The Little Girl from the Stars

There was once a little girl. This little girl came from the stars and all her life wondered why she was here on Earth instead of back home amongst the planets and moonbeams. One day she was at the depth of her despair.

“Why have you left me here?” she cried. “Why can’t you come and take me back home?”

She looked to the sky and begged someone to come and help her, to take her away from this place she so felt she didn’t belong in. At that moment a great flash of light appeared before her, and standing there in front of her was an angel.

“Hello,” said the little girl. “Who are you?”

“I am your angel, David” said the angel. “I’ve come to take you home.”

The little girl livened up and sprang to her feet. “You’ve come to take me home! I can’t believe it, I’ve asked and prayed for this moment! I was beginning to think you’d never come. I thought you had abandoned me.”

“You can never be abandoned,” said David, “for we are all always a part of you and you are a part of us, and thus you can never be separated from that which you are a part of.”

The little girl shrugged her shoulders and said, “Whatever. Separate, together, I don’t care. I just want to go home.”

David put out his arms and said, “Come here little one.”

The little girl went to him. He reached out and took her in his arms and held her.

“What does that feel like?” he asked.

“Well it feels great. I feel warm and safe.”

“What else do you feel?

“I feel loved and protected and looked after.”

“Do you feel at home?”

Of course, this feels exactly like home!”

With that David looked down at her. “Why do you think that is?”

The little girl looked up at him with a confused look. “Well, because you’re from there.”

“Guess again.”

The little girl looked at him even more confused. “Well, I don’t know why. You tell me.”

“It feels like home because it is home. You are home. You have never left home. You have only chosen to keep parts of home from your sight, from your senses. Home is all around you. It is within you. We are all here with you, just as you are here with us.”

The little girl blinked at him. “But the stars, I feel I’m from the stars?”

“And so you are, but you are also from here. You are from everywhere, it is all part of the same. You only miss the stars because you are remembering that part of you that has chosen to keep that part of home hidden. Now that it is becoming visible to you again do not mourn the part of home that you have missed, celebrate the part of it that you are re-discovering.

“But when do I get to see you all again? When do I get to be with my family again?”

“You can be with us anytime. You are with us all the time. Just look. Just listen. Just ask. We are here.”

With that, another flash of light and David disappeared from the little girl’s vision. ‘But he is still here’ she thought, ‘he must be, he said he was’.

With that the little girl lay in her bed and shut her eyes.

She had many dreams that night. She dreamed of faraway people and places and stars and planets and galaxies she had not been to in a long time. She dreamed of the past and of the future, and after all the dreaming she awoke remembering one thing. It’s all here now, it’s all happening now. We can’t perceive that yet, we can’t see that yet. But there it is. Now, what to do with that remembering?

Jack and the Golden Light


Once upon a time there was a man called Jack. Jack was a wonderful man with an amazing golden light inside him. He couldn't see that golden light nor did he know it was within him, but he knew it existed because he could feel it calling him. He knew it contained all the secrets he needed to know about who he really was, and why he was really here. It contained the key that would unlock the door to all that his heart desired, and all that his soul dreamed of. He knew that there was more to life than the reality he saw around him. He sensed there was another way to live, and he was determined to find this new way.
Jack knew that the golden light would help him, so he set upon a path to search for it. He came across many big scary monsters and dark forests, but still he kept going. He came across many wonderful people who all talked about this golden light, so it only made him want to find it even more.
            The closer he got to finding his light, the more intensely he felt his highest dreams and deepest fears.  His greatest fear was that his amazing dreams would not come to pass, were an illusion, or would leave once he received them.
            His worries made him doubt his heart’s knowing. What if it was all an illusion? What if the golden Light doesn't exist? What if dreams don’t come true? He questioned himself, “What if I am searching for nothing? Everyone in my old town says I should just get a normal job and that happily ever after soulmates only exist in fairy tales. What if they’re right?”
Jack was very confused and tired. He had come across yet another hill, and just didn’t know if had the strength to climb it only to be disappointed again. He sat down at the base with his head in his hands. What to do? As he sat there he saw a great shadow come down in front of him covering the hill. This shadow was Fear. It contained all the obstacles in the way of him getting up to the top of the hill and seeing once and for all what lay on the other side. It contained the parts of him that didn't trust his own innate inner knowing. It contained the parts of him that had followed his heart before and got hurt. It contained all the beliefs that said “You don't really deserve this. What will people say? What will they think? What if I'm making a mistake??” It contained much guilt and self-judgment.
Jack looked up at the Great Fear and knew he had come to a crossroads. A part of him felt it would be much easier to just turn back round and forget about the adventures calling him from the other side of the hill. Yet he had a nagging feeling inside. What if his visions were real? What if his feelings were true? What if his heart was right and was trying to point him in his right direction? What if he were but a few steps from his destiny? He looked up at the top of the hill once more. What if his feelings were wrong and it wasn't what he thought it would be? His mind was active as always. Yet the heart, the light heart, whispered, “But what if you are right? What if it is everything you ever imagined??”
At that moment, the great shadow that was Fear spoke to him. Fear said these words: “If you want what you desire, you have to go through me. You cannot get rid of me. You can only walk through me.”
            Jack was afraid. He said to Fear, “How can I walk through you? You are so big, and it is so dark in there. What if I get lost and never find my way out? And then I am neither here nor there!! I think you are a sign I should just stay right here!”
            Fear laughed. He knew the way through him but he would never tell Jack. He quite enjoyed the power he had over people.
            Thankfully, at that moment the great Sun came out. He carried the energy of Light and thought it was about time Jack got a message that he needed to hear. He said to Jack, “The way through the fear is to use your light.” Jack laughed, “Yeh I know, only problem is I'm having trouble finding it.” And the Sun laughed too, and he said, “Oh Jack, look inside you. The light is inside you. It is like a torch, shining so brightly. It is on right now, you only have to realize it.” Jack looked within and sure enough there was a great, shining light!! “How did I not see this before?”
 The Great Sun had a few words of wisdom. He said, “The way through the fear is to know that the light inside you will guide your way. You do not have to see the whole path in front of you. The light is just big enough for you to be able to see one or two steps ahead of you. And that's all the light you need. Take one step at a time, and the light will keep guiding you until you have gone the whole way through fear, and then you will find yourself at the top of the hill and see what wondrous things there are to see.”
So, Jack had a choice. To embark on this great journey through fear, knowing he had his trusty light inside him that could never be dimmed, and never go out, knowing that the journey through fear wouldn't take very long at all. Once Fear knows you are walking through it, it loses its challenge and the shadow starts dissipating. Fear will then leave, looking for someone else to cast a shadow over. Fear is only as big as the power we give it. Jack also had a choice to not walk through Fear. But he didn't come here to Earth to let fear get the better of him.
            So he called upon all his ancestors and guides, and he asked “Please be with me as I walk through fear.” For fear is something you have to walk through on your own, yet you do not have to be all alone. And you are not.
            He started to make the journey, and he must admit he was still a little scared. But something else started to stir inside him. Excitement. Adrenalin. The energy within him that was a spiritual warrior started to get activated. With each step he started to believe in himself more and more. “I can do this,” he thought. “I can do this!!” As he started walking faster, Fear was not happy and started taunting him more and more, telling him how stupid and wrong he was, telling him there'd be nothing but trouble waiting for him once he got over that hill. But Jack was no longer under the grip of fear. His inner light was glowing brightly now, it was carrying him faster and faster up the hill. His guides and ancestors were with him every step of the way, encouraging him, “You can do it, you can do it!”
As he ran faster a strange thing happened, wings started sprouting out of his shoulders!! He was running so fast now his feet almost weren't touching the ground! Then all of a sudden, wooshka, he was flying!! He couldn't believe it!! He was soaring in the air like a bird!! He felt so free, so exhilarated, so liberated. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world!
            Fear was left behind, arms folded, “Grrr another one got away.” Yet secretly, Fear was smiling and happy for Jack. Not many people knew this about Fear but he actually existed to push people to their full potential. With every liberation, with every pair of wings sprouted, Fear gave himself a pat on the back. “Yeh, I did that,” he tells himself. The Sun always rolls his eyes. Everyone knew how great the Ego of Fear was. But they indulged him. For where would we be without him? How could anyone know the extent of their courage, their strength, their faith, their trust and belief in themselves, if it were not for Fear blocking their way forcing them then to go within and find their Light.
            As Jack soared across the skies, he looked down and thought, “Well, here goes, now is the time I get to find out what it was all for.” He looked down and his heart leapt with joy and sighed with relief. There was an amazing kingdom! It contained his dream cozy home, tools galore to create whatever else he wanted, many like-minded kindred spirits already busily creating their part of this amazing new reality, and there in the centre of the meadow was a beautiful princess, waiting for him, waving her arms, saying “Hurry hurry, come down, there is so much to do!”  He soared around the sky a couple more times, before swooping down to her. “How did you get here?” he asked. “How did you know to meet me here?” The princess smiled and said, “Because I have what you always have had, the inner light that told me which way to go.”
            Jack and his beloved princess spent their days having so much fun and adventure. They traveled to many lands. They shared their story with many people. They told everyone, “Just like we have a light, you have one too. Look within, it is there, and it will guide you.” All was well in their world, and they lived happily ever after.

Soul Session Changes: New Mini Sessions and Price Changes

In conjunction with today's New Moon Solar Eclipse and the start of a brand new financial year here in Australia, I am launching a couple of changes to the Soul Sessions.

New Mini Sessions: Sometimes we only have a short question or want to do a 'tune up' to keep us on track. Mini Sessions are also great when you want to do a quick follow up to a previous session, but don't necessarily need another full hour. Half the time of a regular Session, they are also half the price! More Info: http://www.danamrkich.com/readings/index.html

Price Changes: After many years of remaining the same, Soul Session prices will be changing today. You will have more options ranging from In Person, Phone, Skype and Email Sessions available as both Full Regular Sessions, and Mini Sessions. For more details, FAQ and price structures, please go here: http://www.danamrkich.com/readings/index.html

July 2011 Monthly Visions: You are your New (True) Self - Act Accordingly!

Welcome to the Solar Eclipse in Cancer today, the third of a super powerful, mega-shifting eclipse series! Right about now you are likely feeling very clear around where you are still under-estimating, under-valuing and under-caring for yourself.  If you aren't sure that you're very clear at all, take a look around at the kinds of things that have been going on in your life these past few weeks, including this week. Read Rest Here: http://danamrkich.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-2011-monthly-visions-you-are-your.html

June 21 Solstice, Solar Flare and Halo CME
(Spontaneous messages are often posted on my Facebook page, as was this one below. To read them before the next newsletter join up here: www.facebook.com/danamrkichnews)

The solstice energies on June 21 2011 were super intense with a solar flare and 'full halo' CME occurring... We are feeling full of electrical energy that may have nowhere to go, thus short-circuiting via irritable temper snaps, mood swings and all manner of frustrations cropping up out of nowhere. Road-blocks, delays, crazy weather and strange things occurring during your night-time sleep state (unexpected astral travel, intense dreams) are some of the manifestations occurring as what feels like a huge helium balloon of energy tries to fit itself into a much smaller pipe!

Baby News!

Christian and I are both thrilled to let you know that we are expecting our first baby, due in November! We are so excited to be bringing a little one into the world, and are so looking forward to be moving into our new chapter as parents.

At this stage, I am planning to continue sessions up until October 28, 2011 and then take a few months off to enjoy being a new mum!

Have a joyous July!

Love Dana xo

July 2011 Monthly Visions: You are your New (True) Self – Act Accordingly!



Welcome to the Solar Eclipse in Cancer today, the third of a super powerful, mega-shifting eclipse series! Right about now you are likely feeling very clear around where you are still under-estimating, under-valuing and under-caring for yourself.  If you aren’t sure that you’re very clear at all, take a look around at the kinds of things that have been going on in your life these past few weeks, including this week. The energies are being quite ruthless in getting the message across. If you are trying to hold onto old ‘not good enough’, ‘I can’t do it on my own’, ‘I’m not worthy’ patterns, if you are doing the ‘poor me’, if you are putting the needs of others ahead of your own authentic soul needs, then your own fabulous soul is not hesitating to give you a little (or big) slap! This can come as a physical body manifestation - a pain in the neck, burning your fingers or other body part accidentally or tripping over something – or a plan backfires or some situation has quite the unpleasant outcome. It is the universe lovingly yet very clearly shouting to you, hellooooo, remove yourself from this situation, or remove those old issues from your new (true) self, they are not serving you any more at all. Your soul is not taking a back seat anymore, and any attempt on your part to squish yourself back into the back seat, or into someone else’s driver’s seat for that matter, is not going to have a happy outcome!
            Why the ruthlessness? Well it is sometimes not comfortable to be true to our authentic self because it comes with ‘what will people think?’, ‘am I going to upset someone?’, ‘what if I fail?’ and numerous other doubt-ridden and guilt-ridden beliefs. So, there comes a time when our soul has to make it more uncomfortable to stay in our false self, than it is for us to be true to our authentic self. It’s a bit of tough love, all for a good cause. Sometimes it takes that ouchy moment to realise that we’ve been ignoring our authentic needs, or even to simply realise what those needs are! With this eclipse in Cancer it’s all about acknowledging your needs and acknowledging your value. Just like we sometimes need a wake up call to realise our needs, we very often need one to realise our value!! Do you realise how far you’ve come? Do you realise what you have to offer? Do you realise that you are not who you were 5 or 10 or 20 years ago or even 1 year ago? Do you realise that you are MORE than you realise?
            Certain situations you may have tolerated for years, are suddenly no longer tolerable for one minute more. Old patterns stemming from childhood wounds that you perhaps have taken 30 years to overcome may have flared up again this week, if only for a few minutes or hours or days, to double check: are you over this? Have you resolved this? Of course you have! We just wanted to make sure you knew! Congratulations! Now what are you doing with your new (true) self?
            Aahh, this is the question of the day. What are you doing with your new (true) self? Really what we’re asking here is, do you realise yet 100% that you ARE your new (true) self and are you acting accordingly?
            When we have spent years with a certain self-perception, interestingly enough we often continue to live life with the cloak of that self-perception over us influencing us, even long after we have technically dealt with the cloak! This is why sometimes our external reality doesn’t yet match who we feel ourselves to be, and we can’t work out why because we know we’ve done all the work! We may have dealt with our self-value issues for years, and figure we are surely over it by now! Meanwhile we are still living with situations, or attracting scenarios, that don’t exactly match our ‘healthy self-value’ idea of ourselves. It isn’t that you haven’t dealt with the issues properly, it may just be that you simply forgot to ‘act accordingly’! Your energy has shifted, but your physical self is still hanging out on the old movie set! In that case, it is not about having another healing session or doing more inner work, it is more about literally, physically moving and taking action.  This might mean literally moving house, leaving a partner or job, saying no next time your same ole same ole pattern shows up in a person or invitation, taking the next step with your business that you have been too scared to take, booking that trip. 
            This Solar Eclipse in Cancer is highlighting our boundaries, or lack of.  If a pattern shows up in your face again it doesn’t necessarily mean ‘Oh no I must not have dealt with that properly yet!’ A pattern always shows up one last time, in a big way, for you to confront it once and for all, and say ‘NO!”. No to being used, no to being steamrolled over, no to accepting less than you are worth, no to forgetting who you really are and YES to your Self!!  The word No can often be the most powerful final full stop to a lifetime pattern that has well and truly served it’s purpose.  In saying No to what is no longer true for you, you say Yes to your authentic self and path, and that opens up doors you have long been dreaming of.
You can have a million healings, but at the end of the day for what purpose? Yes we all want to achieve higher states of self-awareness and inner peace, but again, for what purpose? If it was just about enlightenment for enlightenment’s sake, we could have stayed in some higher realm vibration and been nothing but light! We are here on Earth to take an amazing evolutionary step, to step into our authentic selves consciously, and then consciously create our reality here in the physical.  Self-awareness is all well and good (and necessary) but at a certain point we have to ask ourselves are we putting all this self-awareness into practice? Are we embodying it in our daily lives? Are we using it to create a greater, more expansive reality for ourselves and contributing to the greater reality of humanity?
Take a look around your life. How do you feel about all the aspects of your life? Health? Relationships? Work? Finances? Family? Friends? Home? Does your experience of these aspects match who you truly feel yourself to be? This doesn’t mean you need a million dollars sitting in the bank. We can have a poverty mentality with millions, or a wealth mentality with one dollar. We can be living in a 10 bedroom mansion and feel miserable. We can live in a small log cabin feeling happy as Larry. This question isn’t asking have you created a super fabulous life that would look great on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, it is asking have you created a super fabulous life that feels great to you?
Over these past few weeks you have hopefully emerged with a much greater realisation around where you have still been holding on to old ancestral and cellular stories about yourself, that are just not true for you! You may have resolved your abundance issues that came from your Depression-era grandparents, yet are still scraping together your pennies when bills come in, because part of your energy is still acting as if you have that cloak on!  If this is the case, one or more areas of your life will be showing you this very clearly. Look at that area, close your eyes and imagine how you would ideally like it to look. Next, ask to be shown: what do I need to do right now to let that in/create that? Part of the answer may be inner-related, which is fine. Yet if so, ask again: what is the action step I am avoiding? Why am I avoiding it? When you get your answer, confront it. Is it really true for you? If your answer is lack or fear or doubt related, it certainly is not true on your most authentic level. Know that.  Is it part of an old cloak/belief? What if you acted like it just wasn’t true? What would you do? What freedom would that give you?
            For those who are on my Facebook page, you would have read the following Lunar Eclipse message there, but it is worth repeating here: “What illusion has been holding you back from Freedom? A belief you are not worthy, not powerful or not abundant? Today let go of the "not" that has become the "knot" blocking the flow of who you really are. Today it's less about acting as if you are already worthy, powerful and abundant, and more about letting go of acting as if you are not!”
             That Lunar Eclipse was so powerful because it was in alignment with the Galactic Centre, and it is our Earth’s and Sun’s alignment with the Galactic Centre that is triggering our major evolutionary Shift.  So, the message of it is relevant not only for that day, but generally relevant for this entire time period as we move into the next 18 months or so. The current Eclipse series highlighted this message from several different angles, supporting us in a heightened and accelerated way to finally, really truly get this.
            This is greater than a once in a lifetime opportunity – it is a once in 26,000 year opportunity to use the Galactic Centre energies as a force propelling us to become self-aware, conscious creators on the magnificent physical plane of Planet Earth.  Turn your light on to full, because having it on dim is so old reality:)
