CLAIMING PEACE

CLAIMING PEACE
08
DECEMBER 2018
A tree never forgets its roots anymore than I can forget the skin covering my body. Recently I visited my hometown, and made a surprising discovery. I was only there for two full days…to have my annual physical and to check out the burial markers of my parents who both left this world in 2017. I had not been back since their ashes had been placed together 15 months ago and wanted to view their burial markers.

Their resting place is beside a huge tree. Trees have forever been my solace, and this experience visiting the graveyard offered me the most astonishing peace of my life!

As I stood by the tree at dusk with an amazing sunset casting a beam of light onto the ground before me I smiled at the place where the ashes and memories of my parents, my grandfather, and my brother (who died in infancy before my birth) were located.

Just as the mighty oak had to grow beyond its initial roots, I began literally jumping with joy , realizing I, at 66 years old, have grown beyond my own roots. I have walked the pathway away from childhood sadness and confusing experiences into a life of joy and contentment. I laughed as I was jumping onto the cold December ground, remembering my pleasant childhood past laced with the challenges of my perceptions of emotional pain.

Aware that just as the oak was not just its roots, but also the branches, the acorns, the leaves, and the sacred space in which it stands, I was gifted in this cemetery the heart knowledge that I am not only the attachment to my family roots but a sacred conglomerate of my beliefs, my connections to friends/family/ my Creator,and my inner work that has blessed me as I embrace this place of being willing to receive joy!

I claimed my peace on this cold day in December surrounded by spirits of those watching me cry in joy. My Holiday wish is that you claim your own peace in whatever manner you are led as we co-create our present circumstances in our respective journey.

HOME


I know many people who would never dream of leaving their home town, the home that holds all their belongings, or the place they have resided for a very long time.

As the holidays are approaching, my thoughts return to the home of my childhood, those life long memories with my family of origin. Those home connections will never disappear from my mind, but no longer do they define my true home .

I currently refer to home as my sanctuary , a cottage surrounded by acres of woods, wildlife, and a brook nestled in a rural area of Virginia.

For many emotional attachments of friends, familiar community, former places of education, spiritual organizations, art, or music related buildings define home.

My authentic home is located deep within my heart, the place I experience safety, security, peace of mind, and a harmonic welcoming of a genuine soul connection. Home is also being with that handful of people who truly recognize who I am without expectations or judgements.

When I and maybe each of us know within the sacred center of ourselves where and what home really is, we never have to mourn, desire, or search for this missing piece of our existence. Home is closer than our breath!

Welcome home, my friend! I congratulate all of us when we discover we never left home. It was within each of us all along! All we had to do was to embrace it in the present moment.

The Energy of Relationships

Reality is stranger than what your mind has convinced you to believe. It is even stranger than what the majority of our population has bought into. The truth and fact of quantum physics is just this: EVERYTHING is energy and energy is everything!
If more people truly understood that everything is energy, and that all humans carry at all times an individual, unique vibrational code, by becoming aware of your own vibrations and assessing your codes, a whole new world would open to each of us. We could create an individually designed life program that would bring us each more peace of mind, more happiness, more kindness, more loving relationships and situations, and the collective vision for a better world would manifest quickly for all of us!
Through Quantum Physics ,Science shows us the Universe is composed of continuous flowing energy. Energy is everywhere–in human bodies, in plants, trees, and animals, in the homes we reside, in all things. Energy is never destroyed but the vibrational code with the energetic component of each thing can change from low to high or high to low vibrations.
In regards to human relationships we are magnets to the vibrational frequencies that resonate within ourselves. Like attracts like. Relationships we have with bosses, co-workers, romantic partners, friendships, neighborhoods, etc. are created based on our seemingly invisible vibrational codes. We only thought we were attracted in all relationships because of other reasons! When we attract a particular person or situation to us, it is in reality the energy attracting similar, familiar, and resonant vibrational energies. ! When a relationship in any form no longer energetically resonates within a person a terminating ending begins because the vibrational frequency that originally created the attraction has changed!! You might say or hear another say to you: “You have changed.” This is only partially true as it is the vibrational frequency that has changed from a lower vibration to a higher vibration or in the opposite direction.
Have you ever noticed you or another keep repeatedly attracting the same relationship /situation with a different face? We may think a person would be repelled and quickly run instead of entering any relationship of romance, job, friendship, social networking, religious organization, etc. with characteristics of chaotic, destructive patterns that resemble past experiences such as family of origin or prior situations (i.e. emotional abuse, codependency, physical or mental abuse, manipulative behaviors , addictions, or abandonment) . However, because our invisible vibrations are pinging out energy transmissions constantly we will attract the very same relationships we thought we had walked away from years ago. A good example of this is when a person states : My boss is just like my Mother ; My partner acts like my dysfunctional Uncle, etc.
Our vibrational energetic transmissions are really a conglomerate collection of conscious and unconscious beliefs, suppressed emotions and thoughts, and experienced memories of our past that in our present are a cobweb of negative bundled manifestations . Science has proven that many of us are living out of a repeated movie of automatic responses and reactions that we replay stemming from our subconscious mind because we are not operating in the here and now. Knowing this truth demonstrates why those who experienced living in emotional, mental, or other disempowering situations continue to unconsciously attract repeated abusive-destructive situations with familiar actors on the stage of life!
As gloomy as this sounds….WAIT…there is hope! We cannot destroy our past as if it never happened but we can change our vibrational energy frequencies . When we do raise our vibrational frequencies, we will begin attracting different experiences, different types of people, and empowering situations into our life. We will most likely also see old situations and relationships falling by the wayside not because we or they are doing anything wrong, but because the original energy between us is no longer resonating in the same way as it did when we entered the relationship!
How do we raise our vibrations? Here are some ideas:
-State daily aloud 5 things you are grateful for currently in your life. (If you cannot be grateful for what you now have, how can you be grateful for more?)
-Forgive yourself and others ( Remember you and they only acted out of the low energetic vibrations that were present at the time of the experienced creation of events)
– Change your diet to one of clean, nutritious foods and beverages. (What we put into our body either weighs us down or builds us up)
-Burn your energy in a healthy way (Walk, run, swim, do yoga, do Tai Chi or Chi Gong, workout at a gym regularly: Move that body!)
-Work with a Personal Energetic or Spiritual Coach who can help you re-program negative beliefs and self talk that has kept your low vibrations active and stuck for years.
-See a Reiki Master , Sound Healer, or other Alternative Practitioner . (Reiki and other modalities can help to break up low vibrational blocks and assist in raising your vibrational frequencies)

Doing our own inner healing work, purifying and changing subconscious relationship patterns directly and indirectly digested from people/situations/environments, cleansing and transforming layers of unexpressed and unfelt emotions from your auric energy field will empower you to transmit your authentic vibrational signals. As a result, your true energetic tribe will be able to connect and find you at long last. Once we begin choosing to consciously raise our vibrations we will stand together with others doing the same, and we will hold our vision for a peaceful, loving world.

Co-Existing With Grief

I have had my share of losses in my lifetime…two romantic partners whom I walked beside as they left this world , all my uncles and aunts except one, all grandparents, both my parents, several devoted cats and dogs, friendships, jobs, homes, and the list is endless.

No one in my educational settings or in my family of origin taught me anything about how to cope with grieving losses or how to resolve any of them. I have , at times, gone to professional practitioners who helped me find workable techniques when I acknowledged specific losses. There are so many types of losses I never considered until I began extensive traveling. Making connections with strangers, lands I have not previously known, other cultures helped me to understand further about the losses most do not even begin to fathom!

In the past month I have listened as four people I knew intimately shared they were coping well with various losses as I observed they were only stuffing their feelings deep within only to begin acting out of their pain and unresolved grief at inappropriate moments. Each of these people , by the way, also as long as I have known them have demonstrated great efforts to be “in control” of their lives (and often the lives of others!).

Before you jump to the conclusion I am standing in judgment of these people, let me tell you I am fully aware no one can affect me by their actions unless it comes to teach me something about myself! I hold a belief that there is a Spiritual Mirror that exaggerates the actions of others so that I cannot miss it! When I am in Spiritual Alignment with the Divine, I can be grateful for the projections others show me, and take the opportunity of the lesson presented to my Sponge Within who wishes to learn and integrate as much as I can in this lifetime.

The Spiritual Mirror works like this: If someone exaggerates the wonderful qualities I love such as kindness, service to humanity, and compassion and I immediately feel a kindred connection with that person…it is because I have those same qualities within me. When a person demonstrates in a most exaggerated manner things I detest: the illusion of control, unresolved grief, anger, frustration, judgement, pointing the finger at my/other’s behaviors, etc. it is only because I have now or did have those same qualities or defects of character within me that I am not accepting and honoring in myself. To honor my shadow is a wonderful act of courage! Either way….that person comes to teach me more about myself, and I can either thank them in my head or I can find them objectionable.

The unresolved grief I witness in my travels and in my community life show me there is a prevalence in our society of it. In my short 66 years of living I have come to believe that I can either acknowledge my own grief when it comes up in the present moment or I can attempt to practice the illusion of controlling it, stuffing it as deeply within my body as possible . Sooner or later it will come up in a few ways: one is I will pay the consequences of unresolved grief in the creation of physical and/or emotional sickness within my body and spirit ; Two I will vent and act out hurting people I trust and those I do not trust because I am in pain; or three, I will be uncomfortable in my own skin and will ultimately have given up my choice to be at peaceful freedom.

Fortunately, I have FINALLY become willing to develop a daily practice in which I look at my day with as much fine tooth combing as I possibly can before I enter my dreamtime. Secondly I have FINALLY become willing to get real by becoming vulnerable with myself and with all meaningful relationships acknowledging my feelings and actions as they each emerge. Knowing I do not do this perfectly , but knowing I do carry the daily intention to surrender my old ways of thinking and doing, I believe I have a clearer sense on how to co-exist with my own grief on so many levels.

Losses of all types will continue in our worlds and grief will continue to emerge in a spiral on its own terms . Our opportunity is to work with both aspects and co exist by becoming more vulnerable regardless of any fears that live within. I have hope that this old world and its inhabitants has a BIG chance to heal. I walk my journey with that belief.

The Gifts In The Awareness of Duality

I have spent the past month traveling by car from the East Coast of the USA to the desert  lands I love in the Southwest. When I go to certain sacred places in New Mexico I connect with the spirits of the land and waters and enter a high vibrational state of being. I hike alone and sit in nature. Doing this yearly solo retreat empowers me to leave the world as I know it behind, and feeds my soul completely. Going into a meditative alignment with nature is crucial for me, and I wish all people would make the intention to enter a similar sacred journey. Our elder ancestors knew the power of vision quests, being alone in the elements. We have forgotten so much in the name of progress. 

For me, however, going to a high vibrational spiritual center that I enter is so completely opposite from the busy , chaotic world that we each live in. It always takes me a while to integrate back into my home environment. I have a feeling of sadness and emptiness for the first few days of my return. I think this feeling comes from my soul remembering its true nature when I am not distracted by the chaotic world that our planet has become. 

Once I feel grounded and balanced again I am fed new inspirations from the places I have visited. I think spiritual awakenings are like this or at least in my experiences they are! 

Recently a wise friend was discussing with me the duality nature that human beings live out of. She suggested bringing the magical transformative Power of where I have been into the geographic location of where I live. I actually had never considered this possibility for like most of you, I live a majority of my existence in duality , separating myself from the spiritual world in the realm I reside within on a daily basis. 

As I have begun integrating the high vibrational spiritual feelings and experiences with my home base environment I have felt more at ease. I am starting to feel my heart smiling into my soul as I continue in the moment making the intention to not be in two places at once, but to actually live in the high vibrational environment as I stay present in my neighborhood where I reside! 

Learning to listen to the space between our heartbeats as we incorporate the teachings of nature and the planet could be as important and crucial as slowing down to connect with each breath we take! That being said, I think I will start adding those two active disciplines into my daily life. 

Making the intention to first accept my positive side with  my dark shadowy side then adding new disciplines I find that really work not only help me to be an improved version of myself but also may mirror back to the reflection of each of you that I see. Making these soul connections equally with my brothers and sisters who co-create this world with me just seems the right thing to do!

Carry on, my readers as we continue to re-discover the magical elements of this thing we call our life!

Choosing To Release All In The Name Of Personal Freedom

Having experienced in the past three months the deaths of both my elderly parents I was inspired to take a three week adventure to Scotland. This journey turned out to be the greatest transformation of my life! It did include mystical and magical experiences, but even greater than those was the inner transmutation of people and ideas that I previously had hung onto tightly! I have come to believe that an annual thorough house cleaning of my inner being and those I allow to remain in my life is crucial for me to continue on my pathway to personal freedom.

The outer isles of Scotland with her oceans and rivers provided the background for me to reach deeply into my soul’s prior journeys in order for my spirit to soar at its greatest elevations of change. It takes much courage to dive all the way to the bottom levels of one’s existence…to become willing to embrace completely the intentions and motivations of the past.

As I began recovering from feeling the pangs of loss of both my 94 year old parents leaving this earth a mere 27 days apart I simultaneously stepped into complete freedom of owning not only my true mission on this planet but also walked into the beginning stages of embracing my total personal power. This was the legacy my parents passed over to me , and I saw it clearly!

You may wonder how one gets to the place where willingness to release familiar faces and ideas can be not only faced but acted upon, especially at the same time of experiencing one of the greatest losses of a lifetime. Transformation has its price, but it also has its rewards.

As I was seeing outer situations of a leader of my country daily making accusations, exuding chaotic messages without taking into account or responsibility of his own personal errors; and, other well known powerful people’s once hidden transgressions being brought out from the dark shadows of secretive agendas and actions, I saw how necessary it was for me to journey into the depths of my shadow self , into hidden feelings of shame and guilt stemming from my youngest memories up to the present. Dearest reader, I will tell you I have done much inner work in my adulthood looking at my past with all its ramifications, but this deep housecleaning went into the cobwebs of the Hades of my awarenesses.

Being in a foreign land surrounded by extreme beauty with no familiar persons by my side I had no distractions and could dive deeply into the recesses and quicksand of my mental-emotional-spiritual consciousness. I knew I had to take complete responsibility for decisions, thoughts, and actions of my total life up to this point. And, take responsibility I did!

The Standing Stones of Callanish on the Isles of Lewis stood before me one day and I allowed , even through great surprise for an initiation of sort , to transcend me. I owned, embraced, and welcomed all parts of my being…the shadows, the light, the secrets I had even kept from myself…and arose into my freedom of transfiguration of the Seduction of My Soul!

In the midst of this life altering experience I walked away and released a person whom had served a role as an alternative teacher, a person who in the 12 years I had known her not once had acknowledged or recognized who I really was and had not once complimented me on the talents I was born with. Then another whom I had considered a friend since 2011 was revealed to me to be a mirror of all my shadows, and I released her from my circle of confidantes. Both of these people were greatly important to me at one time but in my transformation I saw how I had allowed them to treat me with the same disrespect I had been treating myself at times…times when I would dishonor, shame, and put myself down.

Being in gratitude for the awarenesses of people who were my great teachers, as I surrendered the need to have them in my life, I visually saw how I have come full circle from a scared child into a fully empowered Visionary Healing Facilitator dedicated to standing for the planet, for humanity, and for myself!

I am now free from all emotional, mental, spiritual anguish I ever carried. I am free to be present , compassionate, and joyous in this world as it is. I am free to give myself love and light equally as I offer it to others in a manner of equality instead of believing I needed to save anyone from their own pathway. No one needs saving. We each only need to love deeply , giving complete love to all aspects of ourselves and in turn sending that love out to all brothers and sisters…who are each part of us. May you find your own peace within as you muster your own courage to dive all the way into the depths of your beautiful souls.

When Transformation Becomes the Ordinary Experience For Each Of Us!


07
OCTOBER 2017
I have been granted seeing through a new lens of perception over the past 11 months! It began for me right before the election of Donald J. Trump followed by my watching what seemed to be chaos and turmoil , as many people all over the world put on a cloak of fear and anger.

I watched as thousands of refugees all over the world were ostracized and turned away. I listened in anguish as young Afro-American males faced the highest rate of police killings in 2016. I was shocked to hear that an actor who portrayed a gentle, loving role model on television in the 1980’s was accused by a multitude of women of sexual assault . I observed social media turning into a frenzy of friends spouting hatred and anger toward each other as opposing beliefs and opinions spread like wildfire. I cried in despair to hear of mass killings all over the world as mentally ill and raging murderers obtained arsenals of weapons. In my hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia I was overwhelmed with grief when a group of White Nationalists came into this peaceful town and inflicted violence and extreme racial prejudice. Then came a series of hurricanes and earthquakes affecting not only my country, but other parts of the world.

Other unforeseen incidents occurred that all together seemed like a horror movie unfolding daily. What possible good could be extracted from these scenes? I am here as a witness to the silver lining in spite of the surface insanity! I was given a new pair of glasses to view the world because I believed what I was observing was not what it appeared to be! The silver lining is this in a nutshell….that which was covered underneath decades of denial is now out in the open. Racial prejudice, gender bias, media exaggeration, hatred, and political greed is no longer hidden under a proverbial rock. We can thank the current government administration for being the dark force that has allowed the cracks of light to shine into every living room and into every heart .

In my perception I am grateful…not grateful for the deaths, for the harm, for the abuse of people and the planet …but grateful that the transformation of the majority of us walking around like ostriches with our heads stuck in sand have slowly yet continually awakened ! The transformation is an everyday event….it is becoming a common occurrence of an ordinary experience! We are living in an onslaught of miraculous events that stem from daily activities. The number of us who know without a doubt that no one is going to save us , not our government, not our ancestors, not our religions is increasing weekly. Like hearted people are embracing the fact that we can and are re-creating our world. We are remembering wise sages such as Gandhi telling us “Violence separates people, but the search for truth is a communal enterprise in which we have to work together” and Nelson Mandela who said :”It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

When we each see that each moment, each day, is filled with an opportunity to transmute and transform the usual routines into exciting and explosive magical events in our lives we will choose to rise above the fear, rise above the chaos, and embrace every 24 hours not as terrible situations, but as light filled templates of a new vision for a world we are creating together, and we will soar into peace-harmony- and contentment! Multitudes of visionaries are my friends, my comrades, my allies, and my tribe. We are not alone…we are growing in numbers because we are choosing to be the change we want to see in the world. Do not give up before the miracles you have only dreamed of become the only reality you and I see in our world!
