New Year’s Day Blessing for You and Our Planet

by

Donyvon, my hair stylist, raved about this movie, “I Am,” which I finally watched* over the Christmas holidays.  WOW!  It is a beautiful documentary of the scientific proof of our interconnectedness with everything and everyone on this planet.  Much more important than the science however, at least to me, was this movie’s ability to open your heart to how YOU can contribute to the betterment of our planet.  Your energy, your consciousness, your actions, make a difference, which is the very definition of being a conscious evolutionary.

The most fascinating demonstration of this in the film was an experiment of electrodes placed in some yogurt and attached to a meter that could read changes in the electromagnetic field in the yogurt.  The director of the movie, Tom Shadyac (director of Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty), was encouraged to think about people or situations that would elicit a strong emotional response.  He was not hooked up to anything, yet, his emotions registered as significant changes in the electrical field of the yogurt.  This was a powerful demonstration that we ripple energy and affect everything around us; everything reads our energy!

So, with that in mind I am making a request of you for this New Year’s Day, January 1, 2014.  Around the world this day is traditionally focused on questions such as “how can I be a better person, have a better life, etc.,” creating a huge wave of collective desire (strong emotion!) for something new.  Will you join me, along with the 1200+ friends of Ken Graydon, and use this wave of collective emotion to amplify a healing for ourselves, and therefore for our world?

The following blessing is from Ken Graydon, based on his work with the Organ Regeneration Process which recognizes that you are a hologram for all.  Feel the energy embedded in this, change the words to fit your own spiritual understandings if you need to, and then read it aloud on Wednesday, January 1.

starsI am in spirit; I and the Creator are one.
My healing blesses all of creation.
My intention with this healing is to offer regeneration to this whole body to bring it to the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical standard that the Creator and I had planned for it to be at now.
I go to the high point of my soul where I may tap into the source of all healing, the place of healing peace, the fountain of joy and the river of abundance. I am wrapped in a cloak of power, which may only be used for good. My tongue is blessed that I may speak the words of power, but only when used with love.

I make every effort to expand my consciousness, understanding and spiritual awareness to be the best possible representative of the Creator’s teaching and healing intentions for people, animals, environment and the planet.

I believe in this healing. I accept and allow all the blessings into my life. I am filled with gratitude and peace.

And so it is.

 

May you experience a blessed, abundant, healthy and astonishingly connected love for our planet in 2014.

 

* I watched the movie on HuluPlus.  I read that it’s also available on Netflix and you can rent it on Amazon.

Is This 5D Body Consciousness?

by

Ooooo-weeeee!  It’s always interesting to set intentions and then see what shows up!

The intention I set this past summer was to explore a deeper experience of body consciousness that is natural, whole and infinite; a consciousness that is distinct from my Essence, yet entangled with it.  My sense of this body consciousness that is emerging through me is different than anything I’ve read about or experienced before.

It is not about how emotions and limiting beliefs are stored in the body, though I am quite aware of this consciousness and have tools and techniques to explore this inner landscape.  Nor is it about using consciousness to morph or shift my physical body, as I also have experiences, tools and processes to do this as well.   It is a consciousness I have not yet fully grasped, but can sense a distinction for myself that is beyond the denseness of 3D physicality, yet is completely in the physical realm.

I just returned from a very physically focused vacation of hiking and mountain biking where I had a couple of experiences that seem to relate to my intention of getting a deeper sense of an innate body consciousness.  The first was an experience that seemed to be stored in my very DNA at the lowest end of the vibration scale, while the second experience seemed to be total integration of my physicality with the environment at higher vibrations.

Luckily for us the state of Utah took up the expense of the national parks and opened Arches NP.  One of the most recognizable images of this park is the “Delicate Arch” which Delicate Archtakes a 1 ½ mile hike up, up, up to see.  It is outstandingly beautiful.  Much to my surprise, however, I experienced an anxiety attack stepping onto the slanted rock that surrounded the arch.  Though called “slick rock,” the surface of this rock is like sand paper, not slick at all, but rather sticky.  Kids were jumping and running all around me, yet my body began to shake uncontrollably.  It was incredibly interesting for me to observe the “irrational” sense of a lack of safety, and I was fascinated to hear myself actually begin to whimper and cry, even as my husband supported my body and tried to walk me toward the arch.  I tried to “feel” for the fear, but actually couldn’t find a field of energy, it felt “outside” of emotion.  This experience was definitely in the “lizard” brain, my body reacting to it’s own “danger, danger” warning signal, something ingrained or conditioned.  What occurred to me, even in that moment, is that I was experiencing the physical representation of the separated body consciousness, just like lower vibrating Ego states are the representation of the separated Essence.

Onion Creek TrailOn our last day in Moab, we mountain biked through beautiful red rock canyons along Onion Creek.  We crossed the creek 20+ times on the way out, challenging my skills, but doable.  After our lunch break we retraced our ride, this time with a downhill gradient, and the creek crossings took on a whole new feel.  It felt like I had become one with this environment.  The water splashing sounded like laughter.  The sandy loam that had tugged me off the bike on the way out, seemed to pull me forward and through to firmer soil as we flew back to the car on our bikes.  The blue sky, the red rock, the laughing stream, the sandy soil, the bike and my body were all co-creating simultaneously the physical expression of joy!

Yes, the emotion was there, but it was more than that.  I was experiencing the physical sensation of an expanded body consciousness, in its whole and natural state of physicality integrating in oneness with other physicality just like when I feel myself as expanded Essence and a facet of All That Is.  To me, these feel like distinct, yet entangled, states of consciousness.  It was a “taste test” of what is possible, of what I think 5D physicality might feel like.  I look forward to more of it!

Are You Playing with A New Sense of Your Body Consciousness?

  •  You can learn a lot of fun tools and processes that connect you to higher states of consciousness in the Consciousness Playground with Wendy Down.  She is currently running a program for an online Quantum Body Sculpting program.
  • How often do you consciously connect with your body in physical ways?  Not just a workout, but rather a focused sensing of your physical self interacting with the physical world.  I often play the game of “I am that also” and actually feel myself as the tree branches blowing in the wind, or the persistent steadiness of a large rock, or the muscles, tendons and joints of a working muscle.  In what ways do you play in physicality?   Please, comment below.
  • What are your ideas about the physical aspects of being in a 5D world?

 

 

First WayShower in the Playground!

“Look, there’s nobody at the playground!” I heard a child shrill with excitement as he ran to be the first one on the slide this morning.  I was sitting deep in meditation with a friend and heard this just as I was lost in the sensation of something new wanting to emerge within me.  What a great metaphor for the WayShower, to feel the excitement and joy of being the “first” (or at least at the leading edge) to play with a new level of consciousness!

I don’t have words yet for what is brewing within me around a new level of consciousness that is coming into our physical bodies.  My sense is that it has to do with a level of body consciousness that is outside (at least initially) of the mental realm, and that is somehow different than the body consciousness I’ve explored before.  I am very familiar with observing changes in the body in order to learn more about my emotions and my conditioned responses.  I play often with using intention to shift physical reality.  I’ve also experienced feeling “myself” merge completely with physicality and become pure consciousness, which then shifts physical reality, including my body.  Still, something different is brewing.

It began several weeks ago when in meditation at the same outdoor space as above I had the most phenomenal experience.  The day was extremely windy and blustering gusts were buffeting my body.  There were also two men with leaf blowers working around us, why on a windy day I can’t imagine, except that they were there to co-create with me :-).  My body became a loosely knit gathering of molecules that rode out on the sound waves of the blowers, and blew in swirls with the winds.  Then, every few minutes reconstituted itself into the collection that was my body before it took off again.  I had the very distinct feeling of what it must be like to be a sand dune, blowing, moving and reforming again and again.  It was a breathtaking experience on a number of levels, and clearly set the foundation for something new to emerge.

Additionally, I am in the midst of playing with a health condition (which is a nuisance, but not serious).  During a “remote healing session” with Wendy Down and Ken Graydon, I received clarity around how the body can play its own illusory games, a place where the ego can still play outside of the mental/spiritual bodies.  Several years ago I came face to face with the “preferred” illusory game of my soul ray (read more), and felt great sadness flow through me as my ego recognized “the game is up.”  I experienced this same level of sadness and grief as my body consciousness let go of its game of separation.

I know these two experiences are related to an evolution of the body to a higher consciousness and I am excited to learn more about what it feels like and how this evolutionary step is something different than what has come before.  I feel quite sure it’s related to our movement into the 5th Dimension.  Stay tuned, I’ll fill you in when the words appear for this state of being that wants right now to stay physical, not mental or intellectualized just yet.

 

Are YOU a Wayshower?

Are You A Wayshower?

Are You Answering (or resisting) the Call to Step Powerfully Into Your Purpose?

fire light 2 dreamstimefree_70114These are the questions my Conscious Evolutionary Circle is asking these days and we are sparking the flame within ourselves to not hold back, and to step powerfully forward into this calling.

The Angle News Network defines Wayshowers as “light workers who choose to bring their talents and gifts into the world in a larger way.  They use their leadership skills to help light workers contribute their skills to create a new world of community, harmony and equality.”

In our first couple of Circles about this subject, we looked at some common themes.

  • The importance of building our skills at living as our Essence, accepting and acknowledging ourselves as fully embodied and conscious spiritual beings.

This becomes a daily spiritual practice to be willing to consciously engage with others as our Essence, and be willing to notice when conditioned responses take over.   (See below for the opportunity to be a beta tester for an e-course to build this skill.)

  • To expand our spiritual practice for the integration of our beingness with our evolutionary impulse (read more) and allow “sacred activism” to ensue.
Andrew Harvey Institute for Sacred Activism

“A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. On the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic, and social institutions, a holy force – the power of wisdom and love in action – is born. This force I define as Sacred Activism.”      – Andrew Harvey

  • Stepping powerfully forward as a Wayshower can feel isolating and lonely.

As you lean into your calling as a Wayshower, it is more important than ever to form community with other like-minded pioneers.  You come to recognize that you are not a-l-o-n-e, but rather, a-l-l o-n-e.  You need a place to share ideas, heart-storm your next steps, and shore each other’s courage for accepting the vulnerability of bearing one’s soul as a gift to the world.  I deeply encourage you to find one or more places, face-to-face if possible, to interact with other Wayshowers.

If you are in Austin, please consider joining our MeetUp group that Circles on the third Wednesday of the month.  We are having a special “5th week” Circle on May 29, 10:45, mezzanine of Whole Foods at 6th and Lamar.

  • Begin to journal about what it might look like for you to take on a leadership role in the area of your gifts.  Who are you here to show the way to?  Describe the ideal person you want to mentor, inspire or encourage.  What leadership skills do you already have?  Where do you need to improve?  What occurs to you as your “next step?”  You don’t have to have the “whole” plan, just an idea for what is next.

Are You Using Your Full Heart’s Capacity?

by

You know how they say we only use about 10% of our mental capacity?  I think the same must hold true for our heart capacity as well.  My heart is opening, opening, opening, with this new 5D energy flowing into our world and right now I am doing my best to allow myself to utilize more of what must be a HUGE innate capacity to live from a heart centered space.

Based on my work over the past 10 years with the Core Dynamics, I am completely comfortable with the capacity to “feel everything fully.”  I also easily recognize when I am bumping up against some sort of limitation that, until I bump into its edge, I am completely clueless to.  I know I’m on this edge when I feel flooded with emotions and tears flow.  I believe tears always represent a release of resistance and usher in an opening within me.

Easter Sunday was just such a day of emotions, tears and openings for me.  It began with a bike ride where I listened to a recording of Andrew Harvey talking about “Rediscovering the Christ Path.”  It was my second time to listen to this and it continued to stir deep knowings.  The particular section so present for me yesterday was the concept of the marriage of the Divine Feminine with the Divine Masculine within me to birth the Divine Child, the incarnation on this physical planet of myself as Spirit (read more).

It is this way of being, Spirit Incarnate, or “walking Christ’s Path,” that our new 5D energy is supporting.  We can now fully experience the marriage of Heart and Head, of Mysticism and Sacred Activism, of Heaven and Earth, no longer in duality, but in communion.

Not a regular church-goer I attended Easter services with my mom at her church.  My heart soared with the opening bell choir, then continued to fly wide open as the vocal choir’s harmony hit a crescendo. During the first hymn, one familiar to me from my youth, I felt myself as a 6 year old listening to my mother and believing that she sounded like an angel.  I was flooded with love for this beautiful woman I am lucky enough to call my mother.  My heart swelled, tears pricked my eyes, and I continued to breathe deeply reassuring myself that it is possible to be with such a wide open heart, that it’s possible to access a greater percentage of my capacity without being overwhelmed by its bigness.

The sermon was given from the perspective of Mary Magdalene, what it must have been like to watch the teacher/man that she loved be humiliated, tortured and nailed to a cross.  During the description I could feel such deep grief and suffering, knowing from experience just how difficult it is to be with someone you love who is in pain.  The Divine Feminine was very present in this emotion, eyes brimming, deep breathing, feeling fully.

And then came the last song.  Again, one that I knew well from long ago Easter services that asks the question, “You ask me how I know He (I personally define Jesus as ‘Love’) lives?” and answers with, “He (Love) lives within my heart.”  My heart expanding, opening, expanding, opening, and then I saw an older man singing.  He didn’t look anything like my Dad, but there was something in his energy that so reminded me of my Dad, and then my Dad, who transitioned 8 years ago, was there.  He was beside me wrapping his arms around my mom and I, and love was pouring over us.  Okay, I lost it then.  Everyone was walking out and I started sobbing with joy and love and hope and sadness too, letting go of any resistance to opening my Heart as fully as I can today to the Love that is building and expanding on our planet.

This is not about religion, this service just created a portal for me.

  • Are you expanding your ability to feel Love, Joy, Compassion, Hope, and Gratitude at levels that might have once overwhelmed you?

  • Are you opening your eyes to the doors that are opening this Spring for you to birth the Divine Child within you?

  • Are you allowing yourself to expand access to your heart’s huge capacity to embody Heaven on Earth?

I would love to hear your stories about how YOU are shifting into greater and greater access to your heart’s ginormous capacity.

 

I am so Grateful for Guidance from my Higher Self

by

I am so grateful.

I am so grateful that I have practiced communicating with, and opening to the guidance of my Higher Self on a regular, consistent basis.

I am so grateful that I can hear, see, smell, receive, feel, touch, surrender to, and interpret this ongoing communication that flows to me unceasingly from my Higher Self.

 

If January was about sitting back (read more), then February was about bounding forward!  Things came together all of a sudden in February for my husband and I to take action on a home renovation project that has been on the vision board for years and years.

And, my Higher Self is here with me every step of the way.

 “Throw this away?  Get this shredded?”  A very certain “yes” or “no” is present.

 “Whom should I give this to?” A feeling about a specific person or organization shows up, and I’ve noticed it is appreciatively accepted.

 “Where is such and such?”  I can see clearly the box where it’s been packed, or the location in my house or car where the lost object is hiding.

These seem sort of trivial things when I write them here, but what I know is that my life flows easier, decisions seem clearer, and stress and worry are almost non-existent as I lean into this treasured skill that perhaps I had come to take for granted.

What it means is that I am actually living in each present moment these days.

I stay in the present moment even as I purge and release my hold on the past, and even as we create plans for this project’s future.  My foundation of trust in my Higher Self is being beautifully illuminated for me to see and appreciate.  What I am recognizing here is an outward manifestation of the inward embodiment of my Essence, fully allowing myself as a Spiritual Being to be doing. 

HA! This is what it looks like to “incarnate” as your Spirit.  It looks like every day life on the outside.  Yet there is this beautiful harmonic chord of peace, vibrancy, excitement, joy, happiness, curiosity, freedom, and more, on the inside.  How sweet is that?

I am so grateful. 

Ideas for Opening to the Guidance of Your Higher Self:

  • Sink your awareness into your heart space, close your eyes and take several deep breaths.  Ask any question you want to of your Higher Self and wait expectantly for an answer to “bubble up” from deep inside.  Build your foundation of trust by beginning with little, non-consequential questions such as “What is the optimal dish for me to order?” or “Which email is best for me to read first?”  Play with the results by looking for the fun synchronicities that show up when you follow this guidance, even on little things.
  • Are you interested in exploring the path of embodying your Essence?  I am looking for beta testers for my e-course, The Spiritual Explorer’s Path, that will be ready for feedback in about 4 – 6 weeks.  At the completion of this e-course you will feel your Spiritual (Higher) Self fully integrated into your physical, moment-to-moment existence.  In exchange for your thoughtful insights about this product, you can receive it for FREE by completing the form below.
