September 2012 Monthly Visions: Keeping the Faith (by the tips of our fingers!)



September 2012 Monthly Visions: Keeping the Faith (by the tips of our fingers!)

When women find out they’re pregnant they are given a due date, even though a full term pregnancy is considered anywhere from 38-42 weeks and only about 5% of women give birth on their due date. As a woman approaches that date she often starts to feel a sense of excited anticipation mixed in with anxiousness about the birth. If she goes over her due date a whole plethora of other feelings start to come up: what if she doesn’t go into labour naturally? Is everything okay with the baby?  She’ll usually start to receive a lot of pressure from other people to induce, even though she actually has not yet reached full term. At the most extreme end some women are even told that their body isn’t capable of birthing this baby naturally, even though that is only true for a very small percentage. This pressure is not helpful and adds extra unnecessary stress to what is already a very emotional, challenging time and to what also should be a very sacred, joyful time. For this reason, it would be fantastic if women were give a due ‘window’. Women could relax into their due month in a more easeful way than having their, and other’s, expectations all piled into one set pressure-laden date.
            This is what 2012, and particularly 21 December 2012, has become. One big fat due date looming over everyone with a crazy amount of pressure. What on earth is going to happen if we wake up on 22 December and ‘nothing’ happened?  What if we wake up and humanity is still pregnant as it were, with no signs of the birth of a new world?  Well, it wouldn’t be true that we’d have no signs. Just like a woman heading into her last days of pregnancy most definitely has signs that birth is imminent one way or another, we too are experiencing signs that we’re on the brink of a massive quantum leap in our human story.  However, also like the woman, we too are having natural moments of feeling like we are going to be ‘pregnant’ forever, like this ‘birth’ is never going to happen, and it is taking all our strength to trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should be, exactly on time.
            Perhaps it would have been a good idea to have a ‘window’ of time heralding this transition rather than so much focus on one date.  This isn’t an attempt to deliver news that this shift isn’t going to happen, nor is it one of those broadcasts saying oh yes it is happening but it’s actually going to happen in 2014...2020....2356.  Humanity IS shifting and with so many people collectively feeling the same way, receiving the same messages, having the same insights, I think we can all agree that yes, we are most definitely ‘pregnant’ and yes the birth of a new chapter for us all is happening. What is unknown at this point are the details, the when, the how, the what.  We can have ‘practice labour contractions’ (all our current up and down emotions) and we can view ultrasounds (have visions) all we like, but I think until we see something mind-blowingly extraordinary we are like that pregnant woman who on some small level doesn’t actually believe she is having a real-life baby until it is born and then she finds herself saying over again ‘oh my god, it’s really a baby!’.
            In the grand scheme of things, we’re in the last days of a 26, 000 year cycle. In pregnancy terms we’re in the last few minutes before midnight of the due date. Of course all our fears are coming up. Of course we are starting to worry and doubt that it will happen on time, if at all.  Of course we are placing a huge amount of pressure on one date to deliver massive change.
            This period of time is going to test our inner faith like never before. Not our faith in a religion or in something we’ve read or heard or even in a calendar. For most of us the insights, feelings and knowings we have had about this time have come from within – confirmed by external sources that align with what we feel inside sure – but at the end of the day, those external sources have only confirmed, validated, triggered and awakened what has always been inside us. So what many of us are feeling now, in between contractions, in between moments of trust and clarity and joy, are moments of a crisis of faith. What if all we have believed about why we are here is not true? What if we are not going to experience a quantum leap of change in our lifetime? What if humanity keeps bumbling along, making small steps of progress here and there, but nothing like the massive shift we have always envisioned? What does that mean for us?  We’re asking ourselves: “What does that mean for my personal self...who in the heck am I then and what in the heck am I even doing here?” This is pretty much what a lot of people are thinking and feeling right now.
            Okay, so let’s go there for a second. Does this theory make any sense at all? Does it make sense that you always intuitively knew something that you read about years later, a knowing that was shared by others, by indigenous elders, by ancient prophecies, for that only to be some unrelated co-incidence? Does it make sense that every bone in your body is telling you we cannot go on how we have been going, for it to go on in the same way?
            Many people say it would take a miracle for things to change on this planet. But actually no, it wouldn’t take a miracle. What it would take is for truth to be revealed. The new ways we have imagined are not science fiction inventions for some future generation to witness. They are real, already existing, only hidden from us for far too long. The problems we face as a humanity are not without a solution – only the solutions have not been possible as long as we’ve been told ‘there isn’t a cure for that’ or ‘we don’t have the money to help’ when in actual fact there are plenty of cures and there is plenty of money – only not in the right hands. Interestingly enough, as I’ve shared before, the word Apocalypse that has been associated with these times in such a doom and gloom way actually means ‘that which was hidden to be revealed’.  Now that sounds liberating and empowering, far from doom and gloom.
            Imagine a huge gigantic bubble. Now imagine a much smaller, tiny bubble, floating around within that gigantic bubble. The gigantic bubble represents our greater reality, filled with all that is possible AND all that exists right now - not in an energetic potential sense but in a physical, literal sense. Cures to health issues and clarity around the causes, free energy technology, teleportation portals, access to other dimensions, sustainable housing, access to free, clean water for all and so much more. The smaller bubble contains humanity - oh how it contains us.
Once upon a time there were a handful of people among that humanity, flailing their arms about. They could see through the bubble to the greater bubble. Then more people joined them, they shouted and shared their knowledge but they were told they were crazy, or imprisoned or burned at the stake. Right now millions of people are rocking that bubble with every ounce of their strength, arms and legs pushing wildly. People have had enough of being contained, enough of the restrictions and limitations, enough of being deceived and lied to by those who do know about the greater bubble, those who think humanity 'isn't ready' for the truth.
The anger, the passion, the despair and frustration you are feeling now is coming from both exhaustion about the fact humanity is still in this bubble, and your knowledge of what lays available beyond it. The bubble IS ready to burst so keep the rocking going!! Now is not the time to sob that we've had enough. Everyone has a different job so whether yours is to focus on a better vision for the world or get out there and do something positive, it's all good. It's time for all the rebels, the warriors, the mothers, the fathers, the children, the awakened ones, the lightworkers, the truthseekers, to declare our collective right to the greater reality. THAT is our new world.
Many are feeling a sense of disillusionment as we approach this looming ‘due date’ in front of us. For many, we’ve always known that how life is here is not how it is meant to be. For others, that knowing has gradually awakened. We’ve seen people working in jobs they hate, struggling financially, suffering with their health, unhappy emotionally, and we see a very different potential that we know we are here to create in our lifetime.  We’ve seen that the systems in place here – politics, media, education, medicine, housing, social care – are upside down and back to front. Nothing makes sense. It doesn’t make sense that we can find money for wars but there are constant budget cuts in health and education.  It doesn’t make sense that whistleblowers from governments, military, banking and corporations are pressured to keep quiet or are ignored, meanwhile the media is reporting the latest Hollywood divorce!  Well it does make sense when you know that things have been set up to serve a few at the expense of the many, but the many are waking up now and we are shaking that bubble!
Yes there has been change. Yes there has been progress. Yes there are millions more awakened people now than twenty years ago or even two years ago. Yes there is more consciousness around certain issues. I think that what has kept us hanging in there is knowing that a great shift will occur in our lifetime and in the recent years really starting to see signs that it’s actually happening. Yet at the same time something that’s causing our deepest heartache right now is: What if it doesn’t happen on as grand a scale as we’ve envisioned? THAT is our greatest fear. Yes, we all knew that in these times all our fears would come up so we made sure to clear as much as we could! Fear of lack – cleared! Fear around commitment – cleared! Fear around the Shift and all it might be bring? – cleared and prepared and ready to do whatever we’ve got to do!  But what we may not have prepared for is the fact that three months out from the ‘due date’ we are waking up to what on the mainstream television? Really crap reality shows and news media that are all reading off the same script.  More and more people are switching off from that, and thank goodness we have loads of alternative, amazing, conscious news sources to choose from now but I don’t want to apologise for saying it’s time for more!
We didn’t mind gradually chipping away at this thing. Working on our inner growth,  being of service however we felt called to do. We didn’t mind when others didn’t understand us or ignored us or ridiculed us. There was a light at the end of the tunnel, right? Right?
Yes life is one constant evolution. Yes change takes time. However, why is it then that so many of us, millions in fact, all have this burning knowing within us that we are here to witness and take part in MAJOR change. Not just your regular turn of the decade change, but major quantum leap total change and social reform for this planet and humanity. Change for the better.
I think most awakened people have a very philosophical view of life. Que sera sera what will be will be. This is a great attitude to have, although we also need to remember that we are all powerful co-creators and what will be will be whatever we want it to be. So what do we want it to be? Your vision right?  You can bet that the old, let’s call them the powers that WERE, are not sitting around with a que sera sera attitude. They know the power potential of these times. They know the significance of the due date. They know we’re at a turning point, a fork in the road. And you can bet their policy is not: what will be will be. You can bet that they are pulling every trick and ritual out of the book right now to make sure that what will be is what they want it to be. Even though what they want isn’t good for the earth or good for 99% of people here. Even though what they want is not sustainable, neither physically nor energetically, moving as we are into a higher frequency. We have everything on our side. The whole Universe is supporting us. The sun is supporting us, as challenging as the solar flares and eruptions may be emotionally and physically and on our power grids, it is helping us shift from artificial sources of power to authentic sources of power on every level. The galactic alignments are supporting us. The higher energies we are moving into are supporting us. We couldn’t fail now if we tried, well let’s not test that, but you know what I mean.  
I’m seeing this vision of millions of humanity trying to push a giant barrel over an obstacle. We get into a rhythm of push, push, and then it rolls back a little. So again, push, push and again it rolls back. We are at the point of wanting to give up and admit defeat. Imagine yourself in that vision. You know what it’s going to take don’t you? Momentum. The momentum of push, back, push, back, push, back, push, push, push, back and then big push woooshka, over the obstacle it goes.  Even though we’ve broken out in a sweat for hours (lifetimes) trying to get this thing over, we’re in a bit of stunned shock once it’s actually happened! Next thing you know the barrel is rolling down the hill at accelerated speed and everyone is running after it shouting woah, not so fast!!! Haha, won’t that be funny. Change will finally come, and it will come in such a massive, accelerated way that we’ll all be saying oh my gosh, this is all happening rather fast isn’t it! Something tells me we won’t be complaining though.
                There has been a huge sadness and grief feeling in the air lately. It's being felt by some as a 'what's the point' energy, a boredom with what you're doing, and a sense of disillusionment. We are living through the end of a 26000 year cycle and we are at the dawn of a new cycle. We are not educated about this in our schools. We are not taught what to expect by our media. We are not prepared for the emotional impact by our families or communities (for the most part).
We are all collectively experiencing a myriad of emotions born out of both the ending of what has been, and the step forward into the unknown. It can feel overwhelming, confusing, challenging and frustrating. We have never experienced this before, in this same way, with this amount of people on the planet. No-one knows exactly how it will play out, but we all know what we are feeling on a daily basis, and it is by sharing our feelings and experiences that we can help and support each other through these times, one day at a time.
Memories are also coming up of a recent 'end of cycle' period - Atlantis - (not a 26 000 year end of cycle, that was an end of 5125 year cycle) where things did not go as we'd hoped. So our memories associate cycle endings with failure, disappointment, grief and destruction. It does not have to be this way this time, and I believe it won’t be this way this time. I feel we have made a collective decision to choose unity, peace and harmony on this planet this time. This is what the majority want. But it is a big job getting those old memories out of the way!! They can feel suffocating! Ask for the old memories from Atlantis that are no longer serving you to be released now.  Let’s co-create Heaven on Earth already!
Now is the time to remember you are a powerful creator. Now is the time to remember our laws of attraction and manifestation. Now is the time to remember what you have always known somewhere deep inside you about who you are, why you are here and what you came here to help create. Empty your mind of all the conflicting messages you’ve received about these times and fill your heart with what you know to be true. What is your vision for our Earth? Fill your heart with that vision then follow your heart. That is all.

All Aboard Ship 2013 – No Baggage Allowed


All Aboard Ship 2013 – No Baggage Allowed

The energy excavation bulldozers have moved in and they mean business! They are going deep down into the depths of our being to clear out any remaining stubborn, emotional gravel.  You may be experiencing this as extreme heaviness, then extreme resistance, extreme anger, extreme irritability, extreme impatience, extreme frustration, extreme oh aha lightbulb moment, extreme giddy joy, extreme happiness, extreme gratitude, extreme higher perspective wisdom, followed by oh no more extreme heaviness etc etc. It’s all happening, and it’s happening in no particular order of one emotion running into the other. All you know is that it’s happening, it’s unpredictable, the jackhammer hasn’t stopped drilling in days (weeks? all year?) and you wish it would shoosh up already!! But bless Jack the jackhammer because he is under special orders from the future You that exists in 2013 and beyond:  To You and all you know, it’s All Aboard Ship 2013 – No Baggage Allowed.
            Whenever we do any major renovation overhaul whether it’s cleaning the garage or demolishing a building, there is always plenty of dust and mess involved. Well so too we are all undergoing our renovation overhauls and likewise we are standing in the midst of plenty of our own dust and mess right now.  Actually it’s not all dust and mess, it’s more “Oh wow so much dust, big broom sweep, ooooh ooooh super clear super clean, I see myself clearly now, and boy do I see others clearly, oh I think I’m done shift..oh no, oh no, more dust, oh really? Father stuff again? Really? Really? Okay chat to inner child, polish the mirror, okay that’s better, clear again, wooooh, I’m home freeee....what’s that? Inner feminine wants a word? She has needs? Oh man....sorry, I mean, Oh woman!”
            Yep it’s all coming out now, thick and fast. Ready or not.  In fact, so thick is this dust and mess and clearing process right now that we are alternating between not being able to see outside ourselves very clearly at all, or anything we do see is being seen through the filter of our dust and mess, and on the other hand seeing others so clearly we feel like they are literally see-through. Then again, we could be seeing them via our dust and mess filter, so we can’t be sure if we’re really seeing them or seeing ourselves through them. It’s all starting to feel like a big dream where we wake up and say “Hey I dreamt there were all these people around me, but then their faces started changing, and I looked around, and everyone was me!.”   Strange dream huh...
            In this dream that’s actually your life, and in this life that’s actually your dream, (dizzy yet?  A LOT of people are with you if you are...literally dizzy that is), your emotions are being triggered and heightened like crazy and you may find yourself responding in a really over the top way to people and situations around you. They may not even be doing anything, but you feel they’re doing something. You think they’re doing something. Or not doing something. Or not doing enough. Either way, it’s really annoying you.  If you’re having a good day, you may have stopped yourself before letting them have it, and taken a step back to ask yourself hmmm, what’s really going on here? What you’ll find is that ‘they’ may as well not even exist because really your issue is not with them, it is with yourself. And yourself has taken a trip back from the future to trigger you via someone else not acting how you think they should, or some situation not unfolding as you’d hoped it would, to get you to look at something that needs transforming asap prior to boarding the good ship 2013.
            You’ll probably find that it’s an old belief or myth you’ve held about yourself or reality that is not only no longer serving you, it is not compatible with where you’re going and it goes under the ‘no baggage allowed’ category. Just to clarify, when I say we’re all going somewhere and boarding a good ship, I’m not talking about being saved by people from other planets or ascending up into the sky. I’m talking about our vibrational move, our perspective shift, our emotional/spiritual graduation into our next phase of evolution.  We’re all aboard the good ship Earth and it’s with her that we’re going wherever we’re going as a transformed humanity. Doubting transformation at this point? Well the thing is, Earth is shifting into a higher vibration, and we all have to shift with her. She’s not really asking us if we’re done with the old reality yet. We’re all along for the ride ready or not!
            It is time to stand strong by the reality you know in your heart and cells to be true, for example I am loved, I am always supported, I do receive all that I need,  good things are happening, and when you hear that pesky little voice trying to convince you otherwise it is a matter of strength and belief in some greater you to say to the doubting you, “I don’t believe you anymore.”  It’s not easy and at first you probably don’t even feel like you really believe that you don’t believe in your doubting self anymore. It’s a daily practice, that becomes habit, that gradually shifts how you feel, that translates into actions, that influences what you attract and how you perceive what you attract, and eventually you find that you do believe it. And as we all know we see what we believe.
That has never been more true than it is now, and that truth is increasing in strength by the day – hence why Jack the jackhammer is being so diligent in his job. As the content of our energy bodies increases in vibration, it increases its ability to be felt by us, and to manifest in our lives as the physical equivalent. So you want to be conscious and aware of the content of your energy bodies, and you want to clear out anything that no longer belongs there. The energy excavation bulldozers are making it easy for us. As challenging as it is to be facing in your face inescapable emotions and situations, it is far more challenging to have to dig for years in the dark to try and work out what your issues might be – as many of us know who spent years digging.  The quicker you acknowledge whatever it is they are so obviously shovelling in front of you, the quicker they will move on and leave you with a new clear you.

August 2012 Monthly Visions: Solar Flare Havoc and Heaviness


August 2012 Monthly Visions: Solar Flare Havoc and Heaviness

We’re ducking and weaving between solar flares right now faster than an Olympic boxing champion, but all that ducking and weaving is to no avail. We’re getting hit with wave after wave of electromagnetic energy which doesn’t always feel that great, but the clearing and shifting these waves trigger IS great so next time you find yourself crying ‘Oh no, not another flare!’ know that they are facilitating much inner and outer transformation.
A series of flares over the past week has left us feeling extremely tired physically and emotionally. You may have felt like crawling back into bed at random times of the day not just because you’re exhausted but because there’s a bit of ‘What’s the point of anything?’ energy about right now.
Every flare seems to be coming with its own unique flavour and message. The one we experienced on Saturday 30 July was a particularly difficult one for many. It felt like an intense wave of alone-ness and loneliness, a blanket of heaviness, a feeling of flatness, feeling like you're an isolated island disconnected from anything or anyone. Time may have dragged on forever as if it was going in slow motion. You may have had an urge to do whatever it is you do when it all gets a bit much whether that's head for the tub of icecream or crawl into bed and hide under the doona/comforter/duvet. If you felt like this, know that you are not alone - there are millions of people going through this with you, not to mention your soul support team 'upstairs'!
We are not alone but we all have to experience certain parts of this life journey on our own: no-one can feel our feelings for us, no-one can embody our awakening on our behalf. The flare on that last weekend of July felt like we were in a void of 'aloneness', which may have triggered panic attack like symptoms or anxiety. We were experiencing a very intense blast of confrontation with our 'on our own-ness'. It acted to clear some of our old illusion reality/old wounds around being 'on our own/alone' by triggering old emotions out of the blue including old feelings of being left out, abandoned, ignored, disregarded, forgotten, not considered or not supported.
The flare brought up a lot around “I have to do it all on my own" (and feeling burdened/resentful/sad/angry etc about having to do everything on your own, shouldering the bulk of financial obligations on your own, or family responsibilities or whatever it is).  If you relate, ask yourself if you feel you receive the support you need?  It is time to let go of any old ' I have to do it on my own' stuff, and replace it with "I hand all this to Source energy (or whatever word you want to use) and trust in Source to help me, to support me, to provide all I need, to be there for me, I don't want to do it on my own anymore, and thanks to Source energy I actually don't have to."  As you say this (and feel it/believe it) you may feel a literal lightening of your load around your neck, shoulder and back areas, where many of us are holding tension specifically related to the issues that have come up lately.
This “have to do it all on my own” energy can also manifest as feeling like you are supposed to ‘have it all together’, feeling like you’re not supposed to show emotion or express anything other than happy sunshiney positivity.  There is a huge misconception, not only in our mainstream society but also amongst the ‘spiritual’ peeps that so called negative emotions are bad, and something to be avoided at all cost. Smiling through a difficult inner experience, when you really and truly aren’t feeling happy, can be just as debilitating as self-medicating with drugs and alcohol.  How so? When we repress what we are feeling, we are essentially judging something within us as ‘bad’, when actually it is a powerful messenger trying to get our attention. When we continually ignore our inner messengers they have to find more and more obvious ways to get our attention – hello shoulder and neck pain, hello chronic illnesses, hello physical body symptoms that we’d rather not experience.
This isn’t to say forget the positive attitude.  Our heart (and emotional body) is not a black and white system. Our heart and emotional body is a rich rainbow filled with a myriad of colours and feelings. Awakening to greater consciousness allows us to be aware of more of our full spectrum. Within that spectrum are the many facets of who we really are, and as we grow in consciousness we realise that we can experience multiple facets simultaneously. We don’t have to fear going into any of these facets because we know we are not just that facet, we are more than just that feeling, we don’t feel our identity is suddenly restricted to just that aspect of ourselves.  Knowing this, we feel safe and free to express ourselves more authentically. Ironically, owning our ‘shadow’* ultimately leads to our wholeness and inner unity consciousness governed by the heart, while putting horse blinkers on to feel only that which is within our comfort zone can keep us stuck in the old reality of duality consciousness, governed by the mind.  Long story short – feel your feelings and be true to your whole self without self-imposed restrictions or judgements.
You’ll notice a lot of ‘self-imposed’ stuff is being released right now (and really, everything is ‘self-imposed’), including old beliefs around how we think we should be, what we thought we should be doing with our lives, who we thought we were and so on.  Our attachment to these and other stories are going, going, gone.  In their place will be a new story, or no story, or a blank story yet to be written – either way it can feel vulnerable and dishevelling to be standing there energetically naked having no conscious idea of who you are anymore. Think of it like an old coat that is being removed to reveal a sparkling outfit underneath, but you have been with that coat for so long that to be without it is, at first, completely disorientating to your sense of self and identity.  (We touched on this in July’s Monthly Visions: The deconstruction of who we thought ourselves to be.) It is normal and natural to have bouts of grief and confusion come up – we are saying goodbye to so much of who we thought we were, and even though from our higher self perspective we know it’s time to say goodbye, from our human self perspective it can bring up a lot of different emotions.
Another energetic influence prevalent right now is the one of expectation, whether on ones self or on another, and deep disappointment when you or others fall short of the mark.  When we say fall short of the mark, we really mean the mark that has been self-imposed by you, who knows when for who knows what reason. This ‘mark’ may have once served as a healthy benchmark or standard of behaviour, but there comes a time for all things when that which has served us starts sabotaging us once it has served its purpose.  This is a good time to ask yourself are you holding others in an old or false mould that doesn’t actually fit them (causing tension between you)? Are you needing or wanting others to be something that they can’t, or don’t want, to be (creating anger, hurt or frustration for yourself)? When we do this, we are placing the power of how we feel in someone else’s hands. When we want someone to act a certain way so that we can feel better, it’s a good sign of ‘wrong way go back!’.  This doesn’t mean we have to like what they’re doing or not doing. It does mean we need to make some decisions around how we choose to respond.
The difficulty with lots of relationships now is there is a huge vibrational gap between many people. It’s like we’re all in our own Willy Wonka great glass elevator that goes up and down, forward and back, sideways and every which ways. So in any given moment you may or may not be on the same vibrational level as your parent/friend/partner/family member/work colleague. This has always been true to a degree, but whereas before the different vibrational levels were able to interact a bit more fluidly, now it is becoming almost impossible. As a result people who are not on your vibrational level, or on one that is not compatible with yours, are either not going to be able to be in your physical reality for a while (or anymore), or if you are in the same room you’ll feel quite uncomfortable, there’ll be an unnecessary argument or other such tension. This ‘vibrational gap’ thing is tricky business because again on our higher self level it makes complete sense why some people just can’t be in our lives right now – if their vibration is not in harmony with ours (or vice versa) the two just can’t meet any more than oil and water can merge. So in that sense, if someone has dropped out of your life you may be being protected from an unpleasant interaction that really doesn’t have to happen. Yet on a human level we don’t always know that these vibrational gap type laws exist, and even when we do know it can be hard to be with the reality that someone you used to care about is no longer in your life, or is not acting in the same way you would with a given situation. It is very much time for a ‘live and let live’ philosophy. People have to do what they have to do right now, even if you can’t understand it or relate to it one iota.  Easier said than done, yet done it must be all the same.
It is increasingly a time of letting go of any pressure or expectation you have on not only others, but also yourself because there is just SO much shifting right now it can be very hard to have a set goal and expect yourself to reach that goal for the simple reason that some other course of events may have much more potential to awaken/heal/transform something in you that is next in the queue for awakening/healing/transformation.  Years ago we had more time and flexibility to deviate and detour from awakening opportunities. Now, time is of the essence. If something is scheduled for shifting, you can be pretty sure it will happen in days or weeks rather than months or years. We all have a greater higher goal that is much more important than our seemingly very important conscious goals.
We can all feel this sense of urgency now. Some of us have felt it almost our whole lives, but it’s been very personal. Now we can see it in almost everyone and everything around us. We can all feel that something is happening, something huge is about to happen, and we know that we were born to be a part of it. This year has been torturous for many because we feel like we’re waiting for something, but we aren’t really clear on what will happen exactly, or when, or if it will be one massive thing, or many huge things (aside from the constant daily big things). Certainly all signs are showing that a perfect storm is brewing made up of calendar dates, solar flares, cosmic alignments, prophecies, earth changes and unprecedented man-made crises. I asked my peeps upstairs, the always wise star elders, what they could share to help everyone who is beyond frustrated with this ‘waiting’ feeling. They said “You will all be needed after the great revealing. There will be much confusion and shock as people realise reality is not what they believed it to be. Even though what IS, is much greater and more wonderful than what they believed WAS, it will still take time to digest and absorb, to recover from the shock of the collapse of all that they believed to be true, to realise that they are now staring at another truth, one that they never would have imagined. Yet at the same time they will remember the truth of what they are seeing, and they will wonder, how did I forget this? All of you will feel this to lesser or greater degrees. Those of you who are less shocked will be of great support to those who are more shocked. Some of you will snap out of any remaining sleep relatively quickly. Some will take longer than others to come out of their sleepy haze, but all will be as you all are upon waking in the morning, rubbing their eyes, seeing clearly for the first time, and it will not be easy for everyone.”
This sounds like the gradual process of awakening we have been on for lifetimes, but they are very clear that ‘the great revealing’ will be an event within the overall ‘revelations’ period we are in right now, and that the ‘coming out of sleep’ that they are referring to will affect everyone and be directly related to this particular event. What is this event? Well, in my experience the elders tend to share as much information as they feel is needed for now and no more, or perhaps they only share as much as I can, for whatever reason, receive in that moment. So, unfortunately and annoyingly, I don’t know what this event is, but my feeling is that it is related to us suddenly, unexpectedly and extremely quickly, being shown who it is we really are, our galactic history and origins, and the truth of what is actually going on on this planet. It will be the turning point in moving Earth and humanity into our next phase of evolution.
The event could be disclosure, starships appearing everywhere, mass awakening triggered by a cosmic alignment and the resulting downpour of high vibrational energy onto us or none of the above.  Waiting energy is not particularly empowering energy, and one has to be mindful and ask are we being lulled into this waiting energy so that we don’t take action and actually DO something about the state of our planet? So please check in with yourself always and daily affirm that you are always aligned with your best possible self, best possible reality and best possible movement forward. Affirm that you are always in the right place at the right time, and you may also like to affirm that you are always where you can do the most good for the most amount of people.  Be discerning about what you read and hear and see, and always ask yourself: how does this make me feel? Is it true for me, or not?
Back to the solar flares - the energetic effects of regular, strong flares are not only taxing on our emotions but also taxing on our physical bodies. Really, it’s not too different to being pummelled by ocean waves for months on end or experiencing the contractions of labour indefinitely instead of (comparatively) mere hours. This is a very real physical experience that we are all going through, not just an emotional/energetic/spiritual one.  Even our electrical grids are subject to power failures if hit by a big enough geomagnetic storm resulting from a solar flare. Questions are being asked as to whether this was the reason for India’s massive power outages over 30-31 July with 650 million people affected – over half the country, and around 10% of the world’s population! I think this is a good time to say, this is not a fire drill! The fact is, the solar maximum is here, the flares are going to increase in number and strength, and while we have gone through this solar cycle before, we haven’t gone through it with the extreme connection to, and dependence on, power that we currently have.
This isn’t something to fear, it’s something to be practical and prepared about. I’m not talking about building a bunker with 2 years worth of food, rather just think about what you might like to have handy if your family is faced with a power outage for 2-3 days which may include no running water.  This is no longer a potential 2012 scenario, it’s what millions of people have already lived through this year for one reason or another so, as the Scout motto says: Be Prepared!  Friends of ours in the US recently had a 72 hour power outage. Aside from being desperate for a shower by the end, our friend said she didn’t miss the tv/computer/internet/cell phone at all.  It was a welcome break from the external noise we have become so used to. The flares are shifting our perspective, allowing us to go offline for a while, re-connecting us to our natural sources of power vs artificial, and helping us appreciate the little things like a hot shower.  2 Billion people in the world have no access to electricity and almost a billion people lack access to clean, drinking water. Will it increase our sense of connection to our brothers and sisters around the world living in those conditions if we find ourselves experiencing a version of it for days on end regularly? Will the unpredictability of our national power grids trigger more of us to take steps toward an ‘off-grid’ lifestyle? When you feel a flare or read about the Solar Storms as we increasingly will, instead of going into fear or despair ask yourself: If this is here to help us, how is it helping? What message does it have for us?
We are living through a year where every day, and sometimes every hour, will have a different flavour - ranging from extreme wellbeing and clarity to disillusionment and despair and everything in between. Knowing that we have strong energy waves passing through us, for the purpose of clearing debris and raising our vibration, can help us to ride our own personal rainbow rollercoaster, as crazy as it can get some days! Some days you may want to consciously work with whatever is coming up, other days you may just want to take deep breaths till it passes. Everyone will have a different way of getting through these times, it's really what works best for you and that may be different every day! There were some high energy flares mid-July during the Mars/Uranus opposition during which time it was helpful to do very physical and grounded things like running, dancing around or having your feet on the earth. This week it’s maybe more about finding things that are comforting and nurturing for you.
I keep repeating this and will likely continue to but we really just have to breathe through these 'contractions' because there are plenty more coming!! And remember, we are not alone. Not one of us. Not ever.

July 2012 Monthly Visions: The Deconstruction of Who we thought Ourselves to be


July 2012 Monthly Visions: The Deconstruction of Who we thought Ourselves to be

We are currently experiencing the complete deconstruction of who we thought ourselves to be, and the process can feel extremely disorienting even to those who are used to the ongoing shifts within this Great Shift.  A lot of our memories are being wiped from our spheres of conscious awareness and subconscious, specifically memories that are no longer serving us, including many cellular memories that have been held by our physical bodies and many soul memories that have been held by our energetic bodies. These old memories have influenced and thus participated in the creation of our day to day, life to life, realities. The memories are being removed because they have served their purpose, and would be more of a hindrance than a help in our new reality chapters and new reality creation processes. It’s kind of like upgrading to new computer software – the previous version helps to create the new version, but once the new version is ready to go you don’t need to keep the old version on your computer.  You can still of course access any memory any time if you really want to, but they will now more exist in the cosmic storage central library as opposed to your home study.
            Ironically this ‘memory wipe’ of no longer relevant memories is happening as we’re seemingly opening up to more and more of our galactic and authentic self memory. We use the word ‘seemingly’ because technically it is not our memory that is returning, rather it is our awareness that is expanding as we enter higher frequency energy allowing us to access higher states of consciousness that contain information and knowledge we haven’t had access to for a long time. This increase in awareness is of course expanding our previously conceived notions of who we really are and thus contributing to the deconstruction process of who we thought ourselves to be.
            This memory wipe also applies to recent memories (as recent as minutes or hours ago) that have no benefit in staying with us. You may be finding it harder and harder to have any tangible hold on what you used to call ‘the past’. More and more it feels like a dream, some of which you can remember clearly, some of which you can’t remember at all or have to focus really hard to recall.  You may have no recollection of conversations that others insist took place. No, you aren’t going crazy. It is just that our minds are choosing to hold on to less and less these days, particularly that which isn’t relevant to our immediate present. Essentially, that’s what happening – we are moving into the much talked about time of living in the Now. By its very definition Now means no sense of ‘Past’ or ‘Future’ and so this wiping of the memories is an integral part of our arrival into Living in the Now time.
            We assumed that living in the Now meant living in a very calm and blissful state, and it does mean that – but until we get used to it it’s a bit like living without a watch after a lifetime of having one attached to your wrist. You don’t have your usual point of reference to anchor you. We are connecting to a new point of reference, an inner point. Until we get used to that, it can sometimes feel like we’re floating in a bubble not attached to anything in particular. This simultaneously feels really blissful and yet a little bit scary because we’re used to having anchors and attachments and something to hold our reality together. At first we may interpret it as ‘My brain has disappeared’, ‘I can’t focus or concentrate on anything’, ‘I can’t hold my thoughts together/string a sentence together’ and ‘Everything feels so vague and foggy’. This ‘no time’ business is like being an astronaut who has to get used to zero gravity – it’s cool but strange.
As part of this shift into ‘no time’, and as part of the corresponding deconstruction of who we thought ourselves to be, we are being asked to let go of so much of our former identities. If we used to define ourselves by a particular role or job, you can be sure that that role or job is in a state of major change or has been completely removed from your life. Again, there’s the feeling that we aren’t being allowed to hold on to anything external as our point of reference. We are establishing new identities, or rather re-discovering our authentic identities. This doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to have anything external in our lives. We will still have relationships and friends and family, we’ll still have work and activities and interests, but the difference is those things are no longer going to be the sources that define us. We are rediscovering our inner being as the source of who we are, with our external realities being conscious physical expressions of this inner source.
We can no longer ‘fake’ who we are inside by creating an illusion of it outside. If our outer reality doesn’t match what is really going on within us, it will collapse or be forced to transform.  A great example is when someone who has always struggled with money wins millions of dollars, but still has a poverty, lack or ‘I’m not worthy’ mentality. You hear story after story where that person ends up, in a very short time, back to their old situation: broke and in debt.  Who has had the situation where you unexpectedly receive some money, maybe a pay bonus, a lottery win or some other gift, and just as unexpectedly you receive a parking fine or your car breaks down or the oven needs fixing, and the total bill comes to the exact amount of the bonus money you’d just received? On the one hand you might think, wow isn’t the universe great? It must have known this bill was coming because here I am with the bonus money for it! On the other hand you are angry and frustrated because what’s the deal? The second you get some extra cash, out the door it goes! What’s happened is, you received more than your current ceiling ‘limit’ when it comes to what you feel you deserve and rather than use the opportunity to adjust and lift your ceiling, your energy ‘bounced back’ the extra amount much like a bounced check. “We don’t accept amounts over $xyz thanks very much” or “We don’t accept money we haven’t worked hard for and earned” says your energy, and creates a situation that sucks up that extra money – enter the unexpected bill.
            Right now a lot of our ‘ceiling limit’ stuff around money, love and self-worth is coming up because Venus has just turned forward after her recent retrograde journey, and thus she will technically be in what’s known as the shadow period all July as she gets back to the place she was before she started reversing. During the retrograde she let us know where we have held ourselves back, especially in the areas of love and money, specifically related to our levels of self-love, self-worth, self-value and what we truly feel we deserve.   She also highlighted any issues we have around our Divine Feminine, and all the Feminine represents: our creativity, intuition, feelings, expressing our needs, how we feel about ourselves as women (if you are a woman), and how we feel about women regardless of our gender, including any old wounds around our mother and being mothered. Our feminine also governs our capacity to be nourished and nurtured, and our ability to Receive all that we truly need.  Is your basket open and limitless, or do you have self-imposed limits to what you can receive and how you can receive it?
As Venus turned direct last week she wooshed her tail around like a big Mama Dragon, giving us all that final kick up the pants on this topic of Receiving. Any issues you still have with Receiving what you are worth, receiving what you deserve and receiving what you truly need may have been highlighted by a big in your face confrontation with the opposite: Lack thinking, 'not enough' type thoughts, feeling pressured to give more energy/time/money than you feel you have, feeling there's a big hole where there should be a basket full of good stuff. Rather than sit in the hole feeling gloomy, confront it. Ask yourself: why would I create this hole, this lack, this feeling of 'not enough'? Are my thoughts of lack true or do I need to climb aboard the gratitude wagon for all I have? Does my reality tell me I haven't allowed myself to receive, and if so, what false beliefs do I need to ditch and what truth am I being called to uncover about who I really am? Have I settled for less when really I am here to experience more?
            As we all go through this deconstruction process, it is getting harder to hide our truth, from ourselves or others. Ulterior motives are becoming glaringly obvious – this is so visible right now in politics, business and the media, as well as in our personal lives. Unresolved issues long hidden under the carpet are being swooshed out. The more we try to avoid or resist what is ultimately our own authentic self trying to get us to see our own truth and trying to lead us to our own highest path and potential, the longer we draw out the whole process and the more difficult it becomes. Too often, in an attempt to avoid emotions like sadness and grief which so often go hand in hand with realizing certain truths, we end up living with a dormant yet heavy layer of those emotions stuck inside us. If we can find the courage to openly deal with whatever comes our way, we’ll find that while the emotional journey may be harrowing in the moment, we come out the other side stronger, clearer, wiser and faster than we would ever have thought possible.
            There is an interesting air of nostalgia in the air right now, as if we should all be taking pause to realise how special our lives here really are. How blessed we are to have a sun that warms us, an earth that provides for us, fresh, clean air that we can breathe, and water to sustain us. How often do you stop to really take in the gift that is your life? How often do you say thank you for all the blessings that are daily present in your life? This air of nostalgia is a part of the incoming frequency of Appreciation, which is part of a whole bunch of higher frequency energies we’re now moving into. The frequency of Appreciation is gaining in potency, playing its part toward influencing us to start viewing, and living, our lives in a more conscious, heart-centred way. Whether we each have one more day or one hundred more years on this planet, appreciation for what we have has the magical effect of suddenly allowing us to see things from a new perspective, to see situations and people around us with fresh eyes. Appreciation opens and expands our energy, allowing us to receive and create more of all that is good.
            With all this deconstruction happening, new identities and new lives must follow. In recent days many of us have received our new scripts for the times ahead, albeit received during our night time or nap time sleep state. So, we don’t necessarily have any conscious memory of this, nor any ideas as to what our new scripts contain. Our only clue that we might have attended a script meeting recently is finding ourselves feeling an increased state of excitement and anticipation, a greater sense of peace and ease that everything is going to be okay, or, depending on your personal script, an overwhelming passionate feeling that you have to do something about a particular social or global issue. If any of these describe you, know that your new script has been downloaded, and you will do what you need to do at the right time, in the best possible way. Follow your truth and your heart every day, that’s all you need to do, to do what you are next here to do.

Venus Direct: Time to Receive (or time to stop not receiving!)

As Venus turned direct this week she wooshed her tail around like a big Mama Dragon, giving us all that final kick up the pants on the topic of Receiving. Any issues you still have with Receiving what you are worth, receiving what you deserve and receiving what you truly need may have been highlighted this week by a big in your face confrontation with the opposite: Lack thinking, 'not enough' type thoughts, feeling pressured to give more energy/time/money than you feel you have, feeling there's a big hole where there should be a basket full of good stuff. 

Rather than sit in the hole feeling gloomy, confront it. Ask yourself: why would I create this hole, this lack, this feeling of 'not enough'? Are my thoughts of lack true or do I need to climb aboard the gratitude wagon for all I have? Does my reality tell me I haven't allowed myself to receive, and if so, what false beliefs do I need to ditch and what truth am I being called to uncover about who I really am? Have I settled for less when really I am here to experience more?

Current Energies Summary


Current Energies Summary - As Broadcast on Cosmic Vision News

We are experiencing back to back eclipses, transits and alignments this year that are propelling us into unprecedented evolutionary acceleration. As the Earth lines up with these super powerful points in our skies, it is like turning the dial on a safe and when you get the right code, click, the door opens. So, with every alignment this year a doorway has opened, often called a stargate, because it opens the way for a rush of galactic energy from the universe, from other star systems and other dimensions, to flood onto our planet, energy that we haven’t had access to for at least 26,000 years if not longer in this exact same way.  It is not any one alignment on it’s own that is triggering our shift.  However, when we experience a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments – a Solar Eclipse on Alcyone the central sun of the Pleiades, a Venus transit, alignment with the Galactic Centre  – this sets up the conditions that led the ancients to foresee that these times would herald great change upon this planet, a great awakening.   

The galactic energy is coming to us as waves, energy waves and solar waves, that are simultaneously awakening and activating our cells and DNA. Similar to an ocean wave that rushes into shore and back out again, the waves are clearing us of debris. This is happening on all levels – personal, social and global. The process will repeat over and over again until only that which is in alignment with the vibration of our new reality will remain. The new reality vibration is all about authenticity and is heart-based, and we can see as we look around us, within our own lives and around the world, that this process is well underway.  On a global level you can see it most obviously in arenas like politics where the people are taking a stand against controlling dictators and dishonest, corrupt government representatives. People are looking for honesty and transparency in their leaders, and want someone who speaks and acts from the heart. The old ways of working just aren’t going to work anymore, people aren’t responding as they used to!

The May 20/21 Solar Eclipse was a once in 26,000 year event as the Earth, Sun and Moon aligned with our Great Central Sun in the Pleiadian Star System. This stargate is taking us to our next level personally and collectively, flooding our bodies and our planet with the energy of Alcyone - which for many here is the energy of Home. The Alcyone alignment is like someone pressing the right pin code to activate our next phase of remembering. If you have been feeling ‘on hold’, like your old work is gone or on pause but the new is yet to start, you may start receiving strong feelings about what you are supposed to do next, and what you can best do to support our planet and humanity as we turn the corner into a new evolutionary chapter. We will also start to actively experience more of our multi-dimensional abilities including telepathy, magical synchronicity, heightened intuition, a clearer connection with loved ones who have passed on as well as with our non-physical star families and more conscious awareness of why things are how they are.

The Venus transit is about the Divine Feminine awakening. This awakening doesn’t just apply to women. It is about the Divine Feminine in all of us and how we relate to it in our world. So much of that which is ruled by the Divine Feminine has been repressed for so long.  This Venus transit is the Divine Feminine shouting to us: Stop avoiding me, stop denying me, stop ignoring me, referring to our intuition, our feelings, our creativity and living from the Heart.

Many of you have been forced to rest recently due to being low in energy, or getting colds and flu’s for the first time in years. Clearing happens easier when we get out of the way, especially when we are sleeping. With the current clearing process however we have to be careful that we aren’t inadvertently clearing on behalf of people who aren’t owning their clearing process, which can be really difficult for those who haven’t addressed major issues within themselves. People who’ve been on this path for a long time tend to have a ‘healer’ personality, so subconsciously send out vibes saying “I’ll take some of it on for you!”  This is a big no no right now! It is not helping that person, and it is not helping you. We are specifically talking about processing other people’s emotional stuff for them. We do this when we judge others, when we feel ‘bad’ for someone, when we get angry that they are doing xyz instead of abc. Let it go. If you aren’t sure if your physical symptoms are due to your clearing process or someone else’s you can say “If this is not mine please leave, return to your rightful owner”. It is also good to affirm “I am 100% ...say your name...nothing more, nothing less.”

Monthly Visions June 2012: Alignments and Eclipses and Transits oh my!


Monthly Visions June 2012: Alignments and Eclipses and Transits oh my!

We are in the midst of back to back planetary alignments right now that are simultaneously propelling us into a whirlwind of unprecedented evolutionary acceleration and leaving many of us on our backs literally thanks to the resulting clearing process. This clearing process is happening faster and on a deeper level than any we’ve experienced so far. It doesn’t involve pages of journaling or taking yourself off to the nearest healer. It is happening naturally to every aspect of our energy bodies, our physical body, our cells, our DNA and our lives whether we are conscious of it or not, ready or not.  
This is all happening due to a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments, as prophesised to be occurring now by the Mayans, Native Americans and other ancient and modern wisdom keepers. This ‘storm’ is an extremely positive phase of our evolution, yet it is also challenging in the same way that any major leap from one phase of your life to another can be. It requires a new level of maturity, a new level of responsibility and a new level of awareness, triggered by our ascent into a new level of consciousness for the purpose of experiencing a new level of reality.
As Earth experiences one alignment after another this year, it is like the ball in a pinball machine going ping, ping, ping, ping – with each alignment/contact a doorway or portal opens, allowing a rush of cosmic/galactic energy to flood onto our planet, energy that we haven’t had access to for at least 26,000 years if not longer. Just like a poker machine, sometimes you are lucky enough to get a few apples in the same row, or even a few going diagonally or vertically. This ‘perfect storm’ is akin to the apple landing in every space in all directions! Ding ding ding ding ding!! It is the jackpot of all jackpots, so huge in fact that we can’t even possibly conceive right now what it will mean for us.
Imagine a massive king wave that rushes into shore, dragging back out into the ocean loads of debris. It whooshes in and out over and over again, repeating the process, until eventually it stops and there is stillness. As we look around only that which is strong, true and real remains. We are experiencing these waves now, only they are not ocean waves, they are galactic waves and solar waves brought to us thanks to these alignments.  
These waves are clearing our planet, and us, of debris. For those who are feeling completely depressed right now about the state of the world, we are witnessing the uprising of a massive load of debris that was always there only now we are seeing the heightened, amplified, intensified version. As the clearing process happens, this debris is in our face which is an uncomfortable thing, but a good thing. How can we create a new reality if we don’t know what we are dealing with to start with? If there is rubbish hidden under the carpet, it is important to know about it before you go around re-decorating your home.
            This debris is being cleared on all levels: personal, social, global.  These clearings have left many of us literally on our backs over the last couple of weeks, recurring again in these days prior to the Lunar Eclipse and Venus Transit, manifesting as cold and flu symptoms when you haven’t been sick in years, extreme tiredness, body aches and pains and generally low in energy. Clearing can happen easier when we are sleeping or resting, so sometimes we are forced to nap or take it easy (by way of not feeling well) so that whatever energetic work needs to happen can happen without us getting in the way. 
With this current lot of clearings however, only some of it is our personal stuff, and some of it belongs to other people who aren’t owning their own personal clearing process. We are now in the times of needing to be 100% aligned with our higher energies and that can be really difficult for those who haven’t addressed major issues within themselves. The debris some are having to face right now is a bit like a dump truck dumping decades worth of rubbish at their front door. People who’ve been on this path for a long time tend to have a ‘healer’ personality, so subconsciously send out vibes saying “Don’t worry! I’ll help you! I’ll take some of it on for you!”  This is a big no no right now! It is not helping that person, and it is not helping you. Going through our rubbish has strengthened us, it has allowed us to know ourselves, it has been a vital part of our evolutionary process. ‘Saving’ someone from their rubbish is denying them the gold that they will find there.  We are specifically talking about processing other people’s emotional stuff for them. We do this when we judge others, when we feel ‘bad’ for someone, when we get angry that they are doing xyz instead of abc. Let it go.
How do you know whether your aches and pains or tiredness is your stuff or another person’s stuff? Personal clearing ultimately feels nurturing, even if you are stuck in bed with ten boxes of tissues next to you, you deep down know “My body needed this.” You feel like you are letting something flow through you, even if it’s a tad uncomfortable. When you are clearing on behalf of other people it ultimately feels draining and there is a niggling feeling that something doesn’t feel right. It feels like you are resisting something that is trying to flow. If you are not sure at any time, it’s a good idea to ask “if this is not mine please leave/please go back to your rightful owner”. (repeat 100 times if you need to!) It is also good to affirm “I am 100% ...your name...nothing more, nothing less.”

May 20/21 Solar Eclipse
This Solar Eclipse was a once in 26,000 year event as the Earth, Sun and Moon aligned with Alcyone, our Central Sun in the Pleiadian Star System. Aligning with this super high-vibrational star is like turning the dial on a safe and hearing that click as you get the right code and the door opens. This stardoor is taking us to our next level personally and collectively, flooding our bodies and our planet with the energy of Alcyone - which for many here is the energy of Home.
            During the eclipse, and now anytime after it, you may feel your cells tingling and something within you coming alive and awakening. The Alcyone alignment is like someone pressing the right pin code to activate our next phase of remembering. If you have been feeling ‘on hold’, like your old work is gone or on pause but the new is yet to start, you may start receiving strong feelings about what you are supposed to do next, and what you can best do to support our planet and humanity as we turn the corner into a new evolutionary chapter. For some their new mission will not start till 2013, so while that seems forever away knowing this will help any feelings of frustration. This is true for many who have spent years serving others. This is a year of making sure everything is in balance so if you feel you have been given a time out from your work ask yourself: Do I need to serve myself a bit more? Do I need to take care of my Self a bit more? This doesn’t mean more self-help, it more refers to allowing yourself to enjoy life on this planet: have more fun, more time in nature, more time with friends and family, more time doing grounded things like cooking and gardening and creative pursuits for the sheer joy of it. As a result of this alignment we will also start to actively experience more of our multi-dimensional abilities including telepathy, magical synchronicity, heightened intuition, a clearer connection with loved ones who have passed on as well as with our non-physical star families and more conscious awareness of why things are how they are.

June 5/6 Venus Transit
By now everyone will know that on June 5/6 we are going to experience the second half of a once in 114 year Venus transit. They come in pairs eight years apart – the first was in 2004. Venus transits on their own, just like eclipses on their own, aren’t responsible for shifting the entire consciousness of a planet. However, when we experience a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments – an Alycone eclipse, a Venus transit, alignment with the Galactic Centre to name a few – this sets up the conditions that led the ancients to foresee that these times would herald great change upon this planet, a great awakening.  If the Alcyone eclipse was about our souls’ awakening, the pair of Venus transits is about the Divine Feminine awakening. This awakening doesn’t just apply to women. It is about the Divine Feminine in all of us. So much of that which is ruled by the Divine Feminine – intuition, feelings, creativity, birth, the healing arts and living from the Heart – has been repressed for so long. We have collectively been living with an unbalanced Feminine, and a dominating, unbalanced Masculine energy. The process of addressing this balance has already started but after the June 5/6 Transit we will see it accelerate. You can see it now most obviously in arenas like politics where the people are taking a stand against controlling dictators and dishonest, corrupt government representatives. For too long we have shrugged our shoulders with a kind of ‘that’s just how it is in politics’ mentality, but a surge of empowerment is filling humanity, reminding us that this may be how it has been, but it is not how it is supposed to be.  People are looking for honesty and transparency in their leaders, and want someone who speaks and acts from the heart. The old ways of working just aren’t going to work anymore, and this will leave many of the old guard confused because they’ll wonder why people aren’t responding to them as they used to!
            On a personal level, the Venus transit is happening during a Venus Retrograde so it’s a doubly whammy message to ask yourself: What are you worth? How do you treat yourself? How do you allow yourself to be treated? What do you value? Do you spend time on things/people you value, or have you been distracted by the old Masculine energy that came from the head? Note: there is nothing wrong with Masculine energy or using our minds! What is changing now however is the way we related to our (out of balance) Masculine energy that put sole or primary focus on the mind/logic, ignoring our feelings and intuition about what we really want to do.
            2013 and beyond will be about what we really want to do – rather than what we feel we should do, or are supposed to do, or ‘have a mission’ to do. This has obviously already started for everyone who has left jobs, relationships and geographical locations to follow their heart into the great unknown.
            Experiencing all of these alignments can feel a bit like you are standing in front of a giant tunnel with the wind blowing 1000 miles an hour at you - exhilarating yet at the same time it's all you can do to hang on without collapsing. During the Alcyone eclipse they clarified this to say – moving toward your centre feels like 1000 mile an hour winds, moving away from your centre feels like 1000 mile an hour winds, but IN your centre is where you will find your zero point; the stillness, the quiet, the clarity, the uncongested connection to Source. Being in our centre, in our truth, in our authenticity, in our WHOLEness whatever that includes and whatever that looks like, is our sanctuary right now.
