Mystic Message from The Divine Feminine: Listen to the Music – Consciously!

Dear Ones,

When your heart is open to music, you are open to all of the higher vibrations in the Universe.  When you listen to music without opening your heart, you open yourself to a vulnerability to lower vibrations.  This is one reason that people who truly feel moved by the music they listen to can often more easily open their hearts than those who are not touched by music.

Now we know that some of you are wondering about the new kind of music that the young ones are listening to.  We would tell you that many of them are making themselves vulnerable to undesirable vibrations because of their music.  But many adults would throw out all types of the music the young folks enjoy even though not all are harmful.  The kind of music that makes them vulnerable has a message of lower vibration, frustration and anger and uses certain beats to move this message deeply into the young person’s psyche.  They do not realize that this is happening but it is manifest in them in a surliness and frustration that can turn to anger against those in authority.  Some of this music disturbs the brain waves of the youth so that they are vulnerable to the next encounter they have with someone else, whether that encounter is good or disturbing.

To recognize the effect of the music, listen for yourself and notice how you feel in your heart center of energy.  If you are disturbed, then the music is probably not the healthiest vibration.  Assess, though, whether your reaction is a dislike of the music or a genuine vibrational disturbance.  Then play some music that stirs you in a pleasant way and compare how you feel after that experience.  Do not use this as a way to try to change the young people in your life.  Rather, try to understand what they are experiencing and why they seek that experience.

Now try to find other examples of both types of music and notice how you feel with each.  A particular piece of music from a particular genre might have a different effect on you than another piece of music from the same genre.  Make a list of pieces of music that feel uplifting to you and create a playlist that you can use when you wish to feel uplifted. Make other lists of music that have different effects on your own vibrational level – those that energize you, those that make you feel peaceful and serene, those that assist you in meditation, those that help you think through problems clearly.  There are many ways that music can affect you and the same piece of music might fall on several of your lists.

If you have a young person in your life, take time to listen to some of their music with them. Ask them why they like a particular piece, how it makes them feel.  Share with them how you feel when you hear it, not to criticize or say that they are wrong for we want you to honor their honest feelings, but to demonstrate that different people can react differently to the same stimulus.  Then share some of the music from your list with them and ask them how they feel.  Remember to focus on the heart center.  Share how you feel when you are in the vibration of that music.  Make sure to use this opportunity to have an experience of sharing differences without criticism on either side.

This is a good exercise to do with a partner or loved one as a practice of sharing differences without criticism.  You might find several similar reactions and you might be surprised by differing reactions, even widely differing reactions.  Again, make sure that this is a sharing and that neither party is trying to influence the other.  Notice if there are compromises that can be reached if the two parties choices are very different.  Dinner music, for example, can be something chosen together to relax and aid digestion while each can listen to their particular preferences in their own cars.

Enjoy group experiences of music so that the heart centers of many can become connected in that vibration.  Concerts are so popular because many people are opening their hearts to others and enjoying the connections.  Noticing how music makes one feel is a part of Conscious Living.  We urge you to pay attention to the energy vibrations that you resonate with as a part of your growth in Consciousness.

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: His Holiness the Dalai Lama in “The Path to Tranquility”

“Whether their entire life will be successful or not depends much upon the atmosphere young children feel throughout the day.  In a family where there is love and compassion, the children will become happier and more successful human beings.  Without love, there is a danger of spoiling or ruining their whole life.  Human affection is thus most influential for children’s development.”

The most important ingredient in any recipe is LOVE.  Share that ingredient with your children and you will do the best you can for them.  And they will, in turn, learn to share Love with others.
–Rosemary

MUSE-INGS: Eat, Drink and Be Conscious

The children.  They should always be our concern when we are making decisions.  As any real estate agent will tell you, families with children are considering the number of bedrooms/bathrooms they need for the kids, the schools in the area, the protection of the yard for playing outdoors, where the parks are, how close to the road is the house, and lots of other factors.

But it seems we live in a crazy world where the food that goes into their bodies isn’t anywhere near as healthy as it should be.  Breakfast foods that aren’t really food don’t prepare the children for a good day of learning at school.  McDonald’s meals might not provide the healthiest balance of ingredients that they need.  Many kids refuse to eat the foods that Mom & Dad know they should eat.  What can a parent do?

It seems to me that everyone can only do their best.  Offering fast food only occasionally if at all is a start.  Buying fresh food choices and teaching the kids to prepare food introduces them to a future of healthy eating.  Your little one might really enjoy some one-on-one time in the kitchen with you as you prepare a meal together.  Some kids would love to help out but the folks are tired and just want to get the meal over with so they lose an opportunity for togetherness in the activity.

Sometimes kids are kept out of the kitchen to be out of the way for their own safety.  I used to worry when I heard that my little girl was peeling carrots in her Montessori classroom but she showed me at home, standing on a chair at the sink because she was so short, that she could safely handle a peeler and a carrot.  She learned to cook standing on a chair by the stove, with me close by.  Bring a child into the kitchen with you and teach her to use a recipe to prepare something delicious.

But it’s not just food, is it, that is harming our kids?  We need to understand how complicated life is in this 21st Century.  We’re all breathing air that is less than perfect for our bodies.  We all have to drink water and we pay huge amounts to try to get healthier water that doesn’t have chlorine or fluoride or bacteria in it but that does have the minerals we need.  I tried to get an ice cream cone in London from an American chain and was told they don’t carry Rocky Road because the ingredients are genetically-modified, not allowed to be imported there.  How many food products are we eating that contain molecules of pesticide in them?  And we don’t even know the answer because we have no way to find out.

So Conscious Living would require us to pay attention to what goes into our bodies and the bodies of the children in our lives.  Do you know the source of the food you eat, the water you drink?  Have you paid attention to the air quality in your area?

For some people this will spur them into political action to demand that their environment and what they take into their bodies is as healthy as they can get it.  For some it will become a crusade to make sure that they and their family are careful about these things.  I’m hoping that some will think about areas of the world where the people are desperate for anything to eat or drink and where help is needed in meeting the simplest of requirements for life.

We in the Western World have the luxury of examining the chemical content of our food while there are many on Earth who would love to have that concern.  Let’s be careful about what we eat and drink and the air we breathe while we also do something about all those children who have nothing to eat, no clean water to drink.  Maybe we can achieve a balance so that this wonderful Mother Earth can provide sustenance for all her children, healthy sustenance that keeps them all alive and healthy and thriving to advance humanity into evolved consciousness.


Mystic Message from The Divine Feminine: Consider the Children; they are our future!

Dear Ones,

These are times when many are concerned about the children in their lives and it is right that there should be concern.  We are not wishing to scare anyone but the children of your times are not being given the consideration that they deserve and need.

Let us first talk about the environment on Planet Earth, for that is an immediate and desperate arena.  The human body was developed to exist in the purest of circumstances on Planet Earth.  The lungs were designed to breathe clean air, the blood circulatory system to handle impurities and to carry life to cells, and the digestive and elimination systems to take in healthy food while removing that which the body does not need or cannot process.  Even the skin has a major role to play in the healthy balance of the systems in the body as it is part of the system of eliminating waste and balancing the temperature of the body.

But the children of your day are being given food, air, water and earth to walk on that contain very unhealthy elements that are detrimental to their development as healthy human beings.  The air they are breathing contains many molecules that the lungs were not designed to deal with.  The foods they are ingesting contain chemicals that no system in the body knows how to handle.  The water they drink contains so many things that are not healthy that it is no longer the single most precious, life-giving substance they can take into their bodies.  Do not fool yourself into believing that the large companies that are in charge of these factors are concerned with the health of your children and grandchildren, for they have lost sight of the human aspect of their work.

Now we are not saying that every individual who works for these companies does not care about your children or their children.  But we are saying that in the aggregate these corporations have ‘forgotten’ that little bodies are affected by decisions about what the products contain or the effect a process will have on the natural environment.  Each person does a little job and may do it well, but when the pieces are put together the overall effect can be deleterious to the health of the next generation.

When politicians believe that air pollution is not dangerous they do so because someone has convinced them of findings that are misleading at best, perhaps even deliberately so.  When corporate heads are analyzing data they are looking at financial information, not at the effect their product will have on a 4-year-old who lives in your house.  These people are not ‘bad people’ but they are not concerned or motivated by the care and concern that you have for the children in your life.

YOU are the one who must be concerned about the children in your care or in your life.  What can you do to assist them in having the healthiest life they can have?  Why is this important?

The children who are on Planet Earth at this time are the ones who have Spirits that agreed to move the Planet through the coming changes and into a New Era on Earth.  These Souls know their work is global, not provincial.  They are concerned with all of humanity, not just their own neighborhood.  But to accomplish what they have come to Earth to do they must keep their bodies healthy enough to support their efforts. They require a healthy environment, good food, clean air, supporting energies so they can get good educations, and a loving, nurturing home environment to be allowed to grow into the person they incarnated to be.  Whatever relationship you have with today’s children, it is your work to make sure that each child has this support.

Do what you can to provide these requirements to all children on Planet Earth.  If you do not have children at your home at this time, help other people’s children.  Work for the good of children in other countries.  Make sure that young people have support and information so they can grow into healthy adults to accomplish their mission on Earth. Take care of Mother Earth for them.  Do what you can to reverse the damage caused by previous generations and others who have not yet been educated about the harm they are causing.  Figure out what is yours to do to support children.

Even if you have no children in your immediate arena, help the children of others.  Too many children do not have the support they need to become critical thinkers.  Too many do not have access to opportunities to express their own creativity, the artist within.  Can you support efforts to provide those opportunities?

There is much that can be done.  The children need your efforts.  Do it for the children and the future.

And so it is.

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

“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?

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

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

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!

BOOK LIGHTS: From the Sumerian songs of Goddess Inanna

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

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!
