2013 OVERVIEW

 2013 OVERVIEW

 

It has been a challenging start to the year for many, including myself, which is why I haven’t published anything for a while.  The e-zine and Blog take a long time to write and are offered free.  They can only be written when I have the time, space and energy to do so.  Life recently has required all of my energy and attention and didn’t leave me enough to complete the half written offerings from this month and last month.  They are also meant to be a window to showcase the work that I do, the therapies/services/products that I offer, and if I do not receive any orders/bookings from them, I have to now decide whether it is worth the time and effort required, when that time and effort could perhaps be channelled into different areas of business revenue.  However, I do love writing the updates, I find it creatively satisfying and still enjoy receiving the downloads from Spirit, so for the moment, I will continue to share as and when I can.

2013

Well, we made it through the hype of 2012.  Even if you tried not to buy into it, energetically we were all affected in one way or another by the anticipation.  Having got through December 2012, we all thought, yippee that’s it; we’ve made it through the Ascension journey and survived.  Which is true, however, what we didn’t expect was the post 2012 fall-out as things continue to settle.

We have been on a ten-year plus Ascension journey, which has now ended.  Have we ended up where we thought we would?  Are we who we thought we would be?  Are we living like we thought we would be?  Is our reality what we expected it to be?  Or does everything seem the same?

Well, nothing is the same.  You haven’t been on that long journey for nothing.  The problem is that you have changed and now need to be inhabiting your new reality and living and Being it.  This is difficult when the old reality hologram still seems to be so real.  Many have been feeling ungrounded, displaced, dizzy and lacking in focus as they try to find their footing.  We are still in that settling-in space, which I hope will ease for us as we get into Spring next month.  The key to anchoring into the new reality is Love, and Love is the only key you need for this year.

Numerologically it is a ‘6’ year. (2+0+1+3 = 6).  Six is the Love vibration number and is what we all need to focus on this year.  Love really is the key to getting us through.  In the first few days of the year, there was a tremendous wave of love that seemed to sweep the globe and everyone was absorbing it, transmitting it and feeling fabulous and so in tune with each other.  I thought yes, this is what the new reality is all about; this is what it feels like! 

Six is also the number for harmony, commitment, relationships, marriage and family.  If you want to travel, you may find the following countries calling you during this ‘6’ year: Mexico, Thailand, Russia, New Zealand, Japan, Norway, Canada, and Iran.  (And isn’t it interesting how many of these countries need a lot of healing and light at the moment as many of them are experiencing incredible turmoil).

Those working with the Love vibration of this Six year will be developing not just their ability to be loving, but also a sense of what is just, they are willing to step up and take responsibility for whatever group/s they are involved in, they will be even more generous than before and will happily share their idealism.

Those rejecting Love and choosing to work with the shadow aspect of this year will be displaying these types of traits; they will be uncaring, unjust, resent responsibility, be mean and obsessive.  Just ensure you don’t get caught up in any of their dramas or drawn into any of their co-dependent games.

Unfortunately that fabulous love wave receded and some hard realities set in with shock experiences for many of us.  We have been given a taste of what it feels like to live in Love as our 24-7 reality.  I want that back!  What came in next was like a whack across the back of the head.  Our task now is to get back into that wave of love whilst dealing with the curveballs we are being tested with this year.

 “Watch your back” - I have been hearing that over and over since the start of the year.  This is a year when you will need to watch your back.  Many of you will have already felt how unstable and downright weird the energies have been a lot of the time, so far this year. No wonder we need to ensure that we are centred and grounded, and are monitoring protection for ourselves, our energy fields, our loved ones, our homes etc. 

Illness brought many of us to our knees.  I have never known so many Lightworkers and strong women brought down by illness as in the past couple of months.  I have never known some of my business colleagues to get ill; they are usually incredibly strong and energetic women.  In this time of increased feminine power we are starting the year with some deep cleansing.  In order to take our place and set up shop in the new reality we need to be in good health, we need to have a clear idea of how we want to live and work and Be, and for many folks they haven’t got a clue.  They just know that what they have been doing no longer feels right, that a change is needed.  Illness gives us the rest time, think time and reassessment time that we need.

Are you thinking for yourself? Or are you still seeking validation from other people and sources outside of yourself?  Stop being so weak, own your power and trust the Divine Intelligence that is within you.  It is time for you to speak your truth (not repeat what others say), it is time for you to live your truth – anything that prevents you from doing this must go now and that includes people, groups etc as well as your own limiting thoughts and negative beliefs.  We have come through the darkest time and the whole point of that was to make us independent and to drop all forms of co-dependency (be that substances such as sugar, alcohol, drugs, addictions, as well as relationships).

How can you possibly benefit from all the wonderful energy this year and access the wonderful things and experiences that are waiting to come in for you, if you are still doing the same old same old?
Stop thinking about it – do it – stop talking about it – do it!

The Feminine becomes more greatly empowered this year as more women are now owning their power and using it to make a difference in our world.  However be prepared to be attacked for it too, the more authentic and genuine you are in your power the more you will alarm those who are not authentic or aware of the importance of feminine energy at this time on our planet, and they may try to trick you verbally or emotionally.  Don’t let them affect you in any way, realise that you are doing the right thing and let nothing and no-one stop you.  Many men are embracing their feminine energy within and in a more masculine and balanced way now (for a while some of them went too far the other way and were too empathically female which knocked their balance), and they have a realization of the changes that now need to occur in their lives also.

(I wrote the above paragraph in December, and little did I know then how prophetic it would be, no sooner did we turn into the New Year than small, some subtle and some less subtle attacks against the Feminine started, culminating in a quite a big one in February).

YEAR of the SNAKE

We are now in the Year of the Yin Water Snake.

Key watchwords for this Snake year: “Pay attention to detail.”

The yin water element of the year is associated with intelligence, innovation, intuition, inventiveness, inner tension, secretive and hidden plans, the kidneys, bladder, reproductive organs and hearing. (You may be prone to weakness in these areas this year, so stay healthy).

The yin fire element of the Snake year connects with illumination, entertainment, cunning, fire, electricity, reactive energy, the heart, vision and fever.

The sensual Snake will activate lessons in deepening our connection with Source/Creator, if we work with the energy of this year we can deepen our spiritual wisdom and cosmic connection.

As it is in the element of Water it means that lessons and healings will happen on a deep, emotional level.  Wherever you have been stagnating emotionally, be prepared for things to be shaken up, you cannot stagnate any longer, change is necessary.  Whatever you have stuffed away and hidden (or forgotten about) will rise from the depths to be faced this year.

The Yin energy warns us not to do anything with excess or overwork ourselves (you could end up with depression), instead it encourages us to use this year to restore ourselves on every level and achieve a more permanent feeling of inner balance. This is a year of moderation, of “gradual and gathered strength”.  Not a year for pushing anything or taking risks – especially financial.  Stability and balance in all that you do in every area of your life is essential this year.  This is not the year for playing with fire, because you will get burned for sure.  This also includes our health, no taking any kind of risks with your health this year, look after yourself, you must put your health first this year before anything and anyone else.  You may also need to “hold your tongue” more this year and be diplomatic (balance in speech and kindness in speech and only speak the truth). 

As one of my favourite Feng Shui masters (the wonderful Kathryn Weber of www.RedLotusLetter.com) said “Make sure you’re the person who is ahead on payments, flosses your teeth (not just says you do to your dentist, blushing), and wears your seatbelt… at all times.”

It is a perfect year to develop good meditation practice.  It is also a gently sociable year, a year of gentle connections and collaborations.

The Snake represents wisdom, intelligence and self-control.  We will be tested on these aspects of ourselves this year.

Other Aspects

Like Snake, we have been shedding an old skin, and now need to take care of the vulnerable new one until it has adapted to its environment.  Aura and chakra protection is essential.  (Think of yourself as a newborn and how you would look after a newborn).

The Year of the Snake brings many twists and turns, and it is a year to expect the unexpected.

My husband recently prepared for a long wanted interview.  His interview day is a perfect example of Snake year energy.  The day before he planned what to wear, went through his paperwork and ran through possible questions, gave himself plenty of time to get ready in the morning, checked he had everything he needed and went off excitedly.  When he walked into the office, he found out that one of his friends/colleagues had died.  My hubby had been fond of him and had a lot of respect for him, as he was a great man.  What upset my hubby even more was that the interview was being held in the dead man’s office. 

This is typical Snake energy, you think everything is going well and then suddenly something out of the blue smacks you in the face.  It’s a test.  For him it was to see whether this would completely drag him down and knock him off centre for his much longed for interview.  As I helped him in his grief during a ‘phone call before the interview, I saw his colleague high up on the wall behind the panel of interviewers smiling at Pete, I said he is going to be your Guardian Angel today, that’s why it is happening in his room, he is helping you, so go do him proud!  (My hubby didn’t get the job, but he passed a lot of tests that day inwardly and outwardly and I was so proud of him).

Watch out for those with forked tongues, they may come disguised in outer clothing of grace and elegance however, they may not be trusted.  There will be those who Talk the Talk convincingly, take care not to get sucked in by them, they may not be who you think they are.  Our industry (mind/body/spirit/complementary/alternative) is the worst for this, and this could be a year of tricksters.  Snakes can strike at will, wilfully and powerfully, so don’t be taken in by a snake in the grass who seems super laid back, it could snap its fangs at you before you even realise it.

Traditionally Snake years can be wonderful but can also be difficult with shock events (the mowing down of the student of Tiananmen Square and other major incidents such as 911 all happened during Snake years).  If you are presented with big challenges then you know that within those challenges are big opportunities. 

There can be opportunities for abundance this year and new opportunities and experiences; there can also be setbacks and delays.  This year should be a lot smoother than last year, but there can be some bumpy bits along the way.  

 STOP HIDING!

The more effort you put in this year, the greater the rewards this year and in years ahead.  This is not the year to be lazy (and God/dess help you if you are), nor to be a fence sitter, pessimist or to be faint hearted.  “It is time to find your inner courage, or the need for it will confront you.”

It’s a good year for “men, the career-minded, entrepreneurs, writers and students”, business growth, and rebirth of businesses. Progress and success will be steady and sure like the tortoise this year not the hare.

When the tests happen, once you are over the shock, try and get back into your Heart centre and out of your head and solar plexus.  Take time out to meditate, calm down internally first and then you will know what to do.  Do not go running to everyone else first, you will end up like a headless chicken.  Sort yourself out first, calm yourself down and then seek further advice if you need it.  Sometimes sleeping on it can help greatly, as you may receive further guidance during dreamtime.

The colour green (think trees, Springtime) is very beneficial and helpful, and will bring you balance during this Snake year.  Use one or two accessories in the home, like a couple of cushions, a vase, etc.  And for you personally, accessorise with a scarf, jumper, jacket, handbag or shoes, jewellery etc.

By being prepared you will be able to deal with this year, so enjoy it!  It can be an empowering, abundant year full of new beginnings and opportunities.  “The Chinese understand that their family will never go hungry in the Year of the Snake” as long as planning, caution, reflection and balance are taken into account.

Other Info

Every year Spirit gives me a catchphrase that accompanies the year that we are in, this year I have been given two: -

2013 – Be the dream

and

2013 – work as a Team

Use Love as your key to enable you to truly live the dream you have been creating for yourself.  Whilst we will continue to work on ourselves and strengthen ourselves on every level, this is the year to work with others towards a common goal.  Seek out others who can support you and your dreams; find a suitable coach/guide who can help you anchor and live your dream, find new friends and/or groups who will respect and honour your dreams and support you all the way.  Who can you collaborate with?  What collaborations can be created to serve the world in a bigger way?

And bring love into the mundane and routine in your life.  Give thanks for the safe clean water to wash your plates in and do it with love.  Give thanks for the ability to do chores and do them with love.  Stop and think before you say and do anything – “am I doing this with love?” Give yourself a few minutes and take a few deep breaths to put you back into your Heart centre.  Access the love energy there (or tap into the Universal Love that is always around you and draw that down into yourself) and then proceed. 

Give up trying to control your life, we have gone way beyond that, it is just too unpredictable.  Surrender to the Will of the Divine with love, in a way that you never have before.  When you allow Love to be your Guide, life flows more easily and you experience more joy.

Each day send up the prayer – “how may I serve today?”

WHY JANUARY IS THE WORST MONTH FOR DIETS & DETOXING and why it can be DANGEROUS (and why resolutions are a waste of time)

After the Christmas excesses we are bombarded with pressure from media about diets and detoxing. 

Firstly, it is insulting; it is suggesting that there is something wrong with you, when you are perfectly wonderful just as you are.  It doesn’t take much intelligence to recognise when you have overdone it on the naughty foods and drinks and to know how to cut back.

Secondly, for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere it can be dangerous at this time of year to suddenly start dieting and detoxing.  This is the time of year when we tend to get the snow and very cold weather.  Our immune systems may already be lowered because of Festive excess and we may be tired from travelling and entertaining, and then we have to go back to working full time!  If you suddenly reduce calories and nutrition you are leaving yourself susceptible to every virus that may be going around.  (For a significant change in diet you need warm weather with lots of supportive sunshine – not icy winds, snow etc).  Drastically dieting or detoxing in cold weather can compromise your immune system considerably.

The Spring/Summer is the best time to consider a diet or detox, when the winds are warmer and there is more sunlight.

Also, your body already knows how to detox naturally and perfectly.  No outside special diet or detox product is going to improve the body’s own innate ability.  So stop listening to the sales hype and start listening to your own body. 

Our body knows how to sweat when it needs to; the skin is the largest organ in our body and our biggest way of detoxifying.  Therefore we should allow ourselves to sweat if we are hot and especially if we have a slight fever (it is the body’s way of ‘burning out’ the infection, taking cold remedies will only drive the infection in deeper and will take longer to shift it). 

Antiperspirants, in my opinion, are extremely dangerous for natural health.  They block the pores in the armpits (the lymphatic system which is linked to breast health) to prevent the body from doing what it needs to do naturally.  I stopped using them years ago and I can tell how healthy I am by my perspiration, if I seem a bit smelly under my pits then my body has become toxic due to what I have been eating or drinking (or failing to eat and drink, like enough water).  I can change that within a day.  I sometimes use a natural deodorant if I am doing to an exercise class or going out for an evening’s dancing and know I will be sweating, but I never use an antiperspirant.  Oh and by the way, you know the stains you sometimes get on your clothing around the underarm area?  That’s not caused by your perspiration; it is caused by the chemicals in the antiperspirant combined with your natural sweat.  When you stop using chemical laden products in that area, you will not have any underarm stains on your clothing again.

Also our body knows when it needs to poo to get rid of what it no longer needs.  Are you pooing 2-3 times a day?  When food goes in one end then something will also need to come out the other end!  If you are pooing less than once a day, then you are constipated and need to be more aware of what you are eating and drinking to ensure that your body’s natural processes and functions are working at optimal level.

There are natural ways to support and help the body at this time of year and most of it is commonsense.  If you have overdone it over the Festive period, these simple guidelines can help you to get back into a more healthy routine.

When you have overindulged on sweet stuff, alcohol, rich food etc your body’s Ph goes out of whack and you become overly acidic.  You need to eat and drink the right things that will help reduce the acidity in your body (which we know can lead to diseases) and balance the Ph with alkaline foods and drinks.

I am often complimented on my skin (and it’s not bad for a woman in her mid 50s) and my secret which I have been doing since I was in my 20’s is that the first drink I have in the morning is my Lemon Drink as I call it.  Lemons unlike other citrus fruits are alkaline not acidic. 

Lemons are packed with Vitamin C; they are like captured sunshine that we can use all year round.  (Please ensure that you only use organic fresh lemons, they are so much sweeter than the GMO versions and never use the artificial stuff in the plastic lemon, which is full of chemicals, as it will not provide any nutritional benefit at all).

Lemons are the only citrus fruit that are alkaline and they have a negative molecular charge making them anionic just like the healthy digestive enzymes in our bodies, this combination makes the humble Lemon the perfect detoxification product.  Lemons help to produce the bile necessary to digest food properly and absorb nutrients from our food.  Lemons rebuild the liver (and let’s face it after the Festive season it needs all the help it can get!).

So my secret formula for great skin, great digestion and elimination and to maintain a healthy Ph in the body is the following:

First thing when you get up in the morning

Boil the kettle and allow to cool.

Put a thick slice of organic lemon into a mug and a squeeze of its lemon juice.

Add the cooled boiled water that will still be lovely and warm to drink.

Drink and enjoy.

Wait at least an hour before eating or drinking anything else (this gives it time to work and to start cleansing your system).

My busy life means that I do not always manage to do this seven days a week but I can guarantee that at least five days a week I do manage to do this.  In fact, I miss it if I don’t, as my digestion/elimination just doesn’t work as well.  And as I mentioned, one of the great benefits of doing this is fabulous skin!  (And a heck of a lot cheaper than some of the face creams out there).

If you are feeling a bit toxic, continue to drink warm water during the day and you will feel much better by the following day.  And yes, it will make you pee more than usual, but then that is the whole point.

Add garlic, ginger and Turmeric to some of your meals over the next few days.

Garlic cleans the blood and is a natural detoxer and purifier.

Ginger warms the digestive system helping it to work better, is antimicrobial (keeps bugs away and helps eliminate parasites in the digestive tract) and is anti-inflammatory (which helps bring your body’s Ph back into balance)

Turmeric contains Curcumin, which is anti-inflammatory and a fantastic support for the body

Eat more greens, they cleanse the gut, keep you regular, give you iron, calcium and other essential minerals (a lot of greens especially cruciform are better lightly steamed than eaten raw).

Get moving

A daily walk to get some light and much needed Vitamin D at this time of year. 

Wrap up and get outside for at least 20 minutes a day.  You need the light at this time of year (especially your pineal gland); it doesn’t have to be bright sunshine either.  The shorter Winter days mean that we are not getting enough exposure to light and this can lead to depression, SAD syndrome etc.  Simply getting out for a short walk each day will greatly help.

It also helps to get your sluggish lymphatic system going which helps the body to naturally work more efficiently including detoxing what it doesn’t need.

It also shifts your energy so that you feel more energetic and positive in yourself.

Herbal Support

If you suffer from liver problems such as Gilbert’s Syndrome then you may benefit from using a Milk Thistle combo to help support the liver as you get back into healthy eating and exercising again.  (I recommend Vogel’s, which you can get in most healthfood stores, and pharmacies like Boots, also some supermarkets now stock it). 

Sleep 

Your body naturally detoxifies as you sleep, therefore good sleep is essential for good health, natural detoxification and elimination and good energy the next day.  If you are not getting enough sleep (or enough good quality sleep) then your body is not able to do what it needs to properly during the night.  And this can also cause weight gain because the cells are not able to go through their full processes at night. (I specialise in helping people to get good quality sleep, so if you need any help with this please contact me).
 

Water

Drink plenty of warm water, it is really is the best and most effective detoxifier.

Do not drink chilled water; in Traditional Chinese Medicine they never drink anything colder than the internal organs of the body because it has a detrimental effect.  And I must say, I totally agree with this, when buying bottled water when I am out I always ask for one that has not been put in the fridge.

So save your money on expensive products for detox and diets and follow the above guidelines for being naturally healthy at this time of year.

A note about diets

If you have gained a few pounds then the only way to shift them is through exercise.  Exercise speeds up your metabolism helping it to burn fat.  Drastically cutting calories fails every time.  This is because mentally, you automatically feel that you are being deprived of what you want and you will end up eating something naughty or binging.  Also what you focus on you get more of, therefore if you are permanently focused on food and worrying about calories etc you will become obsessed with it and it becomes counterproductive.  Stop worrying about food and start enjoying it.  Buy fresh, organic produce and eat real food (don’t waste your money on low fat products, they are full of chemicals and are not real food, so you will never feel fully satisfied).  Eat real foods and drinks that have real – not artificial – ingredients in them.  Exercise is your key to weight loss anything else is a waste of time and money.

Another aspect to weight gain can be something out of balance physically, i.e. your hormones.  If you suddenly gain weight that you cannot shift, do see your doctor and get some tests done to rule out anything medical.

Also emotional upsets can cause us to hold onto weight.  Once we resolve the emotional issue then the weight tends to drop off naturally and without us even having to try.  (I specialise in helping women with this and have seen them lose inches in the process!)

Invite vitality and wellbeing into your life this year.  Make friends with your body; put it first before anything else that you do.  Honour your body and wellbeing daily.  I promise you that you will achieve more, enjoy more and be more successful in 2013 if you do.

P.S. Yes I do believe that New Year’s Resolutions are a complete waste of time.

Everyone excitedly writes out their list and within a few weeks have fallen off the wagon or lost interest.  I have yet to meet someone who 12 months later achieved every Resolution on their list.

Why put yourself under that kind of pressure?  Each day that our eyes open is a bonus; we have been given another day to live our lives the way that we want to.

Sure, if you feel you need to become a little more disciplined in an area of your life, then enjoy working towards that but do not feel pressured by it. 

Think of the outcome you want and then work your way towards that (and if you need any 1-2-1 support, then please feel free to contact me).

I have not made a single resolution for 2013, there are some changes that I want to make in my life, to my daily practices and ways of working and some will require discipline (which is always a little challenging for me lol!).  I will enjoy it, as it will stretch me in new ways.  Resolutions require commitment, if you don’t think you can commit fully then don’t bother, but if you do fancy a personal challenge it might be fun trying right?

SOLSTICE GREETINGS!

Bright Solstice Blessings to you all!

 

 Art by Mickie Mueller

The Solstice is also our own personal Soulstice, and as you know, today is a particularly special one.

It is the end of one calendar and the start of another.  And it is not just the Mayans who foretold about the big shift happening on this day, other cultures have also always been aware of it (Hopi, Satya Yuga, Age of Truth, Iroquois know it as A Thousand Years of Peace, New Agers call it the Age of Aquarius).

Astrologically, the Earth and the Sun align with the Galactic Centre (this is awesome as this has not happened for 26,000 years and there is a lot of magnetic, pulling energy) and we have tremendous astrological support.  Venus, the Goddess of Love, holds our hand, reminding us that Love is our guide.  The Yod – the Finger of God/Fate - gives us higher vision (many will be receiving great insights about their life and soul purpose during dreamtime both waking and sleeping).  We also have tremendous support from the Universe, the Guides, Guardians, Angels and all that we think of as Heaven.  They want us to survive, they want this planet to survive.  This shift isn’t just about us, humanity or the survival of this planet, it is also about them, all those other Beings out there in the Universe.  We are connected, what happens here affects them.  What happens to you or I, affects them.  Remember that we are all connected and it starts inside each one of us.  We are all in this together and we will step through this together and walk onwards together.

If you have woken up feeling grumpy on this special day, don’t worry.  This has happened to several people who have contacted me already.  They were expecting to feel full of peace and bliss ready to download the energies and instead feel like raging.  It’s the energies shifting you.  Please allow yourself to feel everything that you are feeling, do not block, push away or stuff it down, let it all express itself, even the feelings you don’t want to be feeling.  They will pass much quicker if you do this.  It is a final clearing as we inch towards this momentous time together.  (The grumpiness is also exhaustion for many folks who haven’t been sleeping well in the build up to today).

We will all experience more changes in all aspects of our lives and we will see this reflected globally, as we have already seen these past few years.  If you remember to access the wisdom of the Divine with Love as your guide, then all will be well.  There will still be the occasional emotional rollercoaster ride and possible conflicts as you start to live more and more in truth and love (the others around you may not understand why you are behaving the way you are or why you have suddenly changed your mind).  And be patient, those already well immersed in the new vibration will be keen to get started and just get on with it.  Timing as ever is so important.

The Solstice always asks us to look back at the year now departing and to honour all that we achieved and created during it.  To see how much we have changed over that year.  The sadness of all that we have had to leave behind and the joys we experienced.  Yet the New Year now beckons us to look forward with excitement, it invites us to use the remaining Winter moons to focus on the creations we wish to birth in the Spring Moons of the New Year.

Dreamtime has become very vivid again, make a note of your dreams throughout this time as there are many messages in them for you.

There has been a lot of painful family stuff going on at the moment, not just for me personally, but also for many of my friends, colleagues and clients around the world.  People are being cleared from our path as we see more clearly now that they are not living in truth and are no longer a vibrational match for us.  If they cannot love us the way we need to be loved, honour the way we live our lives or support us the way we need to be supported, then we must leave them to progress at their own rate, it is not up to us to drag them along with us.  Allow yourself to go through the grief process that will follow this kind of letting go.

We can only focus on ourselves right now and especially today.  Do find some quiet time for yourself today to attune to the energies.  Remind yourself that you are a bridge between Heaven and Earth (our ‘Walking Tree’ spray mist helps you with that, it helps to you to be a bridge between the cosmic and earthly).  So ensure that you are properly grounded today – which may not be easy as the energies are very powerful and swirly which can make you feel ungrounded.  The stronger your groundedness the more you will be able to reach up into the cosmos and connect with the energies.

Beware the trap of being distracted by physical symptoms, this moves you away from your Soul purpose and keeps you trapped in ego.  As the wonderful Abraham-Hicks says; “There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness, or sickness or wellness. There is only a Stream of Well-being. The question that you're wanting to ask yourself is, "In this moment, am I letting it in or not? Am I allowing it or am I not?“

Beware also of being sucked into the fear of the masses, you could find yourself starting to think negatively (this can creep up slowly over a few days) without even realising it.  As soon as you become aware of this, stop that thought and replace it with a singing affirmation instead i.e. if you have been fretting about health concerns, go around the house singing “I radiate vibrant health and I am healthy, wealthy and wise”, if you are worried about money “I’m in the money, I’ve got a lot of what it takes to make things work”. The sillier the ditty the more it will make you smile and will change your vibration in seconds.

These are all traps to distract from your purpose this Soulstice.  You must stay on track so that you can be open to receiving all that is now available as we step through the doorway of the unknown together.

Beware of other people trying to sabotage your relationships, not just your intimate relationships but also family relationships, business relationships and other friendships.  The dark time of the year has brought up the dark sides of those who live in fear.  They manifest this as jealousy and project it at you by trying to take away what you’ve got because they are jealous of it.  They are feeling very insecure and you need to stand well back from them as they continue to toss unexpected emotional hand grenades.  They are choosing to focus on the dark rather than the vast amount of light now available to us all.  Remember, just focus on yourself and focus on light.  Even though their actions may be hurtful, just focus on keeping your own vibration raised and keep your chin up towards the light!

This is not the time to make major decisions and it is essential to remain flexible, things can change in a heartbeat at the moment, you could decide on A and then something throws that plan up in the air and another, C, is presented (missing out B altogether).  Be aware that arrangements could change too especially if you are travelling. The energies are too unstable at the moment for us to take anything as gospel.  Accept it but don’t buy into it, prepare for it but be prepared for unexpected changes.  All will start to settle in the first half of next year.

The astrology now confirms what I have said for some time in previous Blogs/newsletters that the next few years (up to and including 2015) will have their ups and downs as things settle, however things will also start flowing much better again, as the massive long-term pressure that built up to this date finally eases. 

We are reminded that we are now in the Era of True Partnership and the way forward is the way of balance.  It is essential for men and women, male and feminine energies to work together in a balanced way now.  The patriarchal era has ended and it is now the Era of True Partnership (not the time of the Feminine as many have been saying, the matriarchal era occurred before the patriarchal era and we all know all about that, so get over it feminists and get with the programme!)  We will return to the traditional ways of honouring both male and female energy.  More Women leaders will emerge as men use their holding energy to support them.  Women will in turn work with men to help them find creative rather than aggressive solutions to world problems.  It’s a time of harmony and working together – that is the way forward.

Our Ascension journey now ends and yet it has given us all the tools we need for anything that may come up.  Whatever happens we will have some idea of how to deal with it.  (And if you are struggling with anything, then do contact me for a 1-2-1 and I will help you through it).  The key is surrendering to the Will of the Divine, overcoming the ego need to push forward and allowing the Divine to guide you forward with grace and peace.  The way forward is about connecting more deeply to Mother Earth and Her kingdoms, to working more closely with the land – our own little patches of land as well as in our communities and globally.

So enjoy this Solstice day, find time to rest and reflect and go inwards.  Find time to give thanks for the year now ending and for all that you received and experienced in it.  Ask for guidance for the way forward as you wait on the threshold of the New Year.  I promise you that the leaps you will make in the coming year will astound you and happen in ways that you would never have imagined.  So be excited.  Be grateful.  Be peaceful.

 My heartfelt Soulstice Blessings to you and yours

Portal to the Future

Regenerating theme - Patience required

Today is the 12-12-2012 with a New Moon in Sagittarius which is also the last Super Moon of the year (and what a series of Super Moons it has been these past few months!)

The numerology for today is powerful (I expanded on this in my previous Blog post), the vibrational energy of which helps us to develop Oneness and greatly increase our own individuality as well as helping us with Partnerships enabled by the energy of the Greater Love.

Today is the doorway that has opened for 21-12-2012, are you ready to step through it?

The energies invite us to think BIG!  Be a Visionary.  Saturn will help you to manifest your dreams and we have expansive Jupiter helping us to dare to live large now.  Today’s New Moon brings an abundance of fertile energy for our dreams, desires, visions and goals.

However, patience and balance are required.  You need to look at where you have been holding back and why.  Or are you projecting too much into the future and not paying attention to the present? Sometimes playing the long game brings the longer lasting results, and also being willing to take that big leap when the opportunity arises.  We are not meant to hide who we are or our talents, we are now meant to take them to the big arena and share them worldwide. 

We are in the Winter moons, which means that this is the time for planning and refining before planting our exciting new seeds next Spring.  Timing is crucial for success.  Let everyone know what you are planning, so that you can share your excitement now and build the energy for what you are creating with your big dreams and visions.

 

As we built up to this date it has been surprising how many ‘worms’ have crawled out from underneath their stones.  Those who are still living in lack and fear have suddenly been throwing energy hand grenades into our lives, which have really whacked our Solar Plexus and Heart chakras.  Once you have stopped reeling from what has happened, cleanse yourself and your aura (our ‘Cleanser’ spray mist is perfect for that http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/Products---SPRAY-MISTS.html) and then take some essences in water to help anchor the shock and steady you up again.  If what has happened has triggered anger in you, go out and post some Christmas cards, the walk in the fresh air will help to ground that energy through your body and feet into the Earth which can take it.

Others are seeing people they have known for a long time in a new light, and may not like what they see.  The veils of illusion have been removed now and we are seeing more clearly who is living in truth and who is not.

Many have felt the urge to clear clutter from themselves and their homes.  Many of us have done gentle detox in preparation for today, and as the sense of urgency increases as we head towards Solstice and that date, many need more calmness and clearness in their environment.  Sometimes we have to completely clear the decks and start again, and it feels good, it is like wiping the slate clean and starting anew.  And yes, it will require some elbow grease and a great deal of patience, but all this prep means that you are creating a solid foundation for success next year and beyond.  It feels good getting physical and is wonderfully grounding.

Don’t forget that you are Spiritual Royalty.  So how’s your Crown looking these days?  When was the last time you cleaned it and/or polished it?  You do know that your lovely jewelled Crown cannot remain on your head unless you are well grounded and living in the present moment?  No more being stuck in the past or projecting into the future, no more La La Bunny nonsense, get grounded and get on with it and all will be well.  Let go of all those old beliefs and sayings that you trot out parrot fashion, that was someone else not you and not who you are now becoming.  Let go of all those old mind viruses that have kept you enslaved, you know the ones that start with ‘must’ and ‘should’.  They are so out of date they are now last century! Be open to hearing the voice of your Higher Self, your own truth from now on.  It you want things to change, then you have to stop doing the same old things.  Do the same old same old, and you will just get more of the same old same old.  It is time for the new in all aspects of ourselves and our lives now.

And it is the special New Moon today in some countries (UK tomorrow at 08:40am).  As I mentioned in my previous Blog post, today is the day for writing your New Moon Wish List for the year ahead.  And do be careful what you wish for!  I have spoken to several clients this week who are now dealing with the pros and cons of what they dearly wished for.  Thing is you just might get it, so be wise with your words for they hold great power.

Today is a new beginning for each one of us and for our Planet.  The planets encourage us to think larger and more globally (how can your visions and goals benefit others globally?)  Be open to learning from others or even going on a new training course to learn a new skill over the coming months/year.

Shamanically, we are connected to Snake energy today and for the rest of this month.  We are shedding our old skins in order to reveal our beautiful new Selves.  We are transmuting any poisons in our lives, that may be –

Physically

Detoxing, starting a healthier eating plan, getting an exercise plan in place, drinking more water, eating more greens etc.

Emotionally

Leaving people and places that drain or steal our energy, cutting ties with those who do not show us respect and who abuse our love, leaving groups and organizations who do not honour our skills and talents, ending friendships with those who are only self serving and do not support us or our dreams

Environmentally

Making wise choice when buying foods and goods, putting eco friendly equipment, products and systems into place in our homes, honouring the Earth Mother more by not polluting or abusing Her. 

Let go of those who don’t get it (and don’t try to convert them), they are not ready, just focus on yourself now.

Be receptive to the awesome energies that are flooding into us today.  You will need to take it easy today as the energies may make you feel tired.  Drink plenty of water today.  Meditate and find quiet time so that you can be receptive and feeling peaceful for downloading the energy.  Go out for a walk and connect with the messages waiting for you in the Nature kingdom, make it a walking meditation. 

On the other hand, some of you (like me), might be feeling the opposite, totally wired as the energies feel like prickly electricity going through your body.  I woke up yesterday feeling lighter, and more full of joy and excitement than I have done in months and I had the most fabulous day.  I was almost hyper in my energy and it felt good!  However, like a hyper toddler I was a bit tired by the end of the day lol!  But it was a good tired and I slept like a log.  The caution with this type of energy is that it may cause you to overlook things and have minor accidents, if you are not being fully grounded in it (yes it is possible to be hyper and grounded at the same time).  Breathe three times - stop, breathe in deeply and exhale loudly, three times - to ground yourself, and do this several times throughout the day.  If you don’t ground this energy, be prepared for anything electrical including computers and mobile ‘phones to go haywire or stop working.

Be aware that you are shedding a very old skin and do ensure that you have protection in place to protect the new emerging.  Be careful of being too open and vulnerable; ensure that your Solar Plexus and Aura shields are in place (Our ‘Protector’ spray mist can do that in a second for you http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/Products---SPRAY-MISTS.html ).  Be a midwife to your new Self, and be loving, protective and gentle with yourself as you would with any New Born.

Patience is the key to success over the coming weeks.  Don’t rush into anything, take your time to check, review and refine before committing or you may find you end up wasting a lot of time and/or money.

FENG SHUI TIP for extra PROSPERITY during this transit

The East has strong energies for wealth from 8^th – 21^st December.  To activate and enhance these energies, place a vase of fresh flowers in that direction (ensure that they are placed in a clear, glass vase and ensure that the water is always spotlessly clean, so you will need to change it every couple of days).  The colours or types of flowers don’t really matter, however if you do want to fully Feng Shui it; red is an activation colour, purple is a wealth colour and green is the colour of growth.

Finally

Our future is encouraging, it is brand new, it is exciting, it is prosperous, it is peaceful and it is harmonious, as we collaborate with others and with our global family.

Be inspired today and for the rest of the month.  We are born anew.
