ASCENSION UPDATE May

Well it certainly has been a challenging month for many of us with the tests coming one after the other. Many have been through yet another deep clearing process and some are still going through it. Computer glitches occurred as if it were a mercury retrograde period and all sorts of other weird and wonderful random events happened, which sometimes made us feel as if we were on a different planet!

Note to all Sensitives (particularly members of The Healing Prayers Circle):
There has been an increase in requests for The Healing Prayers Circle and many dramatic stories abound regarding dear Souls and the way they are choosing to leave the planet. This can be very draining unless you remain in detached mode. We can be empathic to their plight and send healing, prayers and energy as usual, but we must ensure that we are detached emotionally from their situation. Many who trained as healers will remember the warnings they got from their tutors about not taking on your patient’s/client’s symptoms. Well this is a timely reminder. Stay in the higher vibration of love when dealing with the requests, use the Ho’oponopono technique which will help you and help them, and remain in a professional therapeutic detached mode. When we sink into a deep well of compassion we can get stuck and find it all getting to us, that is when we start to get tired of it all and start taking on symptoms. To be of use for service in this way, it is essential that we look after ourselves first otherwise we will be no use to anybody. Much of the healing occurs on the higher levels nowadays, we are not required to fulfil this role in the same way as we used to by being so physically hands on. Attuning to the higher love vibration is the key and is the reason distance healing is so very powerful. It is more about being a witness to what is happening and keeping our emotions out of it so that we can be effective channels for healing.

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS

Many are suddenly finding themselves displaced and having to move from the home/area that you have been in for some time now. This is all part of the Divine Plan moving you to where you are needed and where you need to be for the next chapter of your life and Ascension journey. It’s unnerving and unsettling to have to uproot, leaving behind memories and people, and also the person you were in that place, not knowing where you will go next or who you are going to become in the new place you are going to.

Our ‘Lighthouse’ essence can help during this difficult transition time, here’s an extract from the Essence Definition:
“For that difficult time when you may be going through great transition and feel you have no roots. For anyone who may be feeling very unstable, unsettled, who feels the ground underneath them is moving and is not at all stable or settled. When your world has been turned upside down and everything feels shaky. For those who are feeling ungrounded. For those who fear transition or have a fear of the unknown. This essence offers a beacon of hope and provides the anchoring needed, reminding you that you always have the support of the Earth. This essence provides tremendous strength, tenacity and durability. It assists with flexibility and helps you to cope with situations that may be causing stiffness in the body by bringing in a more flexible attitude in how to deal with what is going on. It balances the male and female sides, yin and yang, (sometimes events can cause us to go into survival mode or ‘doing’ mode and we become out of balance). This essence is regenerating. It replaces fear with joy, and brings excitement about the new adventure ahead and what is to come. A feel good factor like the sun warming your skin, this essence will uplift you.
“Let the star that you are shine and come forth, holding that star out on its own for the whole world to see”.
Don’t despair, have hope, there is great joy and excitement on the way”.

The lower vibrating energies started ganging up and trying to knock us off centre, they have also tried to sabotage us on many different levels and in many different ways. The negative messages being bandied about by the media has really sucked the masses into a lower level of fear than ever before. And this mass 3-D lower level fear is really mucking things up for everyone. As well as the heavy negativity there have been blatant displays of egos from those you least expected, which was quite a shock. This definitely is a time when the wheat is being sorted from the chaff, where those that walk their talk are really learning about those who only talk the talk. And so for many of us, we have had to walk away from relationships and friendships yet again, because they no longer match our new vibration and are not headed in the same direction. This is hard, as yet something else that felt familiar has left our lives and it can leave us feeling terribly lonely and unsupported. The dilemma of the advanced Lightworker is the feeling of isolation and aloneness in the place where you reside and carry out your way of service. Inside you know that you are never alone, but the warm human side of you seeks companionship with those that will honour and support you in the same way that you will for them. Remember this is a process that makes space for those more likeminded people to come into your life. Accept the feelings of loneliness, because you know that they are very temporary, because even as we speak the synchronicities are being put into place for you to meet new contacts who will match your vibration so much better.

For the Lightworkers it has been a lot harder to keep your vibration high and not get sucked into the lower energies, in fact it has been downright exhausting at times. We knew this would happen. We have been told by the Elders predictions that it would get darkest before the dawn. We have to remember to protect ourselves, our beloveds and our spaces (homes/environments) from here on in. And we also have to watch our backs a lot more. You may find you have had to start using your protection techniques again (I have certainly had to start using ‘The Protector’ spray mist a lot more recently).

However, after a shaky start to the year, things are starting to flow more effortlessly now. The first quarter of this year hasn’t been easy particularly for Lightworkers and those in the holistic/healing arts. Tests on every level have occurred to the point where some have felt like they were on their knees wondering how much more they could take. Tough tests indeed (particularly the financial ones when many wondered ‘Should I carry on?’). All of this was a necessary part of our clearing as we enter this next, new phase. Much still remains unknown, although many have received clarity about some steps they can take towards their goals and dreams. Trust in the Universe to guide you. Call upon your own guides and angels to help you stay on track and in tune with your own inner compass.

Now is the time to allow ourselves to be guided by our inner Soul Compass. When we follow the inner promptings and directions it gives us, we cannot go wrong and you will find that everything takes less effort, things fall into place, the synchronicities you need start to occur and you once more feel in the flow. However, there will be one or two log jams along the way too. When that happens and the flow stops and you feel stuck, stop everything, take some time out, go do some domestic chores or gardening to help you work through the block. Do some self healing (the EmoTrance technique is helpful here) or go to a healer to help you clear the block. Trust your inner Soul Compass to guide you and keep you in the flow, then all that you need will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Physically there have been more health crises, what you may have been ignoring or putting off is now raising its head and saying ‘deal with me!’ Some have had stomach upsets which slowed you down for a while. There were the usual feelings of lethargy and difficulty in finding your mojo to get anything done and feeling like you wanted to sleep all the time. Others have had sore and croaky throats (their throat chakras are clearing because of the increased communication/channelling work they will soon be doing). You may have experienced aching joints and muscles and strange little pains in the oddest of places (like a tiny little place on your hand or foot that hurts for no particular reason), these pains can be quite sharp and stabbing but only last a few minutes. This is the rewiring of your energy pathways. When this occurs, find time to massage your hands and feet more as this will help to clear the energy channels/meridians. Many have experienced dizziness that sometimes feels like jet lag, this is a common Ascension experience as you adapt to the new frequencies. Slow down, do only what must be done and find time to rest when you feel like this. Like jet lag, it comes in waves but does soon pass and you can carry on as usual. (I have been using our ‘Travel Buddy’ spray mist every time I go through this phase, it helps bring me back into balance and settle down those weird jet lag symptoms). You may also have started ‘hearing’ the high pitched tones of the new energy frequencies; it is like hearing the air (that quiet space around us that is usually silent) sometimes. I have heard these tones all my life (BTW – they are not tinnitus), but have noticed that in the past couple of weeks they have started increasing again.

Note to Earth Sensitives: there has been a huge increase in earthquakes in the past month (particularly Oregon, Aleutian Islands, Arizona, Mexico, Vanuatu etc). It is absolutely essential that you remain grounded at all times otherwise you will start to feel wiped out from your premonitions, because you feel them so directly through your body. The more grounded you are and the better you look after your physical*, the better you will be able to cope with the stream of events that is now occurring.
(*Refer to your ‘Ascension Tips’ book for further information).

Remember this is the Year of the Rat; it is all about step by step progress. So be reassured that every little step of change that you are now taking will reap you huge rewards (especially next year) so be patient if things seem to be slow in coming to fruition.


FOCUS FOR THE MONTH AHEAD:

Maintaining feelings of peace within
Check yourself several times a day and bring yourself back to a place of peace.
Attuning to the higher level of Love at all times
Every time you have a quiet moment check your link, enjoy staying there for a few seconds and then carry on with what you have to do.
Enjoying the physical body
Finding pleasure in food, in bathing, in dressing, in sensuous relationships, continually giving thanks for every part of your body, blessing every aspect of your physical being.
Attitude of Gratitude
Giving thanks often during each day for every little thing, even the times when you aren’t too happy with what is happening, remembering to give thanks at the end of the day before you go to sleep.
Being in the flow of Creativity
Staying in the flow, being guided by your Soul Compass, watching the little things manifesting effortlessly as you work towards manifesting the bigger things.

Because of the preparations for the upcoming Women’s Retreat, I only have spaces for two clients for 1-2-1 sessions this month. If you are having a difficult time working through issues that the Ascension Process may be bringing up, you may find this 1-2-1 support helpful. Contact me for more details.

If you have concerns about your health, I strongly advise you to see a qualified medical practitioner.

April Feng Shui Tip

Feng Shui Diaries – Update

I am continuing with my clearing process and finding more things I can get rid of. I will sell some of these on E-bay and donate the rest to charity.

I have reduced magazine clutter by only buying one UK magazine per month (instead of several) and I greatly enjoy it when my Oprah magazine lands on our doormat every month as there is so much in there, it is a feast that lasts me all month. My mom-in-law and I also swap monthy magazines which we both enjoy doing for each other.

April Feng Shui Tip
The laundry cupboard/airing cupboard is where I store our bed linen and towels. The top shelf is quite high so my husband kindly gets the bed linen down each week, however he doesn’t do this in the tidiest way and each week I end up having to re-tidy everything on the shelf that he has pulled in various directions! Here’s a great tip I came across which has really helped to solve this problem:-

Duvet Sets – fold and place duvet cover, bottom sheet and pillow cases into one of the larger pillow cases from the set. Fold the end over and place on your shelf. Do this for all of your sets. When you pull out your duvet ‘packet’ it comes out easily and you don’t have sheets and pillow cases tumbling all around you, plus the shelf looks really neat and tidy!

Dontcha just luv Spring cleaning time!

ASCENSION UPDATE - April 2008

Well what an interesting few weeks; full of surprises, twists and turns and anything but boring. Can you feel that the energies have changed, that some of the pressure has eased up? I can really feel the Spring energies coming in now, and I feel that we are all being helped now (especially those of you who have really done the work over the past few months) to move forward.

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS

Well what an exciting adventure we have been on these past few weeks, wow things are really starting to happen for us now and we are going to have more of the same over the coming month.

Starry Slug Syndrome
You may have experienced this Syndrome during the past few weeks when you just felt so tired that you couldn’t do anything except sleep. Naps during the day, going to bed early and sleeping deeply all occurred. So did the need to keep eating! This always worries people when they are spending a lot of time resting or sleeping, they worry about not burning up the calories they are taking in. Thing is you are burning up the calories because of the increase in speed of your vibrational rate whilst you go through this phase. (Refer to your book “ASCENSION TIPS – How to Survive the Ascension Process” for more information about this Syndrome).
If you are carrying any extra weight, which chakra is it protecting? You may need to spend some quiet time with this chakra and ask it ‘what is going on with you?’ Shamanically, you need to be a certain weight in order to do the work and carry that amount of Light within you. (That is why male shamans always have a good solid belly!). Weight gains like this are usually temporary whilst you are working through the issues in the area/s concerned. However, the Starry Slug Syndrome isn’t an excuse to lie on a couch and pig out; it is a process that needs to be respected like all processes. On the other hand, you cannot be underweight and working at these high frequencies or you will become ill because your body will not be able to withstand what is going on. Moderation and balance is the key here.

Journey to the centre of the Self
Before moving forward and out, many were pulled back and taken down deep. A great deal of deep internal work occurred as more deep layers of what you no longer need were taken into the Light, healed and let go of. For some the revelations were shocking, as if the blindfold were removed from your eyes and you saw with shocking clarity what has really been going on in your life. This may have manifested as health challenges, relationship challenges, it may have been to do with your job and how you want to work, it may have been to do with your home and environment. These revelations brought many tears (wonderful, your own cleansing rain) and a great deal of letting go. Letting go of what has been a familiar rut for so long yet now feels so wrong. Yes, there is that scary feeling of being alone and unsure where you are going next or what is going to happen next but you are used to that routine by now. I have to say this was one the deepest experiences in a long time for many, but how grateful we all are for that experience and the opportunity it has brought us to make the necessary changes in our lives.

Pioneers forging new trails
You may have found yourself suddenly going in a completely new or different direction, guided only by instinct. Congratulations! You are bang on track. Suddenly people are becoming the new Pioneers, forging new trails and explorations to open new pathways for the rest of us to follow. Whether that is in a MBS context, or green and sustainable living, or new products and systems, new ways of working, etc, it is all wonderful. Keep on keeping on!

Out of the box experiences
You may suddenly do something that is so out of character for you. It may be something completely on the spur of the moment. You go ahead and do it and it is not until afterwards that you sit down and think, wow! I can’t believe I/we did that! It is as if something else took over, as if the Spirit within suddenly took charge. Actually you are going with the flow and riding the Energy Wave that is passing your way.

Manifestation Mastery
Have you noticed how quickly you can manifest things now? I mean the big things as well as the little things. It’s as if your Law of Attraction techniques and beliefs are finally paying off. Sometimes the manifestation happens so quickly that it knocks you off your feet. You may panic a bit and think I’m not ready! But you are, you are so ready, this is what you have been waiting for and working towards. If you believe it will be so then it will be so. Never have I seen beliefs manifest so quickly in all the years I have been studying this stuff. Manifesting the little things has become so automatic now that we are almost taking the skill for granted. (My husband who is not into this kind of stuff, continually asks the ‘Parking Angels’ for parking spots and they have never let him down. Now he says it without thinking even when other people are in the car. It’s wonderful!). That was practice for manifesting the bigger things and it is such fun doing this! Celebrate being a Master or Mistress of Manifestation.

The wonderful thing about the above three sections (Pioneers/Out of the Box/Manifestion) is that when you hand over to your inner Self, surrendering and letting go into that guidance, allowing yourself to go with the flow of the Energy Wave - everything falls into place effortlessly and easily. For example; the people you need to see are available and they can do it at the time you want. The item you wanted is not only still available it has also been reduced in price. You come across someone who can help you fix that outstanding problem that you have been having trouble with. You start getting really good business referrals. Your social life starts expanding and you enjoy meeting new people on the same wavelength as you. You find the job/course/class you have been waiting months for is starting up just down the road from you. The benefits happen in all areas of your life not just one. So when you feel that Energy Wave coming, get your Spiritual surfboard out and ride it! You never know where it will take you.

So, yep, things are really starting to move now. If you have done the work and your vibration is matching the higher energies then you are definitely on your way now.

The tough stuff will still go on from time to time, it’s part of the contrast of life. The trick is to face it head on and deal with it straight away. When you do you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly matters become resolved and solutions appear. Clarity and focus return and suddenly you know what needs to be done in order for you to go in the direction you want to now go in. So whilst things can be very trying (and painful) at times, these moments pass very quickly once you deal with them. It is like dealing with minor irritations as quickly and efficiently as possible so that you can get on with what you really want to get on with.

If you are having a difficult time working through issues that the Ascension Process may be bringing up, I have spaces for 1-2-1 sessions during this coming month. Contact me if you would like more details.

Spring Blessings!

Spring Equinox and Happy Easter Blessings to you all!

Well my goodness the Equinox energies are sure stirring things up energy-wise, as well as the imminent Full Moon pulling us. (Have you noticed how the animals are reacting already to the energies? We've got skitty kitties and either moping or loopy dogs everywhere!)

The local human population tends to get a bit rowdy around here on Full Moon, so we shall stay home and close the curtains and let the loons enjoy the Full Moon energies.

This is such an auspicious time for us all. All of these energies (and the effects of the planets at the moment) are pulling us into change whether we want it or not. The pull is so strong that it would be futile to resist it. Some have already started making changes in their lives, they have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and are doing what has needed doing for so long. Whether that is finally taking control of your health or your finances, your work or your relationships, your balance between doing and being etc. We are finding inner strength and power to speak our truth and to stand up for what we really want now, and the good thing is that most of the time this is being received well by the others around us. In fact when you do this, you inspire them to do the same. By being courageous you give them the courage to make some kind of change in their own lives.

This Year of the Rat is a year where if we really put our noses to the grindstone we will reap multiple rewards next year. It's a year to work hard and to do it all step by step. That is the key to this year, taking things step by step and building a solid foundation this year for all areas of our lives.

Lately I have been taking a look at the different sections in my Wheel of Life and revising what I want in each section, plus how much I want it and the steps I need to take to start making it happen. I am grateful that we are being given the opportunity to take things step by step, it allows us to think things through thoroughly and plan accordingly. (That doesn't mean that spontaneity is out, on the contrary it can be a blessed relief at times!).

So take a look at your Wheel of Life, what seeds do you want to sow? Where do you want to build more solid foundations? What needs improving? What don't you need any more? What would you like more of?

Wherever you are, have fun and celebrate the beauty and magic of Spring.

May the Easter Bunny bring you many surprises in his/her Easter Basket and may your eggs hatch many beautiful things for you over this coming year.

Spring Blessings to you and yours.

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS - March 2008

Well that has to be the most interesting Mercury retrograde period I have ever been through. Usually in our house we come through Merc Rx fairly unscathed but not this time. In the home we had several computer glitches and the TV and digital box were very temperamental. On the plus side we got several things fixed and replaced that needed doing and I got more done in the house. On the business front I completed some long outstanding jobs and what a relief to finally get them done. But it was on the personal side for me that Mercury retrograde really came into its own. Mercury pulled me back to take a look at what was holding me back and decided it was time for me to deal with it. This is the first time I have ever felt this during a Mercury Rx. I sent a prayer out to the Universe to guide me to the person who would be able to help and, in typical Elly fashion, it was someone I knew and the opportunity was right under my nose. Here are the details:-

There are times when we all need a coach (even coaches need coaches!). I have been on a self developmental pathway for over 30 years and despite being trained in many therapeutic and healing disciplines, my own strong mind and stubborn will can still get in my way. I thought if this lady can help me to get out of my own way (and crack a tough nut like me) then she can help anybody!

I came across Amanda Goldston’s CHANGING LIVES programme and it was exactly what I needed. The timing was also perfect, as well as Merc Rx we were in the Eclipse window. The creative process that unfolded during our sessions revealed so much that was surprising, helpful and healing. As well as providing a selection of tools to work with, Amanda’s intuition was spot on with so many things and really helped to steer the sessions in the right way. (As an intuitive myself, I found this very helpful).

By the end of the programme, I was re-energised and more excited about my work than I have been in months. My state of overwhelm turned into something more structured and I now have a great plan to work with that I am very excited about. And I am a much happier Elly! She did it. Amanda managed to crack open a stubborn old nut like me and get to the good bits in a fun, productive and thoroughly enjoyable way. FFI: visit http://www.changinglivescoaching.com/

Amanda (a former Guest Contributor to our monthly E-newsletter) is greatly experienced in the business world and its technologies, as well as that she is a sensitive Intuitive and a downright lovely lady!

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS

Well the recent Eclipses sure shook things up and turned the stressometer up to the max! The Eclipse window (the time between the Eclipses) was unbearable for some folks who felt about as stretched as they could be. And throughout the world murders and violence increased, sadly around the time of Valentine’s. Many Sensitives and Lightworkers have been feeling really fed up, exhausted and wondering what the hell it is all for.

Physically - there have been back aches again (the area of your back will determine the issues that you were being asked to face) and neck ache which caused headaches. There have been snuffly cold-like symptoms and stomach upsets (which in usual Ascension style went as quickly as they came). You may have found that the areas of your body where the stress was being held (and that can be anywhere on the body) became bloated and swollen and felt downright uncomfortable. For me, after doing so much clearing work, I have been shedding skin like a snake as I shed off the old me and reveal the new me.

Emotionally and Mentally - y’all know what a rollercoaster ride it has been! One minute you are feeling peaceful and totally happy with your life and the next you are crying enough to fill the entire ocean! At the time of writing things seem to have settled, but I do wonder if this is the lull before the energies for the Spring Equinox start to build.

Spiritually - don’t neglect this side of yourselves. Spiritually nourishing yourselves will help all the other levels. So do make plenty of time for meditation and quiet contemplation, the clearer you are about what you want the more the Universe can move things into place for you. If you feel worried and uncertain, stop and take time out to rest and think and pray until you feel more clear about your purpose. There are times when you simply have to put yourself first. Heal yourself first. Get yourself fit and well first. And then you will have the strength and sense of purpose to cope with your life and the individuals in it.

Remember 2007 has gone, it is finished, it is over – but have you really let go of it yet? Or are you still trying to do things the same old way? Are you still blaming? As I have said before, the old ways of doing things are not working, that is why we are in a ‘one’ year. Remember that this year is about finding new ways of doing things, of laying our foundations for the next ten years with new ideas, new systems, new ways of loving, doing, being. The only type of going back we need to do is ‘retrieval’, similar to soul retrieval, finding those valuable shining parts of ourselves that we thought had gone forever and bringing them back to us, incorporating and integrating them, so that who we are now can shine brighter than ever. Who are you? Who do you want to be? How do you see yourself? How do you see yourself over the next ten years? This year is the start of that decade, this is the year to start living and being who you really are and who you really want to be.

Be kind over the coming weeks to yourselves and to others, as we build up towards the Spring Equinox. (The quarter festivals are always preceded by intense energies). Although I do feel that the intense pressure we had in February has now gone and March sees us going through a readjustment and settling phase as we prepare to launch ourselves and our projects with the new Spring energies. Whilst going through this phase you may panic and feel as if you have lost your motivation, well there’s no need to panic, allow yourselves to relax for a while until you feel your creative energies stirring up again. You will know when you are back on track and ready to go for it, so in the meantime allow yourselves a few days to chill and fettle around until your energy gives you the green light that your motivation is ready, willing and back on track. Don’t push the river, go with the flow and all will be well.

Support yourself and each other and celebrate the Equinox, celebrate the seeds you are planting for your future, turn your face to Grandfather Sun and thank Him for His lifegiving energy. This could be the best Spring you have ever had.

I personally am so grateful to Mercury and the Eclipses for waking me up to what I needed to get rid of. Eclipses always shake things up to reveal to us things that we have been refusing to see so that we can take action and move forward. This is such an amazing year of opportunity for us on all levels, let’s all hold hands and take a big leap together!

The dance of dis-ease

I have just returned from a trip to Ireland to see my relatives. We didn't get there in time before my Uncle John died and we also missed his funeral as it was two days later (they bury them quick in Ireland).

My uncle John died of liver cancer. I have been wondering why did he manifest this? As a therapist I am more than aware of the mind-body connection and have seen conditions reverse in clients so know its value and merit. John never drank, never smoked, I don't ever remember hearing him curse or say a bad word about anyone, he was a quietly spoken, kind man with twinkling eyes and a dry sense of humour. He was very caring, adored his family and work (he was the town's undertaker and also ran a garage). Him and his wife have diligently tended to my father's grave for us (he is buried at the graveyard in Ireland where many of my family are and now sadly John has joined them).

Whilst in Ireland I heard about something that happened in his childhood and wondered whether that was a contibuting factor, but he seemed to have gotten over that and was able to speak about it without too much trauma. So that didn't seem to fit for me. Was it the Gilbert's Syndrome that runs through that side of the family (his sister, my aunty Vonnie also died of liver cancer when she was 49)? Although that is not supposed to be a life threatening disease. Then one of my relatives told me that John had made a pact with God a few years ago, to take the cancer away from his daughter who had it (she had breast cancer) and that he would gladly take it on so that she could be free to look after her young children and have a good life. He gave thanks for his life and said that he had had his children and watched them grow and now it was her turn. Is this what happened?

All of my training and theories seemed to have gone out the window and I was left wondering whether we can really say the mind-body theory works.

I also saw clearly how far I have managed to come in my lifetime in overcoming some of the cultural downsides to being Irish. As well as the genetic poverty consciousness there is a mawkish need to continually talk about what is wrong. One of my aunts always talks about terrible things that have happened or are happening, I don’t think she even realises it. As we were driving down a road, she would point out things such as “that’s where so and so was killed in a car crash”, or “the man that lives in that house lost his son…..” etc etc. They do tend to indulge in the awfulness of everything and that is quite a heavy energy. The awfulness of things is what unites them. But as a therapist I know that they are attracting more awfulness because that is all they concentrate on. This Aunt is borderline leukaemia and not well at all, her daughter-in-law who is in her 20s and has a 3 year old son has been battling with leukaemia for the past four years – has she taken on her daughter-in-law's illness? Is their love for their family so great that they are taking on their illnesses? Is this part of their Soul contract?

Since coming home and reflecting on all of the above, I still believe in the mind-body connection as I have reversed health conditions in myself for the better (according to one Harley Street medical practitioner I should have been in a wheelchair by now) so I know it works.

There is so much depth to this subject, so much of it is to do with the free will of the individual. Another elderly relative passed on some great advice, he said "don't keep asking yourself why. You won't get the answers you seek. You will destroy yourself if you keep asking why." When I think of some of the major traumatic events in my life and the lives of those I love, this is good advice.

For now I am choosing to believe that the mind-body connection is relevant, that through our thoughts we can choose to create wellness or illness within our physical beings.

I would love to know your views on this subject (especially if you are a healthcare professional, healer or therapist).

Blessings

Total Lunar Eclipse

The Eclipse window closes with tomorrow's Total Lunar Eclipse. It has been an intense Eclipse season and the effects of tomorrow's Lunar Eclipse will be with us for the next 5-6 months.
It has been kicking our butts to really let go of the old ways of doing, living, being and loving. If we try to bury our heads in the sand or go into denial these eclipses will bring about events to really kick us into touch.

In this 'one' year, we have been given the most amazing opportunity to completely re-write and re-do our lives in whatever way we want. If you have been meaning to change a bad habit, improve your health/mind/emotions, change your image, change jobs/relationships/location, the kick-ass eclipse energy is going to help you do it. You have to make the decision that the time is now. You have to decide that the time is finally here to get off your butt and get on with it. And the wonderful thing is, the Universe will support you, you are not going to be alone. You have to take total responsibility for your life now on every level.

We finally get the chance to show the world our True Selves, no more hiding behind the masks of who everyone else thinks we should be, or staying stuck in that comfortable old rut, it's time to throw back the cloaks that have been hiding our magnificence and proudly present ourselves to the waiting world. The world needs you. The world needs your light, your love and your amazing talents. It's time to get our act together, hold hands and show off for a change!

So treat yourself to that new make-over on whatever level you need it. There is a world waiting for you.

Blessings
