Time to Dig a Little Deeper

Time to Dig a Little Deeper

 
In my thirties I started in some personal growth classes. My big Ah moment was when I learned that my beliefs created my life. It really pissed me off because before then I believed "Life happened to me" and I wasn't in control.  If I wasn’t in control then who was?  Thoughts and beliefs that I shoved down with another donut or glass of wine or any other device I picked up to replace feeling.  I have heard myself say out loud, “I don’t have time right now to feel this emotion, I’m too busy.”  And then I forget to check back in with myself to take care of me.  My body will hold all these emotions until I am ready to deal with them.  Sometimes I hold in so much stuff I have to buy bigger clothes.
I recently told somebody “Be fully present where you need to be. It's hard to take care of what you need to do if your mind is other places and it's not fair to the person you are standing in front of.”  I have learned over the years that my words of advice to others are usually intended for myself.  So it is time to look in the mirror and dig down into those emotions I’ve shoved down.  For me to be fully present with you I need to be fully present with myself.
Ready. Set. Go!!  The time is now.  If the image in the mirror could speak, what would it say?  How long can you hold the gaze before you walk away from the image of yourself?  It is okay to feel what you feel.  It is a starting point to digging up those beliefs you’ve shoved down that hold you back from becoming the you that you prefer.  Look around you.  The whole world is your mirror.  What beliefs would you have to hold as truths to create the world you live in?  Change your thoughts, change you world.  It starts with the reflection in the mirror.
Namaste’…The light in me greets and honors the light within you.

Energies for August 
By Daniele DeVoe, Channel and Healer
 
The Rune for August is: Eihwaz – Defense, Avertive Powers
 
It has long been taught in the great mystery schools of our world that the last thing to go before enlightenment is judgment. July was exciting and expansive because of its great portal into the next dimensions… and now August asks us all to be aware of anything and everything which feels like an obstacle, a stress… a hindrance in our passage into what has been promised…
 
And once we are aware of these obstructions, what should we do with them? Well, don’t offer them resistance by actively pushing them away… because it is absolutely true that what you resist persists… because as you resist, you focus your attention quite powerfully on the problem!
So, with every impediment, offer gratitude and appreciation for the wisdom available from that issue. And then pivot and contemplate your joy, your dream, even your love…
Eihwaz reminds us that the best defense is a good offense… and the best offense is love!
(Reference book: The Book of Runes, by Ralph Blum
The card from The Faeries' Oracle, by Brian Froud for August is: The Faun (Reversed)
Gaia wants our participation and our help… now… The Faun card is all about nature and our appreciation of her partnership in our lives. The Faun card (reversed) is calling for our help and our active, effective and perpetual assistance for Gaia’s protection and her ascension.
We truly are partners with Gaia, just as we are partners with each other and All That Is… And it would be remarkably callous to claim that all is well in this present dimension…
The Faun card (reversed) invites us to work in the 3D & 4D to clean up our mess and to go to the 5D in meditation and invite that future in which all is well to flow into our present and help heal the mess.
Sounds like August will be a good month to get to work! (If you haven’t already begun!)
Namasté, dear Lightworkers!
Daniele

Hello My Fellow Rockhounds
 
How’s life on your piece of the planet?  Since the beginning of the shift (and make no mistake the shift has begun), we’ve all found ourselves dancing to a totally new kind of music.  Between all the cleansing, releasing, emerging and aligning I have become very burnt toast!  But as we all know by talking to friends and relatives, none of us has gone through these changes in the same way.   Sooo, what stone would be good for all of us? Chrysocolla.   This little blue or green darling is one of the most tranquil and supportive stones there is.  
 
 
How many of you have loved ones giving you a ration of attitude about your new way of living?  I’ll help you to communicate clearly and honestly.  I draw off negativity of any kind.  Best of all I help you to maintain your serenity when speaking to the brick wall. I will help you to call upon and channel all that inner strength you’ve pushed done so deep.  I am a great stone for calming the home environment.   Lay down flat on the floor and place apiece of me on your pelvic bone and on the floor right above your crown chakra and experience the softest most loving realignment and charging of your chakras.  MMMM, better than chocolate.  People been sucking you dry through the solar plexus and then placing their junk inside for you to take care of! Nah ahh. 
 
Ain’t happening.  Place a piece of me over your solar plexus and I will draw ever bit of it out.    For ease in the emotions, heartache, guilt and self destruction place me over the heart and let yourself heal.  It will simply release you without getting caught up in judgment or anger.   And after all of that I can take you into a peaceful nights rest.  (Don’t use the same piece of me from your heart to put you to sleep until it’s been cleansed.)   If you are trying to become pregnant, I’m a very gooood stone to have close to you.  There’s not enough room here to tell you all of my great points.  So look me up see what else I have to offer.   You will love me almost as much as I love you.                                    
 Until next time - Be well, fly far!
Namasté

Missy’s Pick for August:
 Need an answer or a fresh perspective on your situation? 
 Inquiring minds…meet a new ally - The Circle - A Guide for the Inner Explorer.
The set contains:  54 Colorful Circle Gems with a velvet drawstring bag, along with a spiral bound guidebook and a Circle Journal to record your readings.
 
Everyone trying it out at the store seemed very excited and impressed with their results, although I must admit I was skeptical of such a simple tool.  Was this a next generation of “Magic 8 Ball” with a stock set of pat answers?  What I found was just the opposite! 
It’s like taking your inquiry and putting it into a kaleidoscope, then watching it transform in front of your eyes.  You literally create an opening with the circle layout and guidebook wisdom for a new perspective to emerge. 
I found it practical and powerful, with no special knowledge required, making it perfect for the new or experienced “explorer”.  It truly is an experience - so don’t take my word for it, come in and see for yourself!
You can find The Circle in the New Arrivals section at the Higher Self for your in-joyment and enlightenment.  Click here to purchase online.

My GRATITUDE EXPERIMENT
 
By Jennifer Tavana, Channel/Medium, Hypnotherapist
 
This past week I decided to reach into my ‘technique tool belt’ and try something that I actually abandoned a while back…the idea of focusing on being grateful to raise my vibrations, shift my focus and redirect my energy.  I’m not sure what possessed me to go there, but the idea popped into my head on a Sunday night and I decided to focus on gratitude for the next 7 days and see what happens.
The idea behind gratitude, or at least my perception of it, is that the Law of Attraction gives you back what you send out.  Most people find understanding and working with the Law of Attraction difficult (and frustrating) because we often experience things that we do not think we want.  But the foundation behind focusing on what you are grateful for is rooted in the idea that the more you focus on something, the more of you get!  And making a conscious effort to focus on all that you have that you love and appreciate is “supposed” to help you get more of what you love and appreciate.
Well, I am 6 days into my Gratitude Experiment, and I have to say that I have had a fantastic week!  The first two days were a breeze…Click here for more

I "C" You
 
 
Conflict, crises, confusion, catastrophes, calamities, and change. We are all in a C (sea) of amazing and fascinating upheaval! I don't know anyone who isn't at best-juggling the present events in their lives, or at worst - appearing to be drowning in the events that seem to be just happening to them.
 
 
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just go back to how it used to be. Never mind that we were complaining and unhappy with the events we didn't prefer happening to us, it just seemed to be at a little slower pace, it was easier to handle, and we survived doing what needed to be done. In other words, we have selective memories about the past.

Well, it's not going to happen. We are all in full speed ahead! The lessons we were taking our good ol' sweet time about learning have run out of patience with us, time has sped up, and it is now or never.  Click here for more.
