Thought For Today, October 18, 2020

The energy of this past week has been very powerful. Are you feeling it? Me: third-eye headache, hips hurting, allergies, and not sleeping well. Plus, I can feel the different energies coming down from above. Are you experiencing symptoms? Rest as you need to, eat what your body requires, drink lots of water and just go easy on yourself. These are all Ascension symptoms. You are not sick and you are not losing your mind.

Things are going to be crazy for awhile. It is important to stay centered within and holding as much higher Light as you can. You can do this through meditation, by envisioning pure white Light coming down into you from the Universe. If you don’t, you will make yourself fearful and slightly nutty from outside events.

The Matrix, the illusion we have been living in, is breaking apart. The mind control we have been fed is getting released from our physical bodies. If you think you have been living a good life, just wait, it’s going to get even better.

The Age of Aquarius, the new Golden Age, arrives on December 21st. This is our new beginning, the opportunity to create the life of our dreams. Hold the Light within you and envision a beautiful future.

Are You A Good Witch or A Bad Witch?

As we watch this crazy battle of good vs evil being played out across the world’s stage, it’s difficult to determine what is good or evil, truth or fiction, real or false. What you think is real might not be, due to the massive use of blue screen televising, AI, and edited footage.  Maybe, even I am a robot.  Since I am eating a cookie and drinking coffee as I type, I assure you I am not.  (Double chocolate chip, by the way.)

First of all, listen to your heart and your gut.  How does something you read or hear feel to you?  Does it feel positive and uplifting?  Is your gut calm?  All information has an energetic footprint, as does our body.  If something doesn’t resonate with you, you will feel off, maybe agitated or even ill.  Your heart and gut are very powerful discernment tools to help you determine what is best for you.  It is completely individual and unique.  My truth might not resonate with you, and your truth might not resonate with anyone else.  It is ALWAYS about HOW it makes YOU FEEL.

What if you’re not sure, or afraid of making a bad choice?  Remember, choices can be changed at any time.  If you are not sure about someone or something, look for consistencies.

Bad or evil people will promote fear messages – “if you don’t do X, you will suffer”.  Will often use demeaning or back-handed messages – “you really shouldn’t wear pencil skirts, and anyway, they send the wrong message”.  (A good friend will take the pencil skirt and hand you a much nicer style along with a real compliment.)  Bad people will come back at you, if you protest their message, with “I was only joking” or something similar.  Fear and demeaning messages are how they gain control of you, or program you into submission.  They will be consistent, and even relentless, eventually creating a low self-esteem belief system within you.  They rarely ever do anything for the greater good, even when it appears that way.  “I’m donating $XXX to this organization”, and if you investigate that organization you will find they are heavily invested in it or have some other way of benefitting from that.  Evil people hoard money and their sole purpose of getting it is from using other people to make it for them or as simple as cutting other family members out of wills and estates.

Where they fool you into thinking they are good, is through their subtle manipulations.  Always, always keep in mind that a person will tell you exactly WHO they are in the first moment you meet them.  If your first encounter makes you feel uncomfortable, uneasy, or even queasy, Do Not forget this.  If you don’t pay attention, and keep going back for more, you will be sucked into their power game.  It’s always about power and control.  The more evil they are, the more power behind the words.  “If you think it’s bad now, and you do XXX, it’s going to get a whole lot worse [for you]”.  Those seemingly subtle threats are REAL.

Okay, so now that I’ve frightened the sh*t out of you, I’ll move on to good people.

Good and Light people will be positive and supporting.  When you are around them, you feel calm and at ease.  If a good person has a bad day, or does something bad, it’s not very often and they will typically tell you they are sorry or that they are bad company that day.  Even if there are bad events happening, they will do or say something to lift your spirits.  Good people often do nice things for others.  They typically don’t hype the things they do.  They are sometimes the brunt of bad people’s messages or comments, so you need to look into their lives to find the positive actions.  Bad people hate good people so they love to tear them down and make them look bad to you.  Good people aren’t without their faults and might come across as overbearing.  It’s not because they want to control you, it’s that they want you to have a better life and will tell you how to do that.  Good people will work for their money, but they aren’t afraid of sharing it with others because they know they will always have what they need.

In either case, it is important to watch for consistent messages and behaviors.  With each repetition, check in with your heart and gut and evaluate your feelings.  Trust those feelings, not just what someone else tells you.

We are living through a massive spiritual battle right now and it is difficult to discern the truth, much less understand what is happening.  This battle has been foretold for centuries and it must play out to conclusion.  We are moving into a better place and the Light has already won.  We are watching a movie (consider viewing “The Matrix”) and feeling the need to stuff ourselves with popcorn to survive.  In some ways, I think that the Divine Creator is putting out Its own psy-ops (psychological operation) on the human collective.  The evil is going away, but we have to see it and hear it in all its very worst before we can fully accept how bad it is.  If we didn’t, and there was the slightest little doubt that “maybe some of them aren’t so bad”, the evil would continue to plague us and then we’d have to do this all over again.  I don’t know about you, but once around is too f*cking much for me.

Hold The Light

I needn’t have to tell you how crazy things are.  The THING is still an issue, we’ve witnessed the awful destruction of a beautiful human’s life, which has escalated into riots, and 6 planets are in retrograde this month.  Including my dear little friend Mercury, who plans on garbling the communication even more.  It’s no wonder we are all feeling a little crabby and out-of-sorts.

You must Hold The Light.

It’s tough when negativity is beating at you every day.  Many of you are still out of work and struggling.  Those who are back at work are making up for lost time and long for the days when they could sleep in.  Signs everywhere telling you what you can and can’t do and where you need to be.  News channels incessantly blathering about gloom and doom.  I think we need to mask all news media and prevent them from speaking.

The Light will overcome the Dark, but you must Hold The Light.  By that, I mean that you must hunker down within yourself and call down the brilliant and powerful energies from the Universe.  Call down the Angels.  Call down the Ascended Masters.  Call down all the Higher Dimensional Beings available to help each and every one of us from falling into negativity.  Ask them to help you.

Focus intently on what you wish to see in your life.  Powerful manifestation is available to all of us, so use it wisely.  Use your imagination to place a video screen out in front of you.  Project onto it your skills, your desires, your joy for the life you want to live.  See it like a movie with you as the starring role and write the story.

Hold that vision clear and keep your thoughts directed towards it.  You are capable of bringing this into physical reality.

Stay away from mainstream media as much as possible.  It is filled with conflicting information and enough negative hype to start its own fire.  Instead, go out in nature even if for five minutes.  Suck in some fresh air, let the sun soak into your skin and listen to the birdsongs.  Take a moment to sit and relax.  Nap or sleep.  Eat well.  And laugh.

The more of us who keep our inner light shining bright, the more the negative energy recedes and eventually dissolves until there will be no more dark.  Imagine what a life filled with joy, cooperation, harmony and abundance looks like.  Make it so.

The Ascension

ascension-1568162_1920

Easter, or Pascha is Sunday April 12th and will be celebrate by millions, most likely at home in a virtual gathering.  Whether it is Passover or of Christ rising from death, a Pagan ritual, or any other significant meaning, it is the celebration of life defeating death.  In Christian terms, it is Jesus teaching us that we are more than our physical bodies.

I won’t go into a theological discussion of this ritual, but the main theme is birth or rebirth.  There is really no coincidence that the current state of the planet happens to be at a peak during this Easter season.

Every living thing on this planet is going through rebirth, or an ascension into a higher dimension.  Our DNA, our cellular structure, our energetic bodies are going through an upgrade. Sort of like going from a four-cylinder engine to a high-performance racing version in one day.  All of us.  At the same time.  Believe it or not, the Universe is trying to make this a little easier by forcing us to stay home.   A little test drive, so to speak.

We aren’t getting a choice in this upgrade, even if you think you can resist.  “What you resist, persists”, as the saying goes.  The Lightworkers are actively working the collective energy patterns to help everyone assimilate the change.  Those who are enlightened, but not active Lightworkers, have already made adjustments to their lives and are just moving through the changes.  Then there is the group who is fighting it every day, thinking that life will just go back to the way it was.  It won’t.  But it will be better than it was.  They’ll suffer and maybe become ill, then blame it all on the government or some such.  But they will still change.  Then there are the wonderfully blessed souls who made the soul agreement to become violently ill and pass on.  These beautiful ones have agreed to absorb the grief and negativity in their corner of the planet and take it with them into death, in order to rapidly shift the energy.  I hope their spiritual rewards are truly wonderful.

If I’ve managed to keep your attention this far, you might be wondering what to do.  Maybe you already know, but are reading along for validation.  Look to this time of isolation for the answers.  We are being given the gift of “pause and reset”.  Dig into your heart and soul and ask yourself what matters and how you want to live.  What are you doing without that no longer matters?  Has your life suddenly become less burdensome by staying at home?  Do you have more time for your family? Have you discovered time to follow your passions?  What changes are being made in your life – might there be something better?  Creativity is being heightened now; what does this mean for you?  Now is your opportunity to design or refine your life path.  Envision what it will look like and you will manifest it into being through guided action steps.

For those of you ready for the next step; look to spiritual teachers for information.  Many of the authors on Hay House publishing have websites with spiritual practices.  Try meditation for starters.  If you have studied the Chakra body, then begin to work through the fifth dimensional version, because this is what is being re-wired within you.  It is seriously more powerful than what was.  The energy to be developed, or ascended, is what will lead you through the planetary changes.  You will need to work on releasing old beliefs, grief, negativity to move into ascension.  The following is a brief explanation of your new energetic body.

The Twelve Chakra System:

Eighteen inches above your head is the Stellar Gateway.  It vibrates gold and is the receiver of all information from the Creator or All That is.

Six inches above your head is the Soul Star, which vibrates magenta.  It carries the blueprint for all your spiritual gifts, in all your lifetimes.

The Causal is offset to the rear of your head.  It connects us to the entire Angelic realm and vibrates moon white.

The Crown Chakra is the top of your head and is the connection to your Higher Self, which is a receiver for the upper three.  Formerly violet, it now vibrates liquid gold.

The Third Eye is in your forehead.  The vibration has changed from indigo to emerald crystal.  Your Crown and Third Eye have integrated their energy through the pineal gland.  It is our point of manifestation.  “As Above, So Below”; or what you envision becomes your reality.  Once this is activated, manifestation is more powerful than ever.

The Throat Chakra has intensified its blue color and takes the vibration of our thoughts into words.  It is very powerful.

The Heart Chakra in the center of your chest and has expanded to the width of your shoulders.  It is resembles a flower and has 33 petals, each with their own heart lesson.  The energy has shifted from green to white, and radiates the most powerful vibration of all: Love.

The Solar Plexus is between your ribs and navel.  It has shifted from yellow to bright gold.  I have always referred to this as “your inner bullsh*t detector”, because it acts as a sensory device for your surroundings.

The Naval Chakra is newly formed, vibrating bright orange.  This is the connection between you and all other life forms on the planet, helping you to create a cooperative society.  Sharing and caring will be the new norms.

The Sacral Chakra has changed from orange to bright pink.  Pink has always been associated with love, so the energy shift is crucial for this chakra.  All our emotional sh*t is carried here, and is totally being affected by our ascension.  Clearing out the old, the negative thoughts and beliefs, is very important during this pause and reset.  Many will struggle, but an enormous amount of support is available.  If you can work through your inner enemies during this time, the transition will be less stressful.

The red Root Chakra is now the shining platinum Base Chakra.  The energy is very powerful and establishes your presence on Earth as: I AM.

About twelve inches below your feet is the Earth Star, your grounding to the Earth.  Once you have made this connection, you will continuously stay grounded.  Your soul path information is stored here.

Take time during your meditations and start to connect with each Chakra.  Focus on them individually and gain insight to their messages and energy shifts.  Fully visualize their new form and allow them to support your physical body.  As you work through them, they will connect and begin your ascension into a fifth dimensional being.

There is nothing about this to be frightened of.  Nor is there anything to resist.  You are awakening to a higher vibrational self.  This energy will fill you with light, love, contentment, peace and joy.  Can there be anything better than that?

Reflection

I’ve spent most of this last week in reflection, meditation, checking in with the virtual Lightworker community and asking the Universe for guidance. It has been an overflow of enlightenment, as well as information, so I’m going to do a series of articles to address different aspects of our global situation.

If you are a Lightworker, you most likely already know how you can support this planet. If you think you might be a Lightworker, it is time to step aboard as we need all hands on deck to right this world. If you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about or think I’m nutty, that’s okay, I respect whatever method you are using to make sense of this or just stay safe.

We are going through an ascension in energy, that began December 12, 2012. It is a twenty-year process, and we are nearing the middle, and so far not many have noticed. Thus, the grand sh*tshow that is getting everyone’s attention.

We have long been operating in the lower frequency of energy patterns, the place where negativity has a home. Fear, anger, sadness, rage and an endless amount of stuffed-down emotions have created a whirling storm of negativity. You have only to hang out on social media to figure that one out. This cloud of negativity has covered many dark aspects of society: bullying, incest, rape, child abuse, torture, sex trafficking, the list goes on. But the Light of the Universe is far more powerful and is determined to bring about this ascension, and for quite some time we have seen those who hover in the fringes brought to justice. If the Universe wants something out of your life, it gets it done.

What is this ascension of energy? Aside from our physical body, we have an energetic body with 7 spinning wheels called chakras. Science has demonstrated that we are made of electromagnetic energy that is a constantly changing form. Chakras govern different areas of our body and we can improve our well-being by maintaining them. Sort of like maintaining the engine in your car. This energy is capable of functioning at a higher frequency and is beneficial to us if we learn how to tune into it. From the time of 12/12/2012, our bodies are making an automatic shift to this higher frequency, but not everyone is ready for this. Thus the grand sh*tshow.

Sometimes the only way to get someone’s attention is to create a crisis of major proportions.

Our world has gotten a little too caught up in running. We run here, we run there and never get anyplace meaningful. We turn over all our important tasks to technology and forget how to read a story to our children. Sorry, but Alexa is not a substitute. Most of us chase money in jobs we hate. We stuff ourselves with food, drink and substances to avoid coming to terms with the shadows in our souls. We send hate mail through social media, even if we don’t really know why, but just because someone else is doing it. We’ve sold our souls to disconnection, when we can’t even connect within our hearts.

The time to make changes has thumped us right in the chest. Many people are sequestered at home, either ill, expecting to be ill or just trying to make the best of the situation. Use this time to look within yourself and survey your surroundings. Are you living your life purpose or are you just existing? Is it time to make a change in your job and pursue something that gives you meaning? Are you overburdened by your housing? Do you have family or friends who continuously take-take-take and never give anything back? Is your relationship sucking you into a deep, dark hole? This is the negativity that is staring you right in the face. What changes to you need to make?

Or, what changes have you already made?

If you are living your life purpose, then you will be able to ride out this wave and come out stronger and better than you can even imagine. If you are a Lightworker, then your prayers, your healing energy, your uplifting thoughts will radiate outward like the Sun coming up on a Summer morning.

The planet is healing, and it will change and shift into a higher energy even if you are not ready. Why not be part of the Light and transformation? Hold the energy of Love and Healing deep within your heart, because that is all that is really asked of you by the Universe.

Still Loving You

It’s the day after Valentine’s. You might still be digesting last night’s big dinner or in a coma from too much chocolate. Maybe your eyes are still sparkling like the sparkly gift you received. Or maybe you are still in bed and . . . I don’t really want to know. The hearts and farts are wilting and fading, and life is back to normal. Maybe it is not so normal if you and your bae decided to call it quits. Remember, tomorrow begins Mercury in Retrograde, which is notorious for bringing back exes and regrets.

But, are you remembering yesterday’s message? The one that says to love yourself first? It is very easy to follow when you are surrounded by hearts and other symbols of love. Sure, I can do that as you look in the mirror and mumble, “I love you”. Stop right there. The day after Valentine’s is not when you go back to diminishing yourself. Loving yourself inside and out is an everyday practice. You will never be able to love unconditionally if you don’t do it within.

Love. Your. Self.

I repeat: Love Your Self.

Love your sh*t too. I am using the song “Still Loving You” by the Scorpions (1984, “Love At First Sting”, Universal Records), because heavy metal and hard rock music is typically about great love or great angst. I love this type of music and you will find references all throughout my blog, because it’s all about loving your sh*t. Another example of this is “The Unforgiven” by Metallica (1991, “Metallica”, Elektra Records), telling of the struggle of someone being subjugated by others. Talk about loving your sh*t!

We are here on a journey to discover, experience, grow our spirit and find love within ourselves. Loving yourself generates boundaries that help you recognize when someone or something isn’t good for you. Loving yourself naturally shows you how to care for your mind, body and soul. Loving yourself honors your needs and interests. Loving yourself fills you full of love so that you always have enough love to give to others. Loving yourself is not selfish unless it includes harming or at the expense of others. That is not loving yourself.

Valentine’s Day might be over, but loving yourself never ends.

Ratatouille

cheese-4611388_1920

Whether it be a delicious French country dish made from harvesting late summer vegetables, or the animated film centered around a rodent gourmand who dazzles a restaurant critic with the same dish, ratatouille involves nourishing our soul.

In the Chinese calendar, we are on the verge of the Year of the Metal Rat. These zodiac Rats are know for their industrious nature, and the ability to gather sustenance and prosperity and tuck it away much like the harvesting of late summer vegetables.

I am a Metal Rat and fit that profile quite well. Coincidentally, I am petite and small-boned and quite adept at hiding in corners. You will often find me there, worrying and working myself to the bone, typical behavior of the first sign in the Chinese Zodiac. Although it might not be listed in this lucky sign’s traits, I do love me some metal music.

If you are a fellow Metal Rat, it is our year to shine. Metal is a conductive energy, so whatever we touch will have powerful energy behind it. Be careful and vigilant where you focus your thoughts and tasks, you don’t want to waste that power down the wrong path or in too much worry. I consider it quite auspicious that I am about to retire and making plans to building the next chapter in my life’s story. My efforts have been in the left-brained, logical world for many a year, so I am gearing up to give my right-brain, creative side some release. #Create!!

Even if you are not a fellow – ahem – rodent, it is a potent year for shoring up your resources. Invest wisely, beautify your nest and fill your coffers with that which sustains your life. The little rat is a workaholic worrier, always afraid there is never enough financial abundance, yet loves practical luxury. That little nest will always be stylish and those little feet shod in beautifully made shoes. The task at hand for the rat, is that in order to avoid excessive worry about money is to not overspend. Go green, recycle, upcycle, my little friends, and don’t overlook secondhand and consignment shopping. I have just discovered this market, and have scored some lovely luxury items at minimal cost. Minnie Mouse understands that you can look fabulous and be frugal at the same time.

Don’t neglect the inside, while covering up the outside. An overload of chemicals will keep you feeling off, bloated, itchy and overweight. Chemicals are everywhere and in most everything, and our bodies have difficulty in eliminating them. Think of your intestines and skin as a filtering system, and drink pure filtered water every day. Eat organic, non-GMO food. Rats have thin skin and are susceptible to the “itchies” and you don’t want to look like that. This is going to be a big year and you want to keep your body in as good a condition as possible so you have the energy to give it your best. Not that you shouldn’t do that any other year.

Remember to be a little social too, my fellow Rats, all work and no play is unhealthy. Our workaholic tendencies cause us to put all our duties before play, and usually there isn’t enough time nor energy left for play. Yes, I know you want to put the laundry away before going to the party, but no one has ever died from not having folded towels. A much refreshed you is a much happier you.

Come out of the corners, little Rats, dream big and put those plans into action. Be sure to join those celebratory parties when you meet a milestone. #wineandcheese

PS. I’ve also been told that rats make good pets.
