Shine Bright

If you’ve been hiding in the closet it’s time to come out and shine. You are here to create, you are here to be powerful, you are here to shine your light into the world and this is the time to move out from behind, to stop hiding behind the wall of fear, to be empowered and shine.

Connecting With my Higher Self

I’m taking a class with Victoria Smith, “Softly Wild” and I have to say – I’m in love.

“For this week we are exploring a variety of “Softly Wild” practices for tuning in to our inner wisdom and intuition as well as connecting with Nature’s mysteries wisdom and healing energies.”

We’re to pick an oracle card everyday this week and tune into it’s symbols and meaning intuitively, not looking at the guidebook first. It’s really a great way of opening up to your inner self and developing a richer connection. I’m really connecting with my Higher Self in a deeper and greater way by allowing the meaning of the card to come forward from within, letting my intuition reveal the cards message. Since I’m new to this there are still times, like today, that I had to look up the meaning of the card to get it.

What I’ve been doing is, after I sit with the card and contemplate on the gift of its message, I’ll look up the spiritual meaning of any animal that is in the picture, any flower that I can identify, and any color that really sticks out for me. I also will look up the meaning of any numbers that appear on the card. These cards bring forth so much wisdom.

For today’s exploration, along with choosing our daily oracle card, we are also to work with nature’s energies. Connect with plants, flowers, crystals, whatever calls to us.

What popped into my head right away is Rose Quartz. Right now I need the healing energies this beautiful crystal offers. And the card that came up is “Compass,” in the reversed position from The Enchanted Map deck, by Colette Baron-Reid. I don’t know why all the cards I’ve been pulling lately have come in reversed position.

This card is telling me to get back to focusing on Spirit. That I’m off course and need to be pointing to True North. So true. I’ve been focused for the past two weeks especially, on a health issue, I’m getting more headaches than usual and now am really concerned, but I need to realign and refocus on my Higher Self.

What a gift both hold for me. Thank you Universe.

Do you like to work with Oracle cards, Tarot cards, crystals, I invite you to please share your experiences, love to hear from you.

Many Blessings

Entering a New Phase

I am here.

I am present.

I am open.

I am ready.

~ Janet Conner

I have entered a new phase in my life.

A higher level of consciousness.

I’m letting go and trusting in the Mystery.

I’m not real steady here yet, old habits, old thoughts and old fears keep on showing up and I have to be conscious of them and weed them out.

Form and Formless by Krystle Smith

I don’t know what’s waiting for me in this new phase, this new higher consciousness, but what I know for sure is that I have to embrace it fully and completely, honor it and step into it with courage and conviction and stand in my power – be in the knowing that this new journey that is unfolding its glorious path right in front of my eyes, is exactly where I need to be right now.

I’m being given exactly what I need on this new path to reach a deeper knowing. The people that appear on my path, the partnerships I’m forming, the lessons, the messages from Spirit guides, animal guides, my angels and celestial beings, and the visions that are popping into my head, are all here to support me and this Mystery is holding me up in its loving arms and I am ready –

I am ready.

Invitation – take some time to reflect on your own path, where are you on your journey? What do you need to weed out? What are you embracing? Come and share here, I love to hear from you.

Many Blessings

Happy Monday

Happy Monday my beautiful friends!

Today I bring you the gift of the Butterfly.

She is the symbol of transformation. She reminds us to go through important changes with lightness and grace.
This week look at any conflicting situation with more lightness and get a different perspective.
She brings the gift of beauty and grace, the energies of divine feminine and healing, and she teaches transcendence and the magic of believing.

When the butterfly appears to you, she is whispering to you that it’s time to let go of what you have been holding on to. A relationship? Old thoughts? Old habits? Letting go will bring divine change into your life.

If you are on a spiritual journey the butterfly is reminding you that it’s time to go deeper.

Open up to her divine gifts.

I invite you to contemplate her gifts and feel free to share your experiences here. Love to hear from you.

Divine Blessings

PS. Sorry I do not have the name of the photographer.

Re-Claiming ME

In my Womanrune Immersion class with Molly Remer, the Rune a couple of days ago was the Egg.

Rune of naming. Word of Power. Magic Naming. Communication.

The word “naming” stuck with me all day I finally realized that I have been – naming me – for the last few years, and that in naming me I am – claiming me.

I CLAIM ME!

It’s taken me most of my life to claim me, to bring me out of deep hiding. I am the daughter of holocaust survivors, my parents were the only survivors out of their entire families. They each spent five years in concentration camps and I grew up listening to my mother tell me every day of the horrors of concentration camps.

As a young child I didn’t understand the words, their meaning, the heartbreak that each word carried, but I felt and absorbed my mothers pain, her guilt, her tears that ran down her face. I felt her body as she held me on her lap with the horrors she lived through.

As a child, I didn’t know how to process this and so I hid myself away, I hid so far and so deep that I almost didn’t find myself. I was born a year after my parents were liberated. I now know that the purpose I was born for was to give power and light. My parents were so broken, their heart, their spirit, their soul was shattered to pieces but they were able to go on living because of me. I gave them life, I gave them hope, I gave them a reason to go on, I gave them a purpose. And I gave them my power; I gave them the light they needed.

In the last few years I have been re-claiming my light and my power. Slowly I have been digging myself out of hiding and come to know who I am on my own without the holocaust. My parents have both transitioned to Love, they don’t need my power or my light now anymore and I am re-claiming me back.

The holocaust will always be a part of me; it’s my legacy, my history, my ancestry. But, if I stay hidden away I will always be a victim of it and live under it’s ashes.

I need to re-claim ME, to know my passions, my desires, to live in my power and to shine my light.

And so, I’m claiming ME. My power. My light.

How about you? Are you re-claiming yourself from your story? Post your re-claiming of you here, I’d love to know.

Many Blessings

Letting Go

I’m taking a class with Molly Remer “Womanrunes Immersion.” As soon as I picked this card “The Reflection” Rune of Surrender. Gentleness. Sacrifice. Letting Go. The image of three birds flying high up in the blue sky came to me, and I had the feeling that I was to give them what no longer fits for me. I was to let go of what is still holding me back from expanding and living in my truth.

Letting go of what contracts me.

I get attached to the old and familiar and have a hard time letting go.

Sometimes they’ve been with me for so long that I don’t even notice them anymore. Like right now as I’m writing the thought of it having to be something meaningful, have a purpose and be perfect and brilliant, has come up and is invading my being. I have to be conscious of these thoughts, recognize them, thank them, and send them on their way – reminding myself that right now I’m writing in my journal and this is for me alone and no one else, if I want to share it later I can always tweak it or leave it as is (if I’m really brave.)

When I allow those old thoughts to overtake me, and I’m editing every word before it even comes out and shows up on the page, it closes me up from getting to my truth.

This image has brought a new awareness.

As I mentioned in my last posting, I’ve entered a new higher level of consciousness, where I’m barely over the threshold, and I’m being asked to let go of all that is keeping me in a place that has finished teaching me.

I get so settled in my daily routines, in rituals that I have become used to, in prayers that I repeat every day but that have lost their meaning for me. In thoughts that repeat themselves. In habits that I just hold on to and not notice.

Moving into this new higher consciousness I have to let go of old thoughts, old rituals, old prayers, old affirmations, old ways of being that are no longer aligned with who I am and who I am becoming.

This rune Reflection and the image of the birds, is a reminder that I need to be fully present and connected to my highest and I can’t be, if there are interferences that are enclosing and contracting me.

So here I am –

E x p a n d i n g

L e t t i n g G o –

of all that is contracting me –

I let the birds carry it away…

I make room to welcome that which has yet to reveal itself to me.

That mystery that is waiting to awaken an even deeper awareness within me.

I l e t g o…

Use the image of the birds flying off with what you are letting go of. Share it here, I’d love to know what you have released.

Blessings
