October 2012: Hearts Opening, Birth Push Time and The Divine Feminine Roaring to Life!

Monthly Visions now available with Commentary on You Tube!

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.

They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.

They are messengers of overwhelming grief.... and unspeakable love.” – Washington Irving

Finding yourself crying over the nightly news lately? Feeling the grief and heartache of people you don't even know? Feeling outraged when you hear of someone being abused or bullied or treated disrespectfully (or feeling outraged like never before if these things are happening to you)? Our emotions are set to super high right now as more and more high frequency energy/light floods the planet, intensifying everything. Our inner humanity is awakening, allowing us to truly experience the emotions we need to feel in order to extend ourselves to help the humanity around us.

We are coming to know that as long as any one 'other' is suffering, that is part of us that is suffering, and we will no longer be able to ignore it as something that is happening to another. There is no 'other'.  This is what oneness and unity truly means. We are all pieces of one jigsaw puzzle. If another piece is hurting, we are now feeling that hurt more than ever before.  This is not a time to 'rise above' the emotions. Our emotions of grief, sadness, heartache, anger and frustration are perfect right now because they are telling us: this is not how the world should be, this is not the world we deserve, this is not the world we came here to create. These emotions are creating the catalyst for mass transformation in every area, and platforms like social media are creating the opportunity for people to have a voice, to gather together, and work together to create positive change. 

In Australia last month, tens of thousands of people marched for peace and millions more joined them with their thoughts and tears, after the tragic loss of a beautiful young woman. The public response to the abduction of Jill Meagher and to the subsequent taking of her life, was unprecedented. The whole country it seemed was grieving, with nearly everyone saying “That could have been me/my sister/my girlfriend/my wife/my daughter.” This isn’t the first time that this has happened to someone, but it was the first time that the masses responded in the way that they did. A similar outpouring of collective grief is occurring in Wales for little April Jones.  Hearts are opening and unity consciousness is spreading via those open hearts out to whole communities, whole countries and our whole planet.

For much of this year there has been a cocoon type bubble around us a lot of the time.  Yes, every solar flare and eruption has definitely triggered highs and lows of emotion as we’ve cleared any remaining old issues, yet in between times we’ve had this feeling like we are floating in our reality. In the world but not of it. Observing in a kind of detached way, watching as so much around us unravelled and unfolded, with a very distinct ‘hands off’ feeling, as if we weren’t supposed to get too actively involved in any dramas occurring around us.

For much of 2012 (and 2011 and even earlier for some) we have been in an energy similar to that which is called labour land for women in labour, where you experience a state of deep rest and relaxation in between contractions, almost bordering on hypnosis with no sense of time or space. The solar and cosmic waves are our ‘contractions’, and we have definitely felt those as they’ve squeezed out the remainder of all that is ready to be released and bringing fresh energy to assist the birth of the new.  We have also moved into an energy that is similar to that which is called the transition phase in a woman’s labour – the last stage just before her body is ready to start pushing.  This is known as the most challenging stage, and it’s when many women feel they can no longer go on and think they just can’t do it anymore! Hands up who has felt like that much of this year!!

The days leading up to the September 23 Equinox brought a huge shift in energy and in the weeks following one thing has become apparent: we have finally reached the pushing stage in this process of birthing our new world.  Some people are still in labour or transition, while others reached the pushing stage earlier, but the Equinox surge definitely moved hundreds of millions of people into this next phase.

This will come as a welcome relief to many, because a lot of us experienced the ‘rest’ energy as almost a depressive, numb energy. Projects sat there unattended with a lot of ‘what’s the point’ thoughts going around.  It was paradoxical really. On the one hand we weren’t interested in anything much other than the simplest of things which can be a really joyful, healthy space to live in. However, if you have spent a lot of your life knowing you are here for a reason, or are generally a very work-focused person, always needing to be busy with goals and to do lists, it was hugely disorientating to suddenly feel yourself sliding into a gentler flow, predominantly focusing on very simple matters of day to day life.

This gentler flow felt very peaceful and we received a much needed re-balancing as we moved more into our feminine and heart after lifetimes of being predominantly in the masculine and head. Yet at the same time, for many it was a hugely shocking space to find oneself in, creating a lot of disillusionment for those of us who’d spent almost their whole lives waiting for this time in our lives. Here we were in 2012 and rather than jumping up and down with excitement, or getting busy with action galore, we almost felt like we’d been retrenched from our services one minute before showtime. We began to wonder, is there even a showtime? Is this whole thing just a fantasy I dreamed up to get me through this life?  

For some this gentler flow felt very uncomfortable in other ways. It is uncomfortable to move deeper into your feminine and into your heart if you are used to living predominantly from your mind and masculine energy.  To clarify, masculine energy is not the bad guy here, pardon the pun!  Our energy seesaw has been out of balance, with the masculine dominating the feminine resulting in a warped version of both our masculine and feminine energy on both a collective and individual level with both aspects co-creators in that dynamic.  We are now shifting our seesaw to a balanced state. As we move deeper into the Divine Feminine, we simultaneously allow the birth of the Divine Masculine, moving away from an unbalanced, divisive ‘the strong dominates the weak’ paradigm, to a balanced, unity oriented ‘we work together as one’ paradigm.

            Back to the pushing stage news. In the days leading up to the Equinox we started to feel sparks of excitement, adrenalin and inspiration returning after a long period of feeling flat, unmotivated and in limbo. We may not have had clarity yet around what exactly we might like to do next, but at least we could feel something in us coming back to life.  We had a few days of feeling particularly light and happy, happy for no reason kind of happy, and happy and grateful for everything in our life kind of happy. During the Equinox our hearts were opened to a whole new level. Then came the feelings. Ours. Other people’s. We were either crying at the drop of a hat or feeling like we wanted to cry.

“You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel.” – Johnny Depp

Our hearts have been opened, and this will continue, allowing us to feel more deeply not only our own feelings but those of others. Many intuitives and lightworkers have tended to always see things from a higher perspective. While this higher perspective view offers inner peace, calm and a safe space from which to understand our own journey's and the journey's of others, it has also removed us from deep emotions. We're feeling those emotions now, and it is like swimming (drowning?) in turbulent waters that are quite unfamiliar. Yet these emotions are also offering us the opportunity to connect with new levels of empathy and compassion, and will provide the impetus to take action on social, humanitarian, environmental and global issues that we may otherwise have avoided with our 'everything happens for a reason' outlook. Rather than always say 'they chose that' when witnessing a challenging situation or crisis or injustice, is it not possible that 'they chose that' to give us an opportunity to ask ourselves: in the face of watching our brothers and sisters struggle, what are we going to do about it?

            It is no longer the case (if it ever has fully been) that someone’s situation is purely because they have abundance issues or worth issues or personal karma to work out. We are going to be confronted by the sheer force of our emotional response to situations new and old with the urge to do something about those situations. We are going to be confronted by the knowing that in some cases an individual has chosen a particular situation not because of their own personal issues, but as a tremendous soul offering, exchanging their comfort, wellbeing or even life for the purpose of awakening the rest of us, igniting us via our emotions to take action and to ensure that whatever happened to them doesn’t keep happening to others.  This is not to be mistaken for helping those who do not want help – that is a different category altogether. We are not here to ‘save’ people from their lives if they are quite happy to continue in drama and misery. We are referring here to those who are appealing for support and help, to the voices and cries that have gone ignored and unheard.

            Many of us have had a predilection to suppress and ignore the things we don't want to feel and unfortunately we have found ways to close and ignore our heart. However, our usual 'escaping feelings' mechanisms be they living too much from a higher perspective or numbing ourselves via other distractions and addictions, are not working anymore or at least not as effectively. The high frequency energy flooding this planet is flooding our hearts and thus over-riding whatever it is we've usually done or are still attempting to do to ignore/suppress/repress/numb our feelings. It's like, you can run, you can hide, you can meditate, you can drink or stick your head in the sand, but these waves of energy are still going to find each and every one of us.

There is increasingly a sense now that the tide has finally well and truly turned. Those who have been in power over our planet are no longer, and the people have taken back the reins. As you know there is a lag time between vibrational shift and physical manifestation. The physical reality we are witnessing today is a creation of our PAST thoughts and former vibrational reality. Our collective vibrational reality has been gradually changing and is now rapidly changing and so we will start to see major physical evidence of that in our collective reality in our not to far away future. We are already seeing the signs with the economy and political situation in multiple countries in disarray as old corrupt systems collapse, revelations, truth and transparency occurring with facts and conversations being made public that were not ‘supposed’ to be heard by the public, and people being held accountable for what they say and do. Recent examples include the “47%” comment by Mitt Romney and Australian radio broadcaster Alan Jones losing all advertising sponsorship after his comments about the Prime Minister and her father were recorded during a political dinner function.

As we approached 10/10 the Divine Feminine started roaring to life in a big way and 10/10 put a double 'ten' in intensity!!! Old personal issues may have been triggered within you around feeling disrespected, disregarded, unsupported, undervalued, misunderstood and totally sick and tired of feeling that way. You may have felt like a She (or He) Dragon, bellowing out: I have needs!!! I have rights!! If so, great! It is time to acknowledge to yourself that you have every right to get those needs met (in a good, respectful and healthy way). It is time to stop apologising for who we are, for what we believe, for what we want and deserve. On a micro level this is about our personal lives. On a macro level it is about our lives together as a society, as a country, and as a global community.

If you are yet to watch it, check out the video that has global commentators talking. (You can read transcript here). It's Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard unleashing years worth of emotion and facts about the way in which she, and other women, have been treated and spoken about. She is standing up for herself and women, essentially saying enough is enough. Regardless of your political beliefs, this speech is a powerful and historic one because we have never before seen a woman in parliament stand up against the old masculine paradigm with such emotion and brilliantly articulated passion. Of course we haven't. So often when women do this in any area of life they are labelled 'hysterical' or a 'bitch' or told to get over it. This comes from an absolute lack of understanding about how it feels as a woman, or as any person, to be treated disrespectfully and to then be expected to accept that treatment as 'that's just the way it is.' It comes from an archaic misinterpretation of the old masculine, which believes that it is okay to treat others in demeaning ways. Well, the Divine Feminine is back in the hood of Planet Earth and she is saying enough is enough and it is not okay! Millions of people all around the world, men and women, are riding on the Divine Feminine wave shouting out no more, I will not be treated this way!

This will bring up a lot of anger and rage, and rightly so. Our rage will push us to throw off old shackles and restraints and unleash the long repressed creative force and power that lies beneath. It will be an unstoppable, uncontrollable wave, but ultimately one that will be used in a positive, constructive way because we will be less inclined to push against the old, and more inclined to push forward toward creating the new.

Watch out anyone still living in the old paradigm run by unbalanced masculine energy that thinks it is okay to speak or act disrespectfully to women or to anyone for that matter. Abuse, violence and bullying is no longer being tolerated by the community at large and we are coming out in large numbers to make this clear.  For those deeply entrenched in the old ways they will think the world has gone crazy. Most of the bullies are not feeling awful about being confronted at all. In fact they are feeling completely confused, shocked and even angry wondering what's got into you that you are responding in the way you are whether your response is to stand up for yourself or cut them out of your life or confront them for how they are being. Their reality is their entrenched reality. For some yes, the response of others will serve as an awakening, but for many it will feel like an attack because the ego always believes it is right - and that's what the the old masculine energy runs on: ego.

Meanwhile we will be cheering that finally things that have felt so upside down are finally being turned right way up. Although we will be seeing a lot around how women are treated, this is just the beginning of a complete shift in the way we are all treated and treat each other regardless of gender, sexuality, race, so called social class or any other previously divisive label. We all have the Divine Feminine within us, and so on some level everyone has been influenced by the repression of it. 

As our hearts open and our passions stir, more and more of us will be feeling the urge to leave our work and do something different. Greater numbers from the mainstream will be moving into the healing and natural therapies fields, while many lightworkers who have perhaps been in those fields for years if not decades will start gravitating more to humanitarian endeavours and new social systems, building the new in very real, practical ways.

We have had some rest and down time this year, unexpectedly so, but we are now being called to put on our boots and get ready for action. The doors may not yet be fully open, but tie up your shoelaces and get dressed, they are opening.

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.
