Inner Wisdom

My stream of unedited morning thoughts written last week on scraps of paper while taking the train with two littlies sleeping next to me:

"Stuck, stupefied, brain fog, exhaustion, unfocused, unclear........ but these things will shift, waiting in the wings is great clarity, great hope, great success. Light will pour down through your whole being. You are a clear channel and we are waiting until Sebastian is old enough to allow you to fly again with your healing career. For now you need to be cocooned in this space, to be learning, being a mother, being completely in the moment, present and wholly there for him and Theodore. It is not the time just yet for great launches out into the world. When the time is right the people will come, they will flood, they will pour in from every direction for the light and wisdom that you carry is ancient and will help unlock, to empower and to liberate others who will come for help. You don't need to understand it you just need to let it flow through you. You are spirit learning to be human. It can be a rough road but a joyous one full of inspiration, heart connection and many different souls with many different lessons. Look on them all and any situation that presents itself as your teacher. What can i learn from this? What can i do with what i've been given? How can i use what i have learnt? Have faith that life is a magical mystery with occasional glimpses/full on vistas of the whole picture. You are looked after on so many levels, nurture the light, paint the soul paintings, eat the soul food, listen to soul music, dance, walk in nature and love-art is your passion and the further unlocking of your gifts, your power is in the use of your hands in healing, in creation of art work, art pieces that hold the awakening healing energy, the matrix, the geometric grid, the sacred hologram. Sing the light, be the light, dance the light, become the light. Life Alignment will take you to another level.Your guides believe you should make art, soul art to unlock your full potential-decorate your house with art work that brings absolute joy, healing and complete protection from magnetic smog. The depression is your life long deplesion through electromagnetic smog. You need to protect yourself from this to be able to stay fully in that zinging joyful energised state, that is your natural state. You are shoved off centre each day by these elements.You know it, you are so sensitive that you can feel it wherever you are. Geometric, sacred geometric patterns will help. Start small and build. You will be a huge success-go for it. Allow it to happen, heal as you go. Be the example and you will attract all you need. Joy, Light, Spirit, Hope."

I put these personal morning pages into my blog to show that we all have days when we feel out of balance and our thoughts and way of being is not perhaps as we would like, but if we can tune in and step out of this we can get great guidance and can often refocus and align again. This reminded me that i am going in the right direction, but everything has its time and place.

The Time of the Sixth Sun

We are all one

There is an awakening happening that will hopefully lead humanity to realise that our future and the future of the world is in our hands and that the best way that we can ensure that we continue as a race is to cultivate love and to awaken to the knowledge that has been held for us, that we are all one and that we are part of a collective consciousness and together we can dream a new way of being into being.

The ones who have kept the knowledge, who have held the energy and wisdom of Atlantis, of the balance of Gaia and the cosmic realms, who have held the history of consciousness for humanity have held it for as long as they can, now it is up to you and i, it is time to

awaken to who we are and what we can and need to do.

The Time of the Sixth sun is a film about the shift in global awareness and the expansion of consciousness that is happening right now and as we move beyond 2012.

From the Americas to Africa, from Tibet to Australasia, these times are seen as pivotal
in the evolution of mankind. Ancient prophecies speak of massive earth changes
and of a huge shift in planetary consciousness….

…As financial and political systems collapse around us and society fragments, the world is increasingly looking for answers.
Our Ancestors understood our symbiotic relationship to the Earth and the Elements and foresaw the collapsing of an unsustainable world.

 It is time then for us to consciously dream a new future.

The "Time of the Sixth Sun" is a multi-platform film project about the awakening and transformation of global consciousness, a witnessing of these times bringing with it the huge potential for change in the world, in the way we relate to it and the way we live in it.

Civilizations throughout the ages have indicated through ancient calendars and visions that 2012 will be a pinnacle time in the evolution of mankind.  Native American ancestors prophesized this to be a time when the Condor and the Eagle would fly in the same sky in harmony. North and South, united in the Heart.

In the film wisdom keepers share their wisdom as many of those who hold the oral traditions are now preparing to leave this Earth plane. This visual witnessing of word and ceremony not only offers us stability in these challenging times but also guides us and our children into a new era. The strength of the film comes from the authenticity and integrity of the speakers that are interviewed.

Tribal leaders, scientists and thinkers are the pioneers and visionaries of our time, and each carries a sacred message.

Eywa the ancestral tree of souls from the film Avatar, the guiding force and deity of Pandora and the Na'vi people.

With our protagonist as our guide, we travel through the realms of prophetic vision and look at the possibilities they present for us to transmute and transform our lives in these challenging times. Like a mirror, our projections are reflected right back at us so that we might see ourselves more clearly. We carry within us the messengers from both the seen and unseen worlds, our denser and higher selves.

 EACH OF THE SEVEN CHAPTERS OF THE FILM REPRESENTS A NEW LEVEL OF CONSCIOUS AWARENESS….

This 108 minute documentary feature is a synergy of ceremonies and interviews from wisdom keepers all over the world cut together with a mix of archive footage, stills, graphics, and animation, with a depth and texture that draws the audience into a rich emotional experience.

Its a sensory feast that promises to be impact as much on the ear as on the eye.

This project explores some of the most colourful communities on the planet."

Here is another excerpt from the film, but in looking for this i came across the trailer for another interesting film called The Shift  by Dr. Wayne W.Dyer telling how we originated from the world of spirit and how if we can realise that we are not just defined by what we have and what others think of us we can be liberated.

And finally if you knew that 2012 was going to be the end of the world as we know it would you do something different? and if so why aren't you doing that now?

Listen, feel and follow your heart. Be in your heart. 

The Little Soul and the Sun

"The Little Soul and the Sun"  is a wonderful children's parable, adapted from the book "Conversations With God", by Neale Donald Walsch. I feel that it has a beautiful message about who we are, for everyone. 

Here is a wonderful review of the book taken from Amazon:

"This beautiful story is illustrated in lavish pastels by Frank Riccio, and features a parable about Little Soul--one who wants to experience itself as Who I Am. You see, Little Soul knows that it is Light--but feels that knowing isn't enough. So Little Soul asks God if it can actually feel what is means to be the Light. So God asks Little Soul how it can experience the Light when it is already as a candle in the Sun, along with the other billions of souls who make up the brilliance of the Sun? Little Soul entreats God to think of something--some way in which it can experience what it feels like to be Light.

God answers Little Soul "Since you cannot see yourself as the Light when you are in the Light, we'll surround you with darkness." Little Soul asks "What's darkness?" and God replies "It is that which you are not." Little Soul asks God if it will be afraid, but God says "only if you choose to be...there is nothing, really, to be afraid of, unless you decide that there is."

One of the central themes of "Conversations with God" is that in order for God to experience Itself, it had to be contrasted with something else, something "other". You cannot experience dark without light, up without down, now without then, fast without slow. The purpose of duality is to experience parts of the God-self in all its glory. In a sense, we are all a part of God, and God exploded into a million Souls to experience Itself.

However, when we made the journey Earthward, we forgot where we came from and who we were. The Little Soul and God continue the conversation, and talk about how everyone is special in their own way, each manifesting a different part of "special". Some parts of special include kindness, creativity, and patience. Little Soul decides that the part of "special" it wants to experience is the part of special known as forgiveness. A multitude of Souls gather around God and Little Soul to hear this extraordinary conversation, and God sweeps an arm towards them: "There is nothing to forgive" God says. Little Soul could hardly believe what God said. "Everything I have made is perfect. There is not a single soul in all of creation less perfect than you. Look around you."

Little Soul grumbles that this wasn't fun at all! How would it experience itself as One Who Forgives if there was noone to forgive? Just then, Friendly Soul offers to help him, volunteering to come into Little Soul's next lifetime so it can do something for Little Soul to forgive. Little Soul was incredulous, and aks why Friendly Soul, who was such a magnificent Being of perfect Light, would want to become dense and dark, slowing it's vibration in order to do this bad thing for Little Soul to forgive? "Simple", The Friendly Soul replies. "I would do it because I love you." Friendly Soul goes on to explain that both it and Little Soul have been male and femaile, good and bad, victim and villian, All of It. "Thus have we come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing to the other the exact and perfect opportunity to Express and to Experience Who We Really Are."

In being the "bad one" this time around, Friendly Soul will give Little Soul the opportunity to experience itself as One Who Forgives. Friendly Soul becomes serious and confirms that it will have to become dense and dark to do this act and that both it and Little Soul may forget Who They Were. Friendly Soul asks Little Soul a favor: to remember, in the moment that it strikes and smites Little Soul, doing the worst that it can possibly imagine, that Little Soul will remember Who Friendly Soul Really Is.

An agreement was made, and Little Soul goes forth into a new lifetime, excited to be the Light, and to experience that part of "special" called Forgivness. "...whenever a new soul brought joy or sadness--and especially if it brought sadness--the Little Soul thought of what God had said. 'Always remember', God had smiled, 'I have sent you nothing but angels.'"

My favorite passage of the book, which is the major theme of the New Age, is:

 "And so", God concluded, "when you are surrounded with darkness, do not shake your fist and raise your voice and curse the darkness. Rather, be a Light unto the darkness, and don't be mad about it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and all others will know, too. Let your Light so shine that everyone will know how special you are!"

 Let your light shine

Be Bold

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative (and creation). There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas & splendid plans: that moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents & meetings & material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power & magic in it. Begin it now.” - Goethe

Risking change awakens our ability to see. "We only have to risk opening the door. Sometimes we have no idea where we are going, in what direction or for how long. But that’s the risk we have to take if we want to become more, see more and understand more of our self." (Karen Wallace, Art Therapist). We have to trust which takes courage and let ourselves be in a place of 'not knowing', only then can we truly start to see and move towards the realisation of our hopes and dreams. It can allow for new possibilities, to explore new experiences and become aware of new talents and gifts.

Karen Wallace says that it can help to ask ourselves:

• How does it feel to take a big risk?
• What are some of your fears when you took a risk or started something new?
• List your beliefs about yourself.
• What could you risk changing on this list?
• What would be the cost of taking this risk?
• What would be the benefit of taking this risk?

Fear can be powerful in its ability to suppress, suffocate and hold you back. It can cause indecision, procrastination and stagnation, but it can also highlight where you most need healing and movement. Paradoxically focusing on the fear, delving deeper into it and exploring it instead of trying to push it away or running from it can bring it to light and often resolve the root cause of your fear and your paralysis. You can be released from it sometimes just by shining a light on it.

It can also help to see FEAR as:

False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

and change it into:

Focused
Energy
Alters
Reality

Fear has the effect of drawing in our auras and therefore our light, but what we most need when we feel afraid is to project our auras out expanding our light and therefore widening our protection.
Standing in our light and in our power is what helps us to grow and to move forward through our fears, but sometimes we need help to do this.

During my early teens when i was feeling very disconnected and ill at ease in the world and in my own body and being and therefore experiencing a lot of fear and paralysis in different forms i remember an incredible experience that began to change the way that i viewed myself and the world.

I cannot remember now exactly when it happened, even what year it was but i know it came after i asked for help calling from the bottom of my heart. I remember i was reading in bed late at night at my parents house, but despite the gentle nature of the book i started to feel an intense unease and then suddenly wave upon wave upon wave of fear rolling in and crashing down on me. I could see this in an energetic form and i could feel the fears intensely, every fear from the smallest to the largest that i had ever had. It felt like i was having to face my worst fears in life in a way that meant that i could not run from them, i had no choice but to experience each one in full in a myriad of different ways as i lay there. But within this intense and overwhelming experience i slowly began to feel that i could handle them and whatever fears i had began to dissolve in front of me, slowly melting into nothing and as they did i felt fully released from them. At the same time i began to feel the energy completely shift within the room and as the physicality of the room began to vibrate and expand so did i, so that i was no longer just my body, but connected to so much more. I felt and saw light pouring into the space around me and within me and the most incredible all encompassing love of the deepest kind came with it. It filled every part of me and there was nothing beyond it but waves upon waves of love and i felt i was being carried up and out on it.

The room slowly expanded filling with beings of light in front of my eyes, angels forming circles without end around me, and each one was pulsing with energy which changed from green, to pink to yellow to pure white light, all colours of the rainbow as far as the eye could see and i felt lifted up on the love that poured through everything, through every part of me, it was the deepest most all encompassing love and the room that has expanded beyond imagination was pushed completely out of view. There was no beginning and no end and i knew with absolute certainty that i was loved for every part of me that i was, that had been and that would be. I had always been loved and i always would be loved. I was part of the divine, connected and whole as i had always been (as we all are) and the angelic beings would always be there for me. I knew in that moment that i could let go of the world and go with them if i chose to, that i could come completely out of body, but something in me pulled me back and i knew that i couldn't go yet, there was something i needed to stay for and as i felt this i began to feel myself being slowly poured back into my body yet i could see my energy body still pulsing with light and energy. The room slowly came back into being at the same time yet the angels remained and so did this intense feeling of love, healing and the knowledge that i was connected to the divine. I knew at a deep level that i was ok and i felt a huge weight had been lifted leaving me feeling completely at peace and held by love until long after i went to sleep. It was an experience that i cannot do justice to in written form but it is one that will never leave me and i have always been able to tap back into, when i remember.

It opened my eyes again and sowed the seeds for a deep change, even though it took many years of illness and set backs, it helped to keep me from drowning in it and gave me an anchor and a rememberance of spiritual knowledge that i needed to keep me heading towards health and ultimately vibrating with life.  From this point on i began to see and receive angelic and spiritual help in many different ways. I knew even if i didn't remember it every day or see the angels and spirit guides that they were there and that i was connected to the divine and loved beyond imagining.

You might want to look at this article about Lorna Bryne author of "Angels in my hair" . Her book is a magical and healing one. It reminds us to look below the surface a little more in life to see the magic and the help that is available in angelic form. It is Lornas story about how she has been able to see angels from birth and how she works with them to help others.

Be bold and listen to your fears because by looking closer at what scares us the most we can be given the key to transform what is holding us back. If we can be bold, including asking for help, we can start to attract magic, power and boundless energy.

 “...to see life again as a child, to see wonder, the awe, the marvel, the simplicity of the blade of grass.” (Michael Fox) and the magic of life in its entirety, even in our darkest moments, is something to relish and delight in.

FACE Your Fears of Increased Visibility

I recently came across this fascinating blog post by medical intuitive Laura Bruno: "Healthy skin: some medical intuitive observations." In it she talks about skin issues from the perspective and experience of a medical intuitive and says that as our skin represents the face we show the world–the wrapping on the package of our soul, when skin issues present themselves, the last thing people want to do is increase their visibility. But sometimes that’s exactly what needs to occur in order for the symptoms to resolve. As someone who has struggled for years with skin issues namely acne and also consequently with putting myself out there i.e stepping into the light and allowing others to see me and also to really talk about what i believe in or what i do (my healing work) this makes total sense to me. Funnily enough the more i work on this issue and make myself more visible in every way the better my skin seems to get.

Laura Bruno says that "The more people can embrace the beauty of what wants to flow through them and allow that message whatever size stage it needs, the more the acne or other unsightly things seem to resolve."

I will repost Nelson Mandelas 1994 inaugural speech (written by Marianne Williamson) because it fits so beautifully with theme and the fear of letting our inner light shine:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Let your light shine, you are beautiful and the world will benefit hugely by letting it see you.
