Last month I went to an intensive 3 day workshop.  It was 13 hour long days where I had the opportunity to stand in the middle of my garbage and really look at who I was being in the world.  I wasn’t very impressed.  Somewhere along the way I started believing those nasty little thoughts that invaded my mind as being truth.  I had become withdrawn and felt very alone.

 

What I remembered is that we live in a world of make-believe.  We have tapes running through our heads and use them to judge everything that happens.  Is this right/wrong, agree/disagree, true/false, good/bad, what’s in it for me/them.  Something happens and in a split second we have a thought about what it means and this becomes our truth.  Or is it?  If we examine how we feel about a situation and ask the question “What did I make it mean about me and is this the truth?” it might just shift how we feel about ourselves.  Somewhere in our past we have made decisions about ourselves and hold them as truths.  Are they really or did we just make them up?  How exhausting life can be when we are always trying to compensate for these lies we tell ourselves.

      

Life is empty and meaningless and in the center of that I get to create whatever I choose.  I feel like I can breathe again.  I love you and I am grateful for the opportunity to be here for you.      

 

Many Blessings with Love, Light and Hope,

Carol

The Rune for February is: Uruz: Strength

This month’s rune reminds us of one of the most important attributes needed to travel the corridors of change and handle our planet’s present chaos joyfully. Strength is not only available but it has been developed by every human now living… maybe not in this present lifetime… maybe not even in this present dimension… but certainly somewhere, sometime, somehow…

And strength comes from courage, training, focus, flexibility and compassion. February will be a wonderful month to contemplate each of these aspects and nurture what is naturally strong for you while developing what might be weak.

Most important to your/our strength is your/our ability to love… both ourselves and all others. Let the five attributes of strength teach you the single unifying energy of unconditional love and you will have found what most souls are seeking… You will have found your enlightenment and with it the strength to live every moment of your life as a spiritual being.

Strength… what a wonderful rune to inspire us in this final full month of winter!

(Reference book: The Book of Runes, by Ralph Blum

The card from The Faeries' Oracle, by Brian Froud for February is: The Friends

And as you develop your strength, don't be surprised if you magnetize strong friends to you! And haven't you been dreaming of exactly that? Haven't you hungered for the company of people with vibrant, life fulfilling energy? Haven’t you wanted to be part of a world of human partners (friends) who work, play and love tirelessly and for the highest and best good of all?

 Friends needn't be defined only as your ‘nearby buddies’… friends are also beings (human and otherwise) of similar resonance. If you truly understand the Law of Attraction you will realize that you are constantly pulling friends to you… And as your frequency aligns with theirs, does it bless them?

February is traditionally the month of love… Perhaps this month’s card is trying to encourage us to spread our love… our unconditional love and friendship… a bit wider and more freely than in the past. What do you think?

Daniele and her Angelic Guide, Sarrinn, offer Channeled Readings and Divine Grace Healing to help you live your most joy-filled dreams now. Also: Divine Grace Reiki, Deeksha, Hypnosis, monthly articles in Sedona Journal, classes and more…

  Welcome Earth Brothers and Sisters

 

We of the stone kingdom see many exciting changes and new beginnings for all of you!  We thought long and hard about this month’s stone of assistance.  We wanted one that was both strong and nurturing.  One that would not only show you what you no longer needed to tie yourself to but also give you the strength  and insight to trust yourself and your choices in this time of letting go.  As we grow and evolve there will come times when things we’ve done, people we cared for no longer fit us as they once did.  Now if they were a size seven jeans that was causing you to pass out every time you stood up, you’d quickly replace them with a size 9 take a deep breath and go on about your business.  You don’t beat yourself to death over it. But let a relationship {that’s been slowly sending you around the bend} come to an end a suddenly your Attila the Hun.  It’s all your fault, you can’t do anything right.  Wrong!  Instead of so much drama, instead of believing one or either of you is wrong, simply see it as both of you evolving into who and what you truly are now.

 

 

To help you with this we send you our sister PETALITE!  She is known as the angel stone, a very pure and high vibration. She is really useful for ancestral and family healing (time let it go people).   It can help you reach as far back in time as you need to finally and fully release the pattern that keeps you on this rollercoaster of no growth and no change.  If you’re just beginning your search it provides a safe and clear environment for you to connect at the highest spiritual levels.  It calms your aura and opens your throat center so all that must be said comes out clear and in the highest levels of love and light. She’ll clear that nasty karma sticking to your heart, head or aura.  During tie cutting ceremonies it helps to bring out the higher self of all parties and neutralizes any manipulation on either parties’ part.  Physically she is extremely helpful in aids treatment and cancer patients.  Pink Petalite clears the heart meridian of old and new emotional baggage while also strengthening the emotional body and releasing fear and worry.  So please don’t struggle alone.   Let Petalite give you all the strength and courage you need to live this wonderful bright new life.

 

Namaste'  In light and love we hold you.

 What  about Death?

 

By Marilyn Raffale, Channel & Intuitive Energy Healing

That which we call death is simply a transition from the three dimensional consciousness of body, into a consciousness of our light body; always taking with us our attained state of consciousness.  It is actually easier to see the bigger picture while on the other side without the veils of illusion that overshadow the heavy energy of the third dimension which is governed by a sense of duality and separation.  It is only the three dimensional concept of body we leave behind, whereas our Light body is ever present and always with us.

Our very essence is spirit and therefore we are actually more “home” on the other side than on earth.  Three dimensional earth is a microcosm of the macrocosm, meaning that what we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell during our incarnations on earth, are our concepts of those spiritual ideas or the reality behind the images.

Because of our inability to “see” the other side with our physical eyes, we have learned to fear it and to see the death experience as the end of all good things –our very life.  As we move into a truer sense of whom and what we are, we begin to lose that fear.  Death no longer constitutes an ending, but only a new phase of the infinite life we are.

              "Look! Up in the air! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an Orb!!!

 

Yes, folks everywhere are reporting the appearance of Orbs in their digital photographs, along with questions about what they mean for us.  Well, Diana Cooper and Kathy Crosswell have written two books and created a set of cards to address this exciting phenomenon and allow us to connect with the beautiful energy of the Orbs and raise our consciousness.

 

The books currently available are :  "Enlightenment through Orbs" and "Ascension through Orbs" along with a set of "Orbs Cards" available separately.  I purchased the cards to be able to work more closely with the Orb photos without cutting up my book!

 

 

The information Diana and Kathy have been guided to share is that the colored round, concave, hexagonal and elongated shapes that appear in the photographs are spiritual beings appearing as Orbs.  "These include angels, archangels, ascended masters, unicorns and elementals.  Each one appears to tell a story - to help you on your spiritual pathway and evolution."

 

In "Ascension through Orbs" Diana states, "Most important of all we show you certain Orbs which will accelerate your spiritual growth and ascension.  Every Orb in this book offers an activation and access to higher energies."  She also encourages us to take our own digital photos of Orbs by opening your heart and calling in the angels.  Ready, Set, Click!

 

 

Along with 48 full color Orb photos, included in the book is an overview of Ascension, a detailed description of the Archangels and Ascended Masters, and meditations with the Orbs as well as exercises to accelerate your path to ascension. 

 

I've been working with the Ascension book and cards for several weeks and have found the quality of the Orbs' energies inspiring and supportive of the Ascension process.

  

My Tip :    

If you do readings for yourself with tarot or oracle cards, ( I've been using the Medicine Woman Tarot by Carol Bridges or the Mermaids and Dolphins Oracle by Doreen Virtue.) you may want to try selecting cards from the Orbs deck that you feel support the message from the cards in your reading.

 

I find that placing the selected cards from both decks next to your bed, or in a sacred space of your choosing, creates a powerful synergy that can carry over into your Meditation or Dreamtime.  Remember to keep a notebook close by to record your results!  

 

So, if you are drawn to the Angelic energies, or have a passion for Ascension teachings, this is a book and card deck for you!  You can find them in the 'New Arrivals' section at the Higher Self.  May the Orbs be with you! 

 

Namaste'

Every person, at any given time, has a multitude of thoughts running through their mind.  These thoughts range from things that need to be done today, tomorrow, next week (and so on) as well as thoughts about things that have happened, concerns, and thoughts about how feelings, etc. 

It is very easy to get overwhelmed not only by obligations, goals and tasks, but also by the number of thoughts that your “mind” is holding on to.  Think of your mind as a warehouse, and in it is stored priorities and all things related to those priorities.  Every time something new comes to your attention that you feel is important to you, it is like throwing several more boxes (thoughts) into the warehouse…over time, that warehouse becomes cluttered and chaotic.  This is what typically happens with our thoughts if we are not taught how to manage them (and let’s face it, most of us were not taught this skill).

Take time every week or so to make a list ON PAPER of what you want to accomplish, focus on or achieve. It can be things that you want to get done that day, as well as this week, next week or even over the course of a few months.  You can list them in order of priority of you want to, but the important thing to do is get it out of your head! 

 

This is such an easy trick to quieting your mind and gaining clarity and focus so that the energy that you put forth can have more productive results.  Of course there aren’t really any “guys” in your head but there might as well be because all of your thoughts act as independent expressions of  you!  Oh, and as you get one thing on the list done, be sure to check it off so that you can allow your mind to “let it go”.

By Ricki Blanchard

 

When I was young, I was taught to talk. Then I was taught how to talk. Respectfully, politely, using the proper volume, and never speaking in anger. The hardest part was using the proper "tone-of-voice." Still is, sometimes.

Fear of saying the wrong words in the wrong tone-of-voice too softly or too loudly literally kept my mouth shut. Of course, I didn't understand about body language yet, so when I got "How dare you look at me like that" it was as though my mind had been read, my thoughts heard, in, of course, the wrong tone-of-voice. Oh, the guilt of it all!

Without being aware of what I was doing, I began talking less and being careful not to show emotions when I did. To do that, I had to suppress my feelings and don a magical mask that knew how to change to keep the other person comfortable.

These were not conscious choices my young self was making. They were unconscious, mechanical choices made to protect and assure survival.

As I write, I can see how this may be interpreted as very dramatic and leaves the reader to imagine how awful my growing up years were, or compare my past to their past and think of me as a cry baby. Interpretation of what is said and what is written is the key.
