June Energies: Let go of the Chains of the Past and Welcome the Keys to your Freedom!
Right now we are being asked to break down any limiting little boxes we have created in our minds. You know the ones. They tightly grip on to what they know to be true, based on a less than functional history, and hold on for dear life, even when the walls are collapsing all around them. It is like that story of the elephants who were chained to poles from birth, training them not to stray too far. Eventually the elephants grew up and were more than strong enough to break free, but they were so conditioned to stay within their confined space that it never occurred to them they could leave!
Many people are now choosing – or having the choice thrust upon them seemingly without their choice – to break free out of old, confined spaces. I say seemingly because everything is the choice of our higher self with or without our conscious knowing. Jobs, relationships, homes, geographic locations that are past their use by date are being swept from beneath us. We are being propelled into realities that are more expansive, freeing us to truly be who we really are.
You would think we would all be leaping for joy and shouting yippee! No Siree Bob, for many it is the exact opposite. From the extreme of gripping on to the old, collapsing reality so tight it is hurting, to haunting ourselves with constant fears, doubts and worries: “How will I survive”, “Where will the money come from to support this new life”, and “I will be jobless/homeless/relationshipless forever", our guides are shaking their heads with despair.
It is like they have given us the keys to get out of jail, and we are crying wanting to be let back in.
It is common for people who have spent a long time in prison to re-offend just to get back in there. Why? Well, prison often becomes for them the one place in their life that feels familiar, that offers a comfort zone of sorts. Daily life is scheduled, there is a roof over their heads and three square meals a day. Cellmates become brothers, and while I am by no means insinuating prison life is peachy, it at least offers some degree of stability and security for many who have had not one inch of that in their lives. Out in the world it is a whole new ballgame, offering freedom yes, but a freedom filled with uncertainty. Sounds crazy yes. Surely one would take freedom over prison bars, no matter how uncertain the future? Really? Have you ever stayed in a relationship or job too long that you knew was not healthy for you, but you stayed anyway because you were scared about ending up alone or surviving financially?
So this is how we humans are. Paradise is often available right in front of us but until we get some kind of guarantee it is there, with a detailed map and itinerary listing exactly how to get to the front door and which rides we should take when in there, and whether those rides will make us sick and giddy or happy and joyful, well, we tend to stay right where we are even if it’s a bit of a swamp.
Meanwhile our guides are shouting from the top of the ferris wheel: Over here, this way, it’s all here, just look! If you can’t see, just trust. If you can’t trust, well then just jump anyway! Are you happy where you are now?? Then what have you got to lose?
We are this way because we have been stuck in the matrix where time has a past present future line, and our mirrors are usually turned to the rear view. This gives us no hope whatsoever that tomorrow can actually be different to yesterday. We fear and even anticipate repeating the past, and so often we do because we are the creators of our reality and we create the reality we think we are going to create. We see the reality we expect to see.
If you are looking at the present with grey coloured glasses on, viewing what’s happening through the lens of past experiences, holding on to old and outdated rigid beliefs about reality, those glasses will be feeling pretty tight and uncomfortable right now. We don’t often know we are walking around with these glasses – otherwise we would fling them off pronto! Sometimes we do know but they have been stuck so firmly on for so long that we have no idea how to remove them no matter how hard we pull!
How do you know if you have a pair of these glasses on? Look around at all aspects of your reality, and your relationship with these aspects. Money, love, health, work, home, family – are you desperately trying to move toward one reality, while another one keeps popping up in front of you, whether real or imagined? Is the Universe shoving you into a new reality but you are adamant some kind of mistake has been made and all this change is leading nowhere good. Are you in, or one step close to, the life of your dreams but can’t seem to enjoy it because old tapes keep playing that old one hit wonder “Worries, Doubts and Fears”. If so – chuck out the old tapes so that you can hear what the new tapes are saying “Jump. Trust. Believe. Have Faith”!!! Take off the glasses so that you can see the Paradise ahead of you, or all around you, clearly. It is there.
Right now Christian and I are preparing for a big adventure. All we had to go on was the guidance from our guides to head to the Americas. The second we committed to the trip a detailed itinerary started to unfold right before our eyes, all of it by way of invitations and openings that came to us from people who didn’t even know we were heading in that direction! One week away from leaving, bags and home nearly packed up, we find ourselves with the first 2 months completely scheduled with the most amazing events and happenings. We are sure that things will continue to unfold this way because one thing has been made clear to us time and again; when you follow your guidance it will always, always lead you toward the direction of your destiny.
So, yes I am also one of those people jumping into the unknown yet there is nothing truly uncertain about it, because the itinerary team up in Spirit co-ordinating things would have to take out the biggest award for Most Efficient and Most Organised Management.
Don’t be scared of your freedom. Embrace it. Say goodbye to any self imposed jails you have created and are leaving behind, be they physical, mental or emotional, and take the keys to your Paradise right now. They are right there in your Heart, whispering to you, this way, this way.

May Energies: Where’s my Support…and why did you Hit Me? Or Goodbye to the Old Masculine and Hello to the New!
What’s Happening this Month written by Dana Mrkich

May Energies: Where’s my Support…and why did you Hit Me? Or Goodbye to the Old Masculine and Hello to the New!
All around us the theme of the moment is support – how are we being supported? Who is supporting us? Who has been supporting us? How will we continue to be supported in the future? Why are our support structures shifting and changing so rapidly? This is coming up for us in every aspect of our lives – emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially. Let’s start with the aspect most visible (or invisible as the case may be) to many right now – money.
You could be forgiven for thinking we have entered some bizarre world where all of a sudden the head of Abundance and Money has called for a re-structure. You look into your bank account and you’re sure that more should be in there, but a plethora of bills, payments, payouts and purchases have suddenly swooped in to take their share and you are left with much less than you are used to. Monies you expected to arrive perhaps haven’t come in yet, (they are on their way!) meanwhile conditions at work are reshuffling so quickly you aren’t even sure if you’ll still be there in a month’s time. Certain streams of income are shutting down, while unexpected new streams of abundance are opening up……phew we discover we have more than enough funds to pay those bills after all!
When I was talking about this issue of support that has arisen in people lately my friend and brilliant healer/channel Peita Campbell said: “It’s the Divine Masculine awakening.” Hmmm…..we have been dealing with the awakening of the Divine Feminine so much over the last few years I must say that I have somewhat neglected the Divine Masculine. I walked to the beach and sat down on the sand, closing my eyes to ask for guidance on this matter. Immediately I got an image of a giant size gold genie! I just knew that this was a representation of my Divine Masculine. I asked him what on Earth was going on with the support systems in people’s lives right now? He replied by saying that all support systems that are no longer serving us or in any way connected to the old masculine paradigm are being removed right now, so that support systems that genuinely do serve us and that are aligned with the new masculine way of supporting can come in.
For example, perhaps a woman has been relying on money from a partner, but that partner loses his job or leaves her. Suddenly she is faced with the very real need of finding some income fast. Although the initial feeling is one of panic and fear, ultimately this situation will take her from a place of dependency, to one of independence where not only is she learning to take care of herself but in the process moving into new work that her soul has perhaps been crying out to do for years. Maybe she hasn’t been living to her full potential and this turn of events pushes her, albeit initially with great difficulty, into a whole new and improved self and life.
In another example, a man who has been working in a corporate job he doesn’t enjoy all that much but gets paid well for, is pushed out of the company. He has been saying he has to get out for years, deeply desiring to do something he really loves, but the fear factor has always stopped him. Well, the decision was made for him – in every sense of the word. The decision was made FOR him – for his highest good. The universe didn’t push him out of the company to have him be homeless and bankrupt. It pushed him because they can see a future for him that is waiting for him, one in which he is happily running his own business. The push created some stress, but ultimately provided the impetus for him to try out his idea once and for all.
Stepping into our new support structures requires trust – and when we don’t have that trust the universe is trusting on our behalf and pushing us into the new. (It’s much easier of course for them to trust on our behalf, seeing as they can see a whole lot further down the road than we can!)
So it’s a case of ready or not, here comes your support structure paradigm shift from old to new! This process is bringing up so many emotions in people; feeling they are being abandoned, sadness and anger around losing their former sources of security and stability, fear that much is being taken away but not yet connecting with the wonderful things to come. This is why the key word to help you through this time is: TRUST.
When I was chatting with my Divine Masculine on the beach that day, he looked at me and asked: “Do you trust that my worth is enough to support you?” That was a new question for me. I have definitely dealt with the Divine Feminine and the need for her worth to be acknowledged especially with regards to relationships, but now here was the Divine Masculine talking to me about a whole other kind of worth. The more traditional show me the money kind of worth.
As I looked at him it seemed ridiculous to say anything other than “Yes!” what with his ten foot tall, solid gold genie-like presence sending out quite the message of ‘I am limitless abundance at your disposal’. I realized all the many things we do or accept that suggest we don’t trust the worth of our Divine Masculine.
So now is a good time to connect with your own Divine Masculine and when he asks you if you trust that his worth is enough to support you, feel into are you ready to say yes? Take a look at all the reasons why you have been saying no, or still are.
Of course this support issue is also playing itself out emotionally in the realm of relationships: “Is this partner/friend/boss truly there for me?” Your inner child may be asking (again) “Why weren’t my parents there for me?” Old insecurities around these issues may be triggering neediness, jealousy, paranoia, controlling behaviour, doubts and dramas. All of these things are being highlighted and intensified so that they can ship up and clear out!
While our Divine Feminine is teaching us: you can love and nurture yourself no matter who is or isn’t there for you, no matter who was or wasn’t there for you, the Divine Masculine is teaching us: you can look after yourself materially and financially no matter what, you can stand up for yourself and receive what you are worth no matter what.
The awakening of the Feminine triggers all our wounds around the separation from Source, influencing how loved we feel. The awakening of the Masculine triggers all our wounds around basic human survival on this planet, influencing how safe, protected and provided for we feel. Just as the message of the Divine Feminine is YOU are the source of your own Love, the message of the Divine Masculine is YOU are the source of your own Abundance. We are all Divine Sparks from the One Source. We are part of it just like drops of ocean are part of the ocean, and so we cannot be separated from that which we are. Your worth is deep and limitless, and it has the ability to give you endless amounts of all good things, material and emotional. So open up your Divine Feminine and Masculine energy, connect with their immense worth, and let them know you are ready to receive all that you deserve and all that you are!

Bicycle: A New Reality Real Life Story
So many people are resonating right now to the leap of faith it takes, as we jump from our old realities into the new. I'd like to share this short story written by a client, that as she says, captures how she feels after the transition. If you have a story of your own to share, please email me at: dana@danamrkich.com and we can post it here to help inspire others to make their own shift.
Bicycle by Kiara
Both rain and the wind are belting me from different directions. I have just reached the point at which the last thread of my clothing has become soaked. I feel like a giant sponge that has been suspended in mid air and placed upon this devilish metal contraption that taunts gravity by its forward momentum. However, this momentum has become somewhat impeded by the raw forces of nature that are playing with it as capriciously as a small child. Sometimes they let it fly free into the ether, and at other times they force it to a glacial pace at which even the slowest of snails would overtake me.
Is it sweat, is it rain or could it even be tears that are flowing down my face? It could be a conglomerate of all three, yet it doesn’t really matter because the night is dark and there are no stars to illuminate my trials. I shall not allow this to beat me and my ideals. I envisioned that this trip would bring with it a feeling of emancipation, and freedom from the constraints of stagnation that were eating away at me in my prior safety shell. I needed to crawl out of the place of security, familiarity and consistency, say adieu to the mundane and prosaic and step off the cliff with the knowledge that the parachute will inevitably open.
Today as I am being put through my first major initiation, I can see why people tend to be reluctant in taking the leap. I feel as if this is my first test, and I wish to fly instead of falling and thus I shall persist. As a final test of strength, the rear tyre has gone flat. I pull over and get out a map from my soggy backpack. I still attempt to maintain an air of indifference and a matter of fact stance as I leaf through the tattered pages.
Finally I realise that I am even further from my end goal than when I started, and a feeling of helplessness overcomes me. My spirit has just deflated to imitate my rear tyre. I wish nothing more than to hurl the rust bucket into the nearest canal, yet my early idealistic visions flash before my eyes like a silent black and white movie. This is my future, this is the new reality that I was seeking, and this was the risk that I was willing to take in order to move beyond the status quo which left me numb and uninspired.
So what if I am lost in a large city, at night, with rain, wind and a flat tyre? In reality I am still much better off than safely at home wondering why life is passing me by. I suddenly feel alive and realise that this constitutes living in the moment. I am not contemplating what I shall do in the future or reminiscing about the past, I exist in the present moment. I can smell the mud below my feet, I can feel the icy wind and rain whipping my face and I can see smudged lights that together comprise this city. It matters not that I am lost. What matters is that I stepped outside of the self perpetuating cycle which epitomised security, stability and certainty. I am free and thus I shall pedal on.

Kiara is a client of Dana's who has made the leap from her old reality in one city to a new reality in another city on the other side of the world.

April Energies: Feel the Heat...and do it Anyway!
What’s Happening this Month Embracing Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality, written by Dana Mrkich.
April Energies: Feel the Heat…and do it Anyway!
Before you start reading this month’s energy report let’s take a moment to take a deep breath in. Hold it for five seconds, and now let out a BIG exhale. How did that feel? Did you feel like you just released some tension? Good. Did you get a feeling wash over you that says it’s going to be okay no matter how stressed/pushed to your limit/exhausted/full of fear you have been? Well, it will be okay. It actually already is, even though we might not exactly know up from down one minute to another these days!
Here’s the strange thing about these changing times. It’s like we’ve been running a marathon for a really, really long time. We’ve always had our supporters by the sidelines cheering us on, some who we see clearly and others we don’t. We’ve also had another crowd off in the distance who haven’t wanted us to do very well in this marathon, but mainly they didn’t pay us too much attention. This crowd have occasionally sent obstacles and false detours our way. They’ve had a few great laughs watching us sweat it out and get emotional about this endurance event we entered eons ago, not remembering why. Mainly they’ve pre-occupied themselves with other things, never in a million years anticipating that we, the Earth people, would ever come close to getting over the finishing line. You see this crowd under-estimated the strength of the human spirit, which is driven by the desire to move ever forward and discover our true potential.
This crowd have been laughing at us hurling ourselves ever closer toward the finish line, marked on our Earth calendar by the date December 21 2012. “You think you’re going to get there in one piece?” they shouted down from the viewing hills. “You can’t even run a mile without abusing each other or yourselves,” they taunted “Give up now people, the show’s over. Go home.”
The more they taunted, the faster and further we ran. Yes we humans are a crazy bunch. The more someone says we can’t do something, the more defiant we get, the more stubborn, determined and driven we become. “You think we can’t finish this race? We’ll show you a finish!”we shouted back. We looked around at each other nodding and affirming ourselves, meanwhile thinking “Oh man, we’re in trouble. We’re not in good shape at all!” So, we had a big meeting. We could either keep tripping each other up and get nowhere, or we could band together and as a team help each other get across that line, no matter what it took.
So, several years ago (yes it’s been a long long marathon), we started to work together. We started chanting positive affirmations toward each other. We threw books to our teammates that we felt would help them with their technique and running style. One by one we all started turning into the little engine that could, puffing ‘I think I can, I think I can’ as we put one foot in front of the other.
The crowd started paying a bit more attention, but still didn’t take all this motivational stuff too seriously. “I mean, pffhh they’re human for god’s sake. How much more can they take?”
But we kept going, and finally we got to the marker that the crowd never thought we’d reach. The marker of 2008. Alarm bells started going off, and a buzz spread throughout the crowd. This was completely unforeseen. Never in a million years did they think we’d get this far, and still be on our feet, still be in a state of moving forward. They decided to start getting serious with their sabotaging tactics. They started throwing energy balls at us targeting our most vulnerable areas: our belief in ourselves, our faith in humanity, our confidence in our ability to have a dream and a vision ahead of us and muster up the courage and strength to go for it, no matter how hard it gets, no matter how big our doubts grow, no matter how much our fears feel like they are enveloping us.
Right now we are feeling two extremes of polarity at the exact same time, and it can be hectic! We are so close to the finishing line, the supporters lining the route are growing in numbers and their cheers are getting so loud. With each mile we are being given a glimpse of what awaits us at the finish. Either through visions or awakened hope or remembered dreams or actual changing situations we are being shown a whole new reality that includes our most perfect soulmate relationship, connections with our most dear soul family and friends, work that we love that supports us in every way and helps to uplift and empower others, new homes in new locations that are more in alignment with our new selves. The momentum of the new carries us forward and helps over-ride the burning feeling in our muscles that is crying out for rest.
Rest one day if you need to, then get up and keep running!!
Simultaneously the energies that don’t want us to get to the finish line have gone into a frenzy. We are ducking and weaving trying to dodge gigantic balls of doubt and fear. We are trying to shut out the voices telling us it’s too late, telling us we can’t make it, meanwhile trying to tune in to the constant vibe of support humming around us affirming to us, it’s not too late, you can do it, you’re nearly there, keep going, keep going. Half the time we feel like crawling up in our doona’s and sending out a message to the rest of the team: “Wake me when it’s over.” But we know we can’t do that, and nor would we want to miss out on all the action, as crazy as it is, and still is yet to get.
Right now you might feel like all you’ve ever wanted is right there in front of you, closer than it ever has been before. At the same time, you might be feeling more fear and doubt than ever before about actually reaching out and stepping into the life that you came here to live. Some days you feel like you’re running toward the home stretch with wind under your wings, and other days you feel like you’re jumping hurdles. Keep jumping, keep running.
I read a great quote once, that said “When one door closes another one opens, but it’s hell in the hallway. Don’t stop in the hallway!” It’s interesting that I’m currently hearing about a lot of dreams people are having to do with fire, volcanoes, intense burning heat and explosions. It might feel like we’ve jumped out of the frying pan into the fire (sorry, old boring analogy but kinda appropriate here!), but this is not a time to sit down and cry about how hot it is getting! Okay then, have a cry, but then when you’ve had a good bawl, get up and keep moving. We need all hands on deck, to help each other cross that finish line and prove wrong anyone who thought we couldn’t do it. This is what you came here for. The entire marathon up until now has been like a warm up. Your muscles have been stretched, your fitness is at it’s peak, even though you might feel you are at your most weary.
If you have a vision in your mind about what you want, or even have a pretty good idea about what you don’t want, then let that motivate you to keep moving forward. When the fear and doubt come, treat them like a hurdle that you just have to jump over.
Onward, upward. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do what you came here to do, or be who you came here to be. Not at this point of the game. One by one we all need to cross the finish line. Your running team, your fellow humans, need you. Get up and keep moving toward your true self and best life. You can do it.

One by one we all started turning into the little engine that could, puffing ‘I think I can, I think I can’ as we put one foot in front of the other.
The crowd started paying a bit more attention, but still didn’t take all this motivational stuff too seriously. “I mean, pffhh they’re human for god’s sake. How much more can they take?”
But we kept going, and finally we got to the marker that the crowd never thought we’d reach. The marker of 2008. Alarm bells started going off, and a buzz spread throughout the crowd. This was completely unforeseen. Never in a million years did they think we’d get this far, and still be on our feet, still be in a state of moving forward. They decided to start getting serious with their sabotaging tactics. They started throwing energy balls at us targeting our most vulnerable areas: our belief in ourselves, our faith in humanity, our confidence in our ability to have a dream and a vision ahead of us and muster up the courage and strength to go for it, no matter how hard it gets, no matter how big our doubts grow, no matter how much our fears feel like they are enveloping us.
Right now we are feeling two extremes of polarity at the exact same time, and it can be hectic! We are so close to the finishing line, the supporters lining the route are growing in numbers and their cheers are getting so loud. With each mile we are being given a glimpse of what awaits us at the finish. Either through visions or awakened hope or remembered dreams or actual changing situations we are being shown a whole new reality that includes our most perfect soulmate relationship, connections with our most dear soul family and friends, work that we love that supports us in every way and helps to uplift and empower others, new homes in new locations that are more in alignment with our new selves. The momentum of the new carries us forward and helps over-ride the burning feeling in our muscles that is crying out for rest.
Rest one day if you need to, then get up and keep running!!
Simultaneously the energies that don’t want us to get to the finish line have gone into a frenzy. We are ducking and weaving trying to dodge gigantic balls of doubt and fear. We are trying to shut out the voices telling us it’s too late, telling us we can’t make it, meanwhile trying to tune in to the constant vibe of support humming around us affirming to us, it’s not too late, you can do it, you’re nearly there, keep going, keep going. Half the time we feel like crawling up in our doona’s and sending out a message to the rest of the team: “Wake me when it’s over.” But we know we can’t do that, and nor would we want to miss out on all the action, as crazy as it is, and still is yet to get.
Right now you might feel like all you’ve ever wanted is right there in front of you, closer than it ever has been before. At the same time, you might be feeling more fear and doubt than ever before about actually reaching out and stepping into the life that you came here to live. Some days you feel like you’re running toward the home stretch with wind under your wings, and other days you feel like you’re jumping hurdles. Keep jumping, keep running.
I read a great quote once, that said “When one door closes another one opens, but it’s hell in the hallway. Don’t stop in the hallway!” It’s interesting that I’m currently hearing about a lot of dreams people are having to do with fire, volcanoes, intense burning heat and explosions. It might feel like we’ve jumped out of the frying pan into the fire (sorry, old boring analogy but kinda appropriate here!), but this is not a time to sit down and cry about how hot it is getting! Okay then, have a cry, but then when you’ve had a good bawl, get up and keep moving. We need all hands on deck, to help each other cross that finish line and prove wrong anyone who thought we couldn’t do it. This is what you came here for. The entire marathon up until now has been like a warm up. Your muscles have been stretched, your fitness is at it’s peak, even though you might feel you are at your most weary.
If you have a vision in your mind about what you want, or even have a pretty good idea about what you don’t want, then let that motivate you to keep moving forward. When the fear and doubt come, treat them like a hurdle that you just have to jump over.
Onward, upward. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do what you came here to do, or be who you came here to be. Not at this point of the game. One by one we all need to cross the finish line. Your running team, your fellow humans, need you. Get up and keep moving toward your true self and best life. You can do it.

March Energies: Feels like Crunch time!
What’s Happening this Month
Embracing Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality,
by Dana Mrkich
March Energies: Feels like Crunch time!
We have become accustomed by now to the ups and downs of the rollercoaster ride as we make our journey to the new reality, but wow what a dhoozy of a ride the last month has been! Sharp jerks to the left, sudden drops, unexpected stalls and carriages that twirl around in circles have left many feeling dizzy, sick and as if they are barely hanging on! Many are asking, “Where is the beautiful, rainbow filled happy ever after? Why is this so hard? Why do I feel like *%&#? Why am I so angry/tired/frustrated/over it?
Issues that felt as if they were long gone have raised up more intensely than ever before, along with any remaining irritations, resentments and insecurities within us. Our inner children are having a field day, standing up to be counted. They are raising their voices, chucking tantrums, drawing lines in the sand, strengthening their boundaries and declaring “no more!” at the thought of being hidden, ignored, not listened to, avoided or abused anymore.
If you have mainly been paying lipservice to your path then this last month may have shown you the difference between your talk and your walk loud and clear. If your mantra is ‘everything happens for a reason’ but you get frustrated at any small upset in your routine or expected outcome then the control ogre that resides within you likely triggered a few earthquakes to bring him or herself to your attention.
If you have been talking about the kind of relationship or work you would like for years, but somehow keep attracting (ie saying yes to!!!) the complete opposite of that, then things are going to start feeling mighty uncomfortable as your authentic self and ego battle for space. There is only room for one of them on your seat into the new reality, and they are going to fight hard in an attempt to squeeze the other out. Decide which one you want as your traveling companion and offer your 100% unconditional support to them all the way. Not just lip service support, but real life following your instincts doing what you feel guided to do no matter what support.
“How can I tell the difference between my authentic self and my ego?” is a really common question. Well the ego usually guides us from a place of fear, while the authentic self guides us from a place of love.
When we follow the ego we usually learn our lessons the hard way, we resist change or changing, we try to control others, and are left feeling exhausted, depleted, as if we are swimming the wrong way against the current of a river. We ignore the signs that say wrong way, go back. We make all the excuses in the world but deep down know we are going against the grain of our most authentic self, and are not treating him or her with dignity and respect. The ego sucks us back in the direction of the old reality.
When we follow the authentic self we are pulled along the river in a good way, going with the flow of the current. Our authentic self is headed in the direction of the new reality and ultimately, whether we feel excited, scared, challenged, joyous or inspired by that, we have a good feeling about it. Perhaps not knowing exactly where we are going, but trusting that we are being led to a good and right place. We follow the signs and synchronicities that come our way, pointing us further in the right direction. We allow others to live life their way, respecting their choices and decisions, because we are respecting and following our own.
We can’t give out any more mixed messages to the universe, asking for one thing but saying yes to another thing holding fear or doubt it will ever come. We are terrified of the gap in between asking and receiving, and do anything to fill it. Ironically, our saying yes to the other thing from a place of fear or doubt can stop the one thing from coming!! Stop saying yes to what you don’t actually want, and the universe will get the message quickly and give you what you really want. Now this doesn’t mean you ask for your dream job and then sit back waiting, saying no to other job offers while the bills and rent pile up. It does mean to hold your vision and let it call you toward it, staying true to it anyway you can, while still doing what you have to do on a day to day basis to live. If you have to say yes to another thing temporarily, do it with gratitude, thanking it for supporting you while you are ever moving toward your desired one thing. Even if for now you just have a vision board pinned up on your wall, then that is what you have. Hold your vision!
So it’s crunch time. We have been allowing our authentic selves and egos to share the space within us for a long time now, but it is getting more and more difficult for them to do so. The energetic vibration of each is so vastly different that they literally cannot co-exist together. You may have noticed that whenever you drop into an old emotion, issue or pattern it immediately causes tension, pain or temporary illness in your physical body. It just doesn’t feel good anymore to drop down into old reality realities. When we keep our vibration high, and commit to supporting our authentic self, we feel lighter and clearer. It can be hard to keep our vibration high. It’s not easy to let go of things, people, jobs, homes, relationships, patterns, habits or anything that has been with us for a long time. But if these things now feel toxic or unhealthy more often than not, or are not serving our best possible path forward, then let go we must.
Know you are not alone. Know you have a team of dedicated guides supporting you through this process. Know you have hundreds of thousands of soul family all around the world, all right now going through the same process you are going through. This isn’t an easy time, but it doesn’t have to be a difficult time. Surrender to your authentic self. Let her or him go where she or he needs to go. Support your authentic self with everything you’ve got, and you will surely be led to your rainbow filled happily ever after.

Free Excerpt from A New Chapter
A New Chapter by Dana Mrkich
DonStar Publishing
Available Now: http://www.danamrkich.com/books/index.html
Available online from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and The Book Depository!
Excerpt from Chapter 2: A World in Transition
‘So long, and thanks for all the fish.’ – Message from the Dolphins,
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Do you feel like time is flying faster than usual? Do you feel as if
your entire life is being shaken upside down, or that many people
around you are going through unexpected or dramatic life
changes? We can all feel that something is happening on our
planet. Chaotic weather, natural disasters, global unrest and shifts
within our own personal lives are happening more often and more
intensely.
Prophecies from the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus and the
Bible indicate that we are now living in ‘the end times’. Not
necessarily the end of time, but certainly the end of time as we
know it, the end of a cycle. Many of the ancient seers were able to
see so far into the future and then no more. We are coming to a
blank page, the beginning of a new chapter which we are yet to
write. What this new chapter looks like is up to us.
Gregg Braden, a pioneer in bridging the gap between science
and spirituality, offers the theory that our planet has now entered a
geophysical phase predicted millennia ago, a ‘Shift of the Ages.’ (Braden, Gregg , (1997), Awakening to Zero Point: The Collective Initiation,Radio Bookstore Press)
According to this theory, Earth is literally moving toward ‘zero
point magnetic field’, which it’s expected to reach in 2012, the
same time given by the Mayan Calendar. As we move toward zero
point we are experiencing the literal speeding up of time, havoc
with our weather patterns and a transformation of consciousness.
Reaching zero point is a cyclic event, and ancient cultures viewed
them as initiations, a period of great challenge culminating in
profound change. The late visionary Edgar Cayce prophesied that
these times of great global transformation would come. He
foresaw that ‘these changes would not lead to the end of the world,
but, in time, to the dawning of a New Age of hope and community
for all mankind.’ (Edgar Cayce.Org)
Authors David Rippe and Jared Rosen write about this change
in their revolutionary book The Flip-Turn Your World Around (Rippe, David and Rosen, Jared (2006), The Flip-Turn Your World Around,Hampton Roads Publishing, Virginia),
which describes two worlds existing on Earth today. ‘One is an
upside-down world where people feel stressed out, fearful and
powerless … they feel headed towards a hopelessly polluted world
where things like unaffordable healthcare, unethical corporations,
meaningless work, scarcity of resources, and endless war seem
unavoidable. The other is a world that is Right-Side Up. People in
this world know that emotional and spiritual well-being,
meaningful work, natural health, global prosperity, renewable
natural resources, and feeling connected to others is possible.
These people know that their individual choices affect the lives of
everyone else … Humanity stands on a bridge between these
worlds and must make a choice to go in one direction or the other
… Which side do you choose?’
Taking a spiritual or energetic angle, in the years leading up to
2012 Earth and all beings on it are moving into a higher state of
consciousness. That is, where before we were all tuned in to 3D
reality, we’re all now being prepared to be amped up for the 5D
experience, which includes among other things a more balanced
state of being for ourselves and the world, an increase in multisensory
perception, and a greater awareness of that great mystery:
who we really are and why we are here.
Moving into a higher dimension is like switching from standard
free-to-air television to satellite. There are more choices, more
options, more freedom, and our viewing range increases substantially.
Some spiritual seekers are calling this process the Ascension.
Others say we’re moving into the Golden Age. Religious followers
are anticipating the Second Coming while ticking off current
events in the Book of Revelations. Cosmic-minded folk live in
hope that starships from planets more evolved than us will come
and help save us from ourselves. I think they might actually be
considering it – but only once they’re sure we won’t launch a fullscale
missile attack on them! So, for now, it’s up to us.
‘We are the ones we have been waiting for.’ – Hopi Prophecy
By whatever name we want to call these times, humanity is united
in the belief that we are coming to the end of something, and noone
is quite sure how things are going to turn out. Some people
believe our new chapter is called ‘the transformation of humanity’,
while others think it’s going to be ‘the destruction of humanity’.
My vote is on the former. The Mayan Calendar prophecies say we
are in the transition period right now moving from one way of
being to the next, with the official cross-over date happening at the
end of 2012. That is, we have until then to get as many of us as
possible aligned with our preferred new reality, and actively
participating in its creation. We do this simply by being our true
selves. We express our true selves whenever we listen to and
follow our instincts, feel our feelings, speak our truth and
acknowledge all of who we are.
Our true selves are encoded with the exact, right, most perfect
skills and talents, required to create our new chapter. Together we
are the builders, architects, painters, plumbers, electricians,
carpenters, interior designers, decorators and gardeners of our new
world. We are the chefs, entertainers, artists, musicians, writers,
parents, teachers and healers. We have truck drivers dropping off
equipment and people moving the furniture in. Everyone has a role
for the biggest show on Earth. It is a highly organised,
synchronised production. We are the leaders and members of new,
more enlightened forms of government. We are the caretakers of a
highly valued environment. We are the producers and viewers of
empowering, truthful media. We are the guardians who ensure fair
distribution of planetary and financial resources. We are the
developers of creative education, accessible natural healthcare,
natural nutritious foods, sustainable development, and housing that
uses renewable natural resources. We are one humanity, and we
make sure all members of our global family are taken care of.
‘Only those who risk going too far can possibly know how far they
can really go.’ − T.S. Eliot

“A New Chapter is a vision of hope in a world ‘seemingly’ gone mad. Dana Mrkich makes sense of it all with powerful insights, bright spirit and practical advice you can use to herald the consciousness shift taking place within us all. We live in exciting times. A New Chapter can help you make the most of it. If you want a life of joy and fulfillment this book is for you.” – David Rippe, Author of The Flip-Turn Your World Around, Founder and President Celestia International.
“It is a rare and thus remarkable achievement to have one’s head in the heavens and one’s feet firmly on the ground, to synchronize one’s walk and talk so they are a single, beautiful expression of passion and vision. Dana Mrkich has achieved this — in her life and in her wonderful new book, which is a guidebook to a future we have yet to create. What shall we do with our beckoning tomorrow? Read, be inspired, and then get to work! Dana is truly one of Australia’s global citizens and emissaries of personal and cultural transformation.” - Robert Rabbin, Author of five books including Igniting the Soul at Work: A Mandate for Mystics, International Executive Coach and Consultant, Keynote Speaker, Workshop Leader, Counselor and Creator of RealTime Speaking.
“Full of insight and practical spiritual wisdom, A New Chapter will help you transform your thinking and conditioning to perform true miracles in your life and in the lives of others.” - Ariadne Green, author of Ariadne’s Book of Dreams, and Divine Complement
“There are more and more of us worldwide looking for books like this one. We are the ones looking for ways to come out with our own truth, our own inner knowing of what’s good, decent and right, and what we don’t want to put up with anymore in our society, in our humanity or in our selves. A New Chapter sets the stage to encourage us to live our own truth. By describing some of humanities foibles that we may have been blind to, the author then wisely shows us the answers that can come from the strength of our own hearts. Within every one of us lies this unique and authentic being that wants to come out, that wants to stand in the light of our Soul or what author Dana Mrkich calls our essence. She carefully makes her case and promises us: “Being your true essence will allow you to finally live with the peace, wholeness and fulfillment you so seek, desire and deserve.” I found this promise to come true on every page of A New Chapter.” - Barbara Harris Whitfield, RT Author and therapist, Author of Spiritual Awakenings, Co-Author of The Power of Humility
“This book left me with a glorious sense of empowerment, and excitement about being alive at such a crossroads for the earth's and humanity's progress. Many people are lost as to what they can do to help the problems in the world that are all too visible - this book offers the answer and guides us through its call to action. All anyone wants to do is to make a difference, and the book show us how we can do that. Dana speaks from her own personal experience in every point she makes, lending the book potency and weight of relevance and truth.
This book's message is simple yet revolutionary; a joy to read, while offering a powerful solution to our thirst for peace, always taking into account and celebrating the way our minds work, often to sabotage, and potentially to heal. It puts the onus back on us as individuals to help create the world we want, and makes us responsible and accountable. And it makes us know that it is possible. That we can do it, and embrace it, and that it can happen in our lifetime. How insatiably exciting!" – Desanka Vukelich, Freelance Editor

This book's message is simple yet revolutionary; a joy to read, while offering a powerful solution to our thirst for peace, always taking into account and celebrating the way our minds work, often to sabotage, and potentially to heal. It puts the onus back on us as individuals to help create the world we want, and makes us responsible and accountable. And it makes us know that it is possible. That we can do it, and embrace it, and that it can happen in our lifetime. How insatiably exciting!" – Desanka Vukelich, Freelance Editor

February Energies
What’s Happening this Month : February 2008
Understanding Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality,
written by Dana Mrkich.
The Calling
“Roll up, Roll up, come inside for the Greatest Show on Earth!” From the distance you can hear the ringmaster as he calls everybody inside the tent. Your heart starts to pound with excitement, your body has adrenalin coarsing through it. You start to run, not knowing exactly where you are going, only following the sound of this booming, alluring voice that is calling you toward it. You make a turn left, oops no, the voice just faded. You turn right, ahhh, there it is again, “This way, this way, this way,” it says.
You find yourself leaving behind people, jobs, relationships and perhaps even locations that were once dear to you, all in the name of following this call. You may not even know what the call is, only knowing that something is calling you. People might even be calling you crazy for following a something that has yet to show itself, prove itself or even reveal itself. Yet still you must go. Still you must follow the calling.
With Mars turned direct on Jan 30, and every day picking up pace, we are feeling a relentless surge forward. Onward and upward we are being carried, like surfers on a wave. Some are moving too fast for their liking, others too slow, yet we are all moving at the most perfect right pace for our individual, and collective, reality.
The Solar Eclipse hits us on February 7 (17 degrees Aquarius), or February 6 for those in the US. Like a bucket of water being splashed on our face, we will be awakened, invigorated and revived by the events of the coming days. Any course corrections in your path will happen naturally, with very little of your conscious doing. If the eclipse is hitting your chart you’ll find the coming few months life-changing. Even if not much happens on the day, you’ll usually find in hindsight that the seeds for whatever ends up happening were being planted this week so pay attention to whatever is happening around you right now – it’s very significant!!
The Solar Eclipse this year coincides with the Chinese New Year, marking the start of the Year of the Rat. Rats are known for being hardworking, ambitious and shrewd. They are also very clever and sociable. It is the first animal in the 12 year cycle so Rat years are also associated with fresh starts and new beginnings. Seeing as 2008 is a 1 Year in numerology, it seems there’s no getting away from the fact that this year is all about heading in new directions, starting new projects, thinking and acting in new ways, and leaving the old and the past behind!
The more emotionally inclined Lunar Eclipse is on 21 February (1 Degree Virgo) or the 20th in the US. Prepare to let go of any emotion, habit, belief, pattern or behaviour that is born of rigidly holding on to something that no longer serves you or suits you – the new you that is, or rather the True You.
Which brings me to a message I received this week during meditation from my guides, the ones I call my Star Elders. They have been talking a lot lately about the authentic or true self. With regards to the desires we all have about moving as quickly and as easefully into our destinies, they had this to say about why we often don’t head where we want to go, or take unnecessary detours: “It is often about the mis-alignment between what you say you want, and the thoughts you think and actions you take on a day to day basis. If you are saying you want to head in one direction, but all your thoughts and actions are supporting another direction, then of course you aren’t going to end up at the desired destination! Now this conflict may be sabotaging you, under orders from the Ego. Or it may be serving you under orders of your True Self, guiding you away from desires that you think you want but actually aren’t in your best interests.”
So, if there is something you are wanting but not getting sit down and have a think about it. Is this something an ego desire, something that deep down you actually don’t really want? If so, what’s beneath that desire? If you are desiring a Ferrari but not getting one, and in reality probably don’t really, really want one, what is it that this Ferrari dream represents to you? Success? Financial Freedom? Those are the things to be desiring.
If the something is a True Self desire, which of your thoughts and actions are holding you back? Why are you letting them? Are you trying to protect yourself from something by holding yourself back? Fear of failure? Fear of success? Fear of ridicule? Fear of putting yourself out there in case you are rejected?
This month make things easy for yourself and just make a declaration to the Universe: I now align my thoughts, words and actions with my true self and deepest, true desires, for the highest good. Please guide my body, mind, heart and soul to the direction, work, relationships, location and life that is my best possible path. As a result of continually affirming this, all that is not in alignment will naturally leave or it will be made very clear to you that it needs to. Likewise all that is in alignment will come to you, or you will magnetically feel called toward it. Such is the way of energy.
Onward and upward! Have a fabulous February!
Many blessings,
Dana
