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 Universe Has Your Back!

It's amazing what can happen when you begin searching for answers and asking questions! Somehow, the Universe responds to the change in energy and presents new options! Seemingly impossible outcomes suddenly appear to be within reach. Even when we don't understand, the Universe has our backs!

I have overcome quite a lot in my fifty years of life. Some of my biggest obstacles (and opportunities) have been the result of a rather troubled relationship with my daughter. While I will not go into details at this time, our relationship has been a bit of a roller coaster ride even though we both love and care for each other tremendously.

Over the past couple of years, I have taken a hard look at my role in this scenario. I definitely have some codependent sort of behaviors that enable the troubled relationship between myself and my daughter. Although only my daughter can make choices for herself, the energy/frequency I project can influence her actions and reactions toward me. Changing my personal frequency into something that will encourage a healthier relationship has become key to what I wish to change about myself.

The past couple of weeks have been ones of profound change for my daughter. She has begun to recognize things in herself she wishes to change and is taking corrective action. What strikes me as interesting is, even though I was not aware of many of the changes she has been making at a personal level, the Universe has been preparing me for the changes! Through connecting to my heart and the Universe, I have been given the information I needed to prepare for what lies ahead. Even though my rational mind has been shocked at the changes, my heart has already seen such outcomes and was not taken by surprise.

My daughter and I are in the middle of this new journey, so I can't say exactly where it will lead. I just know that awarenesses have been given and miracles put into place. When you connect to the divine information within, you don't often see more than one step at a time. You begin a journey of faith--of trust in the Universe.

When you believe you are fully supported in your efforts, you are. The Universe really does have your back! Learn to trust it.

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.

Beyond Karma

While I believe that what goes around comes around, I'm not a big fan of most people's concept of karma. Karma is thought of by many as having to pay for mistakes you have made in the past, sometimes mistakes you have made in past lifetimes. I will confess that there are times when I can see someone else's bad attitude catching up with them and take a secret satisfaction in the way it plays out. That said, I don't believe karma is one endless prison sentence. Life isn't about paying for past mistakes. It's about making mistakes and learning from them so that you can go on and learn something new.

Karma is one of those religious concepts that can hold us in bondage. It does this by making us feel that the poor treatment we receive in life is something we deserve. When we feel we deserve poor treatment in life, that is what we receive. We block our own blessings!

Moving beyond our perceived karma is more a question of changing our frequency. That said, there are a good many things we need to overcome in order to be able to do that. For me, it is the journey of forgiveness. We have to be able to forgive ourselves for our own transgressions and mistakes. We have to be willing to forgive others for the pain they have caused us. We also need to be able to forgive the experiences, or traumas, we have endured as well as the energies that surround us in our environments. Moving beyond all these experiences changes our frequency/energy.

Karma is not so much about punishment as it is about controlling our state of BEing. Energy does carry over into the next life. Your choices in this lifetime determine where you end up in the next existence, based solely on the frequency you carry with you. Do what you can to rid yourself of blocks that come with living life. Choose forgiveness, and you will have the ability to move beyond your present problems into a new and beautiful life.

What Is Prayer?

People throughout the world have certain ideas about what prayer is. For some, it requires chanting or beads. Others believe the form or content is what is important. Regardless of your personal beliefs, I would like to challenge you to think of prayer in terms of energy/frequency. In this way of thinking, prayer would be defined as consciously connecting your energy to the energy of the Divine.

There are two important elements to prayer defined as energy: giving and receiving. Connecting to the Divine requires energy exchange. It is not merely one side doing all the talking and one side all the listening. It is a dance of sorts--a give and take that empowers and enriches all involved. You may ask, but you also understand more action may be required when the answer comes.

In my own personal prayer time, I come with openness and expectation. This is important as most of the time I function in a state of separation. Prayer is intentionally different. It is a time I acknowledge I am not alone and I am open to answers and power I do not have access to when I believe I am separate. It is this openness that creates a fundamental shift in thinking. I become aware of things I was not aware of before. I can even direct Divine energy to problems that need fixing. For example, when I am connected in prayer I can focus that openness and energy on my friend who is sick and consciously direct healing energy into his/her body.

Most days, we make prayer much more complicated than it needs to be. Use your awareness to open yourself to the energy that is Oneness, and allow it to guide you in ways that lead to new understandings and more positive interactions with the world at large.

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!!!

Who Are You In This Moment Of Now?

Tensions are high around the world as I write this. People are reeling from the trauma of events in Paris as well as in other parts of the world. The media would have you believe that all the world is evil and we can't avoid it. My question today is, who are you in this moment of now?

Take a few moments to sit in a quiet place where you can relax with your eyes closed. Inhale and exhale slowly, deep, cleansing breaths. Feel the tension and stress leave your body on your exhales while you focus on bringing light and peace into your body when you inhale. Shift your awareness to this breathing until you can feel your spirit resting comfortably in your body and not somewhere outside yourself (in imagination or otherwise).

When you are aware of your spirit resting inside your body, ask yourself a few simple questions. What is in my heart? Do I feel fear or love? If fear, is this because of circumstances within yourself or outside yourself? Allow yourself to let go of what is outside yourself as you focus on being present in your body in the now. Do you feel love? If not, allow yourself to connect to the love in your heart, which is always present. Understand that love is not only a part of you but a part of your connection to Oneness as well. Love is the force that binds us all together!!! Allow yourself to sit in this love until you begin to feel a sense of joy and peace. These are the frequencies you need to focus on and try to carry with you at all times.

In each moment of now, we can choose who we want to be! When we focus on love, we are choosing to carry that frequency. We are choosing to bring love into our physical world. Those around us respond in positive ways to that frequency.

Who are you in this moment of now? By focusing on the question we have the power to intentionally change the world!!!

Manifesting Peace

We believe we want peace. We look around at all the fighting, all the war, all the violence, yet one day does not become better than the next. The struggle is still a constant in our lives. Why is that? I believe the answer can be found within our own hearts!

Sit back. Close your eyes. Take a few deep, cleansing breaths. Picture yourself--your spirit or soul--contained within your physical heart. Feel yourself fully there in this moment of now. Take the time to explore all those things you find there. What do you find there? Do you feel peace or are you worried about something? Do you see/feel conflict in the world around you?

What you see/feel in your heart is important because what is in your heart manifests in your physical world. If you feel conflict with another person in your heart, it is present in your outer world. If you see the wars and violence in your heart, it becomes present in the world around you.

What can you do to change this? Use this heart meditation time to feel something different. Remember times in your life where you felt truly joyful and happy. Get very specific. Maybe your memory was of your birthday, where people were present to celebrate you! Notice the happiness around you. Ask yourself, "In this happy moment, was there conflict?" If you picked the best memory, the answer should be "no". Reflect on the feelings the memory brings up--especially the peace aspect. Allow yourself to sit with those feelings until you once again begin to feel them in the rest of your body.

The bottom line is, peace is either part of your frequency/energy or it is not. If you do not carry that vibration of peace with you everywhere you go, you will not see it in your outside world. Like attracts like. That's what the old saying "Birds of a feather flock together" means.

It is up to each one of us to BE peace in the world. If you profess peace but have conflict with a friend or family member or coworker, you are not BEing peace. You are not carrying that frequency. If you believe others have to change to bring about peace you are focused on something outside yourself which you have no real control over. The only thing this will accomplish is to keep you separate, and separation is not part of peace.

Peace is not merely the absence of conflict. It is also the understanding that, on some level, we are all truly interconnected and interdependent on each other. Until we are able to internalize this concept, we will continue to have conflict in our lives.

Peace, like everything else, is a choice. Manifesting peace is a matter of looking within and understanding we are all One.

What Energy Do You Want To Create?

Are you aware that the energy you project is largely a matter of intention? Most of the time, we don't give any thought to the energy we put out into the world. Consequently, the intention part of the process gets lost because we typically run on auto-pilot. All this means is that most of the time we are intending to go with what we already know!

Now that you understand this, are you happy with the energy/frequency you put out in the world? If not, here are a few tips to being intentional about the energy you create!

Tips For Creating More Positive Energy

1. Get connected to your heart! Not only will this help you see what energies you are creating and projecting, but it will also allow you to explore the reasons for those energies. If you see a problem, you can ask God/Source what you can do to fix it! Following the advice and wisdom that comes from your heart will automatically change your frequency to something more positive!
2. Focus on those you love! Take a few moments every day and think about all the beings you love. They could be human, animal, plant life, Mother Earth, etc. Remember those loving feelings you have toward them as well as all those things they provide back to you, including love. Love is an extremely powerful frequency. When you remember and feel it, you can then project it out from yourself toward everything you encounter.
3. Listen to healing music (or create your own)! Your heart will guide you in this area. As you listen to such music, the frequencies created with be absorbed into your own frequency and then be projected out by you. 
4. Laugh! Laughing is one of the best ways to change your frequency! Not only does it change your energy, but it has a very healing effect on your body that can actually take away pain and cause physical healing!
5. Physically connect to Mother Earth! Take off your shoes and walk in the grass. Lay on the beach. Place your hands on a living tree. Gaia gives off her own frequency that you can absorb when you directly touch her! It can physically heal your body as it tunes your frequency to hers! Take advantage of this free resource!

It is up to each one of us to take responsibility for the energy we create in the world. After all, what we project will either heal or hinder our own personal growth and the growth of others. Choose to be a force for light and keep your frequency raised high!

Inner Healing, Inner Peace

Over the years, I have done much work to fix all those broken places inside of myself. Sometimes the problems seem endless as I jump from one problem to the next. What amazes me most is how the world around me really does change when something gets fixed and I put out a slightly different frequency.

I've had a really huge personal shift lately because of an unhealthy attachment I recognized and was able to let go of through renouncing the spiritual contract I had with this person. The amazing thing is, because this relationship also affected someone I am close to, the break has helped my loved one in very profound ways. It is almost as though my loved one has changed overnight into a much healthier and happier person. I am blown away by how changed my own life is because of this shift.

Understand those points of stress in our lives are there for a reason. They are there to point out all those things you need to fix in yourself. When we don't have inner peace, we need inner healing.

I cannot heal you. The only person who can do that is you. What I can do is help you identify those places you need to work on. What I can do is offer up some of the tricks and techniques I know of that have helped me over time. Over the next few months, I hope to offer much of that information here on my blog (for free!!!).

When we heal our inner world, we change our frequency. When we change our frequency, all those things we attract into our lives change. Because we are all connected, when we change ourselves we really can change the world.

It begins with a new way of BEing.

On Finding Love

I was very broken when my first marriage ended. I invested everything I had in that relationship, and somehow it was still not enough. In the end I felt like a shell of my former self, empty and lifeless. It took several long months before I could appreciate my giving nature enough to realize that I deserved to receive as well. At that point I began looking for a relationship that was more worthy of me. It took over ten years to find it.

I made some interesting discoveries along the way. While I met and went out with a lot of people, there were only two besides my current husband that I really had any sort of relationship with. It took about two months with each of them before I realized they were not what I was looking for.

With my first husband, I felt like I knew him from the very first date (at this point I definitely believe I did know him before). We meshed from the beginning, and I felt extremely comfortable with him. At the time I thought being comfortable was a good thing--like that meant we were supposed to be together. What I now understand is that we were vibrating at a similar frequency, but that wasn't necessarily a good frequency for either one of us to be in or aspire to.

The first brief relationship I encountered during my days as a single mom began really well. He was intelligent and very handsome, successful and ambitious. He believed in working hard and playing hard. He had the money to treat me to dinner at nice restaurants and concerts, and we had fun together. This man had many of the characteristics I believed I wanted in a relationship. He was also proud and perfectionistic with very little sense of humor, and expected to be doted on. I never got around to introducing him to my kids because on some level I really didn't think he could handle them. It dawned on me after spending two months with him that he treated me much like my ex-husband had. When I realized that, I broke off the relationship.

The second relationship seemed a little more promising initially. He asked for my input, had a wonderful sense of humor and even was a good father to his own son. After a while though, I began catching him hiding important details (also something that had happened with my ex). Again, I realized the relationship was not where I needed it to be, so I broke things off.

I appreciate both men and the opportunities I had to explore these relationships. Even though they did not work out in the long run, both taught me things about myself I needed to know. Both taught me things I needed to look for in a healthy relationship. In those respects, these relationships helped heal some of what was broken in me, and I am truly and profoundly grateful.

My relationship with my current husband actually did not begin all that well. Before we began dating, I knew he was a kind and strong person that I admired. What I didn't anticipate was how strange it would feel to be treated well. Because I was not used to it, I initially pushed it away because it made me uncomfortable!!! Fortunately, I was able to analyze my discomfort enough to recognize what was causing it. I forced myself to live through the initial discomfort until I was used to being treated this way.

With everything I've learned, the most important is this: we receive the treatment we believe we deserve. If you find yourself being used and abused by others, understand there are underlying self esteem issues. At that point, it is important to look at yourself with new eyes. Focus on your good qualities and ask yourself if you are receiving back what you give out. When you begin to appreciate and understand your own value, so will everyone else.

Love is always out there for us if we are willing to step out and demand something more!

The Power of Words

I've always been intrigued by words. In my own life, I know the many times words have been used to bring me down, put me in my "place", injure me. I remember many of the times words were used to lift me up, envision more, heal me. I have used words to help a situation. Sometimes my words have led to more chaos and destruction. Words hold great power.

I was always fascinated by certain phrases in the Bible regarding the power of words. For example, Genesis begins with God speaking the earth into existence. "And God said, 'Let there be light.' and there was light." He continues to speak and various elements appear. In the book of John in the New Testament, it begins with the phrase, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Christians commonly use this to refer to Jesus as the Word. Clearly, words hold great power.

What is it about words that contain so much power? Words are sounds, and sounds are frequencies! Everything in our world is expressed as frequency. Frequency takes on form. Consequently, sound (and words) do have great power!!!

As lightworkers, it is important to control this power. I know there are times when I said something in anger, not thinking about potential consequences, and negative things resulted. There are times when I consciously say things that I know will empower people in their gifts, and these same people are able to use that ability in even more expansive ways.

We all have so much more power than we give ourselves credit for! Understand that by harnessing the power of our words, we can expand our ability to create change in the world. Whether that expansion is creative or destructive depends on how we express our own unique frequencies.

Choose your words carefully.

Of Frequency and Wheels

Saw this posted online, and it begs to ask, "If someone can make something this beautiful and creative using car parts, what other beauty can be created from unexpected sources?"

My hat is off to you Andrew W Huang!!! You have given us all something to think about!!!

The Power To Change The World

It can be extremely difficult living with someone diagnosed with mental illness. On good days, things may be relatively calm and peaceful, but on bad days all hell breaks loose as accumulated problems explode onto the surface. Yesterday was one of those explosion sorts of days.

Even though I have done tons of research and have my own personal experiences overcoming depression, sometimes what you know that could help someone else goes unheard. There is a great deal of truth in the old expression, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." 

When it's a family member who is suffering, it is all the more painful. You want so much to take the pain away and make it better, but you can't. People have to want to change and be willing to put the effort into it themselves. Otherwise, any change that takes place will probably not take root and will die out eventually.

As wrong as this seems, sometimes the only thing you can do to help someone else is to allow them to fall. That's right. I said it. We have to be willing to let them fall. It gets hard when people have to fall a long ways down before they are willing to pick themselves back up, but that's the way the process works! Falling and picking yourself back up is all part of that learning and growing process. Mistakes are good things when you use the insight they bring to help you make better decisions in the future.

Ultimately, the only thing we have the power to change in this world is ourselves, but don't underestimate that power! Each one of us carries a presence--an energy/frequency--that has an effect on everything we come into contact with. If your energy carries calm and peace, that is the energy you will create in the world. If your energy is violent, violence will follow you. If you carry unconditional love, that presence will be spread to all those around you and rebound back to you.

It is through changing our frequencies we are able to change the frequencies of others. It is not what we do, nor is it what we teach them or show them. The power to change the world lies in your BEing. Use your intention to change your frequency to one of love and peace and you will find your world will blossom into a much kinder, gentler place.

BE the change you wish to see in the world!!!

The Power of Changing Your Frequency!

What sound (and frequency) can do!!!

What can you do to change your own frequency to make your world more beautiful?

A Great Visual of Frequency/Vibration!!!

I came across this Youtube video and realized it was a brilliant way to give you a visual of what I mean when speaking of frequency and vibration!!! This is exactly what scientists measure when they look at frequency! It's all about the differences in waves! Notice in particular the wave-like movement of the strings!!!

Food for thought for sure!!!

A Brief Introduction To Energy

What is energy? Defined, energy is the ability to do work. Energy is action. It is moving, and in very real ways energy is alive! It is this moving, "living" part I wish to focus on!

Everything is energy, and scientists can measure this movement as frequency. Some energies move very quickly. Others move very slowly. Everything from people and animals, to buildings and vehicles, to paintings and music, to plants and rocks, to emotions and thoughts, can be measured in palpable ways.

I view these energies/frequencies as the "essence" of all things--their hearts and souls.This essence of all things is what I wish to explore in this blog so that you can learn to hear them for yourselves and glean the rich information they all want to impart to you!

We are all born with the innate ability to sense these energies. However, as we grow and experience the world, we often begin to ignore this information in favor of the information that can be obtained through the five senses and the rational thinking mind, which puts this physical sensory data together. While I won't deny these senses and rational thinking are important, I wish to help you increase your knowledge base by pointing out those subtle day-to-day things we ignore.

I invite you to explore these energies with me! Together, we can learn much more than we previously though possible!!!
