Inspiration: In Fear We Trust

After my retreat with Tom Campbell this past January I wrote that I was inspired to write a book and this is the beginning of that book. The working title, In Fear We Trust, came to me because even though we like to deny it our fears are what we put our trust in. When we discuss fears we like to pretend we are discussing phobias and that most of us don’t believe we have major phobias and therefore we don’t believe we have fears. However, as we are a part of this time and place I am going to suggest that we all have fears and these fears rule our lives. Follow me in this. If we didn’t have fears our Soul or Individuated Consciousness would never know to Evolve or Grow Up. Our Core fears like abandonment, unworthiness, unlovableness, failure, loss and the unknown push us to Evolve.

Let’s start with a definition of ‘fear’. Our dictionaries define ‘fear’ something like: “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.” This is accurate – however it doesn’t explain that our fears are what we chose to work through in this life to assist us in growing. It doesn’t explain that our core fears are governing how we live our life. We think we are a victim to circumstances beyond our control when in fact our ‘victimhood’ is merely those deeper fears such as abandonment/BEing alone, unworthiness, unlovableness, failure, loss – including everything mixed up around ‘death’, and the unknown. These fears, these deeper fears, create disharmony within us – pushing us and our emotions to our limits, seemingly – in such a way that we try to distract ourselves to make our lives bearable and maybe to make it seem like we even have everything within our control.

May Newsletter 2019-Past Lives

What a crazy Spring we have been having!? We had snow and freezing rain on April 29th here. However, for the most part Spring is here and likely the short spring will turn into summer before we reach Solstice next month. Unfortunately, that still leaves allergy season regardless – and the only thing I have ascertained is that if I stay away from dairy the season is less disruptive. Oh sure I still get some symptoms but they are better if not aggravated with dairy.

There isn’t a lot going on with Astrology this month and Nancy is still in moving limbo until next month she moves to her new home – we will have an interview this month so stay tuned to catch up on What’s happening in the Universal Sky. Go Here to get more info when Nancy has her Blog Up.

Inspiration: Past Lives

Recently I have been thinking a lot about past lives: why are they fleeting memories; why we chose to forget them; is there anything significant to learn by them; or are they just a distraction? The question is: I wonder if our past lives assist us to Grow Up towards Love or distract us from living this life because they trigger our fears or possibly overwhelm us? Some people believe that once we have evolved our consciousness to a certain point – our past lives will aid our growth towards Love. I’m doing an interview with Tom Campbell at the end of this month about Virtual Realities and Past Lives as an ongoing series of VR from Tom’s perspective. And therefore this brings me to contemplating people, places and situations that we encounter and these in turn trigger feelings encouraged by past lives.

So do our past lives assist us with this life? We are here to grow and the Larger Consciousness System (Tom’s explanation of Source, Akashic Records, or God from a scientific perspective) is here to assist us. Clearly there is a reason we chose to forget our past lives and there is no way to prove whether our glimpses into a past life is really ours or if we are connecting in with the LCS or Akasic Records and downloading information from another life whether ours or someone else’s. From the perspective of Growth it could be argued both ways that either remembering or forgetting our Past Lives could help us grow. However, if we have numerous lives – thousands – would it benefit us to remember? Especially considering the fear we have accumulated from these past lives because the Earth wasn’t as evolved and only recently have we moved to a place where there is enough Love to make a difference on our planet.

Often I see the exploration of Past Lives to be a distraction. We can get so caught up in these glimpses into the past – whether significant or not – that they just distract us from our work here. For example if we connected into a life where we were important and had a name we could now research and discover who we were does this help or does it hinder us by focusing on something that creates more fear rather than love? We all want to believe we have been significant and notable in the past especially if we don’t feel we are making a difference in this life. This is all wrapped around our purpose: we are here to make a difference and to grow up towards Love. If we feel like we have lost our purpose or if we have become stuck then we don’t feel worthy and loveable. Could this be the problem? This feeling of being unworthy and unlovable creates fear instead of helping us grow towards love and we become depressed rather than thriving so we look for ways to feel better and put energy into our past. I think one of the biggest problems is that we put our focus into areas that distract us from feeling uncomfortable. This is where knowing about Past Lives becomes a distraction. Read More…

Apr Newsletter 2019 – Motivation

Wow – March certainly went out like a Lion. I’m hoping that this April will be nicer than last year. It is always this time of the year when we BEcome Motivated to BEgin new projects and clear away the old to make way for new Possibilities. Now that Mercury is direct again (as of later last week) – we should begin to feel excited and inspired to move forward. We’ll be discussing below – What are you inspired to change with the turning of the seasons? More importantly: what is your motivation for changing?

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: April 2019

Inspiration: Motivation

This has been an interesting month – many people are finding 2019 challenging so far. I have been excited and looking forward to spring and as I write this today we are just entering spring equinox. When considering the Canadian seasons winter, although often beautiful, is just too dark and cold most of the time. Once we reach equinox and have almost equal light to darkness (we get a few minutes more light at that time of the year) it is very welcomed – especially if it is sunny. What does any of this have to do with motivation? Well, we become motivated by many different things – for some of us it is shaking off the cold, short days of winter with the higher temperatures and enjoying the sunshine to motivate us to do spring cleaning – and of course stepping outside for more activities and focusing on a healthier lifestyle.

Yet often our motivation is through our fears. We often want a healthier lifestyle because we have had a health scare and we consider what we don’t want … like disease, excess weight, aging symptoms or aches and pains. Unfortunately this fear-based motivation isn’t a motivation that will sustain us through our desired outcome. Fear doesn’t motivate us enough to change; partially because we are always focused on what we don’t want. Whenever we are trying to change something within ourselves we continue to see, feel, hear, taste and smell the problem. For example: when we are experiencing pain we become focused on the pain and it is almost impossible to feel anything other than the physical pain we are hoping to alleviate.

Unfortunately fear-based motivation isn’t a motivation that will sustain us through our desired outcome.

Mar Newsletter 2019: Growing up through Fears

This year so far has been Great! I went away for 2 weeks on a life changing trip with Tom Campbell at a Castle and Paris for my birthday. It doesn’t get much better than that. I wrote about my experience below and completed my interview with Tom as well. However, now I am back to yet another snow storm as I write this newsletter and wish that Wiarton Willie was correct when he predicted an early Spring. They say (our weather experts) that we are in for a big shift to a strong Spring mid March – I’m Hopeful that come our Spring Equinox will bear warmer weather and some Spring flowers. Too much to ask??

I invite you to join me at www.greatestyousummit.com
Series 13 starts January, 21st and runs till March, 29th 2019 I will be participating along with 24 other speakers on varying topics.
My call is on March 25th @ 8pm EST
Power of the Heart

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: March 2019

March is a month filled with some unexpected events and Soul alignment. Mercury will station retrograde on March 5th at 29 degrees of Pisces. This is the degree of completion, completion! Here we are looking at releasing thoughts, and emotions that no longer serve our evolutionary growth. It is very important that you really focus on what it is that you desire to create and attract in your life now. If you find that what you desire in life right now is not coming to fruition, then make sure to let go of your inner victim. Our thoughts combined with feelings speak to how we will see our reality. Work towards completing past issues that may surface. Mercury will station direct on March 28th, and the post shadow is completed on April 17th.

Uranus is moving into the sign of Taurus on March 6th. Uranus visited Taurus in 2018, from May 15th until November 6th. It retrograded back into the sign of Aries to finish up some business. It will be in Taurus until it moves into Gemini in 2025/26. It can awaken new personal values and beliefs, as you break away from ones that no longer serve. There will be new ways of working with “electronic money” (Cryptocurrencies). New legislation may come into effect as it pertains to finances and securities.

Inspiration: Growing Up through Facing Fears

As most of you know I went to an Immersive with Tom Campbell last month and then spent my birthday in Paris. I knew this event would change my life and it has. I didn’t know what to expect – even after interviewing Tom for the past decade and sharing his practical knowledge on how to Grow-up and Surrender our fears – so I was seemingly not prepared for 5 days in a castle under his tutelage. Tom is unsuspecting and truly walks his talk. His unconditional compassion and love allowed us all to feel safe while exploring what he calls the Larger Consciousness System. Those of us without a physics background who see things from a spiritual perspective would probably refer to this as connecting in with the Akashic records or our Sacred Space with our Higher Self for guidance. We spent hours meditating each day and we could do it in the luxury of our rooms – since Donna and Keith (his incredible event coordinators) rented out an entire castle – we didn’t have to worry about having to explain ourselves. We also had exercises instead of chanting the “Om” mantra for an hour each time. We used binaural beats to help us focus on our exercises – that ranged from communication, to past lives and future probabilities, to healing and remote viewing.

The benefits of a large group – of like-Hearted people – collecting together for days and sharing our experiences – change us.

We never fully comprehend the impact of when we immerse ourselves in a group of like-minded and like-hearted people while also using meditation to Grow our Consciousness. The benefits of a large group collecting together for days and sharing our experiences change us. This is especially true for me since I have for several years been on a healing journey in seclusion – needing to feel safe and protected while I worked through some challenging times. I’ve needed to hibernate and my journey has gone through many cycles during this time. I would come out to test the waters only to fall back when my sensitivities would become overwhelmed again. I created a beautiful oasis where I could feel safe while also healing and expanding my business. It was a win-win for me. I also knew that this trip would change that for me. And it has in many ways.

I discovered that while I’m in my element – even in a group – I laugh more (which isn’t such a stretch) but I also engage more with others to invoke laughter – however I often use sarcasm or dry wit to do it. I think with hibernating for so long I forgot what I was like in a group environment. It was something I needed to remember! Being with like-hearted people helps you feel safe to BE yourself.

Jan 2019 Newsletter: Year of Claiming

Another year has gone by WOW! 2018 was the Year of Mastery and to master something you must see all sides of it. 2018 was definitely one of those years. Some ended up coining it the Year of Retrogrades. Personal planet retrogrades impact us the most and thankfully neither Mars nor Venus will retrograde this year, and we will only have 3 Mercury Retrogrades in 2019 instead of 4 that we had in 2018. The post shadow of the latest MRx just ended Dec 24th and is back to moving normally again until Mar 5th. So communication should be back to normal. In fact Uranus is the only planet retrograde beginning 2019 and only until Jan 6th. We won’t have any retrograde planets until Mercury in March. Hallelujah

This year – as I have written in my latest Blog below – has been named the Year of Divine Alignment or as Lori Wilson & Grandmother has declared The Year of Claiming. My hope for you this 2019 is for you to Claim your excellence and Divine Uniqueness within everything you do and to allow your ‘Home’ to shine brightly the Divine Essence that is all that You Are!

🎉Happy New Year 🍾 May this BE your Best Year Yet ✨

I will be at Tom Campbell’s MBT Immersive UK 2019 from Jan 11-17 and then spending my Birthday this year in Paris to come home Jan 26th. I will have access to my computer and you can contact me via email or my phone (texts 416-690-6391) or toll free 855-444-SOUL (7685). Leave a message and I will get back to you.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: January 2019

Nancy will have 2 Blogs for January, for the Month of Jan and for the Year 2019 her Blogs should be up by Dec 29th. Check out her Blogs for more detailed information or her radio show on 2019.

Inspiration: 2019 Year of Claiming

This New Year has been termed Year of Claiming by Lori Wilson and while she channeled her New Year Forecast by Grandmother.

2019 Year of Claiming

While listening to Lori’s interview I wanted to explore some of the relevant points that I felt impacted me. Before being able to ‘claim’ yourself this year you have to have felt ‘claimed’. I think this was instrumental in examining my life. For most of my life I have not felt ‘claimed’ by my family or felt I belonged. I have always searched for my acceptance and inclusion with a deeper spiritual family. Unfortunately this did not always have a happy ending. I know what it is like to feel abandoned, as it has been my ‘story’ for most of my life. However, I have for many years, recognized it as a ‘story’ – I see things from this perspective even when another part of me knows this isn’t truth. My search for a spiritual family often hurt even more than a family I never really felt a connection to – due to my feelings about being adopted – because I felt like my spiritual community should live from the same code of ethics that I lived by. Unfortunately that was almost never the case – as ego impacts us all – especially those given roles – and I would view any perceived betrayal from my perspective of ‘abandonment’. A lose/lose perceived situation.

Lori and Grandmother reminded me that my claiming was never from people – maybe my cats – but like most people I feel a deep connection with nature. I remember as a child that whenever I felt a need to find my connection, wellbeing or happiness and when I felt the most open was finding my way to a specific ‘place’ – a sacred place to me was being in nature: walking through a forest, sitting by Georgian Bay or watching the stars. Today I still feel the need to find comfort in residing so close to the Lake and walking along it daily and by searching the skies. I don’t really live anywhere near a forest anymore although there are some lovely big old trees. I do feel claimed by both the water and the night skies (even under the light pollution of Toronto). We need to be reminded that there is something Bigger than ourselves available to us. Read More…

Dec 2018 Newsletter: Finding Peace

Happy Holidays!

I love this time of year. The ‘Magic of the Season’ is the love, compassion, and generosity that exists – especially at this time of the year. It has the power to open our hearts so completely that we wonder how we have ever loved in the past. The ‘magic’ is remembering the excitement we had as children and the innocence we had at exploring what new adventures were right around the corner. Find your way to let the Magic nurture and foster your Divine Essence. And let that Essence flow out into your life, at this time of the year and every day of your life. Remember the feeling of this Magic of the Holidays and make a promise to yourself to create Moments of Magic this holiday season! And you will be a part of the true spirit of the Holidays!

Happy Holidays From My Heart to Yours!

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: December 2018

Welcome to the final month of 2018 to complete the integration of this years vibration of Self-Mastery through relating. Lessons around Self-Mastery are not easy because it has you accessing the strength and courage that exists within the self.

We are currently being supported through the sign of Sagittarius which allows us to gain the experience necessary in fully understanding the wisdom that in inherent within us.

We start December with Mercury Retrograde which started on November 16^th in Sagittarius. On December 1^st Mercury will retrograde back into Scorpio, allowing us to purge those ingrained thoughts that no longer serve. It will station direct on December 6^th supporting us in gathering our consciousness and then tap into our higher mind once it moves into Sagittarius again on December 12.

Whenever the Sun transits Sagittarius we are constantly tapping into the big picture. The Moon will align with the Sun on December 7^th so that we can fully embrace the planting of new seeds through visualization. This New Moon awakens us to understanding our levels of dependence. Quite often when we are in a situation that is difficult to understand, we send out psychic impulses of dependency. How have you vibrated this dependency outward? Read More…

Inspiration: Finding Peace

As I sit writing this we are coming up to the Beginning of the Holiday Season – it was right before the American Thanksgiving which leads to our Christmas Season. Every culture has Holidays during the end of the Year where we can feel Blessed and Grateful. The Spirit of Giving to others is part of the Magic that surrounds us each year at this time. We have movies that make us cry and laugh and fill us with Hope. We visit our families, friends and loved ones – some of these visits are challenging while others are exactly what our Soul needs. When I get into the Holiday Spirit each year I connect with this Magical Essence that reminds me why I work so hard to Grow Up and Find my Peace. Emmanuel Dagher during our last Club Miracles session discussed Good Fortune and how we just need to feel worthy of our Blessings and to be in the Flow of Life to experience Good Fortune. However, what I resonated with the most and of course what has been ‘showing up’ is that during this time one of our challenges with BEing in the Flow (BEing in the Present moment) is our ability to Love and Accept ourselves for who we are; to find Peace in where we are at the moment.

The Spirit of Giving to others is part of the Magic that surrounds us each year at this time.

We all have experiences, challenges, choices and personal stories that we have judged and continue to relive – things that we are unhappy about and especially around this time of the year when we set up our expectations for the Holiday Season such as visiting family or friends – events that can feel more like an ‘obligation’ than an ‘invitation to Share the Magic of the Season’. We have all experienced physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges, hardships, aches and pains, that tend to mold us or define us – as who we are or who we believe we are. We feel shame and guilt around our choices during these experiences – consciously or unconsciously – and how we react towards others as well as the parts of ourselves that experienced these challenges. However mostly we think about what we could have, would have, or should have done differently – we try to DO something that will fix, change, and heal the problem. Read More…

Nov 2018 Newsletter: BEing is a Choice

Happy Thanksgiving

This is my favorite time of the year. The trees are changing into beautiful colors and the temperature is still nice – there is so much to be Thankful and Grateful for. Although we had Thanksgiving in Canada already last month, we still celebrate Thanksgiving with our American friends south of the border. I am very Grateful for all the Blessings that surround me. Thank you all for your Love and Support over these years. I’m eager to discover the new opportunities that abound and my continued service. Thank you for Choosing IntuitiveSoul ♡

I had this breakthrough around ‘time’ this past week. It was too late to put in my Newsletter this month. It was about how although we can’t change our past – it happened – we can change how we responded to it which will assist us to shift our perceptions of the past and our fears. Tom Campbell and I discussed this in our latest interview. Check it out.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: November 2018

We start the month with Venus in retrograde (since October 5th, 2018). On October 31st, she retrograded back into the sign of Libra slightly shifting the energy from releasing values that no longer serve us to focusing on relationships. Do we need to release the relationship, or do we need to focus on repairing it? How are the people in your life serving you? Don’t act on those questions right now, just continue to ponder them. Wait until she stations direct on November 16th to move forward with your decision.

Also, on November 16th, Mercury will station retrograde in Sagittarius. This stimulates our minds higher beliefs. Our mind is being asked to look at our Souls (higher) perspective. One needs to look at the greater purpose of what our soul desires. Trying to think your way through your purpose is difficult now, so just accept what comes to your mind and allow the process to unfold.

The North Node (South Node) also shifts signs on November 6th. The Nodes are points between the Sun and the Moon that give us direction. Since April 2017 the North Node in Leo gave us the opportunity to open our hearts to the vibration of love and through forgiveness. Once it shifts into the sign of Cancer we are focusing on our personal needs. It is a time of allowing our vulnerabilities to show. People will be highly sensitive to this vibration and one must incorporate compassion and empathy into their being. We are nurturing the child within as we respond to others in our lives.

Inspiration: BEing is a Choice

“’Doing’ is a means to an end but ‘Being’ is a choice.” This quote came to me as I was preparing for a meditation this month. I thought it was important because it embodies what I have been teaching for years now. Things happen and we react to what is happening by ‘doing’ something to change it if we don’t like what is happening. Even when our heart is in the right place we are still manipulating what is happening in our lives or the lives of others. We may try to fix, change, heal – but we are ‘doing’ something to manipulate what is happening. Doing is just a way to change our outside world. We may do things from fear or from a place of love – however it is still ‘doing’ something on the outside in hopes to change how we feel about what is happening on the inside. The outside world is dictating to us how to respond to a given situation. And this is backwards!

’Doing’ is a means to an end but ‘Being’ is a choice.

What happens to us isn’t a choice – how we respond to it is. How we choose to ‘show up’ to the world is a choice. How we choose to BE in any given moment is a choice. The outside dictates our reactions only when we are unconscious and stuck in linear time – thinking about the past or future and not in the NOW moment. We can choose to respond to any situation out of Love and Compassion. We can choose to BE happy or be angry when someone does something we don’t like. We can begin our day setting an intention of how we want to feel or BE during the day and make a conscious effort to remain in that energy all day regardless of what happens around us – because we have a choice! We are the only one who can choose how to ‘show up’ in our lives.

Let me explain the bit about being unconscious and stuck in linear time. When something happens – good or bad – we/our brain (ego) automatically reacts to situations from our past experiences and our reactions are mostly unconscious. This is our brain’s way of compartmentalizing various responses and how we create patterns. Our brain believes we have already ‘defined’ our experiences and our emotions and sees each event as similar to another event so our brain automatically responds the same way as it did in the past. This is typically where we get stuck – because we have responded to betrayal or an accident or pretty much anything that has ever happened to us in the same way as we have before. It is why we see the world the way we do. It is part of our ‘story’ and that story continues unconsciously until we begin to see the world for the first time again … as we stand in the present moment BEing fully conscious. Then and only then can we choose how we want to respond in any given situation. And also be aware that there is a choice in how to respond.

What happens to us isn’t a choice – how we respond to it is.

Oct 2018 Newsletter: Understanding Failure and Responsibility

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving & Halloween

I’m not sure where the time is going? I love the Fall even if the colors aren’t quite here yet, however, I have a feeling by my next Newsletter we will be well into the beautiful Fall colors!

When I contemplate our Canadian Thanksgiving just around the corner, I am very Grateful for all the Blessings that surround me. Thank you all for your Love and Support over these years. I’m eager to discover the new opportunities that abound and my continued service. Thank you for Choosing IntuitiveSoul ♡

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Venus Retrograde October 5th to November 16th, 2018

In a year of opening our heart chakra we need to look at all aspects that has us in a place of not loving fully. Venus incorporates our relationship with other people, our relationship that we have with our self, and our relationship that we have with money (which is really about our personal values and beliefs). There are a couple of ways this energy can manifest. When we look at love it is a higher vibrational emotion. Venus can often trigger emotional responses within the self, but not superficial emotions, deep emotions of love, as well as, its opposite. Whenever we are dealing with other people and how we relate, it really has nothing to do with the other person and in fact we are dealing with how we relate to our self. We are working with re-establishing a proper relationship with ourselves and that is simply mirrored out into our relationships with others. Do you respect yourself? You will find the answer to that simply by attracting people who dis-respect you. Do you love who you are, flaws and all? You will notice that in your relationships if others are constantly judging your flaws and pointing that out to you. Anything you notice about your relationship energy that you do not like is simply a mirror of how you may not notice you are relating to yourself. Venus retrograde in Scorpio will show you who and what have outlived their purpose in your life. Typically, when this takes place, relationships will come to an end. If not a complete ending, then they will transform or change on some level, so that a deeper connection or bond can be made. Any relationship that makes it through a Venus retrograde in the sign of Scorpio and Libra, will be made stronger, or become a more authentic reflection how you are relating to yourself.

If we look to our relationship with money under the Taurus (personal values and beliefs) rulership. What deadwood do you need to release? The house of Scorpio is ruled by several factors; death, transformation, rebirth, other people’s money, loans, and taxes. When Venus stations retrograde in its opposite ruling sign, loans may be overdue, and the stress is weighing on you in some way. There is a possibility of finding a solution to your current financial wows, the key to remember is do not make them any worse. Focus on a plan that will ensure your ability to take back your power by not overspending at this time. When spending, ask yourself “Is there any value in your current purchase?” If not, then it is best if you focus on paying back what it is that you owe.

New purchases are not suggested especially if they are a major ticket item. Instead really contemplate the value that you bring to the world, and the lessons you are learning with your current financial situation.

Keep in mind if you are feeling low energy, or lower vibration emotions, than this is all a part of your re-evaluating your worth out in the world. There is an opportunity to find a sense of balance once Venus stations direct in the sign of Libra.

Make sure you take the time to ponder your current feelings around love and value

Inspiration: Failure and Responsiblity

This month’s inspiration came again from Emmanuel Dagher and my beginning work with Peace Mother Geeta Sacred Song. I think about many concepts in my mind as I grow on this journey. Last month I touched on Failure in Feelings vs Emotions. Since then the Fear of Failure has become a theme in my work. This is always a sign about the importance of something entering my life. And I pride myself on being a Leader by Example. When I go through something I know I can assist others. So the Fear of Failure is one of our deep core fears that can be responsible for blocking us from Thriving in this life. Plus: Responsibility is something I have examined many times – as I knew that this term “responsibility” carried a heavy weight. Emmanuel in our last Healing Session from Club Miracles shared that Lack of Prosperity often is because we feel too much “responsibility” in our lives and this ‘heaviness’ is closely related to our Fear of Failure.

Fear of Failure is one of our deep core fears that can be responsible for blocking us from Thriving in this life.

Let’s look at this concept of responsibility. When we feel a responsibility towards something or someone we feel obligated and can feel guilty or shame when we don’t measure up or perceive ourselves as a ‘failure’! I remember working at the Government and feeling the heavy weight of ‘responsibility’ towards colleagues, staff, clients and society as a whole. Then I would examine my anxiety around the responsibilities toward family obligations and even cleaning (as I have allergies with dust so cleaning would create other problems). This concept I had over ‘responsibility’ was way too dense and heavy energetically. I would begin to feel anxious at any hint of responsibility … until I figured it out and then I began to understand that it was my perceptions of responsibility that was to blame and not my work, family and home that was the problem. And I thought I had shifted it; clarified my relationship with responsibility. However, when Emmanuel was sharing our perceptions around financial freedom and that it is our fear of responsibility that is causing the blocks – I remembered my earlier understandings and realized that responsibility still plays a HUGE role in my fear around financial freedom. I look at Income Tax and specifically HST as a block – which is a responsibility that I don’t want. However I also feel responsible to my clients, my listeners and the audience of my website. When something goes wrong I feel responsible for it. Read More…

Sept 2018 Newsletter: Emotions & Core Beliefs

Happy Equinox

I can’t believe that we are heading into fall this month. This summer has been interesting, with 6 planets in Retrograde most of the summer as well as 3 eclipses. It was a summer to relax and chill. Although, our heat waves didn’t inspire “chilling” so much. I hope you EnJOYed your summer!

This month often motivates people to begin new projects or learn something new. I always love the Fall, the colors and freshness that it produces within me. It is my most favorite time of the year. Not sure what new adventures this year will bring, but I feel the change in the air!

Inspiration: Emotions & Core Fears

Like everyone I am always trying to better myself or ‘Grow Up’ as Tom Campbell would say. And one of the things I do is partake in Emmanuel Dagher’s Club Miracles where we have a live healing meditation each month. This past month the healing meditation was on core fears which Emmanuel believes are Fear of being alone, Fear of Failure, Fear of losing something (death), and Fear of the Unknown. He also looked at how our emotions are just our mind/ego’s way of distracting us from our deeper core fears that our unconscious believes are too painful.

So let’s consider this: every time we react out of anger, frustration, pain, sadness, guilt, shame or despair etc. we are actually suppressing a deeper core fear. For example, I, like many women, struggle with sabotaging my health and weight and after reading Jessica Ortner’s best-selling book: The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence (on sale right now) I was able to identify with the deep shame women often feel who are overweight because we all are told how it is our lack of willpower and how we sabotage ourselves to get where we are (she discloses some deep truths in this book that are hard to accept as it reveals such painful truths). I mean we are where we are because we choose to be that way, right? However, taking it a step further: that betrayal I felt and the eating I have done to distract myself from a betrayal I perceive (whether it is personal to me or through reading or streaming movies), is actually suppressing a deeper core fear … or four. After listening to Emmanuel’s meditation the last piece fell together. I have felt like a failure, which blocks me and I feel alone.

every time we react out of anger, frustration, pain, sadness, guilt, shame or despair etc. we are actually suppressing a deeper core fear

I always understood the Fear of being alone: that abandonment aspect has been a core pattern that I have identified for most of my life. However what I didn’t see was that underneath this fear – or attached to this fear – is the Fear of Failure. I could identify with the story that has been a prime focus in my life around abandonment and betrayal (which has run deep and it was through reading Jessica’s book I could identify with how the betrayal originally settled in around food) but I never felt like a failure or that core fear never felt that strong until I read her book and followed up with Emmanuel’s meditation. I love that when we truly search for an answer the Universe will grant it with whatever will resonate with you best to fully integrate your learning. Read More…

June 2018 Newsletter: Living with Filters

Happy Solstice!

Summer is upon us. At least it has been for the past couple of weeks. Have to Love warmer weather and lots of Sun! This month Mars goes retrograde and why not take some time out and just enjoy the summer? Without the natural drive Mars can give us, let’s just have some fun this summer?

Tom Campbell, one of my favorite interviews, is creating history! He is proving we live in a Virtual Reality and the implications are going to change the way we view the world. We did an interview this week where we discussed his KickStarter Campaign to raise money to complete the experiments necessary. We all have enjoyed Tom’s wisdom over the past 9 years I have been interviewing him. Support this momentous research.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month:

Nancy was unable to give us her next newsletter, so check her blog over the next few days to a week to get June’s Universal Sky Blog.

Inspiration: Filters of Fear or Love?

Last month we discussed “expectations and attachments” and how they impact our enjoyment of life through keeping us stuck in how we respond to situations and people. Through this I shared that we all have filters on how we view the world. We often find it difficult to comprehend how a certain filter, such as the feelings of abandonment, insignificance, not being enough, being unlovable or being unappreciated can impact how an event is perceived in our lives. And the reality is that we all have these filters of fear! Our filters impact how we interpret and view the world. Our filters block us from experiencing the Truth and BEing Open to Love where we would have no filters.

How do these filters come to be? We would have chosen to work through certain patterns, beliefs and fears with our Soul Group prior to coming to this life. Whether you believe in having one life or multiple, we are still connected to the larger consciousness system or Source or the Universe or God in a way that our Spirit is connected to a higher power. This allows us to have a support system – our Soul Group – that works with us to grow our consciousness or evolve our spirit. To do this we offer to work with individuals who will assist us to grow and evolve. We choose a certain view on the world as part of this growth process. This view is how we see the world. That is why when things happen we often default towards a certain belief. The default positions are the filters that are prevalent throughout our lives and we may not even be conscious of how these filters impact our lives.

Let’s look at how our filters work. Since it is something I have worked with most of my life I can offer ‘abandonment’ as an example. When your core filter is around abandonment it makes you see abandonment in most areas of your life. When a friend, family or situation happens we often view it through this filter. We see a break-up as abandonment, someone upset or angry as abandonment, someone passing away as abandonment, financial difficulties as abandonment, job challenges as abandonment – do you see how ubiquitous it can become? When we are in a relationship we filter everything that happens as abandonment and this fear changes the relationship. The problem is that our partner will have a whole other filter with which they see the world. And each person believes what they see to be the truth: that their perceptions are what they are seeing in reality. However, they are seeing the world through a filter or even several filters.

May 2018 Newsletter: Expectations and Attachments

Happy 1st Long Weekend of the Summer!

So it may not quite feel like summer yet?? We got our first taste today, with temperatures in the 20’s (70’s Fahrenheit). I have a feeling that we are all uphill beginning today. This May brings a special energy with it. Do you feel it? Fresh and expansive. All the stagnant energies of April with the Mercury Retrograde period are behind us and things seems to have opened up.

This month I look at our expectations that can definitely inhibit our lives by recreating patterns and creating difficulties within our relationships. Tom Campbell and I also looked at this briefly with our latest interview which you can watch or listen to here.

The only BIG shift this month is when Uranus moves into the sign of Taurus (May 15th) which hasn’t been in this sign since 1934. There are some possibilities that may occur during this period, last time a major war broke out since it was there until 1942 – Nancy believes that we may experience or are already in a financial war. What does this mean for us? Remember change happens within US. Focus on our own growth and on what we want – then let the Magic Unfold.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: May 2018

The month starts with the Sun in the sign of Taurus (April 19th) giving everyone the ability to focus on their practical and tangible reality. It places emphasis on our personal values and beliefs as we focus on WHAT we love.

We will be officially out of the Mercury retrograde shadow period on May 4th. So clear thinking and clear communications can be expected. We are asked to ground our thoughts as Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus (May 13th).
The New Moon in Taurus (May 15th), is a time of realization around what it is that you are desiring to create in life. Those creations must be realistic in nature.

A big shift is happening as the planet Uranus moves into the sign of Taurus (May 15th). Uranus surfs through a sign for approximately seven years. It is coming out of the sign of Aries (awakening to the authentic self) and moving into the sign of Taurus. As Uranus moves through the sign of Taurus we can see changes on a global level. There will be new laws or rules governing finances that slip under the radar. We have already noticed the big hype in BitCom. I truly don’t understand that particular financial situation but, one can be assured that new legislation will definitely be put into place governing this type of technology (Uranus) money (Taurus). When Uranus was in the sign of Taurus from 1934 to 1942, there were lots of financial legislation’s that were put into place (for example, in the United States there was the establishment of the Security Exchange Commissions , the creation of Social Security and the establishment of the Works Progress Administration and in 1934 Canadian Parliament passes the Bank of Canada Act). If you keep your eye on the financial markets, there will be all kinds of legislation and new laws governing banks and financial markets. So with new financial markets hitting the internet by storm, I am almost certain there will be legislation’s to govern that market. read more…

Inspiration: Expectations and Attachments

We have all heard that we have Infinite Possibilities available to us as long as we can let go of expectations and are unattached to the outcome. Have you ever created a perfect moment? Have you ever connected to your Bliss where the Universe can’t help but reward you with feeling Love and Joy?

We sometimes connect to the Flow of the Universe and feel Love and Accepted but what about those times when we are really attached to an outcome like when a bill comes that we weren’t expecting and we can’t pay it? What about those times when we have expectations on how a day will unfold because of how days like this have unfolded in the past? Like on Thanksgiving with our family – those who have good experiences with their family expect a fun day – those who expect lots of petty fights and arguments to break out often have our fears reinforced and what’s worse is we feel we are not enough. And lastly, what about those times when we are absolutely confident that we were treated poorly, were a victim or hurt by someone we love because of how we interpreted their actions or words?

Expectations and Attachments create so much harm to us and we often aren’t even aware of it happening. We tend to create expectations and attachments quickly and easily. It is similar to our judgments; we do it so quickly we don’t realize we have done it. And before we know it we are sliding down a slippery slope into stress and dis-ease. Why do expectations and attachments cause stress and dis-ease? Because our ego wants to be in control and when we aren’t in control we start to look for things we can do that will correct this and … down the spiral we go. The problem of course is we can never be in control – we can only BE in charge of how we respond – and that can only occur if we are in the moment and conscious.

Most of our expectations and attachments are unconscious; coming from our past experiences which, because of our expectations and attachments tend to repeat experiences in our present – and sometimes those repeat experiences are not the ones we really want . The only way to change this to allow us more opportunity to experience more of those perfect moments is for us to become more aware of ourselves and of what is happening around us. We have to BEcome more conscious of our everyday lives – our thoughts, our beliefs, our fears – and the reasons why we react to situations or people within our environment the way we do.

The question is what are your fears? What fear continues to push you to create these expectations and attachments? What are you striving to prove to yourself? Is it just the Ego that wants your expectations and attachments met? Read More…

Apr 2018 Newsletter: Feelings vs Emotions

Happy Easter and Spring!

EnJOY your long weekend! Happy Easter…

This past few weeks have shown up in some interesting ways – I have replaced all of my electronics since the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. All replaced out of necessity to shift old energies and because some weren’t working or in the case of my mixing board – it fried.

Remember we are in a Mercury Retrograde that can effect communications and electronics so find a way to BE conscious of your Feelings instead of allowing your emotions to dictate to you how to react to what is appearing to be happening around you. For more about BEing conscious of our feelings read my Inspiration below.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: April 2018

Not much is happening at the beginning of the April, except for the fact that we are smack dab in the middle of a Mercury Retrograde! It stationed retrograde on March 22 at 16 degrees Aries 54 minutes activating a need to focus inwards. Emotional intensity is stimulated by jumbled self-thoughts. Take an honest look at who you are and ponder the process of “self-re-identification”! Mercury will station direct on April 15th at 4 degrees of Aries 46 minutes. Our thoughts create our realty, and right now, how we think about the self is of major importance. This Mercury retrograde and direct is giving you the opportunity to think (and then act) differently, as it pertains to who you think you are.

On April 15th, the Sun and Moon align and will give you some clarity in your direction. It is asking you to honestly look at what you need to initiate now. Keep in mind this New Moon is conjunct Uranus so there may be something unexpected coming your way. Be open to the energy that will allow you to break through or break free of restriction. The New Moon also squares Pluto which can be emotionally intense. The Universe is giving you the opportunity to change now. read more…

Inspiration: Feelings vs Emotions

This month my inspiration came from Emmanuel Dagher’s Club Miracles healing call – where he discussed the difference between Emotions and Feelings. I found it fascinating: he sees our emotions as something we have judged as either good or bad – where our feelings are from a state of BEing and are not identified or judged as either good or bad, they just are. Emmanuel’s definition goes against the traditional definitions of emotions and feelings. Which made me wonder about whether we tend to judge most of our emotions through our past experiences and if there is a way to come from a place of BEing when it comes to our feelings?

When thinking about our feelings and whether we are in a state of BEing instead of unconsciously judging ourselves – it is easy to see how emotions can cloud our judgment. I believe our experiences have been interpreted through our lenses of our beliefs and we create judgments around these experiences and labels that have told us whether something is good or bad. We often unconsciously experience through our emotions and we have decided whether it is a good or bad experience based on the emotion we believed we received from the event. However, this is where we can learn a lot about ourselves. If something gives us Joy does it actually come from a judgment? We may experience Joy – or our interpretation of Joy – when we believe we are superior to someone or something else – but could that be True Joy? Or can we in be in charge and responsible for how we respond in each moment – can we choose to BE happy, or how we want to respond, even if something is appearing to be happening around us like every piece of equipment breaking down – and just BE?

To me these are fascinating questions, maybe not so much for the expression of Joy, as this has been judged as a ‘good’ thing; but what about the more negative emotions? What about when we seem to automatically get road rage or when something that we have judged as going wrong leaves us feeling frustrated, angry, confused or rather – a state of fear? It would appear that we are not in charge of how we respond. We seem to automatically judge situations and then our judgments condition us to experience the situations as we have previously judged them. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could just BE in the moment and not emotionally react to the situations around us – such as when something isn’t working or we aren’t receiving the service we expect? Or are these just my unconscious reactions? If we could let go of all the fears associated with our beliefs – all the negative emotions that we have judged as bad or wrong – wouldn’t that open us up to having new experiences in the Now Moment where we can just feel out what is happening without the judgment?

Mar 2018 Newsletter: Heart-Centered Intentions

Happy Spring Equinox

Spring is always a time of New Beginnings, Emmanuel Dagher’s Energy Forecast for March is about shedding your cocoon. I think we often hibernate during the winter and become more excited once the warm weather begins to impact us. We have had some beautiful weather each month this winter, and after several days of warmer than average weather we are about to have a snow storm. But that is Spring – it is exciting and tumultuous. Just like life – we have exciting new adventures to begin and we have all the old fears or tumultuous events that trigger us still. Our only option is to become Conscious of the Present moment and choose how we want to respond each moment.

My Blog this month is about Heart-Centered Intentions and expands my understanding of how to create our world. It is consciously choosing to see how we respond and assist us to allow Love, Acceptance, Appreciation and Gratitude to empower our moments.

Nancy Arruda is ill and unable to give us her update, so check her blog over the next few days to a week to get March’s Universal Sky Updates or listen to our show that discusses March. We have Jupiter March 8th and Mercury going retrograde (shadow period begins the same day as Jupiter, but actual retrograde is not till 22nd-Apr 15th) this month. So be aware and plan ahead.

Inspiration: Heart-Centered Intentions

I read something this past week that peaked my interest and had me considering once again what we truly want and whether what we want is beneficial for us or if what we want is what we think we ‘should’ be doing. And what if how things worked in the past is no longer how anything works now? For example: what if the teachings of the Law of Attraction could work a lot better if some of the rules were tweaked?

I have been talking for years about how we need to focus on BEing instead of doing and that it isn’t the outcome of our doing that we necessarily consider as our goal but rather our ‘BEingness’ – but this week I came across a teaching that really hit it home as it encouraged me to contemplate what motivates us. When we focus on the outcome we are always searching for the results we intend. We are disappointed when we don’t get the results and this disappointment could completely spiral us out of the direction the Universe has been guiding us toward!

For years I have spoken about focusing on how we want to feel instead of a goal. And many spiritual teachers suggest that it is the journey not the destination. When we focus on how we want to feel – happy, loving, compassionate – we shift our focus to something that we can control or are in charge of: Ourselves and how we want to BE! And as we control the experience of our feelings in the journey we can enJOY the journey and, again, how we feel is something we are in charge of.

The spark this week was to focus on Love and Acceptance of what we are desiring most. This would fit in with our motivation – to take our goal, say ‘vitality’ or ‘health’ and shift the focus to desiring it because we Love Vitality or we are in full Love and Acceptance of a Vital Healthy body. Or in the case of desiring to make more money – it would be because we Love and Accept the work we do completely.

It isn’t lost on me that my ‘goal’ since 2017 is to have Love and Acceptance. My mantra has been: “I choose to step Easily and Graciously into Radiating Unconditional LOVE and ACCEPTANCE while acknowledging the DIVINE within everything.” And I have also included the mantra: “I am making Choices that lead to the Highest VIBRANT HEALTH offering greater Opportunities for Freedom, Energy and Peace.” With this new inspiration appearing this week I believe that my exuberance for creating Love and Acceptance – as a part of my Being – can motivate me to bring Gratitude into my other desires. Gratitude opens our Hearts and shifts our vibration to higher states so that we can enjoy a Heart-Centered Life experience.

When we focus on Love and Acceptance we allow Gratitude into why we are desiring these shifts. We move away from a ‘goal oriented’ ambition towards a Heart-Centered Life Intention. We can take any goal that we want and turn it into a new way of BEing. Using Love and Acceptance we can allow Gratitude to enter into our Life Mission. Take any goal and examine why you want it and how it would benefit your life. Most of our top resolutions tend to be around health, whether it is an addiction like smoking or drinking (or sugar) to eating better or becoming more fit and even bringing balance into our lives. These all can be shifted towards what you would be most grateful for – using more Love and Acceptance. Health, Vitality, Joy, Abundance, Compassion – turn your goals into Heart-Centered Life Intentions. Read More…

Feb 2018 Newsletter: Contemplating Love

Happy Love Month

Did you feel that Super Blue Full Moon Eclipse yesterday? It was powerful and rare, last one was 150 years ago.

Well, February is always Love Month at Intuitive Soul and this year I was more contemplative than usual. I was told all my blogs are contemplative, but this one felt different. Maybe it was the passing of my first birthday without my mother especially since I was writing my blog on my birthday. I also feel like there is an energy of change occurring that may shift a great deal of change in my life and for the World. Obviously birthday’s make everyone consider our future and we just entered a new year with the Chinese New Year on Feb 16th, the Year of the Dog – so I think it is natural to consider where we are and where we want to BE. Let’s create a list and allow the Eclipse energy of the 31st and the Solar Eclipse on Feb 15th, the New Year and Chinese New Year to Create the Magic you are Desiring this Year.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Jan 2018

We finished the month of January with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Leo on January 31st, 2018. We are still feeling the vibration of this eclipse after it transpires. Additionally, We are tapping into feeling the New Moon Solar Eclipse that takes place on February 15th at 4:05 PM in the sign of Aquarius.

Eclipses are all about releasing, letting go and completing. Once we have completed something, we start on a new beginning path. We intensely feel the energy of Eclipses for two weeks before the first eclipse to two weeks after the second eclipse (they always come in pairs and are two weeks apart). However, keep in mind that the lesson will be integrated for a six month period until the start of the next eclipse cycle. (This year the next Eclipse cycle starts in July of 2018) In 2018 we are working with the Leo / Aquarius polarity (in July we will also have an third Eclipse in the sign of Cancer, brig forth the lessons around family in 2019).

The month of February is fairly quiet astrologically. We are still integrating the Jan 31st eclipse into the beginning of the month (releasing what is stopping us from living with an open heart), but we are also being stimulated by the Feb 15th New Moon Solar Eclipse which takes place at 27° of Aquarius 07 minutes. The sign of Aquarius brings in the concept of Universal Love and Joy. Pulling in an unconditional love vibration. How do/can you love yourself unconditionally? When I think of Aquarius, I associate it to friends, associates, hopes, wishes and dreams! With Solar Eclipses, we are still focusing on releasing, however there is a gift that can be attained once the lesson is learned. So its energies are typically about bringing in the newness of a cycle within the self. read more…

Inspiration: Contemplating Love

As I contemplate my birthday today (written on birthday) I wonder about Love Month this year. Each year since I began this blog I have chosen February as Love Month and write something that I hope will inspire you to Love Unconditionally … or choose Love over fear. This has been quite the last couple of years for me with loss and my first birthday without my mother. I know this puts me in a contemplative mood and helps me to wonder about new possibilities. We all aspire to Dream Big on our Birthdays and focus on all the Magic that may transform over the coming year. I know that Love is important to me but it isn’t just the love of another I seek but to also Love Unconditionally and create Acceptance in my Life.

These are my goals this year and I strive to fully embrace this as my State of BEing. It is said, however, that if you are truly ready for a Beloved in your life then the Beloved would show up. So what am I missing if I don’t have that love with another? I feel that Self-Love is the area that I continue to seek clearer understanding. Seeing oneself as a Beloved will attract a Beloved. Tom Campbell says we already ‘Love’ ourselves, but don’t necessarily ‘like’ ourself and he spoke of the problem with narcissism in our latest show. We – or I – focus on areas that I want to fix – my health, my addiction to sugar, my body image. This year I experienced the worst sugar detox flu as I am determined to end my addiction to sugar (as I thought I had many times) and then as soon as that balanced itself out, I managed to put my back out (still not sure how that happened unless it was from a fall 3 days prior?). So my new Fitbit has not completely motivated me as I assumed it would (even though as a piece of technology with promise I love it). And the weather has also been quite temperamental and even the best days we had were NOT the best for my health.

However the point here is that I have been focusing on the areas I want to fix – before I feel ready to embrace myself and another. And this is exactly what I share each month that is NOT the answer. It means I feel I need to fix, heal, change, manipulate or control from a ‘doing’ place and won’t be happy until I have done this. My BEing place knows that I no longer want to BE a sugar addict and I am changing this because it is for my Health and Well-BEing. Nonetheless feeling like I have something wrong with me (an addiction) doesn’t help my self-confidence or help me embrace the Divine Essence within me.

Instead, like many others, I have shame, guilt and embarrassment around my Self and this doesn’t allow me to fully Embrace the Beloved within. I am not seeing the Divine Goddess that I am. Read More…

Jan 2018 Newsletter: Year of Mastery and Love

Happy New Year 2018!

I can’t believe 2017 is now closed and we step forward into another year.

2017 was a 10 year or a new beginning year that brought with it many changes and challenges. Were you able to create some exciting new beginnings? 2018 is an 11 year in numerology which is a master number making it a year of Mastery. It also is brought down to a 2 year (11) 1+1=2 which makes it about Love. 2018 as a 2 year has Love, connection, partnership, relationship, patience, sensitivity in a gradual progress whereas an 11, the double 1’s, create a vibration that embodies Divine Inspiration and making things happen with an intensity. It is a year to gain mastery over your life and understand the subtle framework of the Universe!

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Jan 2018

Nancy Arruda combines numerology, with tarot and astrology and I like that concept. Looking at tarot we bring in Justice, High Priestess, and unconsciously the Judgement card. Listen to our interview about the New Year! Read what Nancy has to say about 2018 and Jan

Inspiration: How will you Master 2018?

I have seen different posts on what this year will be about. Intuitively I feel that this year is about Mastery and Love. I feel it is always important to set your intentions each New Year and forget your resolutions. Intentions are a choice we make that signals the Universe to help us create from a state of BEing, Grace, and clarity. Resolutions are something that we set and often, when we don’t achieve them, create a sense of failure. It is by definition a tradition in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life (Wikipedia).

When we set Resolutions we come from a place of doing. ‘Doing’ results in falling back into old patterns – especially if we haven’t changed any of our beliefs, fears or expectations – because we are trying to control, manipulate, change, fix or heal ourselves from this ‘doing’ state. This state doesn’t recognize our Being and Divine Self. Intentions, to me, are about connecting into how we ‘intend’ to feel and come from a state of BEing not doing. In my show with Tom Campbell, he suggests it isn’t what you DO rather how you do it. It’s who we are while we do it or how we are BEing.

When we write our Resolutions for the year we are attempting to ‘do’ something. And unless we come from our BEing level we aren’t likely going to make any lasting changes. We often review all the things wrong with our outer self and set goals such as weight-loss, health, fitness and addictions and look for ways to control, change or fix ourselves. We look at how we can approach our ‘problems’ differently to make lasting changes. However, we have to ‘own’ our problems, take responsibility for our fears and choices. When we have something we want to change, like our weight because it impacts our health, we have to know our motivation and approach it understanding what the underlying cause is. This is where we need to dig deeper than just using our mental will to change. We have to figure out what the cause of the weight gain was initially, yes, from the beginning. Like in the act of stopping smoking we can use our will to lose weight however if the underlying cause is still present whatever we have tried to stop – or an alternative addictive behavior – will continue. And I am calling this underlying cause ‘fear’. And so we ‘do’ things out of fear rather than ‘Being’ – which is how we express ourselves – so if there is fear while we are BEing we can recognize it and change it to how we would rather BE.

Dec Newsletter 2017: Holiday Magic and Worthiness

Happy Holidays!

Can you believe it is the Holiday Season? Nov has ended with a lot of frustrations, I hope that this isn’t indicative of Mercury Retrograde that starts on Dec 3rd and stations direct on Dec 22nd! Just be prepared for anything this month. And find a way to Celebrate the Magic of the Christmas Spirit of Giving! And giving isn’t about giving Gifts, it is about Opening your Heart and Giving your full attention and Essence to all that you encounter. There is a strong source of Magic available to everyone as long as we are conscious of our “Worthiness” issues and don’t fall into depression and avoid everyone. Tom Campbell and I did a show on this topic this week and fingers crossed we will get a video up as well shortly. (part of the frustrations over the past week) My wish for everyone is to Open your Hearts and share the Holiday Spirit, Having a Magical Holiday Season! ♡♡♡

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Dec 2017

The airwaves are getting a little intense for some people as we prepare for Mercury retrograde. Mercury entered into its pre-shadow on November 15th. It will station retrograde on December 3rd until it stations direct on December 22nd. This is quite a synchronistic event for the year.

I did the numerology for 2017 which is 10/1, and then compared that to the Major Arcana in the Tarot. The #10 Card is The Wheel of Fortune which is ruled by the planet Jupiter. The #1 card is The Magician which is ruled by the planet Mercury. Jupiter’s Ruling sign is Sagittarius and Mercury is ruled by the signs of Gemini and Virgo. As some of you may be aware, Gemini and Sagittarius are opposite each other on the zodiac wheel, so they mirror each other.

Now I have mentioned in prior newsletters, that Jupiter (#10 The Wheel of Fortune) shifted into the sign of Scorpio (death, transformation & rebirth) on October (10th month) 10th (day) in 2017 (10/1 year). Remember Jupiter (growth, expansion, and wealth) is activating intense change (Scorpio) for everyone.

On December 3rd, Mercury is stationing retrograde at the anaretic 29th degree of Sagittarius 18 minutes. When any planet is at 29 degrees of any sign, it pushes us into making decisions that can make or break us. This might push you into blindly jumping into an agonizing decision. There is a vibration of ‘completion’ with this energy. What do you need to complete in regards to your thought process?

Also on December 3rd, we experience the Full Moon in Gemini, placing emphasis on the Mercury retrograde and what you need to finish up! This has one on a quest for independence when that independence is being challenged. One needs to liquidate the past and this Full Moon shows the path to liquidation! Want to read more? Go Here!

Inspiration: Holiday Magic and Worthiness

As the Holidays approach I always feel the essence of Magic all around us. This energy is always present but feels stronger this time of year because of the excitement and anticipation of getting gifts for our loved ones and planning get-togethers with everyone who is important to us. Yet I know that for some people this Holiday time brings anxiety as maybe their finances aren’t available for giving to others and for many people there is a feeling of loneliness during this time. This year Ziad Hashash, one of the co-facilitators of a group that I participate in, talked about Worthiness and that it has been something we have had to prove throughout our lives. This was a very powerful message that I thought I could share in my way to assist you to feel worthy of enJOYing the Magic of this wonderful energy and time of year!

Ziad shares that we must prove we are ‘worthy of approval, acknowledgment, appreciation and even love. We learn this throughout our lives – beginning at a very young age. We are taught that we must possess worthiness in order to have a purpose, make money, and attract a life partner and that our very survival depends on the world agreeing that we are worthy and that our self-worth comes from outside of us’. One can see that being so outwardly focused this would impact our ability to connect with the Magic, the source of Worthiness, within us. ‘He claims this is the root of our problem as it is impossible to prove our worth as it resides within us, at the very core of our Being. And finally he claims that to turn off the ‘worthiness-seeking program’ we must stop acting like our worth is conditional and believing that we need to improve or change ourselves in order to gain worth. Looking outside for approval and worth keeps us trapped in a cycle with no way out.’

How powerful is this message to receive over a Holiday Season filled with Magic? The Magic that is available to us during this special time is because True Love exists in Giving. Too often we focus on what we want, need or desire or have expectations about because when we give we are expecting that we will receive something back in return. This creates expectations and conditions on what we give. Instead of giving from our Hearts to another; we are giving because our ego is desiring something in return. Read More…

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Nov 2017

November is a month filled with twists and turns. Ultimately, while the Sun transits the sign of Scorpio we are focusing on letting go, releasing and clearing our way! Many people have a hard time with letting go and releasing old aspects of being. We live in a society of attachment and attainment, so we may not like letting go of those things that we have collected over time. Whether it is physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual in nature, it can sometime be viewed as difficult to change our ways. When I tell people that things are changing, I get two different types of reactions. One can bring a smile to your face, while the other, a look of sadness. How are you holding onto the past? How are you letting the past go? It does not matter how much you hold onto something, when the Universe says, “let go” one just complies. You may comply, kicking and screaming or you may just fall into acceptance and release!

The first part of November is a busy one, starting with Saturn square Chiron on November 2nd. This aspect can activate feelings of sensitivity. It’s asking everyone to let go of ways of being (emotionally or psychologically) that are stopping you from being TRUE to yourself. Then on November 4th, the Full Moon in Taurus transpires. Being in a ‘release’ month, the Full Moon in Taurus shows you where you need to make adjustments in what it is that you value. Sometimes this can manifest in an external event that has someone questioning the value that you bring. Are you or someone else de-valuing you on any level? Saturn trine Uranus on November 11th can move some blocks out of the way. We must remember that it is very important to implement responsible behaviors as you embrace any new and exciting concepts.

Inspiration: Shifting Victim Consciousness

I had an amazing interview with my favorite nuclear physicist Tom Campbell at the beginning of the month that we labeled “Tough Love”. This show had some very controversial points made that listeners responded to. The show really discussed how to ‘Let Go’ but most of the responses were to comments made around Victim Consciousness and that is why I am going to write about it this month. Also ‘victim consciousness’ fits with the typical theme of November which is family and holidays. How do these link to Victim Consciousness? They link because usually our triggers and issues around holidays and family have to do with us taking things personally and then going into feeling like we are the victim.

When we engage in Victim Consciousness we are blaming others or ‘society’ for something personal that we perceive as happening to us. During the holiday season we often are triggered by something our family or friends do that we take personally as we see it as happening to us. Our families have the largest impact on us and holidays are when we get together with our families the most. Our families easily trigger us because they are often intermingled with the beliefs we chose when we were under the age of 7: the belief that somehow our family is to blame. Prior to the age of 7 we didn’t have a say in how we chose our life and regardless of what may have happened we created a trigger around family and believed we were a victim. So the Victim Consciousness is deep within us all.

It is my hope that we all can see that this is not about laying blame on family, friends or society as blame feeds into our fears. The intent of my shows with Tom Campbell are to find practical applications for his work. He made a comment about being ‘short’ – which by the way I am – which was to assist us to see when we are in Victim Consciousness because there is a belief that short people are treated differently and are usually less successful. When we are in Victim Consciousness we are in fear. Fear propagates more fear. My shows are to assist us to Grow Up and in Tom’s words: “lower entropy” – in my words: “BEcome Love”. People are discriminated for many reasons – age, race, sex – and people have overcome insurmountable challenges by facing their fears. Nelson Mandela was an inspiration to millions of people because he let go of the Victim Consciousness many would have suffered from by being falsely imprisoned. He would never have been able to Let Go if he hadn’t had the courage to face his fears and forgive those who wrongly accused him and betrayed him. He rose above his fears and found Peace, Acceptance and Unconditional Love. If you believe because you are short you will be discriminated against – you never have the courage to try or to face this fear, you will believe you are a victim. We can’t change others, or their prejudices, we can only change how we view the world. If we accept we are a victim then we are letting our fears control and manipulate us and, more than that, we fail to grow up.

Most people have challenges. In fact we all have our crosses to bear and we have these crosses to assist us perfectly to Grow Up. Otherwise, if we have a Pollyanna life, there is nothing pushing us to Grow. And most people don’t have perfect childhoods, however, it is how we perceive these challenges that is being addressed.

No one knows completely where our fears come from – it is hard to see the bigger picture – we don’t remember the belief we took on from some of the simplest of happenings – as most of our beliefs, habits and stories are created before the age of 7. And it may not have been the sexual abuse or the abandonment of a parent or the physical abuse that occurred when we were young but a simple event even earlier than the ones we remember.

However the point of this article is to help us understand Victim Consciousness and that only we ourselves have the ability to change our perceptions, beliefs, habits and stories. We can’t do this change if we believe we are a victim so we have to let go of the pain – the fear. And although it sounds simple – it isn’t easy. And that is the way to Grow Up! It doesn’t matter when we do it – we will continue to have experiences that appear to justify and validate our stories – until we make different choices. It is through our choices that we can intend to BE Love!

Tom and I believe we move out of Victim Consciousness through having the courage to face our fears. Courage is a way to overcome our fears and to see when we may be falling into Victim Consciousness. Courage helps us face the harder truths – things are never personal – and it helps us align with our True Essence because we can know that life isn’t exactly how we see it or perceive it. We aren’t our story, we aren’t victims. We are Divine BEings who can choose how to respond to life and choose what we believe. Of course the first piece in this puzzle is to know when we hold beliefs that suggest we are victims in our life. It is always easier to blame others or society – it is more powerful to take responsibility for the Story we have told ourselves most of our life and have the courage to examine those beliefs, habits and stories. I choose to take responsibility for my life and make choices that empower me to Grow Up. What do you choose?

Oct Newsletter 2017: Keeping your Energy Clear

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween!

This has been quite the beginning to Fall here in Toronto. The hottest days this summer occurred this fall. And I felt particularly drained last week while trying to meet my deadline of the beginning of the month. So, instead I relaxed and let it all unfold 💜 Things are never quite the way we believe they are going to be and it was my inspiration for this month’s blog on keeping our energy clear. With all that has been happening in the world, it is hard to get upset about the small things. And most things are small things in the grand scheme of life.

We survived Mercury Retrograde just to begin it all again for our main Christmas season Dec 2nd to the 21st which will tamper with our Christmas gift giving. Yikes! Just letting you know in advance. Some planning may be necessary this holiday season.

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Oct 2017

Another month has come and gone! We ended September with Pluto stationing direct and Jupiter opposite Uranus on September 28th! The result for many people was pure exhaustion. A tired energy that lingered deep into your bones, leaving you with wondering if you can keep expending this much energy. Now that October has officially started, does not mean that that exhaustion has left, as with outer planets, their vibe lasts for a while (a week or two in total).

October is all about balance and transformation. Balance comes the Sun and Mercury in Libra. Libra’s ruling planet, Venus (Woman, relationships, love and values) will be joining with Mars (men, action, and motivation) on October 5th, which initiates new relationship energy for everyone. Of course, the mind is activated here as both of these planets are in the sign of Virgo. Try not to analyze everything that is happening or you will find yourself off balance.

The big shift that is coming in October is Jupiter is moving into the sign of Scorpio on October 10th! Oh yah, change is happening! Did you notice the synchronicity? On the 10th month, the 10th day, in a 10th year, the planet which rules the 10th card of the tarot deck is changing signs! Jupiter transits a sign for approximately 12 to 14 months. As it completes its journey in the sign of Libra, we are finishing up with the learning’s of attaining balance and harmony. You may have had a relationship experience that has taught you a lot and allowed you to grow in ways that you could not even have imagined. Now that Jupiter is shifting into the sign of Scorpio, it is all about change!

Inspiration: Keeping your Energy Clear

What a summer this fall has been! Caught in a heat warning for the past week I have been examining how we deal with our life and energy. This past week especially – near the end of the Heat wave we experienced – I felt slammed energetically between being over worked and being drained due to the extreme heat. We all have times in our lives when things impact our energy and sometimes even on a daily occurrence. When life happens and we get caught up in it, our fears tend to get triggered and we may not even realize it and we go on autopilot where we are reacting to life instead of responding. Once we go on autopilot we don’t have any control over our reactions and this will trigger our fears. Although, we are never in control, we can be in charge of our responses except when they are automatic – meaning we need to be present and aware of our energy and our fears. We need to make a choice to not let our fears over take our life. However, it isn’t always easy to see how our energy – or the energy of others – is creating more fear in our lives. Sometimes we don’t realize what is happening until we sit in reflection and examine what has been going on in our lives. If we learn how to keep our energy clear we wouldn’t get slammed nor react to life but respond. We would know when life is happening and determine whether it is our own energy or the energy of another that is impacting us. Therefore, we can make different choices on what the next move is to make us feel better.

So what can we do when, sitting in reflection, we realize something isn’t right? I will give you all the benefits of why having a personal or home clearing can be very helpful at that time: because sometimes we just need to explore our own options and eliminate things in our life that interfere or keep us blocked.

The benefits of having a home clearing can be found here. The benefits of a personal clearing will allow us to remove the cords (emotional and ethereal) that have been holding us back, most often from prior to the age of 7 when most of our patterns, behaviors and stories were created. Because we had a physical umbilical cord nourishing and nurturing us as fetuses, we create etheric cords that act in similar ways to most people in our lives, our family and intimate partners and to some extend co-workers, bosses and friends as well. A clearing allows us to start anew and change the old cords, patterns and stories that have become outdated from our childhood so that we can truly rebuild our foundations and create stronger ones. Either way – whether you have me do it, have someone else do it or you do it yourself – you still have to do the work yourself because everything happens within and nothing happens unless you allow it to.

So, what can we do ourselves? There are many things we can do before bringing in a professional and this will also assist you if you decide that you can’t do it on your own. Meditation, prayers (see links to some prayers I recommend) disciplines, commitment, music, crystals etc. – these can all assist us to keep clear. Choose an approach to keeping clear that resonates with you … and find your way. Find practices that still the mind, body, and spirit so you can hear the gentle guidance of the heart. Examine your reactions because how you respond in certain situations will help you understand yourself better.

Uncover how your limiting beliefs/habits/stories are holding you back and keeping you stuck. Reviewing these go a long way in understanding how you cope with life. Becoming aware of your reactions and responses to others helps you determine what responsibility you have – or are sharing – with your energy: are you blaming others, making judgments, needing to be ‘right’ to satisfy your ego? Are your emotions hijacking you? What are your stress triggers? There are so many questions that will help you understand what is influencing your energy. Once you determine what is influencing you the determination will assist you in becoming more aware how you are coping and what is affecting your energy. However, if you are always shifting it outside of you, please know that this is your Ego and you need to accept responsibility for your life and energy. Everything always comes from within you.

Here are some further tools that will assist you. When you learn how to shift from your head to your heart you can move towards acceptance, non-judgment and witness consciousness. This isn’t easy but it is simple. You learn to trust and accept everything as Divine in your life. When you can Live in Present Moment Awareness you can make breakthroughs as this is the only time you have the power to change anything in your life. Learning to break through your patterns and reactions to be in charge of your responses helps you to understand how things are impacting your energy. Trusting your Intuition and your Innate Inner Guidance is a wonderful tool to hearing that gentle voice within. Expressing your Authenticity, the natural soul essence of who you are, will allow you to BE who you are meant to be and grow towards the Divine essence of You.

In the book that was published “the Realities of Creation” – in my chapter on the Power of the Heart – I explored these tools and also offered ways to assist with understanding who you are. Obviously our energy and keeping it clear has to do with how we are showing up in our lives. Our internal and external queues affect how we relate in the world. Everything impacts our energy. Yet simply observing our thoughts, our behaviors, our patterns and stories will assist us to keep our energy clear.

One of the big things is remembering that this life is just one piece in the puzzle that is our soul. So we really need to give ourselves a break, be gentle on ourselves – and others – and create more awareness. We also need to take actual ‘breaks’ to refresh our energy and stop worrying about things so much like getting out my newsletter on the first of the month.

As I was reviewing a report the other day it was reminding me that not only a good night sleep was important but also relaxing and taking physical breaks from life are needed – and not just the ones that distract us like binging on Netflix. Following our intuition – especially when it reminds us that everything is Divine! And finding ways to be non-attached to outcomes and thereby letting go of the emotional charge with which situations present themselves to us. This doesn’t mean we are unauthentic or are somehow bypassing our lives.

But in all of us let’s remember that breathing is far more important than we usually realize. I recommend Heart Breathing and will be creating a post on this, with an audio meditation to assist (it will be linked to this blog when complete). And lastly, and it is really key to all this: get clear about what you really want. Often we just know what we don’t want but that’s not enough because these are very different things!

I also want to offer some things that can remove or shift your actual physical energy in this article about Energy Clearing. I often recommend having a salt water bath: putting two cups of salt into the bath water will energetically clear one’s physical body. This will have an effect similar to swimming in the ocean despite the fact that this is a luxury that most don’t have. Burning a beeswax candle for three hours is very good for your home and for your body. Using a Tibetan or crystal bowl or drumming can clear both house and person. Creating an alter for prayers in your home is a way of creating a discipline and intention within your home for honoring your Inner Self. Reading an inspiring book can shift your energy. Going for a walk on the grass or earth – barefoot – is great for grounding any energy in your body and while you do this imagine the earth accepting your energy almost like a waterfall moving through you – or imagine the energy going down through the roots of your inner tree.

Everyone has their own way to get their energy clear and often it is triggered by recognizing that there is a problem first. Sometimes we are so embroiled in life we are too caught up to see how it is affecting ourselves. We can always offer up everything to the Divine within us – or outside of us – (as long as we believe this will work) and Let GO. What is your way of keeping your energy clear? Let’s play together.

Sept Newsletter 2017: Letting GO – Is it a Choice?

Happy Equinox!

I can’t believe the summer is almost over and we are heading into our Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. I do love the Fall, although, this summer has been too short and the weather this past month has been confusingly cooler than normal, although, certainly not cold. And what about that amazing Solar Eclipse?

The energies have been quite extraordinary despite Mercury’s Retrograde transition in Virgo. Alas we still have a few more days with the trickster planet before it goes direct. What will you remember most about the Summer of 2017?

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: Sept 2017

We start the month of September with a Mercury Retrograde. Mercury stationed retrograde on August 12th while at 11 degrees of Virgo. However, at the end of August on the 31 Mercury has retrograded back into the Sign of Leo! While Mercury blazes through Leo in Retrograde, one may be able to find love through unusual perspectives. If we look to what is happening with all the flooding around the world (USA and India, Nepal and Bangladesh) there is an unusual perspective of love being shown. On the same note, for those experiencing it, there are unusual views of courage being expressed.

Mercury will station direct on September 5th at 28 degrees of Leo! This direct motion takes place at the exact same degree as the Solar Eclipse that transpired on August 21st. When ever a planets stations at the same degree as an eclipse, there is a trigger of that eclipse energy. What did you experience during the Solar Eclipse in August? That eclipse was all about awakening to what is keeping you from living with an open heart filled with Love.

But with Mercury stationing direct, our mind is now involved. How is your mind not supporting the visions and desires of your heart? How can you change your thought process so that you can align to living with a more opened heart? As Mercury triggers that vibration once again, we will see what the final pieces of the puzzle are to awaken to the vibration of Love! Mercury will not be in this sign of Leo for long, only 10 days, before it goes back into Virgo on September 10th.

With Mercury in Leo one must keep their ego in check. If working from ego consciousness, there is a block to receiving true Love vibrations.
Additionally, at the time of the Solar Eclipse in Leo, Mercury was at 8 Degrees of Virgo Rx. So when we are in the post shadow period, there may be an opportunity to heal the mind when it returns to this degree on September 17th! All I can say is “Open your mind, and your heart will follow… or… Open your heart and your mind will follow”. Both statements are true, it’s just a matter of which one comes first for you!

There is more taking place in the month of September, but you will have to check it out here

Inspiration: Letting GO – Is it a Choice

‘Letting Go’ is a concept I have worked with and discussed in my blogs for many years. Sometimes I feel that I understand it from just a mental notion and other times I feel that I understand it from a BEing level. However, offering a way for others to work with ‘letting go’ is not as easy as I would like. When something feels easy, like how I can shut my empath abilities off – as I learned to do as a young child – I find it difficult to explain in a way that my readers (clients, friends) can easily understand and use their understanding in living their lives more fully. I think when something becomes second nature to me I need to take extra care in explaining myself – especially when we are talking about ‘letting go’.

Some may say it is because I am an Aquarian that allows me to distance myself and easily let go; others may suggest it is because I have learned to not deal with certain triggers but rather stuff them down and go into ‘spiritual bypass’ – although I know this not to be the case – and therefore I SEEM to let go. However, it is my spiritual growth, strong logic and life choices that have allowed me to shift from a place of being triggered to a place of ‘letting go’.

I am consciously aware of when I go into a place of being triggered. I know when my emotions are triggered and I feel uncomfortable. I become conscious of this quickly and determine whether these are my fears or something else. And it is always my fears! So if I feel discomfort then I know it is a fear that is in play. However, it is important not to bypass the authenticity of certain emotions. Grief is a very raw emotion and it is an authentic emotion but allowing it to take over my life doesn’t honor my life or journey. We definitely need to BE more authentic, acknowledging when we are in emotions that are ‘real’ and true is important in BEing authentic. However, it is still our fears. But allowing these fears to rule our lives, to add to our story and create suffering, is a choice. The choice we are choosing is fear. We are holding on to fear.

We often hold on for all the wrong reasons: we hold on to people because we believe they are ‘the one’ or because we believe we can’t ever be loved or we believe we don’t want to be alone; we hold on to places we are afraid to leave; we hold on to stories because we are too attached to them and can’t see that by our holding on we continue to recreate them; we hold on to situations that we blame, justify and judge so that our ego can personalize everything like it is happening to ‘us’; and we hold on to our beliefs, intentions and fears that have so much of our energy wrapped up and inserted into the ‘story’ of our lives. We seem to have too much attachment to holding on because what if we have nothing left if we let go of the things we hold onto so tightly?

What would our lives look like if we couldn’t control, manipulate, change or fix them? Ironically, we can never control or manipulate our lives or anyone else’s – we are only ‘in charge’ of our choices.

And when it comes to change, healing or fixing of our-self or someone else – often becomes a block. It would be best if we could unconditionally accept and love and have change come from this space of acceptance instead of trying to fix everything. As we are inherently perfect just as we are! It is through acceptance that most change can come from a BEing level.

Ultimately, we don’t see we have any choices and continue to give our power to others and situations outside of us so that we feel justified in our fears and stories. Most people believe we don’t have choices because we believe our emotions are being overpowered by people and situations outside of us. I see that ‘letting go’ really comes from our ability to see that we DO have a choice. What do you choose?

July & August Newsletter 2017: Transitions

Happy Summer!

I hope everyone is having a Wonderful Summer. For me it has been a HUGE revelation and Awakening. A full year of transitions that have ended a series of 3 with my mother’s passing June 25th 2017 (see blog below for more information). So for that reason I have missed my July 1st newsletter and will include as much of August to wrap up the summer edition.

Since this newsletter will include August I wanted to remind you that we will be having a Solar Eclipse on Aug 21st, some people in North America will have a Full Solar Eclipse and here in Toronto it will be a partial, but should be quite spectacular. Just be SAFE! We will also have Mercury Retrograde beginning August 12th and in Virgo, which Mercury rules which may make it pretty powerful. Unfortunately, we may not be able to take advantage of the typical great deals for new computers or tablets that occur in August.

I have a new Teleclass on Sunday July 30th at 3pm EDT that I hope you will join!

I’m offering a new service of personalized 10 minute meditations that will include a set of wishes that are channeled to inspire you or someone you love for the Holidays or any day! This is a wonderful way to begin or end your day!

What’s Up in the Universal Sky this month: July & August 2017

The summer has been an interesting one so far! I am not speaking about world events, but rather personal ones. As a 1 year, we are all open to new beginnings, but who knew, that the 10 energy would have a stronger influence then the 1? Ten is comprised of the numbers “1” and “0”, and before we can start anew, we must focus on the circle of spirit, the zero. Before we can start anew, we must identify with the aspect of self that is not human, you can call it your Soul or you can call it your Spirit, they are similar, but they are also different. Our Soul is our highest feminine influence of the goddess that lives within everyone. Our spirit is our highest masculine influence of the Divine. Our Soul is our light and our Spirit is what shines from that light. Our Soul is a mystery to us, but our Spirit is what lives within us at our heart center. When we forget to raise the vibration of our Spirit, it can easily fall prey to our ego. Our ego is our lowest vibration of being human. The part of us that forgets there is a divine plan, the part of us that tries to control what is happening in our lives, when in fact there is no control.

Why all this talk of ego, spirit, soul and control? Well with the Sun moving into the sign of Leo, the ruler of the Sun, our heart chakra and our creative potential. That will become the focus of our realties in the next little while.

I am not just speaking of the Sun in Leo, keep in mind the path we are travelling this year as it is connected to the North and South Nodes is also the Leo / Aquarius, the path of Love! Personal love vs. universal love. Conditional love vs unconditional love. Creation vs manifestation. This is the balance we are all trying to integrate at this time. With the Nodes in Leo / Aquarius we can experience eclipses in these signs as well, and guess what? They are taking place in the month of August.

Eclipses are points of emotional and psychological release! The Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) typically being more emotional then the Solar Eclipse (New Moon). The Lunar Eclipse will show you your lessons and what you need to release, and the Solar Eclipse will show you your gifts and how you can embrace them through releasing what no longer serves. Both challenge us to tap into our raw feminine energies, to dive deep into our heart and all the lower chakra’s so that we can release what does not serve our Spirit. Typically ego issues will be triggered, but there is hope, there is the rise of the Age of Light which activates our Souls higher frequencies so that we can BE all that we ARE!

Oh yah, I almost forgot, while we are trying to find balance in the eclipses, Mercury will station retrograde in August. Nothing like feeling the lunar flow when the mind has retreated inwards! Get ready, it is going to be very interesting!!!

In my monthly newsletter I will specifically tap into the eclipses in August, but for now, if you would like to understand July, you can check it out on my blog at Universalsky.com

Inspiration: Transitions fear from Change to Death

Transition can mean several different things. It can mean change; it can mean we are going through a different phase in our lives; or it can mean the ultimate transition, death. There seems to be a lot of fear around ‘transition’ and ‘change’ and maybe there is something in the word ‘transition’ that brings up our wounded child who is afraid of the unknown. For me the month of June brought with it the end of a cycle of ‘transitions’ over the past year and with the end of a cycle of ‘transitions’ perhaps I am seeing things more clearly and am more able to face other transitions yet to be without the same kind of anxiety I may have in the past. My brother was buried June 30^th 2016; my beloved cat Jasper transitioned Oct 1^st, 2016, and finally my mother transitioned and was buried June 28^th2017. They say bad luck comes in threes but for me these three transitions were symbolic of a deeper message around letting go. The power of three huge occurrences that happened in one year suggests to me that my life has been completely reborn into something new. My being reborn is like a transition toward freedom. I have an opportunity to see the world anew and look at what is most important to me and maybe to look at what I have been afraid to do and allow the Universe to show me something I can’t even imagine. THAT would be most important to me, that act of just allowing myself to change how I look at the world and that would help bring about change or transition in me that is freeing. So there really is no need to fear change.

I often wonder why we fear change and the unknown. If we believe our Soul is eternal then there is no change – like the transition we make from this world to another at what is called ‘death’ – that is ever really unknown. No major transition could possibly happen to us that we haven’t already experienced and therefore we should hardly fear it. Even death, albeit most difficult for the ones left behind, is just a transition to another state of BEing … and we get to go ‘home’. What could be better than that?

What I was finally able to heal by the end of this transitions episode was my abandonment issue, as central to my understanding with the most recent passing of my mother. And I wasn’t triggered in ways that I have been. So as my mother was preparing for her transition – that came on very quickly and surprisingly – I was able to hold space and quickly come to terms with her passing. I know she is free and with that I too have a greater freedom than I have ever had.

The journey began with my brother, who I was holding as he began his ascension. And I believe my sweet boy Jasper allowed me to dive deeper into this sacred wound and with the bringing of my adorable girl Angel I was finally able to see just how immortal our souls are; as she was the combination of the three most important beloved human carers (pets) in my life.

So then the question remains: what is it about change, transition, and the unknown that we fear so much? While preparing for my interview with Paul Selig – that had to be rescheduled because of all the time I spent with my mother as she was transitioning – I realized just how powerful the present moment is and I became very aware of some ‘truths’ that I may have known on a mental level but never truly felt on a BEing level.

As an aside I must say that I’m very much looking forward to this interview with Paul, an interview that has been rescheduled for Sept 12^th. He is writing a very powerful trilogy. The Book of Mastery was released in 2016 and The Book of Truth: The Mastery Trilogy came out in mid-2017 and the third is to be released next year. I highly recommend any of his books but the first two of his new trilogy profoundly affected me. There are very powerful words and initiations that lie within these channeled words.

So back to my question: ‘what do we fear?’ I believe this is a question we must explore deeply within ourselves as it could be the answer – and a way – toward healing our sacred core wounds. To me the answers and healings occurred while reading and feeling Paul’s transformative words. These powerful and changing words affected me possibly more than even my personal trilogy of events that occurred this past year. I believe these events signaled an important phase in my life and maybe were the catalyst to personal healing but I also believe I have been being prepared for this particular change moment throughout my whole life. I feel reborn! Awakened in a way I have yet experienced. And it is through my continuing to explore all the different ways fear affects my life.

I also have the opportunity to work with some beautiful souls who are trying to understand their own core wounds. Through working with others I can often see more clearly what they need to do and it assists me to heal and BE clearer within my own triggers. The motto that I try to live by is: ‘Lead By Example’. When someone I know or work with is going through something I know on deeper levels it is something I am learning about myself and before recommending different options I ensure I live them first and foremost. This enables me to heal many of my issues that are more easily triggered. Some issues clear up even without direct experience. Still others become clearer because I now understand past experiences from a deeper place.

I believe the way to understand our issues the most is by detaching ourselves from the intensity or the emotional charge of the experience and the way we can do this is by reviewing our experiences. “Remembering the Light Within” is another incredible book from the Hulnick’s who I interviewed last month. The book offered some excellent thoughts that can help you if you are open to seeing things from a different perspective such as:

Our spiritual curriculum is to heal our unresolved issues;
Unresolved issues are anything that disturbs our Peace;
Unresolved issues are not bad; they’re simply part of our Spiritual Curriculum;
Unresolved issues are blessings, as they are opportunities for Healing and Awakening;
The work of Healing, or resolving unresolved issues, is spiritual work and is a major aspect of what Spiritual Awakening is all about; and
Observing Both our Inner and Outer Choices as we are the only one who can choose our attitude toward how we relate with ourselves, others, and the situations and circumstances in our life.
Will it be judging or accepting, criticizing or prizing? This last question is very important. Can we come from a place of unconditional love, acceptance and compassion towards ourselves and others?

The universe and our eternal Soul offer us infinite opportunities to heal our unresolved issues. If we don’t heal an issue it will be repeated until we can – even if it takes several lifetimes. This is the beauty of this physical reality. However, we must be open to fully embracing these teachings and pursuing the only true goals each life holds, to awaken to the present moment, acknowledge our choices of fear over love and know we are in charge of our story to truly heal and change our perception of our experiences: simple but not easy. And yet I feel I have overcome some of my deepest sacred wounds in my own trilogy of transitions that have taken place around me over the past year. The answer to understanding the ongoing transitions that seem to constantly flow around us lies within and can be revealed by the continuous pursuit of our Awakening. Walk with me (or run since everything seems to be at warp speed) as we take this path together.
