Manifestation And The Divine Feminine

As I contemplate the year ahead--the year I am calling the Year Of Manifestation, something big and amazing jumps out at me. Manifestation is an act of creation. Although conception uses both masculine and feminine traits, creation is given over completely to the feminine side of things. That fact is extremely significant. Last year's energies were tumultuous because the world was transitioning from thousands of years of masculine control into a new era of feminine creation!

This does not mean women will be in charge or that we are going to a female dominated world. That is much too simplistic, and following up on such an idea would unbalance things in a direction we do not wish to go in. Understand we are all made up of both feminine and masculine traits. What I am talking about involves allowing yourself to use your Divine Feminine qualities of creation to help manifest a new world--a world in which we all desire to live!

Now is the time to do a full assessment of self. What are your gifts and talents? How would you like to see those gifts used in the world? If you are not sure, begin to look at all those things that make you happy and joyful. Do you feel happiest surrounded by and caring for family and friends? Maybe cleaning or cooking makes you feel more happy and clear. You might feel happy using your intelligence to solve problems at work. Maybe art or music makes you come alive. Maybe you are a healer and feel fulfilled helping others heal. Whatever your gifts are, don't judge them. Know they are needed in the big picture of creation!

This is also the time to nurture and grow your personal Divine Feminine qualities. Find time every day to connect to your heart through meditation. Ask questions about the direction you need to go in and listen long enough to hear the answers! Allow yourself to dream...to imagine...to envision!

The power of manifestation lies in your ability to connect to that Divine Feminine part of self--literally your heart! Allow yourself to use these muscles of creation to bring new life into the world. Who you BE in the world matters!!! Make sure your frequency is one that builds and raises the frequency of those around you. It is your Divine Feminine which will manifest a better world.

2016: The Year Of Manifestation!

Twenty-fifteen was a year of tremendous shifts. Energies changed quickly, and often painfully, as we tried to adjust. A good many people couldn't handle the changes and made the decision to give up in their present incarnation (aka passed away). A large portion of people on the planet experienced one of the worst years of their lives. There was a good deal of illness because of all the purging that needed to take place. The good news is, 2015 is over and we are entering a new time, a new era! Today we enter a period of healing and growth! I am calling it the Year Of Manifestation!

The biggest energetic shift in 2015 has been a shift in consciousness. Although we are a long way from everyone being awake and aware, the institutions that have ruled our planet for centuries (millennia even) have broken down to the point that the foundations are crumbling. Everyone is beginning to understand the need for change even if they aren't quite awake to truth. The world is looking for healing and transformation on a global scale! That is why the power structures (who normally work together) have begun to throw each other under the bus in an attempt to save themselves. "Look at him! He's the bad guy!", is their motto as they try to deflect the evil they themselves have done.

Twenty-sixteen will be an unprecedented year of change and growth as we continue the healing and renewal that can now occur because of the purging that began in 2015. Those on the planet who are awake and aware have felt the tremendous shift in energy as the shackles of our enslavement begin to be removed. We are starting to understand the tremendous power that has always resided in ourselves even though we have not always recognized that power.

Many of the institutions and understandings that held us back are no longer in place. The energies of 2016 are such that the manifestation of our thoughts and desires will now occur at a much more rapid pace. It is extremely important to be mindful of your thoughts! When you see a problem still going on in the world, go within to find its solution!  Think about what you want to see healed on the planet and ask your heart what you can do to help! The answers you seek reside in the place of our connection--the place of our Oneness!!!

Meditation is key in 2016! The more time you take to ground and connect yourself to Source energy, the better your manifestations well be! Connecting to Source will enable you to understand the power you hold, and you will not go into fear. (Note: Those in control want us to live in fear because their power grows as we turn our own power over to them so they can "save" us.) Learn to discipline your mind and emotions so your manifestations heal!

We have the power to create many positive and healing changes in the world! Allow 2016 to be the year you learn to center and heal yourself. The more we heal ourselves, the more our planet changes for the better!

Awaken To Self

Did you know that you are an infinite being of light and love? Did you know you are deserving of all the good things the world has to offer? Although this understanding is deep in the core of your being, you may be so disconnected from yourself that you forget these simple facts. It is time to remember who you are! It is time to awaken to self!

Take the time to get to know yourself better! I find the best time for deep self-understanding is to actually contemplate who I am during meditation time. Here is a list of questions to get started and re-acquaint yourself with you!

Questions For Self-Discovery

1. What is important to me in life? Family and friends? Career? Etc.
2. What things am I most proud of and give me a sense of accomplishment? List some of my experiences where I felt accomplished.
3. What activities bring me the most joy?
4. What are my talents and skills? How can I incorporate these things into my daily life if they are not already there on a daily basis?
5. What do I value about myself?

This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of questions for self-discovery. These questions are merely designed as a place to begin. Hopefully they will lead you to many more questions that will help you remember who exactly you are and where you hope to go in life! 

When we are awakened to self, we are more likely to tap into life purpose. We are more likely to allow ourselves to be who we are and enjoy the journey. Time to remember who you are so you have the opportunity to fulfill your life's purpose!

Meditation To Overcome Oppression

There has been a great feeling of heaviness during the past month. While I attribute some of it to the usual tug-and-pull of the Christmas holidays (and the often all-consuming urge to spend and acquire), I believe there is much more to it than that. The world has begun waking up in degrees not known for thousands of years. To counteract this awakening, dark ritual magic is being used to send darkness to anything that is light. If you are a lightworker or lightwarrior, you have felt the heaviness. It is time to intentionally break down the chains of this oppression and free yourself and others.

Sit comfortably in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Close your eyes and allow the muscles of your body to relax. Focus several minutes on your breathing by breathing in through your nose, out through your mouth. As you expel breath, make sure you concentrate on expelling any tension, stress, sadness or anger your body has been holding on to. As you breathe in, allow your body to bring in light, love, peace, and joy. Do this breathing until you feel the negativity has been removed and your being feels full of light.

Once this is accomplished, it is time to focus on protection. Envision an impervious white light surrounding you, allowing in strength and positivity while protecting you from anything that wishes to harm. Now is the time to ask for additional strength and protection from your guardian angels. Ask them to help you discern which energies you should allow in and which are better left alone. You may also ask more specific help from Archangel Michael, the angel in charge of protection, who can send additional warrior angels to guard and protect you when it is warranted. Asking for help is important as there are many circumstances where angels are not allowed to interfere unless specifically asked. Feel the shift of energy as your light/spirit body is allowed to shine without interference. Feel the light energy that is now allowed to pass to you, strengthening you.

As you sit in this protected space, allow your spirit body to expand. Understand this expansion you now feel is the unshackling of your spirit. Allow your heart to connect to Oneness, where everything exists and nothing is judged. This is the place you can now ask questions and receive answers--particularly about what you should do next in your activities to bring healing and wholeness to the planet. You are protected and safe, and the answers you need are now free to flow to you.

Any time you feel heaviness, you should take the time to unburden yourself by connecting to your heart in a protected state. You will gain the strength you need to throw off the oppression and be free to do the work you were called to do.

Heart, Intuition, And The Art Of Manifestation

A good many people believe manifestation is a matter of thinking positive thoughts and aligning your emotions until they are in sync with those thoughts, all rolled together with a healthy dose of thankfulness. While there is a great deal of truth in this idea, something key is missing: the heart. The bottom line is, if what you are trying to manifest does not line up with your core values and beliefs, no amount of syncing mind and emotion is going to get what you think you want. Intuition is the place to begin understanding those core beliefs and values.

Understanding self is key to the manifestation process. To do this, one needs awareness. Awareness is found in the place of connection within your heart. On a surface level, we can connect to what our hearts want by paying attention to all those things that make us happy. These become all those things we want to manifest. However, we often have energetic blocks inside that do not get addressed. These blocks keep us from manifesting what we truly desire. There are fantastic teachers and techniques out there who can help you get over such blocks, and I encourage you to seek them out for yourself. That said, ultimately you are responsible for doing the work for yourself. Teachers can only lead you to water. You are the one who has to choose to drink it.

Meditation is a great place to begin. By sitting in the quiet and giving yourself time to connect to Source energy, the more the Universe will speak to you. You begin to understand all those things that make you tick. You will see your piece in the puzzle and how it can be played. You will also begin to understand what you truly want, which are often not the same things the world tries to convince you that you want. Connecting to heart can be a surprising process, but the results will be amazing and very worthwhile.

If your heart is in alignment with what you desire to manifest it will be successful. Use your connection to heart and the intuition it brings to manifest the life you want and truly deserve!

The Balance Between Intuition And The Mind

Almost 20 years ago, I was told by my husband he wanted to separate. At the time I was still heavily invested in that relationship and still deeply in love with him. It was his desire that the kids and I stay in Georgia with my parents when he returned to Iowa. As I had no family support system in Iowa, that sounded like a good idea to me.

Several months down the road of this divorce journey, I had a dream. It felt extremely significant as I don't often remember my dreams, but I did this one. In the dream, my husband moved to Georgia to be closer to the kids. The thought that my husband would move to Georgia made me happy. I believed he would realize what he had lost and come back to me.

About a year and a half after that dream, my life was in shambles. My divorce had been finalized and I was the one who filed as I found out he was with someone else. My ex and his girlfriend had indeed moved to Georgia to be closer to the kids. While my dream had come true, nothing about it panned out as I had hoped.

The thing about intuitive insight is this: it isn't always what your mind wants to see and your mind can and will distort it. I believe I was given that dream in order to prepare for my ex being back in my life in a new and different way. However, back then I was not in the same place I am now. I didn't ask questions. I didn't seek any clarity or additional insight. Maybe if I had I would have understood he was not going to be coming alone.

The information was all there in my heart. Deep inside, I had known my husband had not been faithful to me. I tried to blame his behavior and the signs I noticed on depression or other circumstances. I was in a deep state of denial because I was not ready to give up on that relationship.

I believe the mind can play a good role when intuition comes into play. If I had allowed my mind to ask the questions that were there, I would have understood more and probably would have gained a great deal more insight. I would have been much more prepared for what actually happened and stronger through the process.

Hindsight is always 20/20. That said, I am much more likely to ask questions and look at intuitive information from different perspectives in present day. I am not perfect. I am still a work-in-progress, but every day I get closer to the person I want to be. I am becoming a person who is open to intuition and asks questions until I better understand the role this information is supposed to play in my life. The balance between intuition and the mind is key to living a more healthy and abundant life.

The Only Person You Have The Power To Change Is Yourself!

There's a hilarious scene in the movie "Big Fat Greek Wedding" where the main character, Toula, her mother and her aunt try to convince her father to allow Toula to work at her aunt's travel agency. Because it is a very male dominated culture, they must convince the father it is his idea to have Toula work at the travel agency. To do this, they invent a problem where the logical solution is to have Toula work at the travel agency.

Manipulation is common in our society. We operate under the false belief that others can be convinced what we believe is "right" is truth and accept it. Sometimes our charasmatic appeals are listened to. At other times we use coercion or manipulation to get our way. The thing is, others rarely change because of anything we do. The fact of the matter is, we cannot change the energy of others through superior argument, manipulation or coercion--at least not in the long term. True change requires a shift in consciousness/energy, and that can only take place inside the person.

Think about the times you have experienced big shifts in your life. Were these changes the result of anything another person did or said, or was it because you observed something new and had to change your belief to fit the new information? True and lasting change is the result of shifting consciousness, and this is something that can only occur inside yourself.

How can we use this observation to change the world? The answer is to become a better you! It is up to each and every one of us to BE the change we want to see in the world. If you want to see more peace in the world, you have to BEcome peace. If you want to see more love in the world, you have to BEcome love. Change occurs in others when they observe something and understand that is either what they want or what they want to avoid. It all has to do with energy/frequency. How you BE in the world matters!

Live your life is such a way that your focus is on improving yourself. As you solve your own problems and become better, the people around you will take notice. Chances are they will want many of those same changes for themselves. At the point they ask about what you have done, go ahead and share. They will then be open and will more readily make the changes they need to take to improve themselves. It is not a quick process, but it is a lasting one.
