We Rise Together

So far, one of the hardest things in life for me to understand and accept from/about other people is this love of an underdog – not in sports/entertainment style competition… but, in LIFE. I’ve been hurt repeatedly by people very “close” to me (especially those that some might say are almost required to [but, in the end – unable to] love me) by this specific frequency/phenomenon. It’s very easy to feel … it just hits you in the gut that they’d rather you be doing poorly / be worse off / have something bad happen to you… you can feel it. They can’t hide it very well… it’s that they’d be so much more comfortable if you would come down / be less / stay stuck in a lower frequency and/or level of some sort. The level isn’t even always of the same measurement – it’s not even always your status or anything monetary (although, often it is)… it could just be your energy, your spark, your vibration, etc. They just want you to come down… to be less.

Somewhere along the line, the underdog lovers chose to settle. They settled for how much easier they find it to picture you coming down, rather than envisioning themselves rising up or cycling up to meet you. I suppose they feel threatened somehow – and this keeps them stuck in this cycle of wishing less on others. AND, when they do that to others, they are doing it to themselves by settling for and holding that vision of that version of themselves – therefore, perpetuating the cycle and cementing their own lower frequency.

Personally, I have never measured people in this way. I just haven’t. I’ve been nearly crippled by empathy (working on that) since I was a tiny person and it never really left any room to experience people in the way this type of labeling/categorizing and reacting to according to how I see myself and how it makes me feel type of interaction. In that sense, the empathy wasn’t really crippling after all. When you’re always feeling people rather than classifying them, it allows a completely different type of experience or Beingness together (or even one sided in many cases). In approaching this topic in this space and pondering it, I can see the gift in my specifically designed for me approach and experience of connecting. I am so grateful I never had to do this hurtful thing to others, yet, I can have more compassion, and even forgiveness, for the harm that others do to themselves by interacting in this way.

The only positive thing about the underdog lovers is that this approach to others draws clear distinctions for gauging whether an actual alignment is possible. If there is one thing to stay away from on a path of seeking to embody better and better versions of yourself – it is the underdog lover. That frequency is a trap and can keep you stuck in lower frequencies and lesser versions of yourself.

Just a pondering and processing little write up… real-eyes-ing the impetus, releasing the pain, expanding the compassion and most importantly – cycling up – NEVER SHRINKING.

May our Souls guide us to the places where the other Souls celebrate our deep and beautiful risings and we continuously lift each other up!

So much Love to All! – S

I Am and I Will!

I AM and I Will. Happy New Year Everyone! May this Year of The Dragon be filled with beautiful creations/miracles/blessings for us All!

I was in my 20s before I knew I was a Fire Dragon. A new and instantly close friend introduced me to the Chinese zodiac calendar. She was a Rat. A compatibility triangle soon swept into my life – the Dragon/Rat/Monkey triangle. She told me – “We need to find you a Monkey!” She was with me the night I met my husband – My Monkey. She was right – we’re very compatible… we will celebrate 20 years of marriage this year.

I’m 47 now. I was just looking back on 2012 – the previous Dragon year… what a year that was. It’s the KNOWING that makes all the difference. I Know the power of the Dragon. I feel deeply from inside what that fire feels like. I am so grateful for this timing in my Life. I can feel the alignment/awakening/embodiment taking place. I feel the Dragon within every year. But, I Know the power of the timing taking place now at this instant and the continuous pulse of the instants that will carry me through this year.

Our family mantra this year (formed and given from my Dragon Spirit) is – Life Moves in Cycles – Let’s Cycle Up. We have talked a lot about how the only way to truly Cycle Up is through living the Pulse of Life. We know what that means to us. We have already left old cycles behind and will continue to do so. I Am excited at what stepping through into this Year of the Dragon means for me. I was craving a bit of softness – mostly fueled from exhaustion. The power of this year and the alignment it brings gives me the perfect balance of both – the Dragon that gives Life!

Having to make sense (or let go) of the illusions in this place and at the same time navigating in a world where most don’t see has been interesting to say the least. I am so grateful for the Dragon within that carries me through to deeper places and the alignment and timing of this Year that couldn’t have come at a better ‘time’… as I can feel the Dragon more easily than I can lay eyes on the absurdity of the widely accepted illusions of this ‘world’ they project. REAL Life is full of Love; not their inverted projected ridiculous version – but, real, natural Life. The Dragon moves with Life and in Love. The Fire is full of LOVE!

This is a bit of an manifestation/accountability/clear vision piece for me today. But also for inspiration and gratitude! May some spark of the Fire land on you with great and powerful vibrations full of Love! So much LOVE your way!

Full Circle

This world will harden you if you let it. Time to reach beyond for something so much better!

As a very young child, my constant prayer was this – “To NOT become bitter.” [I didn’t yet know about stating it in the positive… but this worked for me… I knew what I didn’t want to become and I visioned it in the positive – what I would become and stay open to Being – even though I repeatedly stated it this way I visioned the positive side clearly and fervently].

That was my guiding mantra… my greatest intention. To stay open. I saw so many bitter people and encountered so much to be bitter about. I made the effort to recite, embody and hold dear this very special to me prayer throughout my childhood and into my young adult life. I lived it.

I’m 47 now. It’s a full circle moment. To make things happen, to get things done to go out into the world (whirled) and create/impact/show up… it may have a hardening effect. I’m not bitter… I still Believe. I’m still open – in different ways than I could have imagined – but, still open.. not to the illusionary world, but to what is beyond that. I never became bitter. But, I have recently allowed this world to cause/push/program me to slip from my nature… from my softness.

I fought hard for my authenticity and I never do or say anything without it. With that, many situations call for an authentically tough and/or rough approach to “accomplish” anything and/or just get common sensical needs met/tasks handled/lackluster approaches avoided, etc. It’s a funny world now and a strange culture being perpetuated on us all the time… let’s just say they like to strip what is ‘natural’ out of it and distort, invert and corrupt in every possible way.

With my authenticity comes a direct approach that people don’t love I suppose. I show up as honest, open, direct, forthcoming, straightforward and it is just so interesting how people now take offense to that (even with warm vulnerability)… which only makes me settle in harder because I know my pure intentions behind it and I never intend in harmful ways… even if I’m willing to say the tough stuff…

In this full circle moment – kind of prompted by a straw that broke the camel’s back situation in a business interaction today – I do declare and embody this full circle prayer/mantra/intention – “To reclaim my softness… my nature.”

I’ll still treasure my authenticity I hold so dear… but, I’ll protect the part of me that is so delightfully and beautifully soft and like no other force … my softness is a precious treasure full of so much Life, Love and nurturing possibility… it can move mountains and shape steel. I don’t have to pretend to belong to this world of harsh edges and inverted roles. I AM my nature and anything worth Doing can be done in that frequency.

I reclaim my softness … my Nature!!!
I reclaim my softness … my Nature!!!
I reclaim my softness … my Nature!!!

So much Love and powerfully authentic softness your way!!!

Tune Up!

Today is a great day to… Sample the silence! Interrupt the programming! Merge with nature! Go within! TUNE UP!!!!!

Sound is so very powerful – it dominates our senses. We must choose wisely what we ‘listen’ to or what noise we allow in. The effects of sound run deep and control so many aspects of our Being – from direct hits to our nervous system to complete control of our perspective and so much more. If we allow constant noise in our lives, we aren’t truly Living… we are being steered/led/directed/governed and effectively – DIMINSHED! 

Often (without proper clearing and cleansing), the sounds we allow around us, begin to reverberate within us. We may even have a noisy mind that dominates our experience or keeps us stuck in repetitive illusions – robbing us of the actual Life around and within us. That noisy mind stems from what we have listened to, heard without realizing, focused on without proper intention and/or unconscious attention or just allowed into and/or around our Being.

Sound can be jarring, but it can also be quite soothing/nurturing/Loving/healing. Much has been done here to use sound destructively against us – more than most can/want to imagine. We must set the intention and follow up with proper action to use sound as the healing modality that it Can be. 

Nature is here for us. From my perspective, God is here – in nature AND – in us. There is also an overlay here – of other frequencies that lays over nature and pretends to be real. The overlay is the noisy part of things. What lies beneath/above/within (so to speak) is what is real, natural, true and of Love – the highest frequency. I could go on and on here – but, for today’s purposes, I just want to suggest nature as a way to sample the silence/specific sounds made of God/Universe/Love. 

If you can’t get out in nature today – then hijack their overlay and use technology to sample the sounds you might have found in nature today. Use your Divine guidance to steer you towards new sounds on whatever device you prefer (from various nature sounds, to sound baths, sound bowls, handpan, soothing music with the proper frequency, energy healing sounds, etc.). There is no substitute for actual Nature, of course, but, there is a way to access nature within/that is YOU. Use whatever methods necessary to dive deep within what lies inside YOU. 

There is a reason they call it a “tune up” – lets TUNE UP today! Let’s be hugged by nature in whatever ways we can today! Let’s sample the depth of the silence, the merge with nature, the quieting of the programs and the exquisite beauty found within today!!!

So much Love to ALL!!!!

Imagine – Being Born Into a World That…

Imagine a world where Divine and Natural Law reigned supreme and omnipresent, where Love permeated the air, where Unity, as well as individual creativity, was nurtured, respected and celebrated for All… where from the very first moment we arrived in this place, these things would be taught to us, and brought forth from within us with Loving kindness and care – from every single being we encountered and everything igniting from within our own nurtured and treasured Being.

We’d know what it means to be a Sovereign Being. We’d know that every time we look into the eyes of another, we’re looking as a Sovereign Being and at a Sovereign Being. So much would be possible there.

We’d understand ‘miracles’ and be well aware of our part in creating, receiving and experiencing them. We’d understand how fear and limited thinking robs one of those experiences and we would know how to look at the world and co-create with the Universe in ways that make miracles happen – but never taken for granted. There would be honor in the ‘miracles’ that make them so worthwhile and real.

We’d know exactly how our thoughts create our reality. We’d know our gaze is full of projection and we’d bless the world with beautiful visions and vibrations of thoughts truly worth experiencing. We’d honor our part in writing reality and we’d work together to co-create in unity well.

We’d know what connection to Soul looks and feels like – we’d honor it wherever we met it. We’d seek it for ourselves. We’d celebrate it in others and do what it takes to nurture it within. We’d see Spirit thriving all around us as we All embrace what is meant and spirit driven in and for us All. There would be joy, meaning, passion and purpose all around us living in full expression.

We’d innerstand, feel and know our place in nature. We’d know the stones have memory, the rocks have consciousness, there is Life in all things and spirit to be felt wherever we lay our gaze. We’d feel our truest self in connection to All that is. We’d intuitively know what nature is saying, we’d be drawn to solutions and creations found there, we’d be guided from within to exactly what is naturally provided. We’d experience a oneness in everything we did… we’d live the miracles that are all around us.

We’d know true Love. We’d align with all things real and true. There are no words to properly describe what Love would be felt – only that vibration to resonate with as our rightful and Divine home we’d know how to dwell in. We’d truly LIVE in Love.

It takes our vision and willingness to hold it with steadfast clarity and conviction. Everything that IS was once a vision. And so it is.

I Love you!

PS – I taught my children many of these things from the time they can remember and even more of them over the years and now. However, in a world like ours, it takes them deciding when to embrace, innerstand and resonate with what is real, for they can still feel (at times) the lower vibrational stuff that tries so hard to pervade our world as it so convincingly PRETENDS TO BE now. Seeing them make that decision is a beautiful thing indeed. The future is so bright if you know how and where to look!

Awake

Though they continuously broadcast
Illusions of division (one after another)
There is so much more for us to see
And with our chosen focus – eternally Be

There is beauty to behold
There is Unity to foresee
There is Love shining brightly
Through you and through me

Love shines so powerfully through
The hearts of awake, aware and
Unsusceptible You and Me
The Truth shall indeed set us Free

Human Beings are so magnificently resilient! There is so much being thrown at us… so much confusion and orchestrated ‘mystery’. Wherever you are on your path, however you’re feeling… you are powerful, you are resilient, you are Love. Only fears and false beLIEfs can keep the veil up/curtain standing/stage set/show going on, etc.

The Lights are on. We are ready for more than this version of ‘reality’. We come together in Love. We Rise in Love. We have hearts full of Love to help us see and with our focused intention New Earth shall Be.

I Love you!

Harmonize, Shine and Love

We are responsible for our core vibrational frequency. Whatever comes our way serves to deepen our connection to what is real, true and of Love (or lower vibrational reactions if we so choose). Let’s use our free will to choose well – like the beautiful Sovereign Beings that we ARE! [Sovereign Beings do not bow to predictive programming!]

To harmonize with Source Energy today, I will walk in nature, with my bare feet touching this beautiful earth to ground me in what is real and connect me to what is true – Source.

Authenticity is my constant companion – it simplifies my life in so many ways, allowing me to shine my Light and transmute whatever comes my way (by allowing myself to feel it and to bring Light to it) so that I may hold ever increasing amounts of Light as I go. I will choose to Authentically shine my Light today – as I do every day. The ripples and ramifications of this choice are Divine!

LOVE! A few months ago I had the most beautiful experience with QHHT! Source led me to the most lovely practitioner and blessed me with a wonderfully unique and awe inspiring experience as we connected and then delved into all kinds of amazing memories and answered questions. Today, I will draw on that specific moment from my session when I wept and wept at the beauty I experienced in a past “situation” – it was so completely overwhelming all I could do was weep at the comfort and beauty (words cannot do this feeling justice). I can still feel it today as I lean back into it and recall that moment and that “life” I experienced. Like nothing I had ever imagined before, but filled with a Love I always knew was possible and all around. Love IS. I AM.

Wishing you the most lovely day full of harmonizing with Source, shining your authentic Light and choosing Love again and again in the most meaningful and accessible ways for you. There are so many ways into these frequencies… these are the ones I choose today. Tomorrow it may be meditating with my sound bowls and giggling with my kiddos… there are so many (infinite) ways to be the harmony, embrace and spread the Light and feel the Love!!! I am wishing you an abundance of choices filled with every good thing you can imagine and make happen for yourself. I Love you!

A Strong Finish Makes Way for a Stellar Beginning

A simple and quite lovely truth – it is a magnificent time to be Alive! To live in the vibration of that simple truth is a choice. For the remainder of this year, it is crucial to remain in/return to that frequency as much as we possibly can.

Late November and December are ALWAYS filled with concepts about things we have to do/should do/always do/enjoy or cherish doing (even the old – would rather not do but do it anyway), etc. Let this year be what it has been all along – different. Let it be magical and creative and new in as many ways as you can possibly imagine. WE DECIDE if it is a great time to be alive … spoiler alert – IT IS A MAGNIFICENT TIME TO BE ALIVE!!!!!! Many wonders await us in the VERY near future. Perhaps a fresh approach to this busy time of year will do us ALL well!

There is a real temptation to be drawn into the concept of focusing on so many things we cannot do for the remainder of the year. That is a choice. There is another layer, another perspective, another dimension to consider… and that is rather personal for us all, depending on how we’re looking at the world right now and what reality fits for each of us. At the same time, a collective approach would do us well in more ways than some can yet imagine. An excited to be Alive and looking with fresh eyes approach will do us All well!

It can be challenging if we allow it to be as we come together while all feeling so different about all that we’ve been through in so many various ways, yet all in it just the same – together. May those challenges be turned away from as we turn towards the joy we can choose and the creativity we can tap into to make this time as special as it can be. We create the rest of the year – let’s do it well! LOVE in the form of Creativity and Joy will change the world!

There are 39 days left in the year. Whatever we choose to do with them, may they be filled with the ability to look with FRESH EYES that allow us to feel the Tingle of Life run through our senses…and beyond! 

Below is a link to a post I wrote in 2014 called Fresh Eyes. This brought me so much Love, heart expansion and fresh perspective today that I wanted to share it with you! Sent with Love!

Rise and Vibe

There is a vibration up above the duality
It’s the Love that is more of the real you and me
 
Whether I’m “awake”
And you’re “sleeping”
 
Or I’m dreaming
And your perspective is “real”
 
We’re both a vibration
That each other can feel
 
We aren’t caged in by whether or not we agree
We may not be able to see what the other chooses to “see”
 
But we can and we will become more and more
Of the Love that each other can feel
 
RISE and VIBE sweet souls – higher
And higher as the lower dimensions fall away
 
Becoming the vibration that you, those around you
And everything in the Universe most longs to feel
 
– TO REMEMBER –
LOVE!

Your Light

There is one beautiful constant and consistent blessing found in all of the interesting challenges/circumstances/opportunities in and of 2020 – the push/nudge/impetus to go within. When everything “without” (external) appears the way 2020 has appeared, there is nowhere else to go – and what a blessing that is! If that “nudge” has been or can become your experience/constant companion, then that would make 2020 the greatest possible blessing – to serve to lead us to what we hold within. 

By creating such a chaotic “environment” in the external around us, 2020 has excelled at pushing us to continuously ‘level up’ how we connect with what we can only find within. This entire year has been saturated with an absolute overload of double speak, contradictory “information” and division for a multitude of reasons whenever and wherever we look outside of ourselves – but not when we look within.

I recently found a draft I wrote nearly 6 years ago and never shared titled “The Universe Isn’t Trying to Annoy You – It’s Trying to Wake You Up” … I laughed when I saw it because that was 6 years ago – when it could be mistaken for “annoying” – we’re far beyond annoying at this point. The Universe always starts with a feeling, then a whisper, then a direct message, and from there it keeps elevating until it has to hit you over the head… but it keeps communicating and giving you the message in whatever way you insist – you can listen at the whisper or ask it for more – it’s always a choice. Personally, I enjoy listening to the feeling – it’s so gentle and delicate and beautifully detailed and it feels like co-creating that way – it has mystery and creation at the forefront rather than anything off-putting or too unpleasant and it becomes this trusting beautiful relationship that no words could possibly describe. Whatever relationship you have with the Universe – that is the relationship you have with Yourself… after all – you ARE the Universe. 

This year is serving as a collective wake up call for us All. We may all be at various levels along that journey, but, we’re All on that journey in our own perfectly unique way. Listen deeply to what You have to say to Yourself. Do whatever it takes to quiet the external and let the Light shine bright from within so that You may understand it and shine it ever more bright for the world to see. The world needs your specific Light now more than ever and You need it too. Now is the time. It is happening. Just like when you arrive at your home after dark, you turn the lights on. We ARE turning the Lights on and our Lights will lead us home. The world will never be the same. A world filled with information (Light) from Source will change, and is changing, everything. Imagine what miracles await a world that has been blessed with a clear wake up call for All. A new dawn is emerging and we have so much in store for us. We can trust that the Universe wouldn’t go to all of this trouble for just another day. This is a truly miraculous time to be alive. Let’s get clear from the inside – looking for the Light and Listening to what the Soul is telling us – so that we may be ready and excited to Live this adventure well!

Wishing us All that beautiful Knowing from a place deep within that passes all understanding, eases all anxieties, wipes away all lower vibrations and spreads Love, peace and unity wherever we lay our attention and beyond. I love you!
