“For even more than doers, we are deciders.
And once the decision is clear, the doing becomes effortless". ~Ralph Blum

This month looks to be quite a doozy, as Lucie pointed out in Circle this week. The funny thing is that the challenges will be coming from Within. Meanwhile, we are again being offered the most support, love and encouragement to make the SHIFT to be more aligned with our purpose and true Self than ever.
That doesn’t make it any easier when the shift involves letting go beliefs, emotions, and stories that we have built our whole identity and life on up to now! AND…letting go of all these IS as easy as choice.
The simplicity of this shift is what’s key. The question is “What is it I need & require to BE my SELF in this world?” The answer is recognizing what makes us vibrate higher or lower, that’s it. The only thing we are responsible for is choosing the vibration.
Lucie says right now the ONLY thing we have control over is how we fold the laundry…!

PS – You may feel grounding is challenging. Walk outside for 5 minutes feeling connected through the top of your head & feeling the tap root from your first chakra to the sun in the center of the earth.

The secret to Balance

9/26/2014

Comments

Dear Ones –
So, did you balance an egg Monday evening?
What did you experience?
Did you find any interesting beliefs with your abilities?…your luck? ..or that of other’s abilities?
Did you have FUN?

…My brother shared a way to get the egg to stand at ANY time…It requires SALT.

Yes, the substance we use to purify. By placing our hands in the salt and setting the intention to release negativity and to ground, we are blessed by the salt’s ability to soak up all that does not serve us.

How interesting that the substance we use for purification can assist in Balance?

* Just place a small pile/circle of salt on a flat surface, the egg will stand.

* Blow the excess away, and you have achieved balance!

You may want to try this exercise again, and see how it effects your own perceptions of balance. See how the two objects work together…Collaboration is everything!

Please post in comments below or on facebook what your experiences are…

Blessings & Love!

Lucie

What's in a Name...?

In Circle this week’s cycle, Lucie made a few very important points:

·         More & More we will be called upon to hold the container for others & ourselves. It is not really an option to set it down and forget it anymore…our purpose is to stay on task while listening to our guidance and wisdom, stay in the center of our wheel accepting help from all directions, elements, kingdoms.

·         Being grounded allows us to hold more energy, light, and/or feeling - Otherwise it just washes through and is gone. Don’t wait till the end of the day to evaluate where you are. Once an hour, take three deep breaths, stretch, do a body check, etc…

·         Introduce yourself before Prayer - *see if you get different results*

This last one really jumped out at me. How often DO we introduce ourselves? Depending on our contact with others, I know it varies. However, It made me think about the fact that I don’t introduce myself to my friends…they already know who I am. I hardly ever claim my-self to mySelf, it seems odd to me. So how do our guides know whom they are coming to assist? How do we claim our Selves in our prayers? How do we communicate with spirit? Do we just assume that spirit knows who we are?

Look at your own name. Look up its meaning. Think about how formal you are with yourself and others’ names. I think this is a really interesting and fun experiment to practice through these next couple of weeks.
As we continue the gathering of the *Harvest of our Selves* and our Intentions we planted this spring… think about how that reveals who you really are. The harvest can sometimes look very different from the planting…especially when you are harvesting the wisdom of yourself on this path of purpose and Love.

Gathering the Harvest of Self

8/20/2014

All I can say about this time we are living in, right now........ is WOW, just…wow. It seems as if everything is conspiring to speak to us. The universe, the animal kingdom, the planets, …our selves…

This week in circle, we talked about the details of where we “are” in terms of planets, phases, seasons. We are just about to enter a New Moon next Monday, August 25th, in Virgo. The Sun enters this same sign this Saturday, August 23rd, and the last solar cycle before Autumn Equinox begins. This is the harvest, the gathering time. We begin to pull together all we have watered, visioned, created & nurtured. Gathering and receiving all the experiences that support our purpose is what this time is about. Are you ready to receive?

The support available to us is astounding, even in the tiniest of ways. First let me show you the basic energies holding us in support right now: We have a trine with Uranus (Connection with Great Spirit), Mercury (Communication from Guides & Answers), and Mars (Primal Force, movement toward Right Action) – All lining up with a quixunct to Saturn (Ancient Wisdom, Seven Generations), bringing challenges, redirection, adjustments and diversions. Don’t think stops & starts are wrong right now, even with all that is going for us, stops and halts have purpose and reason. All is in alignment to put us in touch with the sacred…and our self.

When something slows you down, ground and check your space. What emotions are manifesting, and where does it take you out of your joy and peace. Check the directions see if something calls to you. Check to see if elements or one of the four kingdoms are making themselves known. I was craving water something terrible at Circle Monday…Ha! It was “faith” (the lesson of the West) that ended up revealing itself to me later this week!

On my way here today, I found myself “stuck” behind a driver going *gasp* the speed limit. I grew agitated and impatient, wanting to be where I had not arrived yet. Then I remembered the part about hold-ups, and took a couple deep breaths and thought about where my impatience came from. It came from a lack of trust (faith) that I was going to get myself where I wanted to be exactly when I wanted to be there…which was NOW. I was trying to control it and do it all myself. I let my grip on the steering wheel relax and decided to let my guides help with the drive. I concentrated on my grounding and working the automobile, but allowed the rest to be taken care of.

….Immediately, the driver turned…all other cars on the road were gone, I sailed through several green lights all the way through the busiest intersections in town! Even when I did hit a red light…I realized that it wasn’t a blockage, just a slow down for safety. I was still going to “get there” and five minutes of stress give or take were only going to get in the way of my thoughts. This way, I glided with my guides the rest of the ride and enjoyed the view and the revelation along the way…wow, right?

THAT is exactly how this energy is working for us right now. It’s right here for us to harvest and receive, if we just allow for it and pay attention. The moments, thoughts, ideas and feelings we catch ourselves in this week are revealing to us more and more about our selves and our alignment with our purpose.

This is a great time to start a new pattern, change old beliefs for new ones, harvest your best self in the moment – While being fully supported by the Universe/Creator.

Once you receive the messages, watch how they reinforce each other. I realize that just the revelation of my feelings of impatience vs. faith is just the tip of the cookie. I’m sure the next week will have me see this reflection is a thousand different ways, big & small. All I can do is stay grounded and keep taking the next step…

Both Circles this Monday (women’s & men’s) were visited by chickadee. By the second circle, they were even flying around inside the tent and sitting on the branches nearby during meditation. The chickadee medicine is “cheerful & truthful expression.” According to Ted Andrews’ book, Animal Speak, there are seven types of chickadees, representing the sacred 7 - Associated with the seven rays of power, seven planets, seven energy bodies of a human being, and the seven energy centers.

These tiny messengers are all around us. In finding our truth, we receive more joy in being here on the planet, and our expression of this joy radiates to All. Wow, just wow. We are so lucky to be right here, right now, receiving our harvest!

A-ho!

Fight Like a Girl...

This Monday, we had another beautiful circle on the terrace in summer’s full bloom and beauty. So much information… I know that while my *mind* heard certain parts and may not have caught everything…my *soul* was taking notes. For I have closed my eyes and had visions for the rest of the day.

We talked about how things feel so wobbly right now, how it is a reminder for us to stay grounded into that Sun in the Center of the Earth, that solid core of Gaia's Heart is our only anchor amidst the changing polarity that’s happening all around us. More importantly, we are dealing with Mars energy on a huge level right now. It started around the end of July, and looks to be impacting us directly for some time, maybe even a couple years…which is good because we have a LOT of work to do with understanding War / Peace, in our world and in ourselves.

Mars is usually seen as such a masculine energy, so the question as we are shifting into a feminine paradigm becomes - how do we use that from a different angle? The opposite to war is peace, simple, right? We all do battle in our lives and inside ourselves on so many levels. How do we choose peace instead? Recognize that the forceful action of the Mars energy doesn’t have to be violent and aggressive… It can be the fire that fuels our Right Action…and Right Action comes from holding the container of Self, Open Heart, and THEN the next move becomes obvious.

We are challenged in this, especially since we humans have needed to use warrior energy for millennia. If you are in survival, it is necessary. But we are no longer there, we have reached that place where we are nurtured and supported constantly – by Mother Earth, by our Guides, by our own Souls Purpose. We get to use this support to really investigate how we can flip war into peace, how we can stop battling our selves and those forces we think are not in alignment with what we want. When we hit a wall, we no longer have to beat our heads against it, or try to knock it down. We can take the time to see that maybe the wall is there to change our direction, maybe it’s there to make us stop, and breathe for a bit, hold the container and ASK our Spirit, Great Spirit and Guides…what IS the next step? That is the path to peace…holding for the guidance from Divine.

I have been seeing faces of the Feminine flashing through my mind today: Mary, Amaya, Mother Theresa, Mary Magdalene, Queen Elizabeth, Joan of Arc, Indira Ghandi, and more whom I do not know their names, but their faces are familiar to me. I think they are here to remind me I *do* have support, I do have examples of how that strong feminine looks, and she is not always Kali the Destroyer, or Boudicca the Warrior Queen. In fact, the need for a woman to wear the warrior face is no longer needed. We have power without having to flex our muscles to show it. Maybe that is our pathway to Peace…
