BOOK LIGHTS: From “Notes from the Universe” by Mike Dooley

January 29, 2010 — Rosemary
“It’s not possible!

You cannot significantly change your life, for better or worse, by manipulating the material world.  Not by working harder, not by studying longer, not by schmoozing, not by sweating, not by fasting, not by the hair of your chinny, chin, chin.

But change, great change, is inescapable, when you first begin manipulating the world of your thoughts, which weigh a whole lot less than material things, anyway.

It’s that simple.

— The Universe”

From Notes from the Universe by Mike Dooley

Change your thoughts, change the world.  That tag line has been on my business card for a long time but I’ve recently changed it to: Expand Your Mind * Empower Your Life * Evolve The World.  Every change we make has to happen in our thoughts first.  And then the impact is not just on us and our world, but on everything around us, the whole Planet.  Time to get in touch with what we’re REALLY thinking and believing, wouldn’t you say?

MUSE-INGS: To Change or Not to Change?

January 28, 2010 — Rosemary

The Transformation Energy is really strong around here!  Every day there is some new thought, some new concept to flesh out and implement, some new program to offer.  And I am seeing this with clients, too.  The messages are about change that is coming for them and how to handle that change.

Are you someone who easily and openly embraces change or is it a struggle for you to deal with change when it is thrust upon you?  I believe there are people who answer both ways to that question.  For those who find it easy to embrace change their lesson comes in discerning the changes that are appropriate for them.  Some people like change for the sake of change and are learning to stay focused, to deepen their experience of something before they move on.  Some have trouble with commitment and so they embrace the opportunity for change as an escape route away from ‘being stuck.’  Some folks struggle with discontent over what is and wish to change to escape what they are experiencing rather than learn the lessons available to them before they change the circumstances.

And then there are those who do not want any change at all.  They are happily wedded to the status quo and choose not to change anything, even a little.  Often times those who run from change are running from something else within themselves, usually fear, often an unexamined fear.  In this category are people who have become familiar with pain and they fear the unknown so they stay with the familiar, even if it is painful.  It is often difficult for these people to embrace change, even if they want to or know it would be beneficial.

So when The Divine Feminine tells us that this year is about Transformation Energy, how do we embrace that concept no matter what our relationship to ‘change’ might be?

The first place to start is by understanding that, as evolving sentient beings we are always undergoing change within ourselves.  Our physical cells are dying and being replaced every moment we exist.  With every new experience we have new information in our mental data bases with which to approach every situation.  We are aging, we are learning new things, and the people around us are also developing.  To fight Transformation is to attempt to stem a tide that is already pulling us along.  Change isn’t necessarily bad just because it brings with it something different.

And change isn’t necessarily good just because it brings with it something different.  Some times what we are doing or being doesn’t need to change.

The important aspect of Transformation is that it occurs in our consciousness first.  We change how we think or what we believe to be true.  We examine ourselves in a context and we look for underlying reasons for behaviors and actions.  We become truly conscious and aware and ask questions rather than choosing to act out of habit.  It might be that in certain instances we choose not to change but that choice is made after careful consideration–it becomes a conscious choice about ourselves and our life.  That is Conscious Living.  Being deliberate.  Noticing in every moment where our thoughts and behaviors originate.  Do I really believe this or did someone else plant their belief in me?  Is what used to be true for me still true today or in this circumstance?  Am I choosing to change at this time because I wish to move forward toward something new or am I running away from something familiar?

When Transformation Energy is available to us we can embrace it with open arms but we must also examine what and why we’re transforming with that energy.  Learning how to use this energy is part of growing on the path of Conscious Living.

2010: The Year of Transformation Energy

January 27, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

We are pleased to tell you that many changes anticipated for the year 2010 have already been put into motion for you.  The energy of this year will bring Transformation to all who are ready and willing to change for the better.  Each year carries a special message for humanity, a different energy for what is happening to and around the Planet.  For 2010 this energy is about change, transformation at a very deep level.  Those whose nature is to resist change will find that they cannot stay upright in the strength of the currents of change.  Those who wish change for the sake of change will also find difficulties in advancing their agenda.

But those who are open to being led into the changes that are appropriate for them, personally and on a planetary level, will experience profound transformation supported by the Universal energies and the energies of Planet Earth.  This is the time for all humans to become attuned to their Inner Guidance, to listen to the Wisdom that speaks from within them.  This is the time for those who would be conscious to hear the voices of teachers who strive to bring others into increased awareness and consciousness.  The teachers who are still singing the old songs, who are still teaching from the energies of decades past, who have no way to tap into current sources of guidance for the present times, will be left behind by the students who are hungering for up-to-date information, guidance about what they are to do in the present moment, and support on their journey into their own wisdom and empowerment.

The days of giving one’s power away to an external institution are passing.  Those who continue to try to steal another’s power will find they have empty hands.  Of course, there are still those who wish to give away their power out of fear of retribution, whether by humans in this life or some kind of ‘god’ in an afterlife.  But those who choose to give away their power were never going to embrace the energy of Transformation that is present in 2010 anyway.  And the power-hungry people and institutions will still find some who will support them because those supporters are too fearful of change to allow themselves to transform.

But if you are one who is willing to accept the influx of Transformation Energy that characterizes the year 2010 then you must do a few things to acclimate yourself to that energy.  First, you must cast off the shackles that have been holding you back from making the changes that you feel your Inner Being is trying to make.  Usually those shackles are in the form of latent fears and limiting beliefs that work at the unconscious level to keep you held back from your own personal growth.  Clearing these shackles frees you to look around you for the ways to manifest personal change in your life.  When you open yourself to your own Inner Power, Inner Guidance, even if you must work with someone else to gain the most benefit from the effort, then you bring to Planet Earth a manifestation of the Life Purpose you came into being to anchor on the Planet. Transformation Energy does not necessarily mean that everything within and around you must change.  But it does mean that the changes will be deep and lasting and will profoundly affect the course of your life.  For some of you the changes will be as dramatic as that of a blind person who is given the gift of sight.  For others, the changes will be deeply personal – you will enter the rest of your life with a deeper understanding of yourself and others that will transform your choices and actions on a personal level.  And for some, the Transformation Energy will cause an explosion of public activity that will affect more people in the world than you can imagine.

Allow yourself to flow with the essence of this Transformation Energy as it unfolds in your life this year.  The changes for you might not come until December 2010.  For others, though, this energy is already happening in this year.  Hold onto your hats as the pace quickens!

And so it is.

Conscious Living: 2010, The Year of Transformation

January 26, 2010 — Rosemary
We hope you are enjoying winter and the time for self-reflection that this season brings.  The weather has been mild here in Colorado and it’s great to see so much sunshine and light.  Other areas are having the coldest winter on record [UK] and many areas have seen a lot more snow than usual.  Colorado is seeing less snow in the mountains than usual.  Weather patterns are definitely changing.

We’re still working on designing new programs to offer in 2010 and are really excited about what’s coming for you!  We’ll be announcing them in February.

We were in Avon and Beaver Creek this past weekend; our “snow dance”  for the snowboarders/skiers in the family worked well and they had new powder both days. Maybe it worked too well; it took us an extra two hours to get home on a very snowy and heavily traveled Sunday evening!  While in the Colorado Rockies I worked on those 2010 programs for you and sat by the fireplace.  My bones take more kindly to walks around the town and visits to art galleries than to hurtling down slopes at breakneck speeds!

Enjoy whatever winter activities engage you and remember to set aside some time for planning for the changes that 2010 is inviting you to make!  As always, I’d be delighted to work with you to gain insights about the coming year from the multidimensional sources I connect with.  Special rates for ‘Get Ready for 2010 Sessions’ in January and February! Contact me for a private session at:  rosemary@rosemarybredeson.com

BOOK LIGHTS: From the Sumerian songs of Goddess Inanna

January 21, 2010 — Rosemary

BOOK LIGHTS:

‘He put his hand in her hand.

He put his hand to her heart.

Sweet is the sleep of hand-to-hand.

Sweeter still the sleep of heart-to-heart.’

From the Sumerian songs of Goddess Inanna
as translated in
Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth:
Her Stories and Hymns from Sumer
By Diane Wolkstein and Samuel Noah Kramer

This description of Inanna with her consort, Dumuzi, shows the tenderness of an open-hearted connection – ‘sweeter still.’  I like the image of these powerful figures sleeping with hands held and hearts connected.

MUSE-INGS: Hold the World in Love

January 21, 2010 — Rosemary

Sometimes the hardest message about Love that we have to hear is the one about loving from a centered place that does not necessarily reflect what we are feeling in a certain moment.  Feelings can overwhelm us and when we are faced with a very emotional situation it can be extremely difficult to remember to project the energy of Universal Love.

The way to remind ourselves is to pause, take a breath, and notice how we feel without acting on that feeling yet.  Of course, if what you are feeling is fear of the sabre-toothed tiger who is bearing down on you, then you might want to run while you pause! But, even then, you will find that reaching into the place of peace and Universal Love within you and projecting that energy outside of yourself can calm the energy around you.  A friend encountered a mountain lion near her kitchen door and she went outside holding only Love and peaceful energy within her. She talked soothingly to the mountain lion while he looked at her.  The picture shows a brilliant light shining forth from the eyes of the mountain lion – an amazing photo!  My friend stayed in a higher vibration than fear and had a wonderful experience of close proximity with a mountain lion.

So what happens when we pause and breathe?  We then have time to move into the ‘observer mode,’ the place where we have the most resources for choosing a course of action.  When we can observe ourselves in a situation we can also observe possible outcomes of the choices we see before us.  If we stay in the emotion of the moment our vision is narrowed and we frequently can’t see multiple options from which to choose our next step.  And when we notice what is going on in our body in that moment we have even more information to work with.

Try this the next time you are interacting with someone, even if there are not intense emotions in the minute.  Take a second to visualize the Light and Love that is streaming into the top of your head from your connection to the Universal Source of Love and Light and connect with that energy in your Heart Center.  Then really look at the person, really notice them, really listen to them.  Notice how it feels in you when you do this.  This isn’t about bombarding them with Light energy, for that would be an invasion of their boundaries.  This is more like holding a space for them to be in connection with you in a bubble of this Love and Light.  They have the option of choosing to step into the bubble or to step away from it, but you are defining the vibration in which you wish to hold this interaction.  When someone chooses not to engage at this level of energy, that is their prerogative but you don’t have to step into a space that is not appropriate for you.

The person who is living the Conscious Life will practice always operating from this level of awareness and connection, with other people and with the Universal Source of Love and Light.  Imagine how peaceful the world would be if everyone operated in this energy.  You might not have the power to make the entire world enjoy this vibration but the world around you will certainly change when you are holding this energy in every situation!

Live and Love with One Heart

January 19, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Living and loving with one heart gives you a unity of purpose in your life.  Do you know what we are meaning here?  Think about your heart and how many different ways that you have for loving – your life partner, your parents, your children, your friends, your work, your pets, your home, your car, your favorite sweater.  You use the term ‘love’ to describe a feeling about all of these people and objects.

We are talking about ‘love’ in the sense of the verb that is sourced in your heart of heart, the place within your body where the energy of your higher energy centers and your lower energy centers come together.  Your Heart Center is the place where the energy from Mother Earth comes up through your body and meets the higher vibration energy that comes through the top of your head from Source energy, the Universal Source of Love & Light.  These energies meet in your Heart Center and you can make a decision to send this energy out to others in a specific way that is not about how you feel about them.

Think of the people that you thought you loved in your life but for whom your feelings dimmed when they failed to live up to your expectations of them.  How many objects have you said you ‘loved’ yet discarded when they were no longer useful?  This is not the kind of love that we are addressing here.

We want you to think of Love as an energy that connects you to another because you choose to make that connection.  Think of your partner or child or grandchild or dear friend and think of holding them in a Love energy that does not have expectations, has no rules for them to follow, does not require reciprocation for you to hold them in that Love energy.  This Love comes from Consciousness, not from feelings.  This Love has no requirements on the other party.  And this Love has a great benefit to you because it allows you to maintain your own energy at a higher level than that of feelings.

We understand that all humans experience feelings and we are not telling you that there is anything wrong with having feelings.  But as a person who is committing to live a Conscious Life on Planet Earth then you are one who must learn about the higher vibrations of energies that take you above your feelings while allowing you to honor how you feel.  For some of you this might seem confusing but there are ways that you can achieve this.

First you must learn to honor the feelings that do arise within you. But by honoring those feelings we do not mean that you must determine your choices in life only on how you feel.  When you experience strong feelings you are being led to examine a situation or a relationship so that you can learn something in that moment.  The emotion is a clue that there is something for you to examine and from which you can learn.  The emotion is not the point of growth for you – it is the flag that tells you that you are in a situation that holds the potential for you to experience growth.  Learning to allow your emotions to be teachers for you is a big step in living a Conscious Life.


For example, when you are in a close relationship with another person, you are, by definition, going to experience reactions and emotions in that relationship.  Whether that person is a relative or loved one or colleague or boss, because you are both human, you will have feelings.  But the awake and aware individual knows that the relationship does not hinge only on the feelings of a moment.  The relationship is being forged in a whole collection of moments and requires that each participant be allowed the space and energy for personal growth within that relationship.  When one person refuses to grow the whole relationship suffers from that decision.  But when one person decides to operate in the relationship from their Heart Center, always holding the other person in the energy of Universal Love, then both parties benefit.

Do you see that the decision to hold another person, or a relationship, in the energy of Universal Love allows you to expand in your growth into Consciousness and allows the other person the opportunity to learn lessons and to also grow in Consciousness?  The difficult part of this is that you have no control over what the other person chooses to do in this situation.  They might choose to cut themselves off from the flow of Universal Love.  They might choose to ignore the opportunity for personal growth that has been afforded them.  They might even choose to turn around and attack you in the situation because you are not engaging with them at a lower vibration of energy.  But this does not mean that you can or should change your connection to the Source of Universal Love nor does it mean that you are right or they are wrong.  It simply means that you are operating in that moment from different vibrations of energy.  And this has nothing to do with how either of you is feeling in that moment.

Making a choice to find the space within you that holds the energy of Universal Love and then to participate in all relationships from that place will change the world around you.  You will find that the person who benefits the most from this is not the person on the other side of a relationship but is, indeed, yourself.  And holding yourself in the energy of Universal Love is Self Love, the place from which any love for others must flow.

And so it is.

Did you notice any shifts in Energy with the New Moon last Friday and Mercury going direct?

January 18, 2010 — Rosemary

There are lots of energies to deal with when there is a New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, and the Planet Mercury decides to ‘go direct’ [looking from Earth as if it is moving forward again after appearing to go backward].  Be careful with the drivers who are unconscious on the roads!

We’re in a place of planning this month, getting the schedule for the year settled and building a strong foundation for new programs.  Hope you are taking January to go inside your own cave and examine yourself and your life so that you can make conscious adjustments where needed.  This is what Winter is for.

And with a New Moon there’s always the opportunity to invite new energies into our lives.  What are you ready to receive?  Now is a good time to do some affirmations giving gratitude for what you are inviting in as if it is already here.

I am offering special discounts on private sessions until February 14th so that you can Get Ready for 2010.  Call or email to set up your appointment and learn about the energies you can work with this year to step confidently into a transformative time!

BOOK LIGHTS: Enjoy Your Own Reality!

January 15, 2010 — Rosemary
“Realism – n.  awareness of things as they really are.”
Webster’s New Pocket Dictionary

Make sure that you don’t confuse ‘realism’ with someone else’s definition of ‘reality’!  When you have an ‘awareness of things as they really are’ you don’t have to give that up to fit someone else’s awareness.  Enjoy your own experience of Life!

MUSE-INGS: What is Reality?

January 14, 2010 — Rosemary

There are so many ways to experience reality and yet so often we are moving through our lives with blinders on.  A popular saying is,  ‘Believing is seeing.’  How true!  If we don’t believe something we have trouble observing it.

Are you one of the people who has had an experience of orbs, the spheres of light that are appearing on many people’s digital pictures?  They are a worldwide phenomenon that is enchanting those who chose not to dismiss or be afraid of them.  Most believe orbs to be consciousness appearing from a dimension beyond our usual three dimensions.  Who can say that this is not so?  Our friend was seeing orbs on a hike with someone who was not seeing them and laughed at the concept.  Laughed, that is, until he looked at the pictures he had taken on the hike and discovered that the orbs appeared in the last photo he had shot.

Do you have or know children who have imaginary friends?  Many are comfortable as long as they focus on the ‘imaginary’ part of this, but can you truly say the child is not experiencing a presence that perhaps you cannot see?

And what of angels or fairies?  Some can see these beings and others cannot.  Does the fact that someone can’t see an angel mean that there are no angels? Of course not.

Yet how often do we discount even our own experience of something that we cannot explain?  Too often, I think.  Each of us has had the experience of knowing who is calling when the phone rings, even before looking at caller id.  Since I don’t believe in coincidence, I accept the notion that we are somehow connected to that person and know the contact before we pick up the phone.  Twins don’t even need the phone to communicate.   You’ve probably had the experience of thinking of someone and then having that person contact you, even if you hadn’t been in contact for awhile.  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.

The next time you have an experience that tests your understanding of reality give yourself permission to let the experience be the definition of a new reality for you.  Ask yourself what limiting beliefs are holding you back from accepting this new reality.  You might find someone else’s reality is trying to overlay yours.  Let it go!  Accept that your reality is your reality and no one else gets to tell you that it is not.

This doesn’t just apply to orbs or angels or fairies.  Think in terms of what you believe about yourself, what you think you deserve, what you believe you are capable of in life.  You have the power to change your beliefs.  You deserve to live your own life, free of the constraints of other people’s definitions of reality.  You can do things beyond your former understanding if you stretch your beliefs about yourself.

Allow yourself to expand your understanding of reality for yourself and there are no limits to the life you can lead.  If you are sensing reaction to this idea, then maybe it is time to work with someone to clear those limiting beliefs and experience a new expanded reality for yourself.
