones you care.
Who doesn’t love the look on someone’s face when they open something special from you?
Try this … lets all do a random act of kindness this holiday season and shift the global consciousness one frequency and vibration at a time.
Also, be sure you take care of YOU. That means take a pause when needed or a nap if you feel inclined. The self care mantra has pounded us til we are raw, yet so many of us are still resisting? Why? Are you self punishing? Cut the crap, and start cherishing YOU and taking care of YOU.
Come in for some reiki or vibrational healing with the Tibetan bowls and clear out some toxicity and restore wholenness. OR come in for some spiritual guidance and coaching.
I am not your go to? That is fine too. Just find someone who can assist you on your path. Remember, what you may have considered the norm in the past is no longer the norm.
It is time to shift your vibration and live more authentic and true.
My goal is to help illuminate your soul, guide you on your path, remove toxicity and restore wholeness. I offer a variety of spiritually based holistic health enrichment:
Trauma
Dementia
End of Life

This was written about a tree or many trees that have come into my path recently teaching me and mirroring elements found in humanity.
This particular tree always calls to me when I visit this area. I tend to find myself drift in deep meditation when I heed the call.
If we quiet the noise, we can hear their whispers and feel their love and or pains. I know it may sound kooky to some of you, but it really is a choice.
It is a matter of shifting perspectives, quieting the mind, and surrendering to the flow of what is. This can be achieved through various mindfulness-based practices.
So, I hope you enjoy.
My view as I lay on the branch of this tree. Full of scars, yet the light of day shines through
“I AM … the Tree”….
Today, I am the tree with my arms stretching out like branches, my feet digging deeper into the earth like the roots, my hair catching the sun’s rays and moving in the breezes tapping in to the infinite mystical wisdom, essence, and energies of the tree.
I am the tree who’s leaves bustle in the breeze dancing with the heavens. I bask in the nurturing rays of the sun. The health of my leaves provides nourishment and life for other life forms dependent on me.
I am the tree who is rooted in the earth anchoring me and nourishing my soul. I am grounded. I feel safe, strong, and resilient. The health of my roots will determine the heath of my trunk, branches, and leaves. The deeper my roots go, the stronger I become when a storm arises.
I am the tree whose roots are wrapped around me tightly, giving me strength, security, and stability. My roots make me feel warm and comforted. I am loved and nurtured in all ways.
I am the tree whose branches sprout growth reaching higher and higher towards the sky. I am nourished by the earth and the heavens. I am permeable and grow in areas most needed. My branches transform and transmute the past into the new.
I am the tree whose branches bare scars of my past reminding me of where I came from. But more importantly, they remind me how well I have healed over my wounds, and where I still need healing.
I am the tree whose trunk stands firm connecting the ground with the sky. I feel strong and stable reminding me of how far I have come keeping the memory fully intact of the summary of all that has happened since my birth.
I am the protector and lifeline for the rest of me. I can easily tap into the ancient wisdom when necessary.
I am sheltered.
I am permeable.
I am in symbiotic relationship with the rest of the world.
I am the tree basking in the wonders of life.
I am physically and spiritually nourished.
With tree, the past, present, and future blend beyond time as one.
I am life
I am death
I am tree.
With love and appreciation,

Picture taken during the 2017 solar eclipse on Cape Cod by: Laura Joseph
I wrote this after a few days of sifting through pictures, deep reflections and meditation with osprey.
For some reason I felt a huge tug every time I looked at the photos I took of a few osprey while on Cape Cod during the 2017 solar eclipse. So I decided to let the messages flow at the end of my pen.
I hope you receive the magic and guidance of osprey as I did. Here is what came out as a result:
Today, I continue to spread my wings surrendering my fears.
Fear and anxiety begins to dissipate when I trust my wings will guide me to new heights.
All is well.
The osprey in me guides me to reclaim my power healing old emotional wounds surfaced and let the past traumas of abuse to strengthen me.
With the osprey, I am taught to trust in abilities and have the confidence to know I can achieve my goals.
With osprey, I gain clarity in my visions strengthened by the recent solar eclipse (I took this pic at the observatory while we witnessed the solar eclipse)
With osprey, I am keenly aware of the messages from the divine and listen for their divine guidance.
With osprey, I transform and transmute all that no longer serves me for my highest and best.
What I will be writing about, I am unsure if this is directed to my personal path and journey or if you will find that it will resonate with you. I would love to hear from you and your feedback as it helps me help you. I would appreciate that deeply. So, when you think these spiritual storms we have been riding over the past few months and years have slowed down and we can breathe, we are faced with more storms as we continue to upgrade and change in order to be more in vibrational alignment with source energy and our soul purpose. Just as you think you can catch your breath, we begin September with more changes ahead with the start of the eclipse season and our third mercury retrograde this year. As I am writing this, I am wondering how many of us have surrendered to the Universal energies, let go of the past … karmic in past lives, hurts in this life, and generational karma. We are healing it all if we learn to step aside and allow our soul to guide us and light the way. This journey has not been easy especially those also healing some form of trauma. With all that I do and practice, I can attest to this struggle as our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies let go and realign. No one ever said healing was ever easy, but it is worth it. I began to write about my journey healing trauma associated with abuse. One thing I have learned with trauma and PTSD, it loves to reign you in and prevent the healing to commence and will attempt to trick your brain into old outdated patterns or more of the very same you are trying to leave behind you. These patterns of constant fight or flight are there for our safety and protection, but when in overload, it is like keeping your finger in an electrical socket and you can not see, feel, hear, anything else around you never mind inside the self.

One of the things I have had to address and face is healing karmic cords with my abuser in this life and in previous lives. This is NOT easy by any stretch. However, each day I am stronger, and remind myself that I AM … FREE … from those karmic bonds that tied me for 20+ years of my life in this life as well as in previous lives. The trauma and PTSD side would like to keep replaying the same story thinking it is protecting me not recognizing my finger has already been removed from that electrical socket. It takes faith in the unknown and higher power and courage to remove your finger and begin healing. So for many, the Universe and our souls pushed our buttons hard this year to get us out of our comfort zones, challenged relationships, and forced us to face the things needing change so we may continue to evolve from the caterpillar to the emerging butterfly. For those who have experienced PTSD or some form of trauma, these have been magnified. My question for you to ask yourself is: “Were you open to change or resistant?”
When we can have the courage of trying to not control every aspect in our life and face our shadow self, we become awakened. We begin to embrace and nurture the inner child within allowing us to surrender the ego and the control that the trauma has in our life.

In order to get there, we must look at the two greatest emotions that drive us. The themes of love and fear continue to the surface for review. I know for me this was a big one, because, my abuser kept me captive paralyzed in fear and stripping me my sense of self and gaslighted me to believe I was better off dead.
So relearning to trust in myself and know that I was worthy of love took many years of healing and lots of work. Slowly I regained my sense of self through self love and self compassion. What helped me initiate the process was my Spiritualist faith, reiki, and meditation practice.
If we are in a state of fear, how can we love? AND vice versa, if we are in a state of love, how can we fear? Learning the art of detachment from people, places, things and especially outcomes have also surfaced to allow for more soul growth. Whenever I see myself reliving fear or something I thought I healed or resolved or let go of from my past, I do the following:
I acknowledge its presence
I thank the Universe for bringing it to my attention so I may learn how to release this
I create intentions and call upon my spiritual team to assist me. Depending on the issue, this may be my ascended reiki masters to Archangel Michael to Saint Germaine. You can create your team to assist you and call upon them. They will not intervene unless you ask for their assistance.
I allow myself to receive love from the divine presence.
I practice one or a combination of the modalities I have been studying over the years. This may be a violent flame meditation, to tibetan singing bowls, to reiki, to a meditative walk in nature or the like.
I practice self love, self worth, self compassion, and self forgiveness.
I adopt the pace of nature understanding that my healing happens not when I try to control its outcome, but when I have done the work and my frequency and vibration are in alignment with my intentions.
Because of the trauma I endured, I did not trust people, organizations, or those in power who were supposed to uphold the law and protect me from abuse. So I built a relationship with the divine and nature. For those who follow me on Instagram or Facebook, see my posts of all the divine messages and confirmations from nature I receive almost daily and sometimes numerous times a day. It always brings a smile on my face.
When appropriate, I seek help from other holistic practitioners.
As transition, I have been hearing messages addressing the theme of “forgiveness” as additional themes over the past week or so. So along with fear and love, forgiveness also seems to be playing a role especially for those trying to reclaim their power.
Last week, I posted a general message card to my Instagram and Facebook page where I talked about forgiveness. I saw this message as confirmation to what I am writing about here and I smiled. When I pulled the card, my shoulders suddenly relaxed, and I felt a huge a sigh.
Forgiveness is significant. All the work we have done so far is to prepare us for the hardest task … forgiveness.
If you are holding onto the pain or trauma or hurt someone may have caused you, the misconception is that forgiveness lets that person off the hook while you suffer. It does not. What happened to you is now in the past. What we do to ourselves as a result of trauma, is we keep the traumatic event or series of traumatic events alive and well in the present … the now. I have been trying to understand why we do this to ourselves and why do we imprison ourselves with very few answers. I believe a shift in perception allows us to see that when all we are doing is creating a pattern of self-destruction and self-imprisonment, then we can then implement change.
What forgiveness does is free ourselves from the chains that bind us. This in turn allows our hearts to receive self-love. We can not truly love another until we have fully learned this. I see this to be so true more than ever before now.
I am envisioning many of you who have experienced what many would call such egregious atrocious and unforgivable acts saying things like, “Why on earth would I forgive?”. We must let go of the need to control and need to be right and stay in the familiar. Being right usually does not change the outcome except create a prison stealing our lives. All this does is tie us to the story of the past, poisoning our present, and stealing our future.
Learning to forgive frees us. Wow, right now as I re-read that statement, I am envisioning the mighty power of hawk with a strap to it’s talon caught up in a tree stealing its flight, it’s ability to thrive and survive and ability to soar to great heights. Then, finally the hawk is snapping the strap breaking free from the tangled mess in the tree and lifting it up letting go of those burdens where it can now soar the skies once again and not only survive, but thrive.
Learning to forgive is one of our greatest spiritual lessons to truly understand. We have had lots of lessons, and transformations this year. The hardest person to forgive, but the most important is “self”. The Universe is calling on us once again. We have been given signs whether you are attuned and seeing them or not is irrelevant. There are those who have been called to help those who can not see.
It’s time to forgive and write a new chapter.
Free yourself from the past, past hurts, past mistakes, past traumas or the like.
So for the coming month, the eclipse season and mercury retrograde will be what we choose to perceive it to be. This is a very transformative time, and we can use these energies to help us in our path if we learn to work with them versus fight them. For once, try to master riding these waves of change and see the world from a whole new perspective. We can not control the size, shape, and velocity of the waves that come ashore. So why do we try to control the waves of life? It is time we learned to ride the waves and have fun learning to surf. Wow, I what a shift right there. Wouldn’t you agree? Did you feel that? I wrote about this last month in my post “Understanding the Cosmic Shifts”.
And since I have been writing about trauma, this is a grand time, to let the Universe help you right here, right now, in removing any and all obstacles from our mind and body so we may live a healthier and happier life. By the way, health is another theme arising too. So take time to listen to what the body tells you as it speaks to you 24/7. It is up to us whether or not we are listening.
The future is a blank slate. This is an opportunity to truly break free from those chains that bind you.
Are you willing? Are you ready?
I am wondering how many of you are glad to see July go. What a month we had. The Universe and our souls pushed our buttons to get us out of our comfort zones, challenged relationships, and forced us to face the things needing change so we may continue to evolve from the caterpillar to the emerging butterfly. Were you open to change or resistant?
If we are in a state of fear, how can we love? AND vice versa, if we are in a state of love, how can we fear? Learning the art of detachment from people, places, and things have also surfaced to allow for more soul growth.
We can not control the size, shape, and velocity of the waves that come ashore. So why do we try to control the waves of life? It is time we learned to ride the waves and have fun learning to surf. Wow, I what a shift right there. Wouldn’t you agree?
This is the lesson we are all faced with right now. Master riding the waves of change and you will see the world from a whole new perspective. Then watch everything else around you change like magic. Try it. What do you have to lose? What do you have to gain?
There is lots happening. Can you feel all the shifting energies? Over the last 30 days we have seen lots of prodding, shifting, and adjusting.
How’s your energy lately? If you’ve been feeling exhausted or having trouble sleeping, then you may be feeling the shift.
It’s amazing to me that no matter who I talk to about this topic, I am always reminded that these shifts can be a challenge no matter where you are at in your spiritual journey. After all we are all spiritual beings having a human experience, right?
So how is what we are feeling and experiencing being driven by the cosmos?
Well the planets were very active in all this shifting we are experiencing with 5 planets that are in retrograde in April. Now, I am no astrology expert, and I would say that I am far from that and rely on my astrology friends to help explain certain aspects. I am an energy healer and lightworker. Therefore, I can sense and feel subtle energy. What I do understand is energy and how it makes me feel and what common threads I see playing out around me and my environment. I have learned to understand over the years how planetary shifts also affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
So here are the five planets that are in retrograde in April 2016. On January 7th, Jupiter was the first planet to turn retrograde. This was followed by the planet Saturn on March 25th, Mars on April 17th, Pluto on April 18th, and finally Mercury goes retrograde on April 28th. WOW!
Here is a great explanation about retrogrades on findyourfate.com.“Astrologically, Retrogrades happen when planets, and the energy they represent, are too far out and need to come back in line with the Earth. This is when you need to slow down.”
From what I have witnessed over the past year and most importantly in recent months, our energy cores have been pushed to extremes, prodded, and forced to examine our inner selves and workings while questioning our own versions of realities. Most of the re-calibrating and shifting was bringing up lots of old karmic, childhood, traumas, etc that were kept deep in our base of our energy cores to be released as they no longer serve our highest good. Many of those I work with or have spoken to on this topic have experienced this, but thought they addressed these issues and ignored the need for release. This is not the time to ignore, but a time to kick these toxic energies out of our core.
We thought the year 2014 was a grand year for purging and letting go for what no longer serves us, but 2015 was sure a doozy and some may have called 2015 a sh*tstorm of a year. However, there were many lessons in 2015 that helped prepare us for the grand year of transformation in 2016 towards soul-fillment.
What I have felt since Mars and Pluto went retrograde is a shift of the clearing of our energy cores to the higher realms especially targeting the areas of the pineal gland which is a small pea-sized endocrine gland located near the center of the brain behind the cerebellum.
Physiologically speaking, the pineal gland is responsible for producing the hormone melatonin aka your biological on/off light switch for sleep functioning as well as regulating the body’s natural bio-rythems.
Spiritually speaking, the pineal gland is linked to the third eye and considered the most powerful area for ethereal energy.
Symptoms of an “awakening” of the pineal gland include:
pressure at the base of the brain
headaches
fatigue
sleep disturbances
However, as some are already feeling the affects of the planet mercury going retrograde, we must also consider all elements of communication too starting to affect us.
At the end of it all, this is all about personal growth. It is all how we choose to perceive the world around us. Some react to these retrogrades in a negative fashion, but there are positive aspects to them too. Again, it is all how we choose to view these experiences which are designed to help us evolve. This is a wonderful time period to go inward and do some introspection work. This will allow us to connect with the divine within and shine our light so we may follow.
The themes currently playing out that you need to be extra mindful and pay extra attention to include:
personal growth/expansion (Jupiter)
communication (Mercury)
love and relationships (Pluto)
emotions, but especially in areas of anger (Mars)
karma (Saturn)
slow down
the need for more self care
So, going into May, this is a GREAT time for many things such as:
SLOW DOWN
connecting with soul aka your inner child and building a partnership
a time for slowing down and contemplation
an opportunity to readjust, redo, reevaluate or fine tune things
to develop a love affair with self – not ego self, but the authentic true self
to relax and go with the ebbs and flows of the Universe
more self-care, self-compassion and nurturing
practice daily mindfulness via quantum breathing, meditation, reiki, yoga
handwritten journaling
May will be a month to slow down the pace. Do not force things. Go with the flow. This month and this year will serve as a great teacher for us all on how to truly embody patience and self-compassion while we continue on the path of self discovery and our authentic truth.
So for today, I choose not only to enjoy the ride, but the embrace everything my soul is guiding me towards. How about you?
With love and appreciation,
