Trust the process

Thu, 22 Nov 2018 21:45:00 GMT

Judy Fraser passed away Christmas 2018, quietly, at home with her family. She will be much missed by many.

Trust the process ........

Now we somehow find the final push of energy we need to get to the end of the year. For many of us it has been a wobbly few weeks so this moon is coming at the perfect time to ground us, and help us to keep ramming through those obstacles and blockages. The easiest way to is to surrender to the reality of any situation and do what feels best for you. We have had illuminated to us that life is a mixture of both pain and pleasure in equal measure. It is up to us to decide which perspective we choose to focus on. When we can accept the duality of this thing and it’s fringes we will be able to tolerate it much more. Pay attention to all the blessings that are flowing our way and the pleasure life is bringing us, while embracing those parts that are painful. This is the bitter sweet melody of life.

November has been a month of extremes ~ all fine or rotten. The key seems to be to tone the ‘good’ down a bit, leaving good humour to prevail when times are hard! Sometimes we are kept ignorant to our own shade, even if we see it clearly in others. Remember the proverb “never criticise another until you’ve walked a mile in their moccasins”. Find some time to rest, it’s been an intense time, so stop, enable integration; reflect, then take the time to rest, calm the mind and decide how you wish to proceed. Overwhelming tiredness requires rest, like it or not, and enables us let go of what is toxic and no longer serving us.

The veil between our world and the spirit world is still very thin over this time - take time to be in silence

Osho Rajneesh:

“Experience life in all possible ways – good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.”

Suggested self-check

1. Are you buckling under the weight of your own problems? Dig deep to find our inner resilience and strength. When we know we can meet our needs from our own inner resources, we can find the answers and make the right decisions from a place of empowerment and self love.

2. Stay in the present and ground yourself in what is, rather than what might be.

3. We are happy to give help, not always to receive it. Check the balance of the two states. Try to reignite creativity and passion by looking at things another way.

4. Stay practical! Clearly plan the next step and let it happen, even if it is modified slightly.

5. Do the day and persevere until you find the way. Don’t give up! Focus, there is always a way forward, even if your first idea fails - keep trying!

A season is part of the whole year

A season is part of the whole year

Keep the bigger picture in mind while taking each small step. Especially if you are feeling impatient or frustrated that what is happening is beyond our control. When we feel out of control we become self-involved maybe even greedy, forgetting we are working on behalf of the good of all. Try to make things easier and make things more enjoyable, playful and have fun where you can. Rather than fight reality, the more we can accept people and situations as they are, without judgment or blame, we can start to see the blessings within the apparent burdens. Include all, the self included, as best you are able. Time to jump into the unknown supporting and being supportive.

Time to take a more balanced approach and embrace everything that is happening, as it is clearing the path for a new cycle. Rather than judge things as 'good' and 'bad' things may still be working themselves out. Surrender to the flow of life, wherever it is taking you, and set a path for the next few months. Rather than change what is beyond our capacity to understand we begin to understand what life is gifting us. If we are flexible we can yield more easily and change our direction as required. If we are rigid or stuck in our ways life becomes hard and uncomfortable, stay flexible and be open to new possibilities.

We are in a month of new beginnings. But this isn't just any new beginning. This month...and for the remaining months of this year...we begin to pivot toward the all new everything. Each of us are being presented with a major choice-point...a unique and unprecedented opportunity to sever our cord from duality. No more duality just choice.

Face the truth however hard it seems. Once we know the reality we can do something about it. Accept people as they are and not as we would like them to be. Once we can accept a person’s choices are their own, we are more able to forgive them if their choices don’t coincide with our own. So surrender to the choppy flow. There is no point in fighting life, we will always come out the loser. When we let go of old attitudes we are more able to deal with things. Trust that life has your back. Without an innate trust that life wants us to thrive, we can become anxious, stressed and depressed Everything is happening perfectly even when we are unable to see how! When we can let go, we can enjoy the ride, whatever is happening!

Ask what triggers our impulsive side? What keeps us stuck in old habits that die hard? What behaviours do we repeatedly indulge in regardless of how poorly they’ve worked out for us before?! Identifying these now will help us curtail impulsive reactivity and discern what truly needs to change.

This month signals a time to wipe the slate clean in any recent conflicts. Just because we’ve clashed with others doesn’t mean we’re bound to be forever at war. On the contrary, we may have far more in common than we know! Human nature is cyclical, moving in ebbs and flows of togetherness and understanding, strife, separation and discord, then back to connection again. All is in constant motion, nothing remains the same and any notion that people never change simply isn’t true. This is a time that both softens and strengthens our relationships. It supports a compassionate heart and courageous spirit. At times we need to be willing to say the tough stuff with bold love, knowing it is the truth which sets us free and frees others. It is sometimes the hardest truth of all, too easy to swoop in bully and control within the lives of others. High drama and intensity aren’t necessarily the hallmarks of a meaningful relationship. If we can’t withstand the demands of everyday life – the mundane realities that form much of a day – we may be using a relationship to escape life, not to share that life intimately with another. Relationships come in all shapes and sizes. Comparing one to another is largely pointless. But for those wondering where a current connection will lead – ask Is it what I want and what I need?

Suggested self-reflection:

1. Ask yourself if you’ve been turning a blind eye in certain areas? Things that have been hidden are being exposed, what form is this taking for you?

2. We need to restore balance and take responsibility for choices and resulting actions. Are you getting sucked into areas that need not concern you?

3. We want to eliminate the inner critic now. Don’t get taken hostages rather shine more brightly and review things that have been achieved. Manage time and ask what projects are important and what you can contribute? Ask don’t barge in!

4. Rather than trying to change or ‘fix’ another look at how it maybe reflecting our own behaviour and see what needs changing within us. List what these these maybe, work out how to negotiate. Sometimes we loose the diplomatic stance. Work out where we may have attacked or gone on the defensive and then work from the same side.

5. Be yourself and be as honest and truthful as you are ready to be. Don’t compromise yourself in favour of others but don’t betray yourself either. Re-establish the boundaries you need to keep while respecting those of others as well. Assume nothing, ask don’t tell. Take another view on where you may have done. Have you slipped up in the past so you can trust yourself not to make the same mistake again?

Harvest Time and the Autumn Equinox

Harvest Time and the Autumn Equinox

How light is your heart? Light and good, move in one direction, the desolated in another so it is a choice whether to sink or to rise. We’re being asking to get off the fence, make decisions and form opinions as to how to proceed with the merging of heaven and earth as we know it and choose what to create as we write our future. Do we focus on problems that stimulate fear or do we neutralise old polarity and proceed with trust, even when we are not sure what we are doing! Don’t feed the fear feed love instead, this enables us to view new potential so we can be the change that we want to see. As the Autumn equinox occurs we can assess the harvest both internally and externally so endings and beginnings happen.

We are used to following the head or the heart and sometimes they seem to conflict as the rational, logical and structured paths that are familiar to us appear and yet it maybe our choice to trust the intuition and creative energy which is more unknown as yet. We can feel demotivated, sluggish until the head and the heart decide to move in one direction rather than seemingly quarrelling for who should dominate. Only when we find the courage to follow our intuition do we disconnect from the past and move into the magic that is our future.

Serve the self or serve all? We need to talk to trusted friends for all our sakes, so that we catch up with ourselves, when we do so we begin to feel better about ourselves and find inner peace as our problems find a perspective and set new intentions even if we are unsure how they may manifest as yet. Get what help you need whether that is a chat, time to meditate, a massage or whatever resonates and brings clarity. It may appear we are diving into deep water and facing things that have been hidden in our deep unconscious, better to face the fear or potential pain as it liberates us long term. Focus forward and get back on track it will boost our energy. Self-doubts, mental blockages and self-imposed limitations stop us from leaving the past behind and concentrating on planting next seasons seeds. The only way to overcome fear and anxiety is to go for it and to trust that both the Invisible Worlds and the Earth have our back. Over the last couple of weeks, it has been becoming more apparent that in order to remain harmonious, calm and peaceful we now need to completely surrender to the ebb and flow of life! Life is forcing us to fully detach and let go and allow the river of life to sweep us along fully trusting we are safe and supported.

This is the time to take stock of where our projects are so that you know where to focus our energy for the rest of the year. During the harvest time, we are able to see what projects are ready for the harvest, what still needs time to ripen, and which of our projects were unable to take root and grow. Despite instant communications, things are seeming to take much longer to come to fruition. Don't be frustrated if you are not where you want to be. Life has a funny way of bringing to us exactly what we need when we need it, we just need to trust that everything is happening perfectly! Time to tune out the negative and to concentrate on that which inspires.

Harvest needs to include balancing the busy-ness with that which nurtures plus a few treats. To do so enables us to count our blessings and be able to be a part of the good things happening around us. It’s an invitation to life to put us in the way of more magic. Declutter the year whether that appears in the form of people or possessions and clean the space to enable the new magic to enter in. Yes, up until the harvest we have to be busy now it is the time to slow down to avoid burn out and to replenish that which is exhausted. Time to take time out and to soothe fear and calm stress and to ‘see and feel’ nature in all its forms human, animal, vegetable and mineral. Be open to beauty.

Suggested self check:

1. Are you willing to let go and get any help you may need?

2. Have you the courage to let go and allow yourself to be led?

3. Can you view this Autumn Equinox as the gap between chapters that enables new intentions to come to the fore?

4. As you begin to understand the next steps can you communicate these to others once they are clear to you?

5. Do you trust yourself to take the next step knowing that the essence of whatever is past lives in the heart anyway?

Wake up and smell the roses!

Wake up and smell the roses!

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”   Ralph Waldo Emerson:

This is the time of a massive collective awakening. This involves being stirred up so we search what life truly means for us. In its wake we experience both unrest and chaos. If we realise we have to investigate further, and deeper and this will involve change. No more taking things for granted as some people and things will disappear from our lives and eventually be replaced by the new. The interim period is uncomfortable and sometimes unpleasant as the new and the old seem to war against one another. It is easier to try to rerun the old, yet it is no longer viable. The new is more difficult to get a hold on, yet is required. It enables us to weed and retain what is required and to have enough space to be aware of the way ahead given a little time and patience.   Change is a work in progress within individuals, countries and nations across the world as we know it. Unrest is plain to see and feel, it seems like being on the very edge of a national disaster that is just about ready to show its face. The only way to manage it is to go within so deeply as to be little affected by the outer confusion and so not drawn into it more than superficially.   Not easy but essential to our survival.   The service requires not getting into judgment or blame but to be dispassionate yet send Light to all.

Learning to ‘know’ ourselves as we are NOW allows us to master and understand current time, only then can we transform into who we currently are. Information starts in the gut and may well unbalance us, we can’t ‘get’ the new balance required. Only when we look deep into our hearts then try modified expression can we become realistic rather than idealistic about what is required next. When we know then we are able to pass the information coherently to others who surround us. During this process we can feel quite isolated and alone, if we stay steady sleep enough, connect to nature, eat well as we contemplate, we find our way soon enough. Then when we rewind our balance we are able to communicate with others. If we do it to early we experience overwhelm, too late and others loose interest.

Things are starting to shift, and there are those who are feeling this. Celebrate the change. “Whatever it is that's going on with us, celebrate it! There's a benevolence of love in our life that will bring us good things. Cast away the fear of the future and start celebrating what's to come. If we can find gratitude so much the better.   When we take personal responsibility for our actions, rather than allow ourselves to be triggered by the behaviour of others, we become more empowered and can make choices that serve us better.   Don't look to others to fill the hole. Serve yourself and do what is the right for you. Remember to embrace the rebel and stand in our own power, so we can be the change.   Have the will to carry on regardless of the challenges and obstacles that we are encountering and trust our own inner strength and vision. Try to to see the world through the eyes of a child, and see life with wonder and excitement. A child sees life as an adventure and is unafraid to take risks even when past experience has brought with it lethargy. so review beliefs and have another go!

Suggested self check:
1.   How is your inner rebel? Are you able to speak your truth without fear? Are you willing to shake your status quo to investigate perceived hidden agendas, deceits, old betrayal and free all from destructive behaviour, relationships, partnerships and friendships?
2.   Are you willing to break out of old ruts and take the first step? Can you create a balance between serving the self and serving the greater community?
3.   Will you face your weaknesses head on or continue to remain passive obedient and complacent within injustice as you see it? Can you express your real feeling or will you go beyond old comfort zones?
4.   Is your intuition in good working order as you meet sudden change that sometimes brings revolutionary consequences with them? Will you take the risk to be a more authentic version of yourself?
5.   Do you listen to your dreams and visions? Do you observe the synchronicities surrounding you as you try to join the dots?

Do you need a Chill Pill ?

Do You Need a Chill Pill ?

The Four Agreements.:

“Don't Make Assumptions.

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.

Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.

With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.” Miguel Angel Ruiz,

If your feelings become intense, perhaps wait until they have calmed down before having a conversation with the person who is igniting these emotions in us. We all want to be heard, but when its activated by negativity the message can get lost. Our senses become sharper if we relax.
Each and all are special and unique to Life? Love and life are unconditional, infinite, and eternal. If we offer harmony to chaos, chaos offers opportunity to us. Current time calls for the empowerment to hold our boundaries of love so that our resonance stays strong, maintaining a powerful vibration that interacts with humanity—it affects the vibration of life on Earth

If we want to be heard when we speak we must learn to listen and listen well. It’s been said we should listen three times as much as we speak. When we have something to say it needs the purpose behind it, when it has then synchronicities occur and we connect to people who we can help and those who can help us. When people show up and we connect we share, not for what we might get out of it but because we want to and it seems the right thing to do. We can concern ourselves with the administration behind time rather than in front. Be selective but open up and share vulnerabilities. Of course you may have to cope with the come back i.e. those who start to decide on your behalf if they should speak or not; those who try to take over and treat you as if you are deranged but in amongst them the wheat is sorted from the chaff.

Intuition is not sourced from the thinking mind, so don’t distort truth by seeing reality as you might like it to be, It is as it is so face it full on. Be careful not to gossip or make assumptions regards the behaviour of others, stay in your integrity and don’t get caught up in other peoples battles. If others prejudices cannot accommodate our vulnerability that is their problem, don’t make it your own. Establish revised boundaries and ensure your own are peaceful and harmonious outcomes.

It’s time to take the opportunity to go beyond old fears, and to redefine our boundaries and set revised goals. Some may remain as before but maybe new ones are appropriate as well. Recommit and hold one, tenacity will support our endeavours. No need to act hard and tough nor soft and gentle we can pursue a middle way and create and update solutions as we get inventive. My Canadian brother and sister paid a visit to each other this week together with partners and decided I was the only one missing so they Face-timed me so I could join in for an hour or so those are the sort of solutions that move mountains!

Suggested self check:

1. Get practical inside and out so as to get on top of administration, use it or loose it! True for clothes, administration and kitchen cupboards.
2. Make a daily commitment to see the funny side of life, at least once a day. When we focus on something, we experience more of it.
3. Are you facing your limitations? Look at what they are then accept them and make the best of them. Be grateful to those who help to facilitate these changes.
4. What are the ways you find to express your truth more easily even if it means getting a bit tougher.
5. Is your inner critic overactive? Work to let go the need to berate yourself. Look at how far you’ve come even if you think you’ve a long way to go.

Look for the Rainbows - Happy Summer Solstice

Look for the Rainbows - Happy Summer Solstice

The most important thing is to find some quiet time to just stop and be with ourself. It is very difficult to get clear when there is external stuff going on and we are being bombarded by other people and their needs. We are important too, so make the time – we’re worth it. It gives us the time to get clear on what we want to achieve and to re-establish our intention and goals. Once we get clear on our bigger viewpoint we can work backwards to enable us to see the practical next step. In that way we don’t get overwhelmed as we cut the workload down into bite size pieces. We can write down what we need to do, then prioritise them. We can ask for help if we need it, it is important to acknowledge our vulnerability when required.

When we find ourselves faced with two directions, go with your gut feeling even when it seems irrational, trust the intuition and the gut feeling. A teacher of mine said if in doubt go with the harder path. In June observe changes in our third eye, throat and heart energy flow. We are amplifying our Love so we can handle its higher aspect although fear and ego will cause us to resist. However impossible a situation may appear to be faith will escort us through. Keep on keeping on! Be true to who you are, despite resistance just ‘do’ the day, and don’t take things too seriously, then we make the right decisions for us and so enjoy life more. When you are ready share your decisions and ideas with those whose feedback you honour and respect. They may say something that brings clarity to our situation.

Maybe we may feel there is a sting in the tail, that is usually due to judgement (which just maybe wrong or incomplete) and/or not releasing the blame game. It is the residual of the past and we need to completely forgive and find compassion for all (self included). Change is a scary thing and most of us are holding on to what we know rather than dive into the unknown for something better. Choose not to be a victim to past circumstances, focus on what you have learned rather than what you feel you have lost.

Look beyond old horizons it will help to inspire It helps us to let go of expectations and attachments to specific outcomes so that we can take the risks. If there are moments of fear and uncertainty the best way of dealing with them is to be in the moment, as much as possible, and trust your gut feeling. When we decide to see life as an adventure, rather than a nightmare, we see all the magic and blessings that are happening right in front of our eyes. And synchronicity starts to be noticed as it occurs.

Make the most of this time of growth and regeneration. Everything is lush and green and full of fertility. Nature is our reflection so find hope and inspiration in the nature that is around us, even when things are looking turbulent. Be willing to see the rainbows in life, because somewhere in the sky the sun is always shining, even when there is rain.

Express willingness to become pro-active, and rise above the sometimes suffocating feelings of helplessness and desperation with renewed faith. When we do so it releases passion and inspiration to do something positive for the world and make it a better place. It doesn’t have to be earth shattering, a smile and a kind word starts to new. We have spent the last few months releasing mental and emotional blockages. Now is the time to move into the flow of action and change the things that no longer serve us.

Suggested self check:

1. As yourself if you have you found your feet and recreated an inner safe space?

2. What are you committed to? Is it a new project, relationship or both? How do you intend to focus and commit?

3. Are you ready to trust that inner flow and to let life's tides take you need to go without resistance?

4. What is your gut instinct telling you?

5. Have you had a sense of humour failure? Look for laughs whether it is ‘having the crack’ with friends or watching a funny movie.

The Wobbly Bridge from Past to Future

Mon, 14 May 2018 19:44:00 GMT

The Wobbly Bridge from Past to Future

Life has been wobbly over the past few weeks, and some people have been feeling depressed and a bit lost. Time to find our feet once more, and re-focus our attention. We can step into our power, as the individuals we are now, as we find the forgiveness and compassion towards those that have hurt us, or caused us pain in the past. As we take personal responsibility for the choices we have made we release any negativity that no longer serves us. The new cycle has begun, and with it comes a clean slate, We are entwined with the collective experience of life. To empower ourself, we interact with life and change the world bit by bit, merely by living our life. It is our birthright as a human being. Life wants our empowerment, because it expands through our efforts.

Life is always “speaking” to us, as is our Higher Self. We don’t need to become frustrated because we think we can’t hear our Higher Self. Since it is an integral part of us, the communication is so natural and continual that many miss it. Depending on our dominant intuitive senses, our communication will vary. But the Higher Self is rarely a booming voice in our head telling us what to do and when to do it. It speaks to us through emotional and thought impulses, as well as our psychic senses like body clues for example goosebumps, throat clearing, feeling hot or cold without reason. The still small voice speaks to us through our desires, and through our interactions. It will enable us to come across a certain website; have us over-hear someone’s conversation or a song on the radio…it is communicating with us endlessly. The skill is to take notice and to follow the clues until we solve the mystery. When we learn to read the clues, we are opening to an enhanced communication and connection that helps guide and indicate our path. Quiet gentle and kind never forceful or coercive.

Sometimes we feel a little marginalised and isolated. Often this is because our attention is being drawn towards the ‘new’. Sometimes we are disappointed because we’ve been unexpectedly approached to do a task, we put ourselves out and work out how it might be possible to administer, only to find others have made different arrangements without informing us. Rude not to inform us- yes, inconvenient- yes! We need to remind ourselves that we would not want to work with people like that anyway and in fact we have been granted a happy miss. Something more appropriate will occur if we are patient. It is all a part of the mechanics of letting go of the old and connecting to the new. Connect to the emotions then let go and trust and accept that all is as it should be and is well, even when we don’t fully understand as yet.

There are two main types of clues; internal clues and external clues.

First, our internal clues speak to us of our intent, our current vibration and belief structures. As we identify and update them, we align our communication with that of our Higher Self. Secondly, there are the synchronistic clues of life from the outer world—the external clues. These will speak to us of impending manifestations, available choices and how balanced we are with our intent. As we meld and weave together what we now know and understand it all begins to make sense.

We begin with the inner world. Since your Higher Self easily speaks to you through emotions and thoughts which are our intuitive senses, we can use these to help us to understand the language of the Management Upstairs. Honouring our authentic feelings helps let what is the current requirement surface into awareness. Emotions are merely a library of information packed into a feeling. Reading the internal clues is the observance of our emotions and our thoughts. Authenticity is important for our movement, otherwise we just avoid our own alignment. When we are empowered within, the outer circumstances don’t control our inner world. Here the external and internal clues meet in the realm of choice and we update our current within our communication with life.

The external clues present via the circumstances that surround us. We observe things that we have a strong emotional reaction to and maybe wonder why. Something may stand out in an unexpected way, for example we look out of the window and colour appears brighter than usual, or someone we are talking to has unfamiliar expressions on their face or in their voice. Someone at work inspires or annoys you whereas we’ve not been bothered before. Take notice of the clues of life that are being pointed out. Some make us feel empowered even if it stirs a little doubt or trepidation, in which case carry on! If on the other hand if we feel it is dragging us back into places we don’t want to go, then heal it within and walk away.

We need to take actions that move us toward greater empowerment. We are evolving into greater boldness, love and balance. We are constantly discerning and choosing, directing and allowing. Balance is the active endowment of our natural Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energy in equality. We direct active masculine energy and allow and respond to feminine energy. We choose masculine energy and we observe feminine energy. This external and internal reflection is a part of us, and it is a part of life.It is the independent and interdependent in balance, living through us. We are entwined with the collective experience of life. Empower and interact with life and we all change the world bit by bit, merely by living our life. It is our birthright as a human being. Life wants our empowerment, because life expands through us.

Suggested self check:

1. New energies have been introduced. Are you ready to meet them as an inquisitive, innocent child, with no awareness of failure, pain, disappointment, and broken dreams. Or, will old memories and experiences get in your way?

2. Can you take a genuine, honest, mature look at what is happening in all areas of our life to see what is desirable and possible as a next step?

3. Be aware that dreaming big can spark conflict so talk and discuss possible plans with those who have a proven track record only until plans begin to concretise. Who are those people for you in current time?

4. Are you clinging to the river bank or letting go and going with the flow? When we let go synchronicities start to happen. What are those for you?

5. Focus and trust your inner voice. Then you ‘know’ what the right risks are, it may not seem rational. So what is the right thing for you at this time?

Surfing the waves of life!

Surfing the waves of life!

We have no choice but to go with the flow, ride the waves and manage the ebbs and the flows, the highs and the lows, the currents and the waves. It becomes much easier when we stop fighting with life. Then we start to see the magic within nature, the synchronicities and how life is working with us. Time to set our intention and go with the flow. we’ve had a time where we have had the possibility of connecting more fully to our intuition and feel connected to both the spiritual worlds and the earth and nature that surrounds us. Less ego and more heart is the stimulus that will drive us on. As we’ve spoken about in past months, first comes confusion even conflict as we move between the pressures of society and wondering what our true desires are and if we’re coming to the right conclusions.

If we live simply and quietly we find our personal rhythm and flow, then we begin to understand and even honour our deepest needs as they are now without the fear or/and recrimination. Any frustration and anger disappears as we bring the current issues to the surface. We are all special and have something to give yet we have to update what it is! Where to give and when, and what we need to receive. It doesn’t matter who we are, or what our life is like, whether our beauty is internal external or both. Or, where we come from or how much money we have made. We have unique gifts, skills and talents. These are pulled apart and then put together in a new way as we change our perspective and attitude to manifest our passions into reality.

We often feel under pressure to look after our material needs and wants, while we become more aware of how our actions impact the rest of humanity, and the planet. We remember that we are all connected to a greater whole, and hopefully it helps us to be more inclusive, loving, and compassionate. As the old chapter gives way to the new we sometimes feel a sense of doom which is this conflict between knowing everything is possible, and the clouds created by the harsh reality of our everyday lives, and the fear of change. This is happening to everyone. Our job is to be compassionate to ourselves as well as to others. If we feel we are being pushed beyond old boundaries then we are! Take time to be alone but not to indulge in victim mentality. Being in nature stabilises us rather better than trying to escape into addictive behaviours.

Yes we may want to keep up with world headlines but we need to be careful not to immerse ourselves in horror. As we learn the merits of rest, quietness, calmness and allowing things to unfold. We don’t have to have an opinion of everything. Why people would think we should put our oar in is beyond my comprehension. Some people just want to be the centre of attention all of the time, the sooner we learn this is not possible the better for everyone. We are reminded to find our current point of equilibrium, where we are able to remain in our power, without upsetting the harmony and balance of our relationships. This adjustment may feel a little harsh as we may feel a little marginalised until we are motivated to find our new placement. This will involve freeing others to do the same.

It is a time for co-operation and compromise, rather than conflict and confrontation. Take a ‘chill pill’ this enables awakening and awareness. We do our best to let go of anything that we are not in control of. When we can surrender, trust, allow, and receive, life seems to work out more smoothly. Everyone needs to be heard and listened to, so we need to be honest with our feelings and not be afraid to ask for what we want. The more honest and open we are the easier and more emotionally stable we become. Firstly we need to break old dependency cycles and find harmony and peace within relationships that were once challenging. Ride those waves and enjoy the ride! A friend of mine said the qualities needed are patience, persistence and perseverance, how true!

Suggested self check:

1. Are you able to let go of the past or do you cling on afraid nothing as good or even better will come your way?

2. Are you able to research what may come your way next in a detached manner?

3. When you ‘know’ how you feel can you express yourself to others in a definitive manner?

4. When others give you advice as to how they think you ‘should’ proceed are you able to hold your own space or do you find yourself slipping into their reality?

5. Do you find yourself consumed by negative thoughts, people or news? Do you seek out the positive more cheering situations, people and activities?

P.S. We have started a series of free talks in collaboration with Ash TV. If people have questions they can join a Q&A session for which there will be a charge. Email Ash or myself and when there are enough people a session will be scheduled.

Adaptability

Adaptability

Transition involves ending the old chapter graciously even if we feel there is more that could have been done, it is the time to let go. There follows a gap when not much seems to be happening, it is important that we live simply and are practical rather than projecting our opinions onto others, who have their own agendas and who do not deserve to be loaded with that of other peoples as well. A time when we need to be open to doing things a different way under different circumstances. Not that we have much choice! More pleasant for all if we don’t give way to major tantrums. As we come towards the Spring equinox we balance the books and use what has been learned as the foundation from which to move onwards once more. We have already had the first day of Spring here in the UK although it seems more like the depths of winter still!

Within the murk we start to create our new world, that in turn is mirrored by communities even countries. If we are bold we love as best we are able, and in holding this vibration we heal the disdain we may have experienced as we observed others who desired change but did not appear to be working on themselves that hard! We begin to journey into our next phase like it or not. We are observing governments and businesses and amplifying the direction of Love’s flow into future form. If we don’t fall into the trap of judgement we can ride the wave from past to future. We are contribute and take the reins of the course of humanity, for we are contributing to being a cooperative and positive trigger, as we empower change in the direction of love and care. We are looking deep within at residual resentment, fear, anger or pain. As we let it go and nurture transformation wisdom we’ve gained as have others as we cultivate and feed the future.

Love is always a choice. It is the catalyst that determines the next creation’s forming. It can never force anyone, for love is a vehicle of empowerment that we must choose freely and unselfishly. If we pick love we will find we are embraced even when experiencing a moment of anger or sorrow. Love is in service to us, for we’ve chosen to direct form (this includes momentary lapses). As we forgive, we offer new growth of Love. As we learn to hold healthy boundaries, we offer new strength to our ability to give and receive Love. We are Love’s vehicle of flow. We learn to flow love into all human experience, be it challenge or triumph. Compassion gives freely but also receives, we give first because we decide we don’t want to hate or to criticise anymore. Whether we receive or not at that stage is a theory and it really doesn’t matter in the overall scheme of things. If we are lucky and receive then we learn to be gracious and grateful rather than argumentative.

We choose what we fertilise but we need to fertilise the ground to dream our dreams and inspire ourselves, so we find the courage to take risks and open to new possibilities as we shake off the sluggish and unmotivated remnants of winter. Be aware of waking and sleeping dreams as well as inner prompts so we can follow signs. It’s a time to ‘weed’ as we comprehend whether that involves people who are growing at a different rate to ourselves, not right or wrong just different. Or perhaps we need to pay attention to our health; a change of focus of work issues so we can stand in our power no longer bound up in things that have held us back. It is important to align with ‘now’ time letting the past and the future go, that allows us to make the space we need for everyone to move on. We to easily fall into making decisions as to what we think may ‘be perfect’ both for ourselves and for others. Time to get off the case and be gentle as well as patient. Be aware of feelings of irritation or annoyance that have surrounded or invaded our space and insist on calming down within and seek harmony until these feeling pass away as they will if they are not fed energy.

Suggested self check:

1. Being practical enables what is possible. Are you aware of what creative action is beginning to happen? Think out of your box and look for the feel good factor, what is it?

2. Is your heart calm and peaceful? When your heart is quiet you know what to do next regardless of any wild impulses your head or ego project. Be aware as you go about your day so you pick up clues.

3. Are you willing to open up opportunities and work with the unexpected? Do you jump into the unexpected or run away from it, are you waiting in the space ‘nicely’ until you understand what is required?

4. Are you observing personal and collective beliefs that no longer serve you? Do you dare to tell your updated truth and dare to be different or unconventional?

5. Are you standing up for what you believe in now? Can you rock the boat if need be, perhaps ‘bend’ rules that no longer serve? Have you taken an inventory of our connections of late? If we feel genuine compassion? Do you align with the good and true?

Here Comes Spring

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:51:49 GMT

HERE COMES SPRING

We have been reviewing old heart ache and past cycles that have been pain related at one level or another. There is a line in a song that says “Oh what a night” this last time period would better be described as “Oh what a month”. Brain scramble enables us to work out of what relevant to us now, and what has been useful but is now redundant. When knowledge is truly integrated within us there is no need to study it further, for now at least. When we seem to be drowning in emotions we have to ask ourselves if they are ours. Perhaps we inherited traits from environments, parental influences and the like. Useful and educational at the time but of no use to us now. These things get collected up and utilised or discharged from our space. They may appear as a virus, a bacterial infection or a previously unsuspected illness. All must be managed with diligence and with care.

A part of this process is working to become the eye of the storm, the stable calm that life spins around. Life is spinning fast and we cannot be all things to all people nor should we try. If our core is strong with the knowing of our sacredness, we are truly empowered and all is well. We can observe this in the way that life flows easily even in troubled times all aligns with relative ease.

In spite of loss illness or whatever we begin to glimpse the magic that we are and that love is. The real and the natural is not an illusion. New solutions and new experience is being born through us, some might say in spite of us! We don’t need to figure it out all at once, we gradually become more resonant with the peace that passes all understand and it will begin to flow through us. As we work to free ourselves inwardly we find ourselves forgiving those who have made demands on us wittingly or unwittingly. We start to understand the true meaning on in (for) giving we have received. In the same way as we may have judged others we judge or justify ourselves. This opinion requires change only then can we perceive in a more comprehensive manner. If we do not cooperate transformation cannot occur and we get in the way of collective movement.

As we begin to find our new place we let go and in doing so free ourselves and many others. Old experiences become new strengths where we lead by demonstration rather than by being bossy and annoying others. Updated wisdom may require us to keep quiet and just be around rather than insisting on a lead role. Certainly we may learn new understanding of ourself, and we will certainly understand others better. We may like what we see or we may not! We cannot change the system or have another go. If our kids are grown up we can’t go back and take another go at raising them! They will be raising their own family now and will be meeting the challenges of their own remits in their own ways. They will not thank us for getting in their way.

We all have to find our updated role and fill the space that is waiting for us. We help most by being able to respond, it is responsible to focus on our need rather than to put all our energy into deciding (probably wrongly) what others needs are! Take a good look at where we are and what we believe is required as a next step. Don’t look too far ahead for if we do we loose momentum better we have the tenacity to achieve the next step, more may seem to forbidding.

Only when we begin to see the light for ourselves can we light the path of others. Once the recognition is there all are able to move on. Then the creative ideas come and we begin to trust we are being guided. We live naturally with simplicity and elegance and all are served. We are now riding the waves of living rather than sinking.

Suggested self check:

1. Decide to work for the good of all even when we do not know exactly what is required as yet! Togetherness and teamwork is more important than personal recognition. Your heart will tell you who is a part of your current team and who is not - have you asked?

2. We’ve all heard the expression ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’ well now is the time! What do you need to take up or to put down. What is making you numb rather than brave? Are you grateful for learning to date and ready to move on? Do you share dreams or messages so we shine?

3. Are you trusting your inner guidance or running amok and creating unnecessary dramas? Are you aware of the needs of others or are you too bound up with in your own to even notice?

4. Do you know what you believe in now? Or, are you being over influenced by others?

5. Have you the courage to let life dance through you? If you have the we manifest the new dreams with relative ease. Are you speaking your own truth? Are you standing up for what you believe in? Are you respecting yourself and others?

What Constitutes HELP ?

Mon, 29 Jan 2018 19:32:36 GMT

WHAT CONSTITUTES ‘HELP’?

We cannot ‘change’ a situation that is not to our liking because in truth we do not know what is required. Nor can we ‘fix’ someone for their path is not ours. We can’t protect those we care for, nor can we rescue them from living their path in life. We can support and encourage but we need to be sensitive and do so without invading their space or being intrusive. If we assume we know the current situation and try to take control we belittle, even when we do not intend to do so. If we try to ‘take over’ we can seem to disempower and so negate the efforts of those we care for. What a minefield!

This time of year can appear to restrict us. If we try to expand our minds and increase our knowledge this is a good time to do something new. Look around and see what is available locally so as to pursue interests, hobbies and talents that have been suppressed or forgotten about. It may stimulate a re-emerge now, so be alert to things that catch your interest. Be courageous and follow your passion. Deliverance is the gift of the liver, the organ that filters out the toxicity and rids the body of excess. We can use the energy to filter out the toxicity in our life that is no longer serving us on the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical levels.

Before we ‘help’ another we set the example ourselves as best we are able. When we remain clear and focused within, regardless of what is happening out in the external world, we can overcome any doubt or sense of failure that may try to consume us. This allows the magic of life to pull us through the darkness.

We’ve just experienced Epiphany when there wise men deliver gifts to the new born, the difference this year is that three wise women follow them to show people how to implement these gifts. So all of us have been trying to reconcile the sacred union within us. When we live life as an adventure we free our minds from the fear that creates barriers and restricts us. If life has been challenging and difficult, we put out the intention to experience a positive adventure. To do this we must explore our Inner Power and this is where we may need to experience the wisdom of those with a proved track record. But are we willing to accept their lead?

We have been fuelled by fire energy which brings out our assertiveness, this promotes and enables us to recognise our inner leadership qualities and to make a stand for ourselves. If we seek and accept direction It helps us get in touch with our inner burning desires. it also gives us the strength to disengage from any disempowering situation or relationship we are in, and may even be the final nudge you need to break free. We will need to do this if we are to experience new beginnings
To help us with this process, we are more able to see how the cycles of life are flowing, and are always in a process of beginning and ending. Stop fighting life and instead find acceptance that everything is happening is perfectly formulated. The sequence is re-visit past, be it places and situations to filter them and let go of what is no longer required; then we experience a void when nothing seems to be happening; then finally we are gradually able to follow the clues as to what comes next.

We don’t need to burn our bridges we just keep in touch with what is possible and recognise what is no longer appropriate. We may feel disappointed that our beliefs and projections of others is not being fulfilled. But rather than blame the other person, recognise that it may well be our expectations that may have been too high and they were just being themselves for as we have changed and moved on so have they.

Wise Women Also Came
by Jan L Richardson.

Wise women also came.
The fire burned
in their wombs
long before they saw
the flaming star
in the sky.
They walked in shadows,
trusting the path
would open
under the light of the moon.
Wise women also came,
seeking no directions,
no permission
from any king.
They came
by their own authority,
their own desire,
their own longing.
They came in quiet,
spreading no rumours,
sparking no fears
to lead
to innocents’ slaughter,
to their sister Rachel’s
inconsolable lamentations.
Wise women also came,
and they brought
useful gifts:
water for labor’s washing,
fire for warm illumination,
a blanket for swaddling.
Wise women also came,
at least three of them,
holding Mary in the labor,
crying out with her
in the birth pangs,
breathing ancient blessings
into her ear.
Wise women also came,
and they went,
as wise women always do,
home a different way.

Suggested self check
1. Are your ‘needs’ the same as they used to be? What modification is required.
2. How can you respond in an updated and gracious manner?
3. Do you feel inwardly free and focused?
4. Can you rearrange to enable release of anything more to make your life easier?
5. Where are you within the sequence of letting go, being in a void space, and having the willingness to follow obvious clues while letting the mystery of solving everything go for now?

High Flying Results from Deep Thinking

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 13:52:00 GMT

HIGH FLYING RESULTS FROM DEEP THINKING

Learning to love ourself as well as others enables forgiveness and the release of painful learning and experiences. As a result we become more connected to the vastness within the unknown. We are in constant communication within also with all live surrounding us. We are all asked to readjust our own experiences as a result of the intensification of human behaviours, the flow of information that has become more conscious. We only have to keep up with the news to observe this is a world-wide phenomena.

Whether we feel overwhelmed and fear filled or excited is our choice. We have had to work hard to nurture all as best able ourselves included until we are more peaceful within. Only then do we increase our openness which enables us to flow more easily with life. It is valuable to have time to focus upon your internal expression so that you begin your creations with much more clarity. As you free yourself from discordant information that you were holding within, you release unconscious vibrational information that was causing a lack of clarity. You are then able to choose your next steps with much more clarity.

It is the time for new levels of creativity and empowerment but we must come from updated and true authenticity. We allow all emotions positive and negative these inform us and enable clarity and so transformation without suppression. We have a passive phase prior to defining new more limitless boundaries. Be observant and decide what you wish to take in and be a part of. It is known as shapeshifting and we are deciding on the new view. This involves letting go of the old and connecting to a more beauty filled reality.

Our ‘job’ is not to change the world but to change ourself into a power filled being that reshapes our own world, this in turn will affect others. If we view ourselves with strength and courage of one who know the power of love both within and ‘outside’ eventually the two meet and merge and we are on our way to taking another step forward. We have to handle the daily challenges that human beings are facing, then developing the wisdom to understand personal limitations moment by moment. All the time creating healthy boundaries.

To understand new solutions building we need to maintain peaceful focus of our expectations and ability to demonstrate love in action and the power it holds. We need to become the change ourself first only then can we demonstrate that way to others. Clearly many want to see the peace that passes understanding manifest on Earth. Those who abuse power must stand down, We are all a part of humanity and have different skills to input, none are superior or inferior we are just aware of the movement of all and the need to find our space in the new regime as we applaud others doing the same. If we consciously communicate with Life, you develop a clearer understanding of the physical realm and non-physical realm. Detachment is not a lack of compassion, it is a lack of turmoil. It is our authenticity and honouring of the self that creates our core strength.

May the Winter Solstice, Christmas and the New Year bring all that each and all required and may we find the grace to support and encourage many.

On a personal note may I wish all a blessed season as we pass the darkest night and head once again for the Light. My thanks to relatives, friends, colleagues and all who have been so supportive this past year

Suggested self check:

Are you going to choose love or fear? Choosing love requires surrender and forgiveness of self and others. Face ‘what is’ square in the face and trust in the good.

Are you trying to control life and the universe? You can’t! Affirm your willingness to let go and focus on the next chapter.

Are you jumping to conclusions ahead of time? Just be present in the moment willing to see and listen and to feel, conclusions appear when all are ready and only then - develop patience.

Recognise that all things change but some take longer than others to adjust. We get in the way if we bully intentionally or unintentionally. Do you?

Are you willing to let go of doubt and jump into your next space, then to wait and see what this involves?

Will it be a sting in the tail or increasing respect and love of all?

Will it be a sting in the tail or increasing respect and love of all?

If we are able to work through the gears to arrive into neutral we can release old suffering once and for all, not only for ourselves but for others as well.. First we need to find the strength to surrender our human fears to the unknown, and trust our flow with Life, even when we don’t fully understand what is happening. November is often known as the scorpion with the sting in its tail. Sometimes we find the focus is on relationships and we can expect issues that need to be resolved to come up during this period. It also shows us where darkness is lurking. We can choose to face our fear and let go of emotional attachments and relationships that have been holding us back. If our space is too cluttered we cannot find the space to respond Clear that space and we create harmony and peace, rather than anger and chaos.

It can be helpful to clear out our homes pass on clothes, pictures kitchen equipment, furniture and so on. Attics, garages and storage areas are not exempt this physical action can support emotional cleansing, and outdated ways of being which in turn will create spiritual space. Only then can the new ways present. It maybe unexpected and quiet but they will come for sure.

If the action we take is inspired by Love, we are choosing a new path, which may not be as established as others, but if it is based in Love then our life can change out of all recognition. The courage to walk the talk of the heart and the gut shows us a new trail waiting to be blazed with the fire of our passion; the flame of our inspiration; the Light of our Love. The forms vary considerately. Perhaps people we have known have grown at different rates to those we are experiencing right now, not better or worse just different. Maybe we have changed our work or have stopped working. It could be a change of location. We need to adapt and free others to do the same.

Action starts with an internal choice. If it is inspired by love we are able to maintain a firm foundation promoting well being for all even when times appear a little sticky. Expect the unexpected and even the apparent same old, same old will take on new life which will surprise and delight. We need to learn to rise above pettiness, so we create steadiness for ourselves and others who surround us. Up in the air one minute then being in the depths of despair is exhausting for one and all, and leads us to be always off balance, if we steady down within, then we are less affected by what happens around us. We come from our faith and are peaceful, so be still and if you are not then meditate, be alone in nature until you are. This past month many people have been experiencing dizziness especially when they get up suddenly. Blurry eyes, that shift from clear to being blurred in seconds. Ears shifting from not hearing sometimes described as ‘cloth ears’ to acute hearing that is almost painful. We are getting ready for our next phase of learning and all ‘filters’ are being cleaned and adjusted. When this is completed health returns are whatever level is necessary and so does our balance.

Suggested self-check

Are you listening to your gut instinct and cutting out any non-sense from the past? Find something to be joyful about each day.
Are you able to get co-census agreement between the subtle and the practical and so make clearer decisions?
Are you able to hold a patient and tenacious way of being? This can include injecting renewed energy into projects and tasks from the past which we’ve neglected for one reason or another.
Are you looking after all, and that includes you, as best you are able? No matter how poorly, unloved or run down you’ve been are you able to count your blessings?
Is your paper work in order, bills paid, tax issues attended to and financial matters sorted and cleared? They either come back and bite us or are a reason to celebrate completion.

Real Progress as we balance opposites

Real Progress as we balance opposites

This is the time to see very clearly and practically what is no longer working in our life, and what needs to go, and where we need to let go of the 'dead wood'; it could involve projects, creative endeavours, relationships and friendships, that are no longer serving us. We need to be aware not to become too nit-picky or overwhelmed by the actions of others around us . We may find ourselves mixing with some old pals, yet wishing others well but also understanding there is only so much time and space and if they are no longer relevant to our life or our circumstances we wish them well and know it is time to let go.

We now need to have different pursuits or interests then we have to comply with the relevance of life as it is now. That gives all the time and the space to physically ground the ideas that have been forming over the last few weeks, but only If we have clarified our intentions and have clearly defined our desires, wishes and hopes To do this we must acknowledge that which we don’t want to make space for so that we are available for the old to merge with the new seamlessly.

Instead of striving for something at the top of the ladder, strive for understanding of the circle of energy that makes up our new “now” reality. We need to understand the non-linear as well as the obvious. It is a statement of where we are now within ourself and within the updated family circumstances. My eldest son said on a recent visit his doctor he had suggested that my son was no longer a young man and high impact exercise might be replaced by low impact. He said if he was no longer young it came as a shock to realise must be ancient! We had a good laugh but its also a truism!

Old family ‘tags’ may be lovely, funny or they may contain darkness, poison and ‘wrong’ living, it may have been ‘right’ once but is no longer. We have to transmute one stage to another or we will be unable to ‘fit’ in today’s world as we too easily become a round peg in a square hole. The grace to be where we are is a skill that needs constant update! We need to take an overall view as and so create interactions that contain vulnerability, courage love and reconnection. If any resist we are unable to move on collectively. Make the choice and don’t sit on the fence it is no longer the easy option. If we don’t choose to change we get forced to! Commit to update and it becomes inspiring right where we are.
Suggested self check:
1.       What activities are life supporting with circumstances surrounding you at this time?
2.       What sort of obstructions are occurring; do those obstructions need to be pushed through or are you being advised by life to leave well alone and let them go?
3.       Is the space around you clear of clutter? If it is not then work to clear a space - your rubbish is someone else treasure so if you haven’t used something within the last year let it go or chuck it!
4.       The physical activity above reflects your emotional state and your intellectual activities as well so decide what you no longer wish or appear to be being allowed to involve yourself within and action the clearing.
5.       Make ‘friends’ with the time it takes to affect change and be realistic until you understand what is required. Have the flexibility to operate a trial and error system.

Postscript Apologies I have been off line for nearly two weeks due to a server fault. Finally last night the problem was put right by the 3rd engineer who has been on sight and that was after 5 hours! So to those who have been neglected, whose birthdays have been missed sincere apologies. To emails that have not been answered - i’m trying to catch up and so on. That is also the reason this blog is shorter than usual, I’ll try to do better next month. All good wishes ……..

Get with the Program

Sat, 30 Sep 2017 14:08:00 GMT

GET WITH THE PROGRAM

It’s Harvest time of the year we all gather the foods we need at every level of being physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual to carry us into the next phase with gratitude and grace. When we trust the unknown within, we open ourself to more of an understanding and connection with the subtle realms, via our subtle bodies. Trusting the unknown within means trusting our impulses, trusting our actions, trusting our perception, and trusting that what is not yet known. We coming into resonance within us as to what is required of us next. What is not yet known is divine, magical, loving and dear to our heart. What is unknown is how life is going to unfold and open us to more awareness of our divinity within. When an unknown is dangerous or not beneficial to us, our physical, emotional and mental bodies alert us, if we take notice we keep out of trouble that is avoidable.

Trusting the unknown within us helps us to learn to communicate with the subtle language. It is not as direct and linear as our physical languages. It is not as immediate. It is more about opening into potential. As we begin to trust the unknown within, we are allowing the vast potential within us to begin to blossom. Trusting the unknown within is the difference between expecting that we should already know and knowing that there is a greater divinity within. This keeps us open to expansion. It is important to stay rooted until or unless we have reason to relocate, need yes, whim no!

It is quite common to mostly observe what is wrong, and judge and compare where we are now as wrong, in comparison to what we want to be experiencing. Yet as we focus on the unknown with an inner trust we naturally expand ourself into more divinity in human form. Watch out for impatience and intolerance towards things we find difficult to accept It is not easy to hold that vastness within the present moment. It is not easy to observe the world around us and maintain our unique vibration. And yet, that is the challenge that we are embarking upon moment by moment—looking beyond the obvious, beyond the physical expression that is occurring now, and into the future that we are wanting to create. To accomplish that in a grounded ‘beingness’, we become empowered connecting deeply with Life. Life evolves in directions that support Life even when we don’t fully understand what is going on. It is a deep knowing within that whatever is occurring in this now moment has been built from the foundation of the past and it has created this perfect now moment that is building the future.

And yet, all of that future is already within us. That is the linear experience we have already experienced. Yet we are also the vast experience—that deep knowing that life evolves in ways that supports all life. That evolution is not always easy, but it always occurs. Nature will always replenish itself, and like animals we adjust to the needs of nature and what it can provide. Humanity is learning this on an external levels. We already know this very naturally. The hardest of rocks is shaped by the softest of water. But that water is not timid. It flows where it wants to flow regardless of the rock. It just takes its natural path of least resistance. This is working with the subtle realm, and in doing so we will find that as we open to the divinity that is within us, we deepen the levels of trust within us and loose our fear of the unknown. We learn that the momentum of life is carrying us in a different direction when we accept that this is so we allow the path of least resistance to show us the next flow available.

It is important not to compromise our integrity and our truth. We slow down to eventually speed up again. We start to think what we want to say before we speak having worked out what outcome we would like before we say anything. Only when we do the emotional preparation do we find we are heard more easily this way of being serves all. If we do what we are doing with passion, creativity and it serves a purpose success and abundance is achieved for all. This way of being and what we subsequently decide to do is a sacred union which will bear fruit given the space to grow and the time needed - trust and it will be so.

Suggested self-check:

Are the wounds we have experience within real or an illusion?

Are we willing to let old wounds go or do we cling to them like an identification badge?

With all the polarities meeting and sometimes clashing just now are we willing to be a part of the solution or do we add to the problems?

Are we willing to do what we can for ourself (and for others) or do we expect a ‘special deal’?

Are we modest within what we want or do we consider others around us?

Are we humble and grateful or are we always wanting to have ‘more’?

Have we let go to the level of our capacity to enable the next phase to enter in?

Embracing the Highs and Lows

Tue, 29 Aug 2017 16:36:26 GMT

Embracing the highs and the lows

it is now time to stand up tall and believe in yourself. The new moon encourages us to be PROUD of who we are and what we are doing in the world. It gives us the courage and commitment to follow our hearts, enabling us to truly accept ourselves. We are all born with a purpose and this is the time to start to fully live in alignment with your truth, without fear or shame. we all have a deep vision of who we are within us that benefits the whole of humanity. Each one of us has the power to change the unfolding planetary story we are writing, but only if we choose to share our skills and talents to serve others, rather than for purely personal gain. Selfless service helps us to rebuild our self esteem and raise our vibration. This is the time to stand up strong, unafraid and unashamed to be who we are. However, real compassionate leadership starts from WITHIN. Our sense of self-awareness and worthiness increases when we realise our place in the world is important and worthwhile. If we become too arrogant we can fall flat on our faces so try not to get involved in drama, our own or that of others. Stop hiding in the shadows, afraid of who you once were buying into the loneliness drama, and get out into the world with your unique gifts and skills. This is the ONLY way we can help make this world a better place.

We’ve been going through what is sometimes referred to as a black moon, when a month prior we try to find the best, most up to date form of discernment. First we must experience intense quiet where we are as still as possible. It’s a time to listen not to speak, to reflect not to act, to go within rather than run around like a bull in a china shop. The entire universe is contained within so we as the microcosm learn the entire microcosmic self is a direct reflection of the macrocosm. We are a thread woven in time and in space as we pass through life and reflect the macrocosm. As the next new moon comes around it sparks our creativity and we bring learned wisdom to bear. We have to be patient and have fortitude and commitment which will fuel the engine of fulfilment.

New opportunities that occur to early can falter before they begin. The a much-anticipated new start will fast lose its shine, this will leave us discouraged and disorientated. This is all to common if we are ‘in a hurry’ we must pave the way as we highlight where adjustments maybe needed so we make haste more slowly giving an adequate time to review and instigate any alterations prior to the birth of the new phase. We may experience the change as a gentle breeze or a mighty storm, whatever we learn to embrace the unknown whether it trickles in or it is experienced as a flood through our life as it must and it will.

Surrender is the name of the game. During this month we have acknowledged the work done with I-Sky we were 21! We had a celebration entitled ‘Passing the Baton’ and that is just where it is at! Guru Dharam, Darryl O’Keeffe and I have actively worked together for 21 years (although we’ve known each of a lot longer) and now it is time for the ‘grown children’ to have their turn as we step back. They become self-responsible and with increasing awareness and it is time for us to applaud and acknowledge those in service who are making an effort. A fuller ‘menu’ which may or may not appeal to others, but it gives all the chance to allow for a more democratic structure and so a stronger base. We’re aware some may succeed, some may not. We have always had a policy not to dictate but to encourage, both in mainstream markets and more specialist ones. If it is in line with the requirements of the moment each will have success: if not it will be back to the drawing board! Last weekend we came from a track record that speaks for itself, now it is the turn of those who come after us and we move more into an advisory role. We cannot and must not become dogmatic, To communicate with the ability to come from our core is essential now. If we are in our centre we become our own advertisement. If our intention is clear we can afford to accommodate others with respect, they will find out for themselves in the fullness of time if boundaries are adequate or not. If we are unable to enable others we become dictatorial and will lose our connections with them and our ability to mediate between the Management Upstairs and people seeking but who have not yet found what they are looking for’

Time to question how deeply do we dare to love ourselves? If the Management Upstairs love us enough to put us here who are we to question it? Then we ask how readily do we express love and appreciation and where does our focus lie. To engage with others we have to be honest with ourselves and with others as to where our strengths and weaknesses are and acknowledge our gifts and challenges, only when we engage with intensity can we then lighten up and consequently work with a light touch. This may require the old to move out of our space so as to make room for others to move in. Are we different when we are alone as opposed to when we are with others? We are being asked to recognise our contribution within the lives of others, to do that we must acknowledge them. No false propaganda is acceptable we need to have walked the talk through time and have been tempered by the tides of living. We can’t do that if we demand to much attention from others if we haven’t offer attention to them. We may think our contributions are recognised but then how well do we recognise those who have contributed to us?

One of my teachers said to me when I was having a moan to him about the demands of teaching, travel, children etc. “Until it doesn’t bother you, they will be there and increase demand on you. When it really doesn’t bother you only then do you get a choice as to how to proceed.” Wise words and as I look back I really recognise the benefits and the learning I gained from one and all. A great lesson learned in humility and modesty! Leading from in-front too easily becomes dictatorship, leading from behind may not received recognition short term but everyone benefits and why should we think we deserve the limelight anyway? A true democracy acknowledges the skills of all as the whole moves forward together playing their role rather than trying to be who they are not.

Suggested self-check:

1. Do we try to lead because we are self-deluded and feel comfortable or can we really guide with wisdom and grace. If we can we need control nothing, manipulate nothing. Time will tell and students and family will be quick to point it out to us if we’re willing to listen and take notice. Are we?

2. Are we willing to open our heart to life in all it’s forms rather than just try to follow the path we would wish.

3. Do we appreciate our divine authority and respond and acknowledge that in others within all avenues of life?

4. In what ways can we inspire others to be authentic. We can’t if we are not authentic ourselves, are we at all times or just when we perceive ourselves to be the ones working?

5. How deeply can we respect ourself even when things do not appear to be going according to plan?

6. Does our life glorify ego or illuminate the collective?

7. How do we manage when things do not appear to be going our way or we feel rejected and insecure?

DOES THE MICRO REFLECT THE MACROCOSM OR VICE-VERSA?

Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:17:59 GMT

In moments of fear and uncertainty we may feel restless, stuck, and frustrated about a situation we have no control over, issues suddenly come to the surface. We can also be a bit tactless and insensitive creating unintended bad feeling, so we need to make sure we think before we speak. We can also be blindly optimistic about a situation, so we need to use our intuition before we act. The best way of flowing is to be willing to be as flexible as possible, and take opportunities as they arise in the moment, to transform the chaos into creativity. For this we need to be patient and compliant.

There certainly is a collective shift going on. Easy to see this illustrated throughout the world. It is a bit like the active person who is moving and shaking, strutting around busily finding they suddenly get older, have an accident or whatever being sidelined to enable others starting out to take their place. Alternatively when the kids grow up and leave home and make their mark having experiences we know nothing about. Old connections may fade or strengthen but WE don’t know which is which or what is what as yet.

It shakes us up we may loose our balance as the status quo has changed, or we may have visual disturbance both In one way we are anxious and want to provoke physical manifestation and understanding, on the other hand we yearn for past familiarity. The first requires us to anticipate the future (which we can’t) in the second option we need to let go of the past, we may know this internally yet it is not time yet to fully understand the implications. Maybe others who surround us, or will surround us need more time or circumstances need more preparation. Time to get off the case and ‘do the day’!

We need to be more spontaneous, laugh more loudly, and have as much fun as possible. Make time to have an adventure, go into nature, and enjoy the summer. Stretch imagination and intellect by taking a course, classes, or attending a talk or workshop on a subject that fascinates and excites you, or dropping without guilt things in which we have lost interest in altogether.

Take the situation of today and mould it into something that’s beautiful for you now. In dire, difficult circumstances, anchor and celebrate all that’s around. Claim love of the Management Upstairs and of love if you can do this compassion with fill and surround. Then just keep on going!

In the bigger picture three powers (United States of America, Russia and Great Britain) form an important energetic triangle within which, major conflicts are being precipitated fundamentally affecting the destiny of humanity. Once there is a free circulation and a true understanding within their own borders, and between them, then world peace will be assured. In these three nations, Russia, United States of America and Great Britain, three major divine aspects are being brought into manifestation, laying the foundation for a new world order. All three are of equal importance: Great Britain we need to demonstrate right human government and right use of Power; from the United States of America right human relations which bring right use of love and wisdom; and from Russia correct use of the mind and intelligent application of Intelligence.

Suggested self-check:

Do we dictate terms if we feel thwarted?
Do we try to ‘rule the world’ or demonstrate a revised way of being, then wait patiently to see if others agree through time?
Are we loving towards all others even when our wisdom appears to fall on deaf ears?
Are we wise in our expectations and patient as we wait to see if our policies are fed back to us as if it was their idea in the fullness of time?
Do we try to dominate situations by getting aggressive?
Can we come up with viable solutions when faced with some issue we do not like?
Are we competitive trying to our own way creating an “I’m ok shame about you” situation?

Making friends with uncertainty

Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:25:11 GMT

Who are we now? Right now each moment seems different - peace, excitement, fatigue, confusion, energy, clarity, irritation, with moments of revising understanding, is the full spectrum of love being revised within us? Maybe we find our balance affected or is it our eyes going in and out of focus? During this adjustment we need to relax and be more flexible, if we over focus on one aspect we get in the way of flow.

We have been dredging up almost primal energies which connect us to our primal status. On the one hand we may seek wealth, fortune, inner peace and wisdom; on the other safety, security, desire and personal satisfaction. Are we as we would wish to be and do we really believe it will improve our quality of life? So often as we satisfy one desire many more come in to take their place. We’re trying to temper our ego so it compliments our soul, if we try to eliminate one in favour of the other it just won’t work, rather it will set up conflict.

Many people have been experiencing strong desire maybe in the form of frustration, greed, grasping what we think we want or competing with another as we jockey for what we think might be a better position. Are we stubbornly pursueing our desires in spite of them not being in our best interest, if so we will be thrawted. Better to nurture desires that nurture our interests and which enhance our insights. How we manage our desires and respons to other is key.

If we assume we have a right to have and get whatever we want we throw tantrums when life does not deliver. The same if we place our wants above everyone else’s as we expect other to dance to our tune. The energy around us is potentially disruptive yet it is linked to raw unmitigated impersonal power. How we tame these wild ‘horses’ depends on our style. We may tend to try to subtly manipulate people into our way of thinking; we may be outspoken assuming our word should be law and the thing to play others like they are puppets on our strongs. If others don’t afford us the respect we think we are due we start to sulk! If we just do our thing without regard to others we detach from all others rather than just being selective so our input is relevant to who and where we find ourselves right now. If we disregard all others we trample others hopes and dreams as we get in their way.

If we listen rather than talk we start to hear what is and what is not relevant to our status. A quiet mind hears whispers and sees glimpses that give possible So those who shout or those who direct us what to see get in our way as they try to trample our will towards their self-interests while ignoring us. Don’t disregard the gentle or dismiss them as worthless. The quiet but those who are nevertheless truthful and trustful are the humble who will come to the fore from this time on.

Suggested self-check:

Do you feel the MU and the Earth within you have reunited in updated form within you?
Do you recognise those who speak their truth in life as opposed from those who just talk about it?
Have you made a request regards the world you wish to inhabit as opposed to those you really don’t?
Do you feel your divine self truly lives within regardless of disciplines you may have studied in the past have you owned the essence and released all else?
Are you ready and willing to work with what comes rather than making exaggerated plans?
Are you able to remain quiet and calm even when you have to challenge something you are not in agreement with?
Can you identify those whose card is ‘marked’ from The Management Upstairs?

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Wed, 17 May 2017 10:17:33 GMT

We have the opportunity to deepn our reality, increase in confidence and soar in ways that are unfamiliar to us. Sometimes described as soul retrieval as we integrate fragments into a new cohesive whole, we sift the ingredients, so to speak, and convert them into a genuine feeling of inner completion. This is the culmination of sifting what we need from old experience and coupling it with what is possible now. Meeting it head on allows for an important rewiring of all levels of being so as to meet new experience with an attitude of anticipation, so allowing our life force to be rewired and focused towards new expression outwardly in the service of all as we begin to understand what is required of us now.

Many have been experiencing fear of late, some from within, some as a result of what has been being demonstrated by world events. All bringing about the degree of tension required to break though into different states. We must not lack empathy or connection in order to accelerate our growth so we require a level of detachment that allows us to look past the obvious and into pure potential. If our potential includes a capacity to love and to care we connect with what is required.

So now we are at a stillpoint, a little like having breathed in we have a point when nothing appears to be happening prior to breathing out once more. However at the stillpoint it is a time when we are gathering energy. It is necessary to honour that moment of inaction but it is an essential time as one thing feeds another. The connection point is between what was and what will be. Now the point is what we are whispering to ourself within ourself. First we need to take notice of our focus for we must maintain a powerful inner realm that sustains the beauty of our life even if the circumstances are somewhat difficult to manage.

With the festival of the Buddha (May 10) we learn to surrender to reality as it is rather than trying to live as we think things ought to hae been. As we break through old fear we go down to greater depths within ourselves, and we let go of what what no longer serves so as to get with the new updated programmes. It can be a profound experience as we shed old skins but prior to this we have to find the courage to face within ourselves what we’ve been hiding. Painful maybe but very liberating especially if we have been in denial regards choices we may have made in the past. Time to forgive ourselves as well as others and move on in greater wisdom, as beyond the chaos comes new order.

Suggested self check:

Do you trust yourself not to make other people responsible for your state of mind?

Do you punish others by actions, tone of voice or ancient dogma?

Do you sacrifice yourself or lay a guilt trip if you are feeling bad?

Do you self motivate by taking exercise, keeping yourself occupied rather than expecting others to contribute to your state of mind?

Are your expectations realistic within the circumstances of the moment?

Are you truthful and trustful towards those closest to you?

Are you able to work on a need to know basis rather than ‘gossip’?

Growing up and moving on!

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 08:49:03 GMT

Are you an old soul? If you are you have probably come to the understanding that you don’t know as much as you once thought you did! The changes we are going through now are NOT repeated history. We personally, and also all in the planetary sense where things are happening in ways that have never been experienced before.

It is time for us to pay attention if we are to gain the peace of purpose. What do we choose to condone, what and who do we want to support? How can we involve ourselves from now on? The newly activated potentials are beginning to show up in the physical worlds. It takes courage to feed what we consider good and true. It also takes courage to walk away, preferably without comment from those things, people or environments that appear toxic to us. We cannot save the world as we don’t know what is required for it! We can be very practical and use our skills to the benefit of others if we are called to do so. We should not criticise others unless we know what we are talking about.

If we are patient life will show us what is ending and no longer practical for us to involve ourselves within. Then, if we pay attention we will be shown a revised path that we are being advised to take as we shift into an updated form of unity. As one area compresses itself so another expands. True for time and for spaces. New seeds have been sown and it requires we revise and change our responses to those change. We don’t tell the Invisible Worlds how it should be (although we may have had a very good try on occasion!) As the new begins to emerge all we can do is to be as good humoured as we are able. So we begin to see where we fit in now (if at all). Important to listen to what is said to us until we know the way we should go.

Time to reflect rather than to react, respond not defend one is interactive the other is ego. We need to bring gifts into important relationships and let past expectations we may have placed on others go once and for all. Self enquiry rather than our judgements may be uncomfortable at times but it is an essential practice now. It is a part of ‘growing up’.

As many of you will be aware I have had a long and close association with Guru Dharam and Darryl O’Keeffe who started i-Sky International 21 years ago. We had all been friends for many years before that. Having observed each others progress, them with i-Sky and me with Second Aid we decided to work with each other as we all had the same intention although our presentations differed, not better or worse one with one another as we were not competing for custom. We were aiming to compliment and give more comprehensive mix and match service to others.

Why did we do it? We all had responses that accommodated and we had a track record individually that was proven to serve many, giving trust and respect one for another. It was time! Now our work association is 21 and we hope it has given those who came across one, two or all of us the key to many doors. There are many paths that lead to a town centre and we would like to hear about yours if you are willing to share it to encourage others. Especially so if what you got from us has contributed and you have taken it in a direction of your choosing. One of the things I love about my grown children is that they all work in completely different areas and carry the ‘otherness’ with them.

As a part of entrusting the baton of living to the upcoming adults we pay tribute to those who have grown and flourished in their own right. We are compiling a video diary of those who want to share their learning and subsequent knowledge to others as a form of encouragement and support. This can be done by sending a video clip regards what you are up to now to admin@i-sky.net or telephone the office on 01635 523900 to be added to a list when a friend and colleague may choose to interview you.

Suggested self check:

Are you able to surrender your past activities, pass the baton on and await what is suggested next?

Do you trust yourself not to interfere with those who take over what you are leaving off?

Will you only offer advice if you are asked for it?

Do you talk with colleagues openly to compare notes and to ask how they perceive your revised role developing?

Are you prepared to hear they may not see a role for you, or they may suggest you take a different route altogether or inform you that they are.

Are you flexible, test your body even if it creaks and protests a little it is an indicator of your mind. Flow gently, no staccato moves, try observing if one side of the body is stiffer than the other. , then stretch is high as is comfortable and bend in the same manner.

State your willingness to surrender to what is required next, let go of pre-conceptions and misconceptions and allow all to become new.
