Lunar Eclipse: We are the flash of light we have been waiting for



 
Depending on which source of alternative media you may have come across over the past few months, increasing in crescendo the past few days, the world was supposed to end the other day (again), or we are about to ascend as a planet into a whole new level of consciousness tomorrow during the Lunar Eclipse, after which the New Earth 'officially' begins. Wow 'officially'! Wow, tomorrow!

I'm the first to love, and talk about, a good old heightened, even pivotal moment in this progressive, constant, evolutionary journey we are all on. There is no doubt whatsoever that any and every astrological alignment and solar flare adds power to the waves of consciousness that are pouring onto this planet right now - waves that are only going to increase in strength for the forseeable future.

What has my bee in a bonnet are these 'this is THE date' predictions, either foretelling the official 'end of the world' or official 'beginning of the world.' They trigger false fear and false hope, and then when those dates pass a lot of people are left feeling deflated, or justified in their 'told ya so'. What an excellent strategy to make people give up on feeling anything is ever going to change. What an excellent tactic to make people feel that all this talk of energy is a load of crap.

I wrote a lot about the end of 2012 in the decade preceding it, in the context of it being the end of a cycle, and beginning of a new cycle. Not an end of world, and not an overnight new one either. A turning point. A crossroads. An opportunity for us to collectively get together in the ethers as we slept at night and decide: which way are we going to go? We had to decide this collectively as a humanity for our continuing existence on this planet, and we have all had to decide this personally as individuals on this planet.

There was a lot of hoopla about that date online, and some feel that is all that it was - created hoopla. Yet, talk to a Mayan elder, as we have had the much appreciated opportunities to do, and their knowing around this time period goes back a lot further than the internet, further back than the creation of computers, television, movies, and books. For them it was never about hoopla, and it was never even truly about that date. They focus on the bigger picture, the big story that was, and the new story we are in now and growing into.

There is a definite difference between when your child is pre 18, and turns 18. Child one minute, adult the next. But you don't go to bed on the eve of their 18th birthday with them looking and sounding one way, and then wake up on their 18th birthday saying "Woah!!! Look at you!" They still look the same, but in your heart you know something has shifted, and it's been shifting for some time - and it will continue shifting more and more every day the further they progress into their adult, autonomous lives.

On one level we need dates. We need big momentous hoopla occasions to mark the close of one chapter, and honour the beginning of another. But when those dates don't deliver what they apparently promised, or provide what we expected, what do we do?? Apparently, if one is to read some of the alternative media articles out there, one simply keeps moving the finishing line. This is kind of the equivalent of saying "Well not much happened that first day of Johnny's 18th. Maybe he didn't really turn 18? Hmm, maybe I got the date wrong? How about we celebrate it next spring and maybe the dramatic change will happen then!"

False fear is an excellent distraction, keeping people worried about what terrible things might be in store.

False hope that an instant or overnight saviour is going to come is an excellent distraction, making sure we keep our power at arm's length, keeping us slightly passive, making sure we don't do too much to play an active role in the physical, tangible creation of a healthier, happier, more conscious and harmonious world.

Some of this false fear and false hope is delivered unintentionally,. However, a lot of it is being generated intentionally and deliberately, both directly by those who seek to keep humanity in shackles, and indirectly, influencing our thoughts, emotions and behaviour in multiple ways so that we essentially keep our own selves shackled.

As this crazy part of our evolutionary journey reaches new vibrational highs with each new day - triggering the release of yet more density, resistance and power struggles, it is so important to know how to connect to that quiet place within and get to know what the following feel like for you:

- 'This is true for me',
- 'This is not true for me',
- 'This feels good for me to do' and
- 'This doesn't feel good for me to do'

Practice with little things that are easy...eg you know that "I love my child more than anything' is true for you. Okay, so get to know from that feeling how 'this feels true for me' feels like in your body. How do your muscles feel? What happens to your heart beat? How does your breathing change? What about your facial expression? Your eye sparkle?

If certain decisions give you a knot in your stomach at the thought of doing something, either the action isn't right for you, or your thought about it isn't right for you. Try changing your thought to a more positive one. If the knot lightens, great, the thought was merely based in fear. If however the knot tightens, it is your body saying "mind, stop trying to coerce me, this action just isn't good for us!"

The exercise above is added here because there is a lot of stuff flying around online these days in both mainstream and alternative news media. Even if you stay away from reading any sort of news or articles, we sometimes can't avoid it - things show up on our news feeds or as we are browsing some other site.

This is what feels true for me right now: Humanity is shifting and awakening, happening to more people, more rapidly every day. Change and transformation are happening as more and more of us experience constant 'vibrational upgrades' and heart openings, that trigger everything from making healthier choices about what to eat, where to live, what kind of relationships we want around us, and what we feel called to do in terms of work and purpose, to growing awareness about the many aspects of our global systems that have worked against people and planet for a very long time, to the increasing tide turning toward demanding a new kind of reality in every life area, and going about the business of creating it, doing it, living it, embodying it. It is not about waiting for a saviour or so called 'the event', it is about living the new reality right now, as much as you can, in every way you can, in whatever ways you personally feel called to do. As you live and embody your own piece of the puzzle, it inspires people around you to live their own piece of the puzzle.

This sounds all too gradual and tedious, and yep it has been BUT as greater numbers awaken, and as the energies accelerate, the process accelerates. That is, in the past 1 person affected 10, who go on to affect 100. Nowadays, 100,000 are affecting 1 million, who go on to affect 10 million. Quantum leaps. Critical mass. We are the flash of light from the sky we have been waiting for. And if there is one 'big event' of spectacular beyond our comprehension light waiting for us, then woohoo, bring it on, but in the meantime speculating about dates is diverting our energy from the reality that a MASSIVE amount of light is here right now, more this week than last, and more coming tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that and so on. And you, yes you, are here to DO something with that light, mainly BE who you really are.

Consciousness goes hand in hand with awareness, and so not all of what we are seeing is appearing as 'positive'. We are seeing millenia old corruption and deceit coming out from under the carpet. We are seeing the death throes of old reality ego fighting to hold on to his reign - within us, and thus of course displayed on the world stage because all systems (politics, banking, business, media etc) are ultimately made up of people, all of whom have light surging through them while simultaneously to lesser or greater degrees have the old energy battling to retain power and control. This yuckiness is not a sign that consciousness is not increasing on this planet. It is in fact one of the biggest signs that it is, as all that has existed is now being revealed for all to see. Transparency. Authenticity. Like it or not, ready or not, the good, the bad and the ugly are being made visible. We are all being confronted with all of it.

What feels true and good for me in this moment may be different to what feels true and good for you. Don't let this, or anything you read, distract you from the compass of your own soul. Everything we read, that is read with discernment from a centred, quiet place within, has the opportunity to bring us closer to our own truth. It can contain nuggets of insight that make us feel, yeh, I resonate with that. Or it can contain stuff that makes us feel, wow, I so don't resonate - which just helps us to strengthen our own inner knowing whatever that may be.

So...may this Lunar Eclipse bring you wonderful insights, healing and positive shifts. May it release more of who you are not, and let in more of who you are. But as the Zen saying goes..Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. The day after the Lunar Eclipse will come, and when you wake up and the world is still turning with all its beauty and yet with still so much pain and ugliness, put on your Star Trooper boots and get to work. Plant some seeds. Spread some love. Refuse to buy into the belief that we are beyond repair, or that the Shift you came here to be part of will never manifest in the way you believed it would. It will, and it is. Play your part. The time is now.

How are you all feeling?

2015 Energy Report



2015 Energy Report 
Written Version below. 

Video version includes extra Commentary 



This is by far the most complex energy report I have written in the 8 years of writing them.  In previous years it has been much easier to tune in to our overall collective energy. The wave of ‘awake souls’ were all going through similar processes, the ‘old reality society’ was trucking along relatively predictably, while the elite was trying to hold onto its power structure wherever it felt vulnerable.
            Now however when sitting down to write this, instead of feeling the energy of very distinct groups, I get the vision of billions of ants on a timeline along with the corresponding billions of vibrations!  Some are moving forward with purpose, carrying supplies on their backs, very clear on what they need to do next. Others are stuck in a traffic jam, not able to go back, but not yet knowing quite how to move forward or in some cases it is simply not yet time. Some are moving back and forth between realities, spending time in the new, dropping back into the old, then recharging in the new again. 
Others are reclining in a hammock over the bridge (will talk about the bridge later on in this report), feeling retired from worker bee/light ‘worker’ life, ready for what their new retirement phase brings them. Much like the life of any worker, the retirement phase for many of you in this category will be busier in a good way if you want that, more restful and flowing, more fun and fulfilling than your preceding years.
            With time being what it is these days (accelerated and increasingly irrelevant), you may find yourself resonating with one of the above groups one minute, and then thrust into another the next. As I always say, our evolutionary journey is a spiral not a straight line. This concept seems to be on fast forward right now. So your pathway may feel more like a dizzy rollercoaster as you go higher and deeper, higher and deeper, faster and faster!
            That said – see, it’s a complex and contradictory report! – it is getting easier to cruise along in neutral, feeling centred, taking a philosophical approach to whatever is going on around us and within us. It is emotionally exhausting to flip from high high’s to low low’s constantly, and so I highly encourage you to shift to your centre as often as possible, especially when it all feels a bit much.

 You can do this by:

-          Focusing on your breath, deeply inhaling and exhaling

-          Spending a few minutes in meditation, just closing your eyes and letting thoughts go


-          Consciously moving up the scale of emotions along the lines of the Abraham Hicks teachings. That is, if you feel angry, change your focus to ask yourself what is it you are so passionate about that is triggering you? If you feel yourself focusing on what you are lacking, think of something in your life that you appreciate

With energetic and emotional sensitivity at an all-time high, and increasing daily, you will feel your current vibrational GPS location more acutely. When you are thinking and acting in alignment with your heart and soul, you will feel greater clarity, increased calm, more joy, deeper appreciation and gratitude – regardless of external circumstances. Life takes on a magical feel, with synchronicities and responses to your divine requests happening rapidly. Even in the moments where you feel sad, when aligned you will also feel the immense presence of love within you and all around you, supporting you forward.
When your thoughts and actions are going against the grain of your heart and soul, instead of feeling love amidst any sadness, you tend to more feel the unbearable separation of loss.  Any heart heaviness feels extra suffocating. The body tenses up, adrenals go into overdrive, physical health issues manifest and stress levels skyrocket.
Our acute sensitivity is one reason why many people are finding these times extremely difficult on a physical body and emotional level. Once upon a time we could get away with thinking sabotaging thoughts. Well, on a soul level we weren’t really getting away with anything, but physically and emotionally our thoughts didn’t catch up with us at the speed with which they are now. We could (kind of) get away with a job or relationship that wasn’t right for us. Now, we no longer have that indulgence.
Our evolutionary impulse is to grow. We are all like beacons set to a timer that has gone off, alerting our energy that it is grow time. Anything not in alignment with who we really are, will come up for transformation or release, you can count on it. It used to come up in a subtle way, and the process once upon a time took years (lifetimes even). Now, it is direct, in your face, and when we insist on not paying attention or ignoring the signs to evolve, the process will be downright painful because sometimes that is the only thing that will get our attention!
Many of you have released and released until it feels there can surely be nothing left. And when it comes to the past, yes you may have released the bulk of it in which case congratulations! You may even have graduated from the Karmic wheel, woohoo! Yet, our souls are calling for nothing less than absolute impeccability, authenticity and integrity in this new cycle. Our souls are calling now for the embodiment, in the physical, of our highest truth, knowing and consciousness. How are your thoughts in each moment of every day? How are your actions? Are you following through with your soul’s inner nudges when it comes to your daily goings on? These days, when you are in alignment with your soul nothing feels better. And these days, when you are out of alignment nothing feels worse.
The good thing about these new energies is: it is easier to be in alignment than out of it. Good feelings and thoughts are natural to our soul, and the more access we have to this higher frequency energy that is now available to us in this new cycle, the more naturally we gravitate to BEING who we really are. Look at the responses to recent events like the Sydney Lindt Café hostage situation*, and the Paris cartoonists murders*. In the wake of each of these events, it created a grassroots uprising of positive intention with the respective #illridewithyou and #jesuischarlie tags. Where years ago the primary response would have been anger, as well as fear, the primary responses with these events have been a desire for unity, connection and peace.  What a telling confirmation of where the mainstream collective is at now, compared to five or ten years ago.

*Yes I know that much of what we are seeing now are false flag events orchestrated by TPTB. There is plenty of info out there if you want to read about things from that angle in more detail. While I provide social commentary on certain events and issues as I am passionate about the truth coming out, my primary job is to focus on things from an energetic perspective. It is what most naturally flows through me when I write. I welcome comments and discussion however if you have information to share as people can only benefit from having access to all the angles involved at this critical time.  

Evolutionary Cycle Overview
We have emerged from a very challenging yet deeply consciousness-expanding two year period, with 2013-14 feeling to have been a transition point between two major transitional periods.
            Evolutionary cycles are cycles within cycles within cycles, each marking significant transformational and turning points for planets, for life, for growth, for the Energy Collective of which we are all a part. One of the most recent cycles within a cycle was the 25 year period starting from Harmonic Convergence 16-17 August 1987, through to 21 December 2012. 
Multiple wisdom traditions and prophecies including the Tibetan Kalachakra, the Mayan and Aztec Calendars, and the Cherokee Calendar Wheel, all calculated periods of time that converged on 16-17 August 1987.
All spoke of a 25 year period from that date, seen as a Purification, Transitional or Crossroads Time between ‘Worlds’, culminating at the end of 2012. They all used their own words and language, yet all foresaw a new ‘world’ emerging after this time.
Take a moment to think about the profoundness of this for a moment. Different people from different cultures from different time periods, were all pointing to the same period of time hundreds, in some cases thousands of years into their future. All of them shared a similar message about what this time would mean for Earth and all beings living on her.
A Mayan elder explained to us that ‘new world’ in the context of the prophecies refers to ‘new cycle’.  Cycles and transitional times generally don’t start or end with a bang, (although there are many collectively-generated global/community meditations and events created to honour these important dates) – and if we look for naturally occurring monumental events on those specific days as proof that a new cycle has started or finished, we will likely be disappointed. The dates mark gateways and doorways, ushering in new energies and opportunities, leaving behind the old.
We are living in the midst of the great shift right now, and we don’t often realise how profoundly reality is changing when we are in the middle of change. It is only in hindsight that we say “Oh wow, look at how everything has changed!” 
More people are awake now seeking to remember who they are and live how they came here to live. More like-minds are gathering online and in the streets, dismantling the old and standing up for truth, peace, equality and fairness. This is creating momentum, and we are creating a new reality here on Earth for future generations. 
This is not to say that a monumental event won’t happen at some point. Too many of us can feel something big up ahead for it not to happen. However, no-one can say what it is for sure, and no-one can give a date.
I think the biggest global perspective shift will come when we know we are not alone in this universe. While that perspective shift has happened already for millions around the world, there is still this inner knowing that the ‘big thing’ we all came here to be a part of hasn’t quite unfolded yet.
We don’t need to wait for any big event in order to create change – we can view it as an added bonus that may come along to give us a big powerful booster shot of evolutionary assistance. In the meantime we are continually receiving plenty of mini booster shots in the form of solar flares, incoming high frequency energy and astrological formations which I and other writers cover regularly.

1987-2012
The time of 16-17 August 1987 through to 21 December 2012, marked a period of time during which many ‘First Wave’ and ‘Second Wave’ starseeds/souls (as named by Dolores Cannon among others) experienced their awakening, and/or remembered ‘Phase 1’ of their purpose which for many has predominantly been about:

-          Helping awaken as many as possible ‘by a certain time’
-          Assisting people to get over the bridge ‘by a certain time’
(Many of us received the above inner knowings, even before consciously realising what the bridge was, where it was going to or from, or when the ‘certain time’ actually was!)
-          Raising the vibration here, whether simply by your presence and natural day to day energetic offering, or by being actively called into a healing/service-oriented role
-          Grounding the incoming high frequency energy that was coming in increasing amounts during this 25 year time period. Acting kind of like receiving rods for the light
-          Helping others understand what was going on when it started to become obvious ‘something ’ was going on

During this time period, many ‘Third Wave’ starseeds/souls were able to be born, ready to step into leadership roles for our emerging New World.  They have arrived knowing who they are, and quite rightly, will not take direction from an outdated system. They are here to show us a new way of living and being, and have come armed with practical knowledge, skills and talents.
            The end of 2012 came and went without a bang, leaving many feeling disappointed and disillusioned. Yet around us personally and globally the signs were everywhere that things were shifting, and that people were awakening. From the higher perspective, things were and are on track. From a human perspective, it felt like things couldn’t have been going more slowly!

2013-14
The past two years feel a lot easier to understand from the perspective of Now, with 2015 ushering in a completely new energy.  
For those who had the set mission to ‘get as many people as possible over the bridge’ it feels like we now have greater access to the other side of that bridge and you may find yourself wanting to spend more time on this side, as opposed to hanging out bridge side.
For some, hanging out on the bridge is no longer an option. Being connected to the bridge as we were, we were able to tap into dual realities: the denser 3D and the higher 5D.  Initially this was okay, however the more that time went on, the harder it was to maintain that connection with the denser reality. Our bodies increasingly reacted with physical symptoms whenever we veered too much into old reality paradigms, thoughts and actions. Yet, it wasn’t yet time to completely let go and jump with all our bodies into a new paradigm.
2013-14 was a strange in limbo void time in many ways, for many of us in the above category. Our old contracts were over, expiring at the end of 2012. However our new paths were not fully ready yet. It was kind of like having our nose pressed up against the glass of the new reality, while behind us the bridge’s conveyor belt kept moving, bunching up a multitude of old issues that we thought had long ago ceased to be relevant for us.
I wrote about the process of being ‘squeezified and juicified’ a year ago. This is how this time has felt, refining us and refining us, clearing out any last remnants of old ways of being prior to our shift into a new phase.  You may have felt yourself regressing with issues from 10-15 years ago, or that corresponded to a time during or prior to your initial awakening. The message coming through is that during the 1987-2012 cycle, once we had dealt with many of our personal issues, we were allowed to spend the remainder of that cycle primarily helping others. So for many years up until 2012 you may have felt “Woohoo, I’ve graduated, my job is just now to help others and wait for the new reality to roll along!”
However what happened is post 2012 we ended up in this strange ‘transition’ time, where the expiring old reality was bumping up against the emerging new one – with us feeling a tad squashed in between. As we bunkered down among the folds of time squashing up around us, we were confronted by remnants of every issue we had ever had. As hard as this was to endure, it ensured that once we finally popped out the other side – as we have now – we would emerge as clean and clear as possible without old baggage.

2015
For some people, the energy of 2015 feels like we are being shot like rockets into completely new territory, moving further in just a few days than it feels we have moved in the past two years!
For those who have felt their noses nudged up against the glass wall of a new reality, something most definitely changed when we stepped across into January 1 2015. It feels like suddenly we have greater access to a new field. Picture a gigantic meadow that we can’t see the end of. Potential is limitless here, our connection to our higher consciousness is greater and more clear here. We feel lighter here. It is really hard to think old thoughts here. It feels foreign to judge people here. Old issues feel like they are irrelevant here.  Old and new dreams suddenly feel more possible here. Connections and synchronicities happen more frequently here. Manifesting with your thoughts and energy is the norm here.
If you are yet to experience this new field, you will soon. It is here and available.  It is not so much what we need to do to open up to it, it is more that we need to stop doing what we do that closes us off from it! Old negative thoughts, worries and doubts take us out of our centre and eject us from this higher vibration. Focusing on your breath, focusing on what you appreciate and doing what you love with those you love gets your mind out of the way, helping you to ‘let in’ this field that is already all around you and within you.
Where delays and procrastination have seemed the name of the game for all too long, the last few days of 2014 had a strong 'hurry up and clean house' energy on every level. I found myself re-organising rooms, putting things in storage, and cleaning like crazy! Others have reported feeling the need to shed and let go of old attachments and other manifestations of old energy once and for all in those last days.
Now, on one hand this is normal for the lead up to NYE. What felt different however was the push behind the releasing, and that was this massively increased READINESS for the new. Actually, readiness aside, it is more like a timer went off and after some years of feeling a kind of in limbo energy we were all told that it was finally GREEN GO TIME!
As we know, clearing out the old - whether physically, mentally, emotionally or energetically - creates space for the new, and sure enough with January 1 came new clarity, new energy, and a new forward momentum around who we really are, what we came here to do, and what we want to create at this time in our lives. This has come by way of intuitive nudges, clear visions, external messages, and inspired action steps that are piece by piece guiding the way forward. This push forward will continue all year, and if it hasn't started yet for you then say: "I am ready to move forward, show me the way."
‘Push’ feels like the wrong word to use, because the experience feels much more organic and flowing than the masculine-style of ‘push’ we are used to. We are being pushed along as a river pushes along a leaf, being taken to where we need to go, and encountering synchronicities when we need them. Our guidance will come from the heart, and we will feel compelled to live with authenticity and integrity to a greater degree than ever before.
The thing with this year though is we have to actually step forward. We need to take action when guided. We need to follow through when we get that strong feeling to start doing this, or stop doing that. It is time to show up for our selves, for our dreams, and for the reality we are here to create.
The clarity we are receiving isn't coming in the form of a detailed manual explaining your purpose  It is coming by way of those inner nudges and external reminders that are repeating strong messages to us on a daily basis.
Some of you feel more crappy than happy in this New Year. I want to talk about that because when one is feeling low, happiness and all this talk about 'forward momentum' can make you feel even lower, isolated and questioning what is 'wrong' with you.
It takes a lot of courage to feel ones feelings, and to express them. Nothing is wrong with having feelings, no matter what they are. Feelings are messengers. We can talk to them, and receive guidance from them. Journal with Doubting Dave, Sad Sarah, or Unmotivated Uma. You will surprise yourself with what comes through.
Many sensitive, awake people are so attuned on an inner level to energy that it is easy to feel down more than up at times. Feelings are felt more acutely - not just ours, but those of the collective. We are also finely tuned to what our reality on a higher dimension is like, and so anything involving a lower density - fears, doubts, worries, feeling not good enough etc - is absolutely suffocating. Especially now. Especially as we enter more and more higher vibrational energy here on Earth.
Remember the downs will feel denser and denser, while the ups will feel lighter and lighter. I am not one to discount anyone’s feelings, you are entitled to feel what you feel. However, be discerning and know that our soul priority right now is on our alignment. Our soul’s natural energy is of a higher, not lower, vibration, and so this tells us that our natural tendency is to feel good rather than not. If you are feeling not good more than good, pay attention to what is going on within you or around you. Think of it this way: we are allergic now to that which is toxic for us. This means we are being called to change many of our lifestyle habits from what we view on television, what we browse online, what we eat and drink, who we associate with, and what we do with our days. We are similarly allergic to old thought patterns. They can literally make us sick – emotionally and physically.
Are you genuinely needing to feel/express a lower vibrational emotion? If so, try to find a healthy outlet for it. Journal. Artwork it out. See a healing practitioner if it is ongoing/regular. Or are you stuck in an emotional habit, feeling the energy of the collective, or feeling someone’s energy you picked up at work or at the store that day? It sounds like a cliche, but I highly recommend starting either a daily Happiness Jar or Gratitude Journal. It gets you on the 'upswing' at least once every 24 hours, rather than sinking in the down.
Just know everyone has their moments, and I try to honestly share about the downs as well as the ups yet I will keep on urging you – as I am urged by upstairs – to keep your vibrations high this year.  We have not had a year like this yet.  We have access to a new frequency, and it feels like this is just the beginning of what is a very, very wide field of new consciousness. Manifesting will happen faster so again, it is imperative that you pay attention to your thoughts!
We will see more false flag events as the old elite attempt to keep us dumbed down, distracted and in fear, yet the heartening thing is: it isn’t working. People are waking up, they are seeing information online or having it come to them, hearts are opening and the masses aren’t quite so quick to believe something just because it comes from the media or government – actually it’s quite the opposite!
The truth is being revealed and while they are doing all they can to keep covering it, a momentum among humanity is rocking and rolling. PLEASE keep focusing on that. Continue to have hope and faith in your brothers and sisters on this planet that those who are yet to awaken will, and that those who are awake are doing all they can – even simply by our presence and awareness as a minimum - to ensure humanity live with freedom and empowerment, as every being is entitled to by divine law. We did not come here this time to have this story repeat itself for another cycle!

Numerology
On a quick numerological note, 2015 sees us enter a Number 8 year. Interestingly enough, the Chinese Year of the Goat/Ram/Sheep starting Feb 19 is also associated with the number 8, being the 8th sign in the Chinese wheel. 
An 8 year is associated with prosperity, success, power and good fortune. Yet it comes with the caveat: be careful what you ask for, you just might get it! If we have learned anything from the past it is this: power used without consciousness can result in destruction. We have also learned that consciousness without action can feel physically frustrating. Now is the time for us to combine our consciousness with action, and our action with consciousness.
It is time to get clear with ourselves as to what defines wealth and success for us personally? It used to be that people would instantly think of material things, and there is nothing wrong with the material, but ensure that you build any physical wealth on a foundation that is emotionally and spiritually wealthy and healthy for you. Ensure your true soul priorities are met - vibrant health, a happy family and/or great friends, a loving relationship, a peaceful society.....add to the list!

Keep on trucking this year, we are all in this together!

2012 where have you been for 2 years?!!

Back in 2012 there were, understandably, a lot of confused and disappointed people. Those of us aware of 'the shift' were left feeling a sense of anti-climax as the year came and went without that 'big' feeling we were all hoping and waiting for, the feeling that would confirm without a doubt something was most definitely happening not just to us, but to others also. There was evidence of course if you looked hard enough, but that was just it: where was the in-your-face, can't escape it, oh my god it's happening finally feeling that we had spent years if not decades preparing for?

In 2012 even NASA's solar physicists were left wondering what was going on as the much awaited solar maximum didn't quite max out as expected. Well peeps, wait and wonder no more. This past week has been like nothing we have experienced so far.  The sun is flaring like crazy town, and people are shifting faster than I can say wakey wakey.

It is like someone is coming along with a giant broom and sweeping away all the cobwebs so that everyone can see clearer. We are realizing - real eyes-ing - releasing old patterns in new ways, feeling them slide off us with ease after years of stubbornly holding on. We are having healing conversations, insights and epiphanies. People are owning previously unacknowledged stuff. The most unexpected apologies and forgiveness's are happening. Loved ones, beloved spiritual elders/teachers and dear pets are leaving the planet in what feels like a mass exodus, and I don't say that as any kind of prediction, rather just a statement regarding the last 10 days of soul departures.

Static is being replaced by clarity, and with clarity comes truth, freedom and empowerment. I don't know how long the sun will continue to flare, nor how long we will continue to have days like this that feel like one shift after another. What I do know is this: this past week has been something special. It has changed something for all of us, for the better - even if it has done it via challenging events and emotional outbursts.

Thank you to the Sun for being the portal of this energy for us. Thank you Sunspot AR2192, for flaring and flaring and growing and growing and flaring some more.

It's not all dancing in the streets with happy flags - light brings everything to the surface and so we will see eruptions of violence and anger, we will see those in resistance try to regain a sense of power and control in any way they can.

Yet, this time, finally, finally, the light is flaring back, all cylinders firing.

Goodbye December 21 and 2012



Goodbye December 21 and 2012

The video version can be viewed here
                       
How to describe what everyone is feeling right now? We may as well get one of those round bowls that you find on many a metaphysical shop counter, filled with rectangular shaped cards each one bearing the name of a particular feeling: Calm, Angry,  Excited, Disappointed, Grateful, Frustrated, Peaceful, Turbulent, Confident, Depressed, Motivated, Dejected, Committed, Betrayed, Happy, Sad.  Some of you may be feeling more of the uplifting vibes, others are feeling sucked into a vortex of the heavier ones, while many of you have looked at the round bowl, tipped the whole thing upside down, pointed at all the cards and said: “Yep, all that, that’s what I’m feeling.”
            Logically and in our hearts we know the ‘Shift’ is not a one day event, but a window of time during which we’ll see huge changes on every level, personal, social and global, as a result of an increase in consciousness that is influencing all Earth and humanity. We know that December 21 marked the final date of the end of a long cycle, significant but not necessarily heralding that something big and obvious would happen on that exact day. (Even in much, much, shorter astrological cycles like say a personal Saturn return of 28 years, you generally do not experience your big life changing event on the exact day that the transit is right on your natal planetary degree. In that case it’s an influence that spans across a year or so. So imagine when the cycle is 5125 years! Or 26000 years!). Yet, deep down, many of us hoped something, anything, would happen on or around this date as a kind of positive big bang entry into the new cycle, something to give us some sort of a sign that we are all heading in the right direction, that humanity is awakening, and that all of our inner and outer work hasn’t been for nothing.
We may not have even realised just how much we were hoping for that, until the day came and went, and many of us were left with a sense of empty anti-climax. Maybe not immediately. Maybe not on December 22 or 23, but slowly as the days have passed it is as if we all shouted 3, 2, 1 Happy New Year! and waited for the fireworks, but they didn’t come. So we waited a bit more, maybe there was a delay. We waited some more. More days and nights passed. People started leaving and grumbling; “Do you have any idea how much effort it took to get here, and there’s no show?”, “We came so early just to get a good seat, and now nothing!” “I want a refund!” “Well that’s the last time I ever believe in this company again. They can take their fireworks and shove it you know where!” Meanwhile other people, the faithful believers, are still on the blankets saying “No, don’t go, wait, the fireworks are still going to come. They’re just late, they’re giving us another date.”  Others still are smiling and saying “Hey, look around you. It was never about the fireworks. Look where you are! How amazing is this planet! Think about all the wonderful changes that are happening. You get to be part of that!” 
We’ve experienced wave after wave of intense energy surges all year, solar flares galore, what a build up! Yet on December 21....quiet, stillness, silence.  Many, including myself, experienced it as a very mellow, calm day.  Many, including myself, experienced multiple, amazing synchronicities in the days leading up to it and received answers to lifelong personal questions, in the most unexpected and subtle of ways.
One of my biggest questions to myself has always been ‘Am I doing what I came here to do, am I helping as many people as possible in the best way possible?” and one of my biggest fears used to be getting to the other side only to find out that I hadn’t done all I could of/was ‘supposed’ to!  That question was for me clearly answered and that fear completely cleared in the most unexpected of ways, and it didn’t come from a wild cosmic download or eight minutes of meditating. It came via an email from a lady who had contemplated ending her life that day, and was looking up ways to do it on the internet. As she was doing so one of the lessons from my course had just come into her inbox, so she opened that up and read it, and whatever she read gave her the aha moment she most needed in that moment to move forward with strength. In her words, she was now “resting in peace, without actually dying.” 
As soon as I read the email I cried and cried, good tears, thinking of this lady, grateful she had found whatever she needed to keep going. I cried, feeling as if someone upstairs had just given me a million dollar cheque with a graduation certificate saying you are doing enough, you’ve been doing enough, you are reaching exactly who you are supposed to be reaching. It is interesting, I often tell people you never know who you are helping, you never know how huge the smallest of actions can be to another person. I often share the story of the man who bumped into an old school mate years later, and thanked him for saving his life. He told him that one day he was on his way home from school, and yet again the bully kids were teasing him. The school mate stood up for him. He told his school mate “I was going home to kill myself that day but I didn’t because of what you did that day.” 
I share that story a lot because I want people to know that we really never know just how much we are helping, nor do we even necessarily know who exactly we are helping. I receive lots of wonderful emails letting me know and I STILL clearly didn’t get the message because it took this one, graphic, emotionally honest email to really make me get it...deep in my heart. 
So one of the things I really want to say about the beginning of this new cycle is, we may not have had the fireworks that many were expecting or even secretly hoping for but I hope that in some way you received some sign to keep going, even if it was small or subtle, and if you didn’t please consider temporarily using other people’s experiences as your source of inspiration to help you keep going until you do get your own personal ‘that’s what I needed to hear/see/know moment’.
On December 20 I experienced three amazing synchronicities, (you can read about them on my Facebook or Twitter feed) and have since been experiencing an increase in things like synchronistic meetings, texting someone at the exact time they are texting me, or thinking something and receiving a near instant manifestation regarding it (from ask a question get an answer from unexpected quarters to resisting something and getting an immediate physical body symptom mirroring the resistance!). It is time to be super clear, conscious and mindful of our thoughts!
Lots of people have reported that they too are experiencing multiple or amazing synchronicities around this time, so again while this isn’t exactly a globally visible blast of light from the sky, we have to acknowledge that it does exactly fit in with what a more high vibrational life looks like on a day to day level. We are so clear on our visions regarding what an awakened society looks like (and think our current reality society looks quite different!) it is easy to dismiss what Florence Scovel Shinn called ‘the signs that land is up ahead even when you can’t see it’ - the twigs floating on the water and the birds circling the ship, letting us know we are heading in the right direction.
There is no doubt we are in a ‘reboot’ period, with many struck down since December 21 with lots of people reporting headaches, cold and flu’s requiring bed rest, power outages, flat batteries in the home or car, phones and internet down,  and generally feeling a nothingness or flatness.  This is a more extreme version of the in limbo feeling many have felt during 2012.  During the year it’s like we were waiting for our new ‘programs’, whereas now the new programs have arrived and we are now going through the process of activation. As you know with your computer, when you install a new system you have to shut down your computer and re-start to activate the new software.  Hence this feeling many are having of wanting to leave the planet or being in a big, black void of nothingness – this will pass. Your old identity is gone, gone gonskies and your new one is being uploaded and activated and part of you has no idea what that new identity is all about. The old contracts are finished and your new blank pages await.
For some the unknown is magical and a wonderful mystery, they are excited to unwrap it. For others the unknown is an overwhelming scary place prone to bring on anxiety and panic attacks or depression. If you are looking at the road ahead and just see nothingness, I highly recommend grabbing a pile of magazines and tearing out images that come to you. (I did this inspired by this creative nudge and found it personally very helpful). This is not meant to be a vision board, just a quick way to really determine where your own personal energy is at, and what your new/true self wants to tell you about what’s really going on in the centre of you, as opposed to getting caught up in the flurry of conflicting feelings and messages that are swirling all around you. You will more than likely be surprised at the images you choose. This will help your ‘head’ catch up to where your energy/heart is at.
As we move forward with our physical selves and physical lives on the higher vibrational reality plane, the old denser physical reality will still be around us as it goes through the transformative process we have already internally gone through. People ask, if we have shifted up into a new vibration how can old vibration reality still be present? The physical reality of our today, is the result of the energy reality of our yesterday’s. While our collective vibrational shift will start to show itself in more obvious ways in the physical in the months and years to come, for a time we are still living with the physical manifestations of our collective old vibration. Your personal life may be 70% or 90%  ‘new vibration’ but even so you may still have to interact with people and systems that are in their transition stage. On an energy level they have been called to shift, but on a physical, visible level they are still acting out the old vibration.
The physical is like a system that has been fed loads of etheric coins in order to play.  As each coin drops, the relevant tune plays. New high vibration coins are now flowing into all of our systems, but for some people there is a backlog of old vibration coins queued up, still playing the old tunes. Those tunes have to play out on the physical before the new tunes can start playing for those people, and for certain systems, situations, countries, etc. Others have spent a long time clearing their backlog, and started dropping new vibration coins into their system a while ago, and so for those people they are seeing lots of the new tunes already playing in their daily life in various life areas. It’s like when you introduce a new coin into the monetary system – there is a period when there are the old versions and new versions floating about, but as more of the new come in, and more of the old get taken out, eventually it’s very rare to see an old coin and the new becomes the new standard.   
The amount of time you spend in old reality energy will be different from person to person and from day to day. It will depend on how much of your life you have already shifted on the physical and emotional level and how much you are yet to shift, for example are you working in a job you are in harmony with or one that is making you sick? Are you surrounded by supportive friends and family, or still hanging out with toxic people?  Are you thinking thoughts and living your life in alignment with your truth and heart, or allowing yourself to drop into disempowering thoughts and actions? The energy disparity between the two will become more and more extreme, and so any ‘drop down’ into the old reality will increasingly feel harder, heavier and downright suffocating.
 A note on this – this ‘drop down’ is more to do with your inner energy and less to do with your outer environment.  For example, you can choose to be in a challenging environment with harmonious energy and be of great service that way. Likewise, you can also choose to be in a lovely, supportive environment with restrictive or hostile thoughts and be of great disservice to yourself that way.
Crossing the threshold of December 21 has triggered major feelings in all those who have long awaited this date. There is a feeling of release – release from old fear-based predictions and prophecies that were keeping many stuck and release from old, archaic energies that have long dominated this planet. There is an associated feeling of freedom and liberation – freedom to now truly do what we came here to do, free of old (perceived and real) restrictions, free of old beliefs, free of old karma, free of an old paradigm that is crumbling faster than we can say new reality.
There are feelings of disappointment, anger and confusion – Why aren’t things happening faster, (crumbling faster!) in a more obvious way? Why did so many people predict specific things that didn’t happen?  (Mass landings, Nibiru passing, 3 days of darkness, etc). To the former: many associated December 21 with the time that the changes would have all occurred by, when actually it was more the marker of our turning point – the time by which we had to collectively make our choice. Would we keep going straight and hit a brick wall, or would we turn right and shift with the Earth, making the changes we need to make to keep living on her in a peaceful and sustainable way?  As frustrated as part of my human self is at how far we have yet to go, my inner self keeps reminding me how far we have come and how much has changed even in the past year let alone the past 5 or 10 years. As much as I watch the mainstream media in disbelief as they continue with what passes for informative news, I am uplifted by the online alternative news media and thousands of inspirational people and sites that millions are now tuning into to gather truthful, empowering information. As enormous as the problems billions still face are, I am amazed daily by the numbers of people waking up, in their own ways, asking questions, yearning for more meaningful lives, wanting a more harmonious world, seeking and participating in solutions, demanding change, extending their hand to others in whatever way they can.
Although the Shift is not an overnight transformation, it is also not one that will take many generations to start to be made manifest in clear, visible, tangible ways. Of course, our grandchildren’s world will be one we cannot even imagine, for the better, but some of the real change we so deeply yearn for will be something we get to experience in our lifetime. How can I be so sure? Why would you even believe in anything anymore after the ‘non-event’ of December 21? Well for one thing, it’s already started for anyone who has their eyes truly open to it. Secondly, it does not make sense that so many of us would incarnate with such a clear focus, such a clear intention, such a clear mission, such a clear vision and such a clear calling to create a new reality, only to have the change we participate in be no more and no less than any other ‘normal’ change that happens every decade, every generation.  This is the time of planting our seeds, and we are the star seeds doing the planting. We have always known we are here to do this, only in the old cycle our seeds had a hard time taking root in that particular dirt. The old cycle ‘dirt’ wasn’t compatible with our seeds that were programmed for new cycle ‘dirt’. It’s like when you plant a vegie garden, if the ground is not suitable, the vegetables won’t grow.  We’re now finally in the time of rich, lush soil perfectly suited to our seeds, and so now is definitely not the time to give up or have a tantrum that you’ve had enough!
To the latter regarding specific predictions, I think we are to expect some wild cards, things that no-one has predicted, and it will happen on some random Tuesday when we least expect it, and it will be transformative in a positive way. Forget doomsday, forget living underground for three years, that timeline ship has long sailed. Throughout our history we have had a myriad of timelines going into multiple potential futures, and it is quite possible that people who were predicting specific happenings were tuning into a timeline that simply was no longer an option by the time we arrived at that time point. People have talked about there being two remaining timelines leading up to December 21, one of awakening and global transformation, and the other of destruction. This didn’t mean that either of those things would happen on that day, rather that humanity would ultimately choose one or the other of those two timeline train tracks as we entered the new cycle, no longer able to have both as an option. My feeling has always been that we knew a long time ago which timeline we would ultimately choose, the one of awakening and global transformation, and we have done that.  Don’t take my word for it, look for your own evidence, go into your own heart and truth, seek your own counsel. If the ‘false’ predictions have taught us anything it is to use our own discernment, to go with our own intuition and gut instincts.  Your own centre is the best place to go for a feeling of safety, clarity and guidance at any time.
My feeling on ‘mass landings’ is that no benevolent race would land here until they’re sure that a) we aren’t going to run screaming in fear/try to shoot them down and b) we don’t revere them as our gods or saviours. The message that came through after December 21 was that in a way the ‘mass landing’ did happen only totally not in the way we expected it to.  As we now awaken (are activated) to even more of who we really are, (including the awakening/activation of previously dormant abilities) we awaken to the memory of ourselves as beings from the stars. The starship full of Pleiadians that you’ve been waiting for your whole life are actually those really lovely people you met at a festival last weekend. The Sirians you’ve always wanted to talk to are the people you sat amongst at that workshop yesterday. The Arcturians with powerful healing abilities are the bodyworkers and health practitioners you’ve been helped by.  They don’t secretly go home and unzip their human outfit and recline on the couch in their light bodies.  They don’t gather in conspiratorial groups and laugh about how the humans haven’t figured out yet that they’ve infiltrated the human ranks.  They aren’t scary aliens any more than you are a scary alien. If you don’t resonate with this bit, that’s fine but if you do, then you are one of these star seeds, these star beings, who have come to Earth this lifetime, incarnating as a human, to help create the new world with your own special vibrational footprint, or lightprint as it were. The Hopi’s said it: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” Do we get that yet?
I am the first person to say I cannot wait for the day the whole world acknowledges the reality of our galactic neighbours as a normal reality. Yet, to wait for star people from another planet to come and help us or save us, is to not acknowledge our own ability, and responsibility, to help ourselves and save ourselves and shift ourselves into a physical reality that is a worthy match to the vibrational reality we know we are capable of and that we are already actually holding. We have got to step into our power first. We have got to stop waiting for a date, for ‘ascension’, for disclosure. We have got to just get on with doing what we feel called to do, and now more than ever we get a chance to get clear on why we are doing it.
Disillusioned with the universe? Are you over your guides? Sick of channels and promises of a greater reality?  Fine. So this is the moment to ask ourselves “Am I doing what I’m doing because of the universe/my guides/what channels are saying or am I doing what I’m doing because I can’t not do it? Am I doing it because I look at people and society and the world and see there can be new ways of doing things? Am I going to do what I’m going to do because someone has promised me there’ll be a mass awakening, or because my children and grandchildren will one day ask: “And what did you do to change things? What did you do with your ‘seeds’ and your awakened self?”
When my mum was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer and six brain tumours ten years ago, aged 50, a healer, an artist, I threw a huge tantrum at the universe. I said I’d resign if anything happened to her, and never believe in anything again! Well, in the three months of that very short journey before she passed I learned something that was a major turning point in my life. I learned that you can’t say everything happens for a reason, and then throw a tantrum when you don’t yet understand the reason. I learned that healing comes in many forms and that death is not a failure or an end, and nor are unexpected outcomes. I’m being reminded of that time in my life because I know a lot of you right now are screaming at the universe saying you’ve had enough and you’re going to resign and never believe in anything again. That time in my life was when I spiritually grew up and started embodying my truth, embodying what I knew and started really living it. As we transition from one cycle to the next, this is our time to spiritually grow up, to embody our truth and what we know, and really start living it. It is time to take a good look at what we are doing and why, and know for whom are we doing it. It is a good time to start fresh, taking only what really resonates with us as we move forward into our futures.  
Yes, we do deserve something big and obvious and amazing to happen. Yes we all want a cosmic shower of love and awakening to spread all over everyone on the whole planet in a way that they can really feel it and know it. But at the end of the day we will still be left with the question...and then what? Well we have now arrived at the time where we have to answer that question, starships or no starships, global love wave or no global love wave. The time is here, the star people aren’t going to do it for us, the global love wave may have come and gone a hundred times already for all we know but it still isn’t going to do it for us. We have to do it for us. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. It is time to get that now.
