WOW!!

Look at what is going on in the United States!  My phone has been ringing off the hook with people calling for clarification and guidance about what is happening emotionally and energetically right now.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, fearful or just plain angry … you are NOT alone.  There are thousands, hundreds of thousands of other people who feel the same way.

Last night I watched the news in Denver as thousands took to the streets protesting over the results of the presidential election this week.  I heard about what’s happening in Oregon and other places around the country.  They protested on the Highway and temporarily shut it down.

Now I rarely watch the news, but energetically I was compelled to tune in and see if I could offer some vibrational support.  I would encourage you to do the same.  If you don’t often watch the news (like me), now would be a good time to do it.

I think of my TV as a ‘sending tool’ and create an energetic space of light and love.  If you attended Healing Sounds at any time over the last 20 years, you have a little globe of the earth (like me).  I put it on the coffee table in front of me and lit a candle, placed a crystal there, and set my intention to send light, love and healing to the state I live in, the United States, and the greater world.

I intentionally ‘send’ good vibrations to the media in the hopes that they will actually provide some kind of factual reporting in the near future.

I send ‘good vibrations’ to the people who are so angry and have been incited and encouraged to act out on that anger publically.

I send ‘good vibrations’ to those who are at home and depressed and worried about the current state of affairs and what is looming on the horizon when the next President of the USA takes office.

I surround the state I live in with love and light and emanate those ‘good vibrations’ out into the rest of the country.

I surround the USA with love and light and those ‘good vibrations’ for peace, courage in the face of adversity, and harmony and love for and with all beings.

I send those ‘good vibrations’ and loving thoughts out to the rest of the world who are experiencing their own drama in politics (England and others) and have uncertainty and fear around the state of affairs in the USA.

This will help you not feel so helpless at this time.  It will empower you to feel like you are doing something to assist and provide the kind of support you want to see for women, diversity, different races, cultures and people that make up the American public.

I encourage you to take the time to check in emotionally, physically, spiritually and energetically with your Self (inner or Higher) at this time.

If you have unresolved feelings, then give yourself permission to resolve them (or not) into a place of calmness and peace.

“Bring all your energy into present time.  Don’t go ahead into the future too far.  Today is good.  Don’t focus on the past.  Today is good.  In this present moment, you are safe.  Bring all your energy into this present moment.  Let go of anything pulling you out of this place of safety and peace.  As you release lower vibrational feelings of fear, anger and frustration, consciously bring in the energy of peace and serenity and trust into the present moment.”

I would light some sage, clear the space, and chant the “Violet Flame Mantra”.

When I feel complete, I bring all my energy back into my personal space.  I express gratitude for the blessing.  I blow out the candle.

I shut off the TV and put a beautiful cloth over it until I want to watch sports, a good movie, or use it as a transmitter again …

Blessings!  I hope you find this helpful.  Please feel free to comment and or reach out to me.

The Presidential Election

I have a few simple questions?

When has it become okay in the United States of America to incite violence between different races and nationalities?

When did it become okay to openly degrade women and to presume to take away their hard-won rights to make decisions regarding their own bodies?

When did it become okay to openly mock diversity and cultural differences?

In what world is it okay to mock an individual with special needs or physical impairments?

When did the United States of America become a laughing stock in the global perspective for CHOOSING the current candidates as the ‘cream of the crop’ to be considered to take the highest office in our country?

Do you really feel an affinity with this election and candidates?  What do we do about it?

You’ll notice I didn’t get into specifics about either one.  I’ve just asked some questions that I can’t believe have not been asked before now.

I have to admit I’m embarrassed by our Presidential Candidates.  Recently when traveling internationally, I realized how much of a joke other people think the USA is right now.  They laugh and say, “Really?  This is your country’s idea of a Presidential Candidate?”

Where is dignity?  Where is compassion?  Where are Wisdom and Intelligence?

This is the first election I’ve seen where it is okay to swear on television, during debates and in public appearances.  Where has CLASS and MUTUAL RESPECT gone?

If you are like me, you are making sure you vote and praying for the best to happen for our country.

It’s been hard for me as I would not ‘choose’ either presidential candidate.  The dilemma is I don’t want to throw away my vote either.  That could be more detrimental than not voting at all.  I’ve sat in reflection and considered the volatility of each candidate.  I’ve looked at the mudslinging and accusations that are everywhere, and from whence they came.

I invite you to consider the following before you vote:

• Your vote CAN make a difference.
• If you don’t vote, you are saying you don’t care.
• Who do you feel is the most stable, wise and compassionate leader for our nation?
• Vote accordingly!

Good luck and thanks for reading and/or commenting on this post.

I’m writing this post today to reflect on the ‘times’.  I’m hoping my comments have some relevance for you and maybe even stimulates a conversation or response.

Weather

First up, the weather is finally starting to change.  Have you noticed the crispness in the air?  Maybe the falling leaves have caught your attention?  They’ve certainly caught mine as my yard is buried.  I’ve already cleaned them off twice, and I’ve got to do it again.

I have a longing for warm days; the sun shining so hotly that sunscreen is in high demand.  Being someone who loves the sun, sea and surf, as the weather turns colder and the winds get stronger, I start looking for a cave to hide in.

Daylight Savings Time is a BIG deal for me.  Fall Back!  That is the message of this time.  Retreat.  Step away from the television!  Step away from the Election!  Football is taking over the world for a couple of months.

I loved living in Arizona where such archaic rituals are no longer inflicted on the public.  The time changes were initiated for farmers initially and then for commerce.  What if we allowed our natural body cycles to determine when we got up and when we went to bed?  What if we naturally followed the light (sunrise and sunset) and earth cycles?

I’m so grateful the warm weather hung on for as long as it did.  We were spoiled with an extended Indian Summer this year in Colorado.  Were you?  Yes, we need the moisture.  Can we have that in rain vs. snow?

For all those folks who ski … I know you are making faces at me right now :O

Universal month in numerology = 1

Time for new beginnings!  What do you want to plant for this upcoming year?  New growth, new seeds for the future.  Next year is a universal year of new beginnings.  You want to put energy behind the things you want to manifest that are a reflection of what’s in your heart.

September was all about clearing out the past, karmic patterns and programming that is holding you back.  October is about moving forward in your creation.  A huge shift of what you’ve been feeling.

Libra is the sign of beauty and love and ruled by Venus.  Be beautiful, focus on love, focus on what you love to do.  Be creative.  Get out in nature.  Focus on your creative expression and the things that make you feel good.  The better you feel, the more things you attract that make you feel good.

Relationships are a reflection of your inner world (or struggle).  Do you love yourself?  Are you walking your talk?  Your relationships will be reflecting what you feel about yourself or others.

Be clear about your needs.  Full moon during the second half of the month is where things come to light.  Be confident and creative about initiating new things.  Balance intentions and pay attention to where you are not honoring the truth of who you are and what you are.

I’ve been telling people I work with for years to put yourself first on your list!  If you don’t, then how you manifest will also be last or worse … not even on your own ‘to do’ list.  When you are honoring your Self and being true to what is in your heart or your passion, then you offer that passion and commitment to others and encourage them to do the same.

Stay out of the past right now.  Be present!  If you are in the past and focused on what you didn’t want, you are creating more of that instead of what you DO want.  Make sure you use positive intentions, be pro-active not RE-ACTIVE.

Take action to do something you haven’t done before or put out in the world in a confident way.  You did a lot of work in September and created space for new things to happen.  Set your intentions for what you want to bring into that empty space.  Remember all that clearing work created a vacuum that needs to be filled with something else.  Take charge of what is going to fill that space!  Let go of your fear around this and JUST DO IT!!

BE TRUE TO YOUR SELF.

DEFINE HOW TO CHANGE THE REFLECTION OF YOU THAT THE WORLD IS SEEING AND BELIEVING.

TAKE ACTION!!

It’s been a crazy day!

I’ve been in WordPress and website building mode all day.  And I leave this afternoon for a trip that I’ve been planning for almost two years.

I’m going to Italia!

Although delighting in the magic and mysteries of Italia, I will be checking in, so don’t let that stop you from getting in touch with me.  Just understand it might be a day or two before I get back to you.

Love and laughter,
