Animal And Plant Energies

I do not consider myself an animal person. While I typically like them (and they like me back), they don't seem to hold my interest for long. I do have an ongoing love affair with plants. I enjoy being out in nature, soaking in the green that surrounds me and talking to the trees. I have a fairly green thumb when it comes to gardens and houseplants. I even have a wonderful shamrock on my kitchen counter I talk to frequently. I have never really thought about why I prefer plants to animals until today, when I finally asked the question. Plant energies are much more soothing to me than animals energies.

Many people get a great deal of comfort and satisfaction from loving animals. Animals can provide unconditional love that is often lacking in the world today. That said, sometimes the energy that comes from animals can be little too intense for me. It is at times almost frenetic. It requires more interaction than I often have the energy to provide back. Consequently, I have a tendency to hold myself back from animals.

Plant energies are much less intrusive. I can go outside and interact with them when I choose. Their energies are much lower key and in that way less demanding. The interesting thing about my relationship with plants is that I talk to them, and in certain ways they talk back to me. My shamrock is always sure to remind me when he needs more water. When I am walking in the woods, certain trees come into my awareness more than others. It's as if they are calling out to me to pay attention to them specifically. For me it becomes an almost magical experience.

I'm not here to say that communing with plants is better than communing with animals. Communing with plant energies is just more soothing to me personally. I know a good many people who feel the same way about animals. It's all good! No matter what you are drawn to, understand there is probably a reason for it. Allow it to exist without judgment. It is through honoring the various energies around us that we are able to connect and remember that we are all truly One.

The Benefits Of Being Silent

From an early age, I craved alone time. Most days I would sit alone in my room reading, or I would be out exploring the trees and plants in my yard. I know now a lot of it was because I was highly empathic, and being alone brought me peace. Still, there are many things to gain when you sit in silence.

When you take the time to sit in silence, you are able to get to know self. You can explore your likes and dislikes by asking questions. You can learn about the things that bring you down and the things that inspire you--in other words what to stay away from and what to go after. You can explore your feelings and learn even more.

When you are silent, you can learn about the energies around you. Everything has energy/frequency. Most days we take these energies for granted because most of the things we observe are so common. Furniture, vehicles, plants, animals, etc. Believe it or not, these things even have personalities! It's easy to relate to when it comes to animals. Their energies are similar enough to our own that we often have relationships with them. Others are more difficult. The irony is, there are often things in our lives we have relationships with, but we take them as jokes. For example, how many of us have named our cars? (Or plants, or anything else?) How many of us talk to those same cars? Like I said, we joke around about it, but the next time you do it think about it for a moment. Did you get anything back? A thought or a feeling, perhaps?

There are even energies around that do not have a physical presence, but it is possible to sense them when you take time to be silent. You may have been taught such things are only your imagination, but think about this: Thoughts themselves have energy. I have learned information from beings I would call elementals all because I allowed myself to be open to the possibility of their existence.

There is much to be learned when you take the time to sit in silence. Allow yourself to explore the unseen energies and information in your world. You never know what else might be accomplished when you take the time to understand the more subtle energies around you.

The Language Of Frequency

What if I told you that everything has a sort of consciousness? We are not trained to think that way. We believe humans are at the top of the food chain because we have the ability to think and move and communicate. Animals come in second, largely because we can see they have many of these same abilities. Everything else that makes up this planet--plants, water, minerals, etc.--is seen as useful but not conscious. The consciousness I am referring to can be experienced and understood as frequency, and, yes, literally everything carries one!

For people who are sensitive to energy, frequency carries a language whose messages can be interpreted. Often these messages are difficult to pick up because we are so used to living in this state of separation we forget we are all part of Oneness. Still, the messages--awarenesses--are out there.

I have always been sensitive to plants. I have a shamrock plant on my kitchen windowsill that lets me know when it needs something--water, more sunlight, etc. I find myself drawn to certain trees, shrubs and plants when I am out in nature. There is a stand of trees in my yard that I put some of my kitchen waste (grease and table scraps) in so they don't clog up my sink. When I first began doing it, I would dump some of it out when it was still hot. After a while though, I was made aware that the heat was hurting the trees! I felt awful! Needless to say, I make sure everything is room temperature before I dump it out now.

It is frequency I hear when I get messages from people who are profoundly disabled. It is frequency I hear when I feel led to check the pockets of my coat and find money. There are literally thousands of voices that surround us every day, all calling out through the power of their personal vibrations.

Perhaps the easiest way to become more sensitive to them is to begin talking to individual things when you connect to Oneness in meditation. Explore a single blade of grass. How does it make you feel? What do you appreciate or dislike about it? The more questions you ask, the more you will begin to understand about whatever you are consciously connecting with.

Frequency does carry a language you can learn to communicate through. It's all part of becoming more aware and connected to your heart. You may just discover your life flows much more easily as you hear the messages from the world around you.

Getting To Know Your Angels

Did you know you have angels who are assigned to you personally? (Yes, you are just that special!) Their jobs are to help you accomplish your goals and mission in life. They prompt you to take certain actions through thoughts or "coincidences". They keep you out of harms way if that is not part of your life's plan. They even provide physical things you need, although you might not consider your angels were the ones who brought them. You can get to know your angels personally, although for the vast majority of us the process takes time and focus.

I became aware of my angels, particularly the one I consider my angel-in-charge, by connecting to my heart space and becoming aware of energies that surround me. I had recently learned the process and I was guiding my sister through the technique. When we were both connected, I just sat there and focused on feeling the energies around me. I felt a presence a foot or two behind myself, sort of off to my right side. Interestingly enough, I felt a similar presence behind my sister but I knew that was her angel and I didn't need to concern myself with him. This is was my first acknowledgement of the presence of my personal guardian.

The whole experience intrigued me to the point where I began to seek more information about what happened. I was able to describe the experience to a very gifted intuitive, and she helped me determine more exactly what had happened. She also gave me suggestions for what to pay attention to--specifics like did it feel safe and where did those knowing feelings occurr in my own body. (Different people will get intuitive feelings/information in different locations in their bodies. Most of mine occur in my stomach and solar plexus areas, but they can even occur in something like your arm or your big toe. Don't judge them!)

I began to take time daily to get in touch with this particular angel. One of my favorite times of day was at work. At the time I was still working as a daycare teacher and I had a class of two year olds that took naps every day just after lunch. The two hour period where they slept gave me a large portion of time to get quiet and get connected. I found myself talking to my angel a lot during this time. As I didn't have a name for him, my offbeat sense of humor began referring to him as "Bob". Every time I used that name, I could feel my angel laughing. (Yes, they can have a sense of humor!) After a while of referring to him as "Bob", I heard a soft voice in my head. "My name is Saul." I was quite surprised by that. For some reason I never thought to ask for a real name.

Over time, I got out of the habit of talking to Saul, although I know he is still with me. I have once again made time to become aware of his specific presence just so I can hear his voice and advice a little more clearly.

You can get to know the presence and voice of your own angel/angels. It is simply a question of connecting to your heart and allowing yourself to become aware of the energies around you. Pay attention to feelings of safety or harm because all the energies around you are not necessarily helpful. The more familiar you become with various energies, the more you can learn about the spiritual realm.

The Tipping Point

I've seen a few intel/news reports in the alternative news recently that I want to believe are true--stuff about a new financial system and currency revaluations. The problem is, I've seen this stuff before. It's one of many things that is just right around the corner but comes with delay after delay after delay. More hopeium? I decided (finally) to inquire of my higher self during my meditation time, and what I got was this: humanity is at the tipping point.

What does it mean for humanity to be at the tipping point? For me, that means we're close to having enough people on the planet who are awake, aware and ready to actively take part in changing the direction of the planet. Regardless of the people already working behind the scenes to fix the planet, it will still take enough people who actually understand change needs to occur for the changes to come out into the open.

The intel I saw talked about many things already having been accomplished and just waiting the orders to become open, common knowledge. Currencies all over the planet have de-pegged from the US petrodollar with gold backed currencies. New financial computer systems have been set up and are operational. Those in power have supposedly signed off on the majority of their powers as this new system sets up. What is the delay?

There are still a good many people on this planet who have a vested interest in seeing the status quo maintained, and these are not just the powers that be. The "hold outs" are people who refuse to acknowledge the vast amount of corruption in the world because doing so would mean their comfortable way of life would stop (or so they think). The true irony is these same people have no idea how much better their lives would be if the current powers that be were no longer in charge. Their hard work would pay off better than their wildest dreams because the current powers that be would no longer have their hands in the pockets of humanity, taking every last nickel and dime they can steal!

We are at the tipping point to monumental change! Allow your fears to be put to rest as you acknowledge the need for the world to change. The quicker we understand that change is good, the quicker we can bring about the world of our dreams.

Do You Read Frequencies?

Years ago when I worked at a treatment center for emotionally disturbed children, I worked with a little guy who seemed to have the usual problems that landed a child in such a place. Besides the very common ADHD and erratic behaviors, we began noticing some unusual throat-clearing sounds coming from him. Further investigation and diagnosis revealed he had a mild case of Tourettes' Syndrome. He ended up being one of my favorite children at the facility and I grew quite close to him while he was there. I became used to his behaviors and ticks--all part of his frequncy. I even remember a distinct smell in his breath--not unpleasant but different from anything I had ever smelled before. 

I never thought anything about this encounter with mild Tourette's until years later, when I met another boy. I was friends with his mom, and she was struggling with him because of behavioral problems she did not understand. His behaviors didn't bother me because I was used to such frequencies. Then one day, I caught a distinct smell from his breath. It reminded me of the little guy I had worked with at the group home with Tourette's. I began to wonder if he too had Tourette's, especially after it dawned on me his behavior was similar to the boy at the group home. This boy was diagnosed with Tourette's several months down the road. To this day I still think there was something I picked up in that smell, but even more important was the similar frequency these two boys carried. 

I have a tendency to be good at picking up on bipolar behavior. I have dealt with it personally within my own family, but I encountered even more of it when I was a daycare teacher. In children, it will often manifest as ADHD behavior, but will be different in anger. A child with normal ADHD will get angry but can be talked out of his/her anger through rational thought. A child who is bipolar will often seem like he/she has ADHD, but anger is a whole different matter. A bipolar child will get angry about something and the only way to calm him/ her down is to get them to focus on something totally unrelated to the issue that angered them in the first place. Otherwise, the anger cycles in on itself and gets even more out-of-control.

I have a friend who has a son with Asperger Syndrome, which is a milder, high-functioning form of autism. Her autism radar goes off when she encounters someone with a similar frequency. As I have also worked with various forms of autism in daycare settings, it is something I can tune into as well.

Ever wondered how you know to stay away from certain people at certain times? It's like you just know they are angry and will strike out at anyone who comes within arms length of them if they are approached, so you just avoid them? You may be aware of addictive personalities. You may be drawn to people who make you laugh without having heard them crack the first joke, but you sense that ability. Believe it or not, you too are reading frequencies! We often don't understand that's what we're doing, but it is happening all the same.

Next time you discover yourself attracted to someone or find yourself running away from another in fear before a word has been spoken between you, understand you are picking up on frequency! The more aware you are when you pick up on frequency, the more skilled you will become at doing it. Learn to appreciate the more subtle abilities you have been blessed with by paying attention to all those things that draw or repel you. You may just be surprised by how gifted you are!!!

The Message In Our Emotions

I have a quick temper. While I can control my anger most of the time, I find it happens frequently. The thing is, emotions are there to reveal important information that wants to make itself known. Any extreme emotion can be a tool for learning. The reverse is also true. Lack of emotion can be meaningful.

Recently, my husband said he needed to call the bank because he had somehow missed a payment on a small loan we had taken out. Normally such information would send me through the roof, but my response was to ask how late it was and talk to him in a very calm, rational manner. This is not normal for me--quite odd actually.

Ironically, he called the bank and discovered that the bank was in error. Needless to say, I was happy to hear that. It was easily set right and the late fee was erased.

What strikes me about the whole experience was this: I felt tremendous calm in a situation that normally would have seen me wanting to act like a lunatic. Why? It was because my heart and body understood the truth--that there was no problem and no reason to move into action! In this case, my lack of anger was telling because there was nothing wrong.

The more information we collect on our emotions--things like when they occur and don't occur, the more likely we are to understand the messages in our emotions. For example, if my husband should at some future point mention a late payment notice again and I feel my anger rising, I'll understand there is something that requires my immediate attention. No emotion means all is well, continue on the path.

As we continue on the journey of connection to heart, know that our emotions are there to alert and support us. Learn to become aware of the messages they give and the path will be much less bumpy and strained.

The Ability To See Beyond

In our world, the ability to see beyond what the five basic senses (sight, sound, taste, smell and touch) reveal is thought to be "extra". People who can foretell the future or sense the presence of spirits are considered gifted in ways most people don't understand. The reality is, we all have the ability to tap into information obtained beyond the five senses. We have either been taught that we can't or our gifts have been systematically destroyed by a society that fears these gifts.

Religion has done a fantastic job of keeping our gifts down. In more ancient times, people who demonstrated psychic ability were sought out and killed as "witches". There are many taboos in religious texts that lead people to believe such gifts come from darkness. Often we are taught that foretelling the future is "evil" so we intentionally turn it off and ignore it until it goes away. The bottom line is, if we can convince people psychic gifts are evil they will not seek to use such gifts in an effort to be "good".

Our families also play a role in suppressing our natural psychic gifts. For example, children are born empathic. That's why infants and small children cry when they hear another child crying. Once they acquire the ability to talk, psychic gifts are often dismissed. For example, a small child will sense some tension (and secret fighting) between his parents. When he addresses the issue with one of his parents, his parent will tell him mommy and daddy aren't fighting as a way to soothe the child. Because the parent is not being authentic, the child believes his insights/feelings were inaccurate and begins to ignore them. Over time, psychic ability is turned off.

The question becomes, how do we turn our psychic gifts back on? The answer is simple: acknowledge you have gifts and then take the time to explore what you have!

Meditation becomes key. When you take the time to quiet your mind, open your heart and listen, information begins to make itself known to you. As you continue on with your meditation practice, you get better at it. At some point, you will begin to connect to your heart so closely you will receive information when you are going about your daily life. At that point, you could be considered "psychic".

The ability to see beyond is not just for the special few. We are all gifted in profound and unique ways. Connect to your heart and begin to explore all those places where we can receive insights outside the usual five senses. You will be amazed at how gifted you truly are!

Question What You See!!!

I happened to catch a glimpse of the recent "hero" cop footage from the San Bernardino shootings. The video appears to be footage from someone's cell phone. In it, you can see a cop leading leading people with their hands in the air to safety. At least that's what we're being told about it. (You can watch the footage here.) In later footage that reveals the "hero" cop, he makes the statement, "I am no hero." I agree with him. He's no hero.

My intuition is telling me this video is staged to look like it was taken during the middle of the ordeal. The question is, why would they go to all this trouble? As always, the question goes back to agenda. What could they possibly hope to promote by showing this clip repeatedly?

Take a good look at the victims being led out. They are behaving nicely, like good citizens. Even though they are the victims, they are led out of the building with their hands in the air, like criminals. They are compliant. It is typical of other such footage we've seen in the past. The one that stands out most in my mind is the Columbine school shooting, where the students are led out with their hands up.

This video is being shown all over mainstream news here in the United States. To me, they are attempting to program the population into acquienscence for a future declaration of martial law. They want compliant slaves, not ones who question and possibly buck the system.

Do not allow these thoughts to put you into fear. While the powers that be may want to declare martial law and take total control, there are enough awake people they would not be able to get away with it on a countrywide scale. Besides, they continue to lose power daily. With each new false flag operation, more and more people wake up to the games.

I point these things out because it is important to question. Questions lead us to new truths and new awarenesses. Do not automatically take things at face value, especially if your heart information is puzzled. For those of us who regularly go into our hearts, questions from the heart are there to guide you to truth. Pay attention to them!

The truth is out there. Make sure to question what you see so you can act with insight instead of react in blindness and be led astray.

You Are More Aware Than You Think!

As a woman (and a decent looking one), I have had my fair share of catcalls. It can be extremely uncomfortable to walk by a group of boys or men and be the victim of mindless sexual innuendo. Although nothing has been done physically, you still end up feeling assaulted. Why is that? It's because, deep down, we all understand what is playing out in the minds of those making the catcalls. We feel it! It is dark. It is vile. It is emotionless. It is aggressive. At times we can even picture just what these men want to do.

Men can feel this as well at times when they are hit on by other men. Straight men who get hit on aggressively by gay men often adopt the attitude that being gay is a perversion. I believe this is a direct result of feeling the aggressive sexual thoughts directed at them by those particular gay men and the awareness makes straight men feel uncomfortable. (Please note that not all gay men or women have sexually aggressive thoughts--just those who have learned to associate sex with mindless, physical pleasure. Also note there are straight women who have sexually aggressive thoughts as well.)

I bring these feelings up because this is exactly what I mean when I talk about awareness! There are times in everyone's lives when we just "know" something without understanding why we "know" it. For those of us less in touch with our intuition, it is usually only the strongest feelings that come through. Understand that when feelings come across that strong, it is extra important to pay attention! These are often warnings that danger is close.

When you take the time to quiet your mind and get into your heart, awareness opens up exponentially. Allow yourself at least half and hour every day to feel the energies around you. You will begin to get a sense the nature of the objects around you. For example, you may sense the mind-numbing confusion that comes from your television. You might get a sense of peace from the organic bananas you just bought. If you continue this practice, you may even begin to feel the presence of your guardian angels or loved ones who have passed on but are back to assist you!

Awareness is always present. When you allow yourself to pay attention, the information that comes will keep you safe and will guide you to better ways of doing things. You are much more aware than you think!

The Power Of The Mirror

Years ago, I overheard a couple of coworkers discussing another coworker. They were talking about the fact that she was unmarried and pregnant. The gist of the conversation was how awful a thing it was, seeing how the girl was relatively young and immature. People will gossip. What struck me about the conversation is how hypocritical these two particular people were being. Both of them had been in the very same situation with their first pregnancies.

All of us experience our hypocritical moments. Very often, they occur when we are triggered by circumstances that are unresolved issues within ourselves. When we see the same situation occurring elsewhere, we push our own inadequacies aside by focusing on the inadequacies of others.

The emotional trigger that comes up when someone else makes the same mistake we've made but left unresolved is known as a mirror. The thought is that what we see in the world around us is merely a reflection of ourselves. Being hypocritical involves ignoring the truth of what you see in your mirror.

The process of awareness involves the willingness to look past all those things that make us uncomfortable and see what actually exists, the good, the bad and the ugly. Accepting our own darkness always comes at a price, but in the long run this price leads to awareness.

When we are finally able to look squarely in the mirror at both the light and dark aspects of ourselves and fully accept responsibility for everything, the world as we know it will transform for the better. That is the power of the mirror.

Opening Awareness

I had an interesting experience yesterday. It was Tuesday, and I had to go to my part time retail job. While I enjoy my coworkers and the fact that it gets me out of the house and out in the public, I was not looking forward to it. Still, as I drove to work I had this overwhelming sense it was a weekend sort of day--lazy, nothing to do, etc. As I continued to make my way in to the job it finally dawned on me. I wasn't feeling like it was a weekend day because of anything I personally felt. I was feeling the mood of all the people in the homes and cars and businesses around me! Where I live here in Georgia, pretty much all the kids are home from school all week long because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

As I go down this road of opening my own awareness and attempting to help others unlock theirs as well, it is interesting to see when progress has been made. I'm sure there have been many times in the past the feelings/energies of those around me were obvious, but I was oblivious. Many occasions I did not even question whether or not what I was feeling came from me or someone or something else.

The journey the planet is currently undergoing is the process of opening awareness. We have all spent many years in darkness--many years feeling separate and disconnected. As stated before, these beliefs about our separateness have been programmed into us intentionally by those who would usurp our power for themselves. Awareness is the process of learning how to listen to the knowledge that comes from tapping into the Source of love within our own hearts.

Allow yourself to celebrate the awarenesses as they come. These are the little signs that you are beginning to remember who you truly are! The more we begin to recognize the connections we have to ourselves, each other and the world, the more our whole world begins to change for the better.

We are making progress, slow though it may seem. Every step we take toward thinking through our hearts helps to open our awareness. Allow yourself to celebrate the journey!

What Is Confusion Telling You?

Confusion is something we all experience from time to time. We seem to get pulled in several different directions all at the same time and have problems understanding which direction we need to go in. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: confusion results from the heart knowing truth that your mind refuses to accept.

Let me say that in a slightly different way. Confusion happens because your perception is not aligning with truth (or what IS). The information (truth) is always available. We often just don't want to look at it. Sometimes it is due to heavy programming that is difficult to see beyond. On other occasions, we don't want to look at truth because we don't want to believe such things could be true. For example, I ignored the events of 9/11 for years because I did not want to face the fact there was that much evil in the world. I could handle the thought that a few delusional religious terrorists could commit such an act. It is a whole different matter to understand the atrocity was planned and set into motion by the very people we look to for protection.

How can we limit confusion in our lives? We limit confusion by connecting to and looking at the truth in our hearts! When you feel confusion, understand your body is letting you know there is more information to uncover. (Emotions are your body's way of getting your attention to let you know information wants to make itself known to you. When you feel one, pay attention!) The following is a list of ideas you can use to help filter the muck confusion brings.

Interpreting Confusion

1. Recognize you feel confusion. Allow confusion to be a trigger for you so you remember to look at the information being presented to you. 
2. Ask questions. Begin with things like, "What information is trying to make itself known to me?" and "What is not true about this situation?".
3. Connect to your heart for answers. Go to a quiet place and meditate. As you sit in silence, allow the noise and clutter of your thoughts to die down enough to feel/hear the quiet. It is in the quiet that answers come.
4. Look at what confuses you from a new/different perspective. Ask yourself how your opponent might see this issue. Ask how a favorite religious figure (Jesus, Mohammed, God, Buddha, etc.) would look at this situation. Ask how a child might view this situation. Visualize the issue of confusion in the center of a circle, then move around the circle and continue to look at the situation.

Confusion offers us the opportunity to come to new insights and understandings about how the world is. Make use of this valuable gift from Source to open your awareness and create new space for growth!

Sitting With The Energy

I've had an extremely interesting experience this week that triggered some really deep-seated emotions. While I don't believe the details of what triggered me are important to the world at large, I bring it up now because I want to use this to illustrate the process of sitting with the energy. Under normal circumstances, when we get triggered by strong emotion the first thing we want to do is run away or ignore it. The problem with that is, the underlying problem doesn't go away. It hides for a little while, only to return in the future in the hope that you will finally be willing to sort it all out.

The emotion that triggered me was fear. In a nutshell, I felt threatened as someone tried to stop me from expressing myself. Ironically, my first thought was very ego-driven. "What do I need them for anyway?", was the thought. It was only after this initial reaction that I decided to feel into the situation and see what else came up. It was then I allowed myself to feel that fear. While fear is an extremely uncomfortable feeling, I understood I needed to sit with my fear to see what it would bring up for me.

Sitting with an energy is an extremely easy to do process. What is key to remember is to not judge the feelings. Very often when we have uncomfortable feelings we do what we can to distance ourselves from them because we consider those feelings unacceptable. In other words, we just don't want to feel them so we shut them out and ignore them for more pleasurable pursuits. What is important to remember is that the emotions are not bad in and of themselves. Emotions are our body's way of telling us we need to pay attention to some information that is trying to come into our awareness!

Once you accept that you have those strong emotions, take them into your meditation/prayer time. Connect to your heart. When you are there, begin to ask questions. "What does this emotion bring up for me?", is a great place to start. You may begin to get words, images or even memories. Again, don't judge what comes up. Just allow them to come without telling yourself they are random, irrelevant thoughts. You may even find it helpful to jot down a few notes.

In my particular situation, I began having memories--some of them were past life memories, but they all ran along the same theme. Every memory focused on occasions when I was silenced for expressing a very strong, truth-driven, intuitive divine feminine insight. It was always a male energy that was trying to stifle me (although not always done by a male). In many instances, physical strength was used against me to "keep me in my place" as a woman.

The personal lesson in all this is that I have a very powerful message to share that I need to be more willing to express, even at times when it is so threatening to others that they have to attempt to stifle it in some way. I don't need to fight about it, but I do need to be strong and be willing to stand in my truth.

It is amazing the insights that come to you when you allow yourself time to sit with those uncomfortable energies. Understand your heart is not only your direct connection to Source wisdom, but it is also your connection to Source strength and power. All the support you need will come to you at the appropriate time when you take the time to connect within.

Behind The Game Face

Years ago, I had an experience that still occasionally makes me question my own sanity. I was having a conversation with my first husband when I noticed something strange. It was my husband's body standing there, but his eyes were different. It was as though someone or something else was controlling his body and I could see this entity looking out at me. I knew it was not my husband. It shocked me so much my own Christian background took over. I raised my hand up toward him and said, "In Jesus name, I command you to leave my husband alone." Then I was shocked at myself for having said such a thing. I found myself saying, "You probably thought that was really stupid, didn't you?" The strangest part of that experience was when he replied back, "No."

I have discussed the presence of entities before. (Becoming Aware Of Entities) The thing is, most occasions we do not recognize them, either because we are so used to seeing them and they appear normal or because they have hidden themselves behind much more pleasing personalities. The hidden personalities--those behind the game face--are what I wish to address today.

How can we carry entities around without being aware of them? How is it that some people have extremely evil entities inside themselves that go unnoticed by others?

There are entities (usually powerful ones) who understand if they were to appear at normal times there is a likelihood they will be detected. Detection brings the problem that other people will help the one carrying the entity get rid of it. These entities usually prefer to remain in the background until such time as they can appear without impunity. This is why many of our leaders and celebrities appear all goodness-and-light while they hide horrible secrets. Understand that what appears before you may be the real human soul--the one that is just like the rest of us.

How can we know there is something we need to be cautious around? By asking questions and consulting our hearts! Even though you do not sense danger at that moment, asking your heart if there is anything you need to be aware of that could become a problem later on is a good place to start. Just asking the question allows you to become open to additional information.

When we take situations at face value, we can miss information that may help us down the road. When we are aware there could be something hidden behind the game face, we are less likely to become victims. We are empowered to act in ways that keep us whole and heal the planet. Continue to stay open and be aware.

In This Moment Of Now

What are you doing in this moment of now?

Are you beating yourself up for mistakes you've made? Are you wondering how you could have approached a situation differently for better results? Do you regret something you said to a friend, loved one, or business associate? Are you sorry for the opportunities you've allowed to slip through your fingers? Maybe your time is more pleasantly engaged remembering better times in the past? Regardless of the positive or negative nature, all these thoughts indicate you are living in the past.

Are you dreaming of something more? Maybe you're thinking of moving to a new location or to a new home? Maybe you're contemplating making a job change that will be a better fit and make you happier? Perhaps your future plans involve travel or getting married and starting a family. On the other side of the coin, maybe you're concerned with losing your job or your home? Maybe you foresee a future of loneliness? Regardless of direction, these thoughts put you firmly in the future.

Spending brief periods of time in the past or the future is not a bad thing, but it can be distracting and often a waste of time and energy. At best, you are remembering positive energy or making plans for where you want to go in life. At worst, you are beating yourself up or worrying about all the negative things that could happen to you. The thing is, past or future, none of these things enable you to work in your full strength and power.

When you focus in this moment of now, you are aware. You have the ability to sense and experience your surroundings with your eyes, your ears, your tongue, your nose, your hands and your heart. In that moment you can feel the unity between mind, body and spirit. You have immediate understanding of what you can do in that moment that will make you feel good and happy and whole. You know that you are alive and that it is possible to get through anything if you just focus on what step to take next.

The truly mind-boggling thing about this moment of now is that now is the one place every moment of time exists. Pretend you are in a dimension where the limitations of time are gone. There is no past, because everything is present. There is no future, because, again, everything is present. All those moments in our lives we experience in sequential order are there simultaneously in the now.

This is what makes the now so powerful. When we live in the moment, we can more easily access all that is--past, present and future. It is in this place of now we can better access Oneness.

Again I ask. What are you doing in this moment of now?

Trigger Points Can Change Your Life!

You find yourself proceeding normally in the everyday routine of your life when, suddenly, something happens to set you off. You might feel angered or hurt over someone else's belief, whether it effects you personally or not. You may have undeservedly received the harsh end of someone else's pain. Regardless of what happened, you were left with all sorts of extreme emotions to handle. I call these incidents trigger points, and if you choose to let them they have the power to change your life!

Emotions, especially strong ones, are your body's way of letting you know an issue is trying to make itself known to you. Emotions are awarenesses coming to the surface. This is why certain people and situations always set us off (and why they may happen repeatedly if you don't understand it the first time). Emotions grab your attention and say, "There is something here for you to learn!"

Trigger points become situations where our fight or flight responses come out. We either fight and make the situation worse or we run away, not understanding that in both instances the problems come back later, often more aggressively. By taking the time to reflect on the situation (before fighting or running away), it is possible to learn what the situation is trying to teach you.

I'll give you an example. I have this extremely good friend that I would occasionally get into arguments with. Often these fights were so bad he would cut me off for a period of time. After this had happened a few times, I got wise and asked why this kept happening when I cared about him so much. As soon as I asked the question, I got this vision of what I now understand to be a past lifetime.

In that lifetime, I was the head high priestess in an ancient temple and my friend was the lead general in an army that conquered the city I lived in. Part of what the army would do to psychologically control the conquered people is to take over all religious structures, and this is how we met. Even though it was all meant to be done in a cold and methodical way, he ended up falling in love with me as I did with him. He even wanted to marry me, but I drew the line at that because I felt I would be betraying my people by taking on that symbolic commitment to him. We have been fighting ever since.

Once I saw this, it put my modern day relationship with this friend into perspective. I was able to see we both had a need to be right and we both had a need to be in control. I became much more aware of my interactions with my friend from that time forward, and I'm happy to say it has become much better as I let go of my need to be in control.

I am not saying you need to see a past life to deal with present day issues. Sometimes when you ask the question you receive common sense sort of information that helps you gain new insights and understandings. The key here is to ask the question! Questions help unlock insights you have previously failed to see.

When you find yourself in a situation where your emotions are particularly intense, stop and ask what you need to learn about the situation at hand. The insights you receive when you open up to the information can change the course of your life. Your life will become that much more calm and peaceful because you have gained the understanding the pain was designed to get you to see.

Trigger points can turn your stumbling blocks into insights if you allow them to teach you their lessons.

Change Your Perception, Change Your Outcome

I came into contact with the work of Dr. Wayne Dyer over nineteen years ago--around the time I became a single mom. Over the years, his thoughts and words became a source of hope and inspiration for someone who needed frequent help remembering what is important in life. Although I mourn his death, those things he left behind continue to illumine and empower me.

I have watched his movie "The Shift" several times this week. Each time, it has enabled me to see past the expectations I have for myself and my life. Each time, I have a growing awareness of how all the circumstances in my life that seem "bad" are really just there to help me learn. As I become thankful for those same things, my life begins to "shift" in unexpected ways. Blocks that were there because of my expectations of the way things were supposed to be are removed because I no longer see them as problems. I invite them--even encourage them--to come into my life. I don't judge them. I allow them (and that is why they are no longer blocks).

For example, my relationship with my daughter has always been rockier than my relationships with my sons. My daughter is very different from me. I have a tendency to work within society's guidelines, even while being a rebel in my mind. My daughter is definitely someone who marches to her own drummer. For someone as perfectionistic as I am, having a daughter who does not do things the way society deems them appropriate has been difficult.

However, after immersing myself in the thoughts and feelings "The Shift" brings out, I am looking at my relationship with her in a whole new light. Instead of seeing her rebellion and problems as negative things, I am beginning to perceive them as part of her growth and, inevitably, part of mine. The really cool part is, as I leave the struggle--the block--behind, my daughter's anger and frustration are decreasing. As I no longer feel like I am responsible for her and allow her to be more responsible for herself, she is growing in her ability to be responsible. We still have a ways to go, but things are changing for the better. While I don't expect things to be perfect, I do expect the problems that show up to be there in utter perfection.

Dr. Dyer's quote is really true! "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." When you begin to see the world's problems in their infinite perfection and become thankful for what they can teach you, the problems have a way of working themselves out. They are no longer problems but tools for growth and development!

When you change your perceptions, you change your outcomes. The power has always been within.

Eyes Open!

Today is the first day of September of 2015, and part of me really wonders if this month will be significant in the history of Earth. There has been a great deal of speculation within the conspiracy theory world about the potential for problems that I feel is worthy of review.

This month is the end of what is known as the Shemitah in the Jewish religion. The Shemitah is the last year in a seven year cycle where the people of Israel were commanded to waive debts and allow the land to rest by not planting any crops in it. It was meant to be a time to rebalance and reset. Interestingly enough, many of our most recent world economic crisis have happened at the end of the Shemitah period, including the housing bubble of 2008 and the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 (which had dire effects on the stock market several days later).

I believe numbers are very important to the powers that be and that there are no coincidences. Considering all the volatility in the financial markets lately with the Chinese revaluing their currency, the time for financial calamity seems ripe. If there is anything to this Shemitah cycle idea, September of 2015 would be the month for problems to hit.

Why do I point this out? I believe it is better to be on guard for potential problems. Problems are much easier to deal with if you have some foreknowledge and insight.

The thing we need to remember is this: We have the power to change negative outcomes!!! For years, we have lived under the belief that our financial system is set in stone. I am here to tell you it is not. Our economy is seriously out of whack. When you have a few people at the top of the food chain making billions of dollars while the middle class is shrinking and the poor class is growing, you have serious problems. The powers that be have managed to change things subtly enough that we have not even been aware of the changes and just accept the status quo.

The fact of the matter is, we do not need their financial system. Mother Earth has given us resources to use and live on. We have the ability to create what we need to survive and even thrive, and it is not dependent on money or their system.

As we move forward into the future, we must keep our eyes open. Understand the plans they have involve them controlling literally everything. We do not have to accept this paradigm. We have the ability to change the outcome by taking back our own power! Let's use this insight to create a world we can all live in and thrive!

Manipulation Vs. Awareness

I recently heard the statement, "Anything beyond 'No' is manipulation." The friend who said it was trying to set clear boundaries as part of her recovery process. I can see where she's coming from. In our society, our actions are almost always defined by "the rules" and our various responses to them. Everything we do is largely based on thoughts and ideas outside ourselves, and this is where our problems begin. Instead of consciously leading our lives through personal awareness, we are caught living the lives others want us to live through manipulation.

When we live in a state of manipulation, we allow others to define us. We live according to a set of rules that are supposedly designed to be for the greater good and allow our minds to guide us based on our previous experience within that framework. Manipulation clearly defines "good" and "bad" (aka judgment) and uses emotions like guilt, anger, and sadness to persuade people into following the rules. Living in manipulation is living in a place with clearly defined boundaries.

Living from the heart is living in awareness. It does not define things as good or bad, right or wrong. Rather, awareness draws your attention to those things that are important in the present moment. You may feel guided to actions you wouldn't normally take in your day to day life, and you don't judge yourself for doing them. You are not bound by "the rules". Rather, the Universe makes you aware of your own needs and the needs of those around you and encourages you to take action that benefits the whole.

Begin today by taking a closer look at the world around you. What draws your attention? The television? The tree dying in your yard? Another person? Ask questions that help you define what is drawing you there. (Am I watching television as an escape, or is there something happening in the world I can act on? If it's an escape, what can I change about my life that I don't need to escape from? Does what I'm watching inspire me in some way?) (Is there something I can do to heal the tree? Do I need to see the tree gets taken down because it is going to become dangerous?) (Is something wrong with the other person that I can help fix? Is the person acting in ways I should copy in order to improve my life?)

Living in awareness requires a whole new way of looking at the world. Awareness asks you to step out of the robot mentality and think for yourself. When you are finally able to escape the box society has placed you in, you free yourself from manipulation. Awareness allows you to express the BEing you were born to be!
