The other day I went for a hike and to spend some time meditating in nature, a practice I do as often as possible to keep myself grounded, release what does not serve me and to connect to Spirit.  It was a beautiful day with blue skies and butterflies dancing in the air.  I could hear the gentle hum of spirit voices underneath the sound of water rushing between rocks in the nearby creek...

This morning, Spirit gave me the following message, "Ascension begins with grounding." This is so true. In order to go up, we must first go down by grounding and releasing lower vibrational energies into the earth. More specifically, in order to ascend to higher vibrations and attract positive spiritual allies and energies into our lives, we must first create space within the body temple through physical grounding and release of negative & stale energy. As the old energy leaves us it makes room for new energy to replenish and renew us in body, mind and spirit.

Eckhart Tolle says, "You are the light of the world. You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that, and that's freedom, liberation, awakening, the end of suffering and madness. And it's happening right here."

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…are heading our way!  Yes, it's that time again.  There is a series of Eclipses heading our way bringing sudden change into our lives in ways we did not expect.  My personal theory on this is that the more information we have, the more prepared we are to navigate through the upcoming changes that could otherwise unexpectedly shake us to the very foundations of our being.  Forewarned is forearmed!

This past mercury retrograde cycle was a difficult one. Many individuals may have experienced conflicts and other relationship issues over the past few weeks as mercury retrograde prompted miscommunication to run rampant in all areas of our lives for an extended period of time, leaving us feeling out of balance, tired and perhaps even a little depressed or irritable. It's important for us to acknowledge our emotions and honor ourselves by actively healing and releasing that which does not serve our highest good. We should endeavor to release these toxic emotions whenever we discover an imbalance within us instead of 'stuffing down' those emotions as they become toxic to the mind, body and spirit over time. But how do we 'let it go'?

Happy Earth Day! 

Today is a day to honor our planet and the life she provides us by recycling, generating less waste than usual, walking instead of driving to the corner store, spending time in nature, being conscious of and choosing 'greener' alternatives to promote sustainable and local farming and in general GIVE BACK to the earth for so many gifts that she has provided us over the milennia.  Whether your choices are driven by politics, health or spiritual reasons, today is the day to give back and honor the earth.

Tomorrow, April 14th, marks the new moon.  If you are familiar with working with lunar energy, you know that new moons mark the perfect time energetically to begin new projects.  So if you can, spend some time tonight to reflect upon that which you would like to work on or manifest next in your life and write about it in detail.  Honoring the work you do by writing it down creates a stronger bond to those ideas and brings them one step closer to fruition.

Got headaches?  Sure, we all get them every once in a while. Most of the time a headache is indicative of dehydration.  But if a glass of water doesn't help you and you don't feel like having a belly full of pills, you may want to try the following meditation technique to ease your pain.

"New Moon On Monday...and a fire dance through the night..."

The old Duran Duran song keeps echoing through my mind today as a reminder of the glorious new moon that will be rising tonight.  If you are unfamiliar with working with lunar energy, the new moon is a great time for new beginnings. If you are a surfer, you will know that the new moon and the full moon both affect the ocean waves, making them much larger than the half or quarter moons do.  And since our bodies are comprised of over 80% water, think about how the moon affects each of us as individuals and the lives of the people around us.  It's not just 'smoke and mirrors'...there is energy there if you are open minded enough to access it. Frankly put, if you actively incorporate lunar energy into your life and enhance the energy of what you would like to attract or repel based upon sustained mental focus and intention, you can change your life in ways you have never imagined.

ATTENTION HEALERS, LIGHTWORKERS, TEACHERS & GUIDES

It has come to my attention that the healers and healing community needs healing right now in a serious way. There has been a rise in the need for healing within our society as we deal with the ever changing economy, the rise in unemployment and other stresses in our everyday lives which affect our bodies, minds and spirits.  The healers are there to help us and guide us through these shifts but they too are being affected by energetic imbalances.  One of the common stigmas of the healer as the 'rescuer' is that they are so focussed on giving aid and helping others that they at times put their own needs aside which can cause issues.  Frankly put, the healers need healing.

I bet you've been feeling like things have been a little 'stuck' for a while and maybe even had a few stumbling blocks along the way when ramping up your New Years Resolution routines.  Well, there's a good reason for that.  Mercury and Mars have both been in retrograde for the past several weeks and today Mercury goes direct! As a result of this, today you may feel a shift as a solar eclipse in the wee hours of the morning and as Mercury turns direct (at 8:52am PST) make that foggy feeling that kept you from finding the right words to say finally disappear.  Woohoo!  It's about time!  There is also a new moon in Capricorn tonight so what does it all mean?  Keep reading, my friend...

"Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing."   ~ Julia Cameron from her book The Artist's Way.

Born from the mists of time the healing power of art, music and creative expression have always been intuitively known. Ancient tribal cultures used dance, music, costume and storytelling to invoke or release specific energies (spirit) for healing. Whether these rituals were used to purify the tribesman before the hunt or invite the blessings of spirit, all tribal people essentially believed that there was a healing energy or spirit that could be released from an individual by going into the sacred space of music or art and fully participating in the experience.

What is sound healing?  Simply put, sound healing is the conscious use of the energy of sound to reach identified goals to promote health and wellness in the body temple.  Sound healing is founded on the premise that all matter is vibrating at specific frequencies and science has shown that sound (vibration) has a definite impact upon physical substance, including our bodies.

When we are self-aware and exercise a certain degree of consciousness throughout our daily lives, we tune-in and tune-up, raising the vibration patterns that flow through us at every level of body, mind and spirit promoting health and happiness in our lives.  But some of us may wonder about specific techniques one can do to help to raise vibration patterns in an effort to increase energy, promote healing and attract abundance into our lives?
