MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Feeling Stuck in the Darkness?

November 1, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

We wish to speak to you today of reaching into your heart to find the Light Within.

There is too much darkness in the world today and the dark thoughts of economic issues, wars, division, uprisings and fear of the future are fueling the growth of this darkness.  There must be a shift to thoughts of Light.  Each individual is personally responsible for bringing about this shift — first, within the self and then into the outer world.

Many people do not have any idea about how to create the shift from darkness to Light so those that do know how to do this must become teachers for the others.  The best way to teach this is to model this in your own Life.

Do you catch yourself grabbing onto and holding thoughts of doom and gloom or darkness and fear?  Do you find it difficult to make the shift to thoughts of hope and optimism and dreams and visions of Light?

Here is a technique to use when you find yourself stuck in ‘dark thinking.’

First, become clear that the darkness is in your mind because you have attached meaning to a thought or belief that has a low vibration to it.  Your mind has become fixated on that thought and has generated darkness at that low vibration in all your cells for the mind exists in every cell of your body.  Then you must give yourself another thought of a higher vibration — of Light, positive energy, Love.

Now we realize that when things seem to be at their darkest it might seem too difficult to find a thought of a higher vibration.  This is why you must first understand that the darkness is the RESULT of your attaching yourself to a low-vibration thought, idea or feeling.  The thoughts, ideas and feelings might arise of their own accord or be planted in your consciousness by outside forces (such as the media or negative-thinking people).  But you have the power to decide whether you will attach yourself to these low vibrations or you will find a higher vibration to which you can lift yourself.

When you decide to lift your vibration, you can use visualization to imagine that you are washed in a higher vibration Light that permeates your cells and that does, indeed, lift your vibrational frequency.  For some, the use of a golden-colored Light works best.  Others use their intuition to choose the color that they need in the moment and visualize that color flowing into and through them to lift their vibration.

There is a new energy center developing in conscious human beings between the heart center and the throat center.  This is the Heart-Mind Center and its color is a beautiful clear blue-green like the tropical seas.  Visualize this color throughout your body so that you can use your Heart-Mind to shift into a new way of thinking, a new consciousness.

This is the vibration of the changes in consciousness with the 2012 shift.  Claim this for yourself by bringing your personal vibrational level up to the frequency of this blue-green.

Feel how good the Light of Hope, Peace, Joy feels as it banishes the darkness.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Are you afraid of dying of embarrassment?

October 26, 2011 — Rosemary

We all have fears, don’t we? No matter how much we try to ignore or deny them, they are there.

I like to tell myself that I don’t fear but have faith instead. But, as I learned in my first hand anaylsis session, my Life Lesson is ‘Emotional Authenticity.’ So I’m being authentic here – I have fears.

Do you?

What are you really afraid of? For many of us in these times, it is a fear of being without money. Why have we joined together in this collective fear that money is the root of all life? Or maybe we have a fear of dying? But is dying really the worst that could happen? Of course, we don’t want to die but lots of people have done it and their spirit lives on. If we live our life around the concept of ‘not dying’ we don’t live authentically. We would never cross the street, or eat sushi, or shake hands with someone who might be carryi ng germs, or have a child or any other number of things that ‘might’ lead to death. And yet we do all those things, some even choosing to do more extreme activities carrying a high degree of risk of death, and we live or we don’t live. So is fear of dying really at the root of our deep fears?

Do you know how often we choose to do or to not do something because we have a fear of looking silly or stupid or of being embarrassed? And haven’t we all lived through some embarrassing moment? I experienced this recently when I sat in line with hundreds of other cars waiting for the Whidbey Island ferry near Seattle. When it was my turn to board the ferry, my car wouldn’t start! Cars were having to move past me on both sides, someone came running to direct traffic, someone else came with a portable battery to jump start my car, and then it died again. This time they brought out the big cart to jump start my car and I had to drive it around [I,  of course, missed the next ferry] to charge up my battery and then demonstrate that I could turn the engine off and restart the car on my own. All this was happening on my way to the airport to meet my husband’s plane! I was on a schedule, I was experiencing car trouble in a very public way, inconveniencing others, and I was embarrassed.

But, I had choices about how to respond. I could have collapsed in shame and sat in my car and cried. I could have become angry and stomped around as if it were someone else’s fault. I could have thrown up my hands and walked away from the car [not that they would have let me do that!].  I could have driven away and decided not to take the ferry that day [and left my poor husband at the airport!]. All fear of being embarrassed, however, left when I decided to smile at the people who helped me, laugh at the situation, and do the best I could. I drove around and recharged my battery, demonstrated that it would start on its own, and made the next ferry with plenty of time to meet my husband’s plane.

For some reason, I surmised, I wasn’t supposed to be on that particular ferry or on the freeway a half-hour earlier or whatever. I may never know the reason I wasn’t supposed to make that ferry but my car, which had never given me a problem before and hasn’t since, needed to be the carrier of wisdom for me. And after that very publicly embarrassing moment, I know I don’t need to worry about public embarrassment causing me to die!

So if all fear is really a fear of a lack of connection to Source, then maybe the way to address any fear is to start by connecting back to Source Energy, the Universe, God/Goddess, Spirit. I learned from my little ferry experience that people were helpful, generous, smiling and sympathetic. Would I have had an opportunity to learn this without my experience? Maybe not.

The basic truth, that we  are all connected, to each other and to Source, means that everything that happens to us is within the context of our lessons on Earth. Every fear is a teacher. Let’s all help each other learn the lessons. Let’s remember that we are all connected. And let’s help others remember this!

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Fears? Who, me?

October 25, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

It is time for us to address the fears that you are dealing with at this time. Do you realize that all of your fears can be traced to your fear of being alone? Of being separated from the collective ‘All’? Yes, even your fears around money are ultimately connected to this universal fear.

No one who feels a constant connection to Source Energy or the Universe or Spirit or the Divine or God/Goddess can live in fear, even if there is no money in the bank or no relationship currently or any other of a myriad of problems in their life. No one who truly feels connected to all others on Earth can feel alone. No one who understands the concept of being One with the All, of being a part of the collective of humans in the collective consciousness, can be alone.

However, it is easy for individuals to forget, or fail to remember, that they are always connected to the community of human s on Planet Earth in a given time. You are not alone on Earth, no matter what you feel at this moment. Any fears that you might have stem from forgetting this one fact.

You are a spirit in your core. You are connected to all other spirits. It doesn’t matter what your outer circumstances might be, you are not alone in your experience, even if you feel that these words do not apply to you today. These words ALWAYS apply!

Human beings feel the first separation in their life as they separate from their mother at birth. The cutting of the umbilical cord is a metaphor for feeling like a human being who has been cut off from the spiritual being the human is actually a part of. You were symbolically cut from your mother so that you could lead a life separate from her and have your own experience of the path to reunion with the All or Spirit. At the moment that you took your first breath of precious air from Mother Earth’s atmosphere, you began to live the journey back to wholeness with the Source. Your physical mother had completed her initial work in carrying you from spirit into the physical world. The work then became your own, to rejoin what you felt was your separate spirit to the Universal Spirit that is the Source of All.

No matter what is going on in your life today, you are still connected to that Universal Spirit. No one has cut your umbilical cord to Mother Earth, who represents Source to those who dwell on her surface. Your spirit is a hologram of the Source Spirit in the Universe. You cannot be separate from the whole even if you think you are.

The fears that you have are really about circumstances in your life that lead you to make choices because, at your core, you are afraid of being alone, cut off from Source. You can be alone in your life, as in having no partner, but you are not alone in Life. You can feel anxious because you don’t have a job or money or a home or health care or any number of other things, but you are still connected to Source.

Your re-Sources come from Source Energy in the Universe. Think about whatever you feel is lacking in your life from this point of view. Connect in your mind and heart to Source Energy and then bring what you feel is a separation into that space. Re-Source yourself with your connection to Source Energy.

You don’t need to conquer your fears – you need to understand them. Use fear as a teacher about how you are feeling disconnected from Source. And gather your re-Sources from remembering the connection that is always there!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: When Life Isn’t a Straight Line

October 19, 2011 — Rosemary

Some times life isn’t a straight line but a spiral.

And there’s a big difference between going around in circles and moving through life in a spiral. The spiral is ever rising to the next level, a higher level. And there is movement forward at the same time.

Is there a part of you that is resisting these words? Are you feeling that you must move forward in a straight line in order to judge your movement as ‘forward’?

Stop and think about this for a minute. When you are seeking your purpose in life, your meaning, and you want to know your next step, do you really want to leave behind you all that you have done and learned? Of course not. But how do you move forward if you are constantly circling back into what you’ve known before?

This is why the spiral is the perfect image. You shift up to a higher level of understanding and expanded awareness and you look back over the experiences you have had and you gather the lessons from those experiences to add to your overall understanding of who you are and what you are about in this lifetime. Then you have more experiences, more lessons but they are happening within the context of a greater awareness and expanded consciousness. This keeps the spiral ever moving upward. This is living a Conscious Life.

In working with clients I often tap into what they have been experiencing over and over again but from my vantage point above the situation we can explore meaning in a different context. The goal is to learn to step up and examine what is happening, what one is feeling, what an interaction is carrying with it, so that you can see from a new perspective the lesson that is to be learned.

With a recent client it was to see the perspective of her mother in the situation. With another, it was their child’s view that was clouded in the relationship. I also worked with a client to discover her Life School, Life Lesson and Life Purpose from a Scientific Hand Analysis and the answers helped her to understand what was going on in her life at the moment, gave the experiences a greater context.

We all want to have meaning in our life. We all want what we are doing and experiencing to somehow count in the overall scheme of things. But we can so easily get bogged down in the feelings of the moment, especially in relationships, that we play the same old tapes over and over again without making progress. This is when it is time to step up to a higher perspective, often with help, and see the situation from the place where the solutions live, rather than where the problem is the only thing you can see.

What will you do this week to step up above the problems of the week? Where will you go to find what you are seeking? How will you approach the experiences of the week so that you can see the solutions and not just the problems, enabling yourself to learn the lessons as they are presented to you?

Decide to make this a week of Conscious Living. See yourself on the spiral every day and look for the way ahead to take you to a higher level of understanding.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Going in Circles?

October 18, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Where are you heading? Do you know the direction in which you are moving? Are you going around in circles?

Many people spend their whole life moving in circles from one activity to another without any real direction to their life. Often, they are seeking something, especially some meaning, and they use busy-ness and activities to attempt to find what they are seeking. They are looking for a needle in the haystack of a busy life.

You cannot find what you seek by staying too busy to sit and listen to your inner guidance. What you seek is already within you. Are you looking for meaning? Purpose? A Sense of direction? It is all available inside you but you must know how to look for it.

When you keep asking others for their opinion, you indicate to the Universe that you are valuing their opinion above your own. When you keep going to classes, seminars, workshops or getting degree after degree after certification, you indicate that you don’t feel whole within yourself. But these patterns keep you from valuing your own opinion, from finding the wholeness that you seek.

You probably do not need to take one more class, get one more degree or certification, or attend one more seminar to find what you are looking for.

Pause. Breathe. Go inside for guidance and listen to the wisdom that you find there.

Are you feeling that there is nothing there or that you don’t know how to do this? Then ask for guidance from someone who can help you. But be sure that you are asking for help in the process of finding or confirming what you already know within yourself. Be wary of someone from the outside who tries to tell you what to do without checking that it resonates with you on the inside. Pay attention to your own intuition, to your gut feelings.

You are always connected to Source Energy that can guide you if you listen to the wisdom that is in your heart. Remind yourself of this connection and you will feel what you need to know. There is wisdom within you that might have been untapped for your whole life, but it is time now to access that wisdom. You might have had gut feelings before but not been able or willing to trust them. Now is the time to learn to trust.

The world is opening to new ways of operating and, if you are experiencing these words, then you are on the path to learn these new ways. Move ahead. Hold your head high when others question what you are doing. Others do not need to understand your choices. Others may criticize or complain or judge you, but they are not living your life – YOU are. Decide that you will move forward today, even if it feels like a baby step for you. Get out of the comparison game and avoid looking at how others are choosing to live their life, for this has no relevance to you. You came into this lifetime on Planet Earth so that you could have a series of experiences that would promote your Soul’s growth. Bless those experiences and move forward.

What lies ahead for you is glory, joy, peace and happiness. And more lessons because you are alive on Earth at this time. What lies behind you is the sum of experiences that have brought you to this moment in your life. All is as it should be. You CAN move forward. You CAN find your purpose, your meaning, your next step. Seek within and ask for guidance to do this.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: If You Can’t Trust Your Own Gut, Whose Gut Can You Trust?

October 12, 2011 — Rosemary

When I teach people about using their intuition to live a richer life, I often find that a person has no trouble receiving the messages from their inner guidance but they aren’t sure they can trust what they receive.  Does this sound like you?

It’s easy to dismiss an intuitive ‘hit’ as coincidence.  It’s easy to forget that you ‘had a feeling about that.’  But when you practice listening to your inner self and really looking for guidance within, you find that you CAN trust the signals you receive.  Even those that feel ‘off the wall.’

What is it that you would like to ask your own intuition?  If you came up with a question like, “Who will win the next election?” or “Will my team win the game?” then you might be working outside the sphere that we are talking about.  But you might think about a situation in which you are uncertain which path to take or which option to choose.  Very often this is why people come to me for coaching – they are struggling with a decision or confusion and they are having trouble seeing the road ahead for them.

As an Intuitive Coach I can share what I see about the path ahead for them but I also like to teach people to access their own inner wisdom no matter what I see.  I ask, “Is this resonating with you?” because I want the person to practice checking inside for how this information feels when they take it in and try it on.  It takes practice to learn to trust that you can take action on what you are feeling inside.  This is why working with someone can help you to build confidence in your own ability to tap into the wisdom.

Each human being has been granted a strong intuitive skill but our education systems and often society itself move us into being good little factory workers and doing what we are told instead of learning to question and to trust what is going on inside us.  As conscious beings we must learn to trust what we feel inside even if it contradicts something we are told outside of ourselves.

But let me add a caveat here.  Many people have an inner voice that criticizes them or bullies them.  This is NOT your Inner Wisdom.  These voices that are not positive and uplifting and supportive are not coming from a higher place within you.  Lift your awareness above this voice to find the higher vibration voice of Inner Wisdom.  This voice will never make you feel small or lesser than or criticized.  The voice of your Inner Wisdom speaks in a very matter-of-fact manner and supports your growth in awareness and consciousness.  Learn to discern and then you can trust that inner voice.

Practice following your gut this week.  Notice how you feel when you do that.  Notice how you feel when you do not.  Have an intuitive week!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Trust Your Gut!

October 11, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When Life seems to be a struggle, where do you turn?  For many, the answer is to religion.  For some, it is to a friend or family member.  Others look for counseling or coaching.  But the best answer is to start by looking inward.

Within each human being there is a connection to Wisdom that cannot be explained by the knowledge a person has collected.  This Inner Wisdom contains the wisdom of the ages and exists in a person’s very essence, the DNA of their existence.  Many people have lost or forgotten how to connect to this inner source of guidance and wisdom.  Many have given away their connection by placing their trust in others outside themselves, giving away their power to someone or something else.

Where do you look for answers?  Have you learned how to connect to your Inner Wisdom?  Do you listen to and trust your ‘gut feelings’?  Are you supported by your intuition or do you question it?

The answer to your question lies within you.  If you need help accessing it, then ask someone to help you learn how to connect with your inner guidance.  If you feel there is an answer but you question it, then you must start trusting and practice listening to the guidance that is available within yourself.  If you feel there is nothing, that you are not feeling or hearing or seeing an answer, could it be that the answer is to wait?  Perhaps your impatience is causing you to seek the answer you want and to ignore a valid answer that doesn’t meet your preconceived notions.  Or maybe you don’t really want the answer and so you ignore the signals that you are receiving.

Your Inner Wisdom is a connection to the Wisdom of the Universe.  All knowledge lies within the Collective Consciousness that has it’s own dimension in the Universe.  You have the ability to connect to this source of Wisdom and to use it in your daily life.  Are you ready?  Are you willing?  You ARE able!

So starting today make a decision that you will learn to connect to your inner wisdom.  Starting today, practice listening to what you are hearing within you.  And starting today, trust what you feel in your gut.  Remember that you have what you need inside you.  You know that the answers lie within.  It is probably the case that the only thing about which you still have doubts is that you can trust what you hear within you.

Trust does not come from thinking about it or from being told to trust.  Trust comes from trusting.  The more you trust, the more comfortable you will be with trusting and the easier it will be for you.  Practice this.

So now what is your question?  What will you do with that question?  Try feeling for the answer inside you.  And trust what you receive.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: You Choose!

October 5, 2011 — Rosemary

Seems this message keeps popping up, doesn’t it?  ‘You are always at choice in your life.’

I used to argue with the Universe about this one.  ‘But what about [fill in the blank] where I don’t feel I had any choice?’  The answer always seemed to have been, ‘You could have chosen to do nothing. You felt that you had to make a choice because you didn’t like the consequences of not choosing or of choosing other options.’  That was correct.

So how in your life today are you making a choice that you don’t realize is a choice?  Look first at those things that you feel are ‘givens’ in your life, the things that feel as if they can never be different.  So often these are the places where we must begin to reclaim our power by observing the ways in which we take away our own ability to choose by refusing to see that we have an ability to make a choice.

Often the most powerful moments in a coaching session come when the client begins to see that they actually have a choice in a situation in which they were feeling trapped, believing that there was no choice other than the one they had made.  Opening up to the possibility that you have chosen something, that decisions you have made along the way have brought you to this moment, does not have to feel like a criticism or a judgment – it is really just an observation.  And it is an empowering observation.

Are you in a job that is not satisfying?  Didn’t you make the choice to accept that job?

Are you in a marriage that is not fulfilling?  Didn’t you choose to marry that person?

The list goes on, and what matters is not that you beat yourself up for making that choice, but that you see there are choices now that you can make to change things.  If you believe that you cannot leave your marriage, then you must realize that there are reasons that you are choosing to stay but that you CAN leave, you just choose not to [perhaps for some very good reasons, but you still have a choice].  Do you feel that you cannot leave your job because there are no jobs out there?  You CAN leave your job but you might like the paycheck more than the uncertainty of finding another job.

Owning your power to choose can make a huge difference in living a conscious life.  When you view your life as filled with choice, then you become empowered to grow, to move forward, to reach for your dreams.  If you continue to view yourself as the victim then you are stopped dead in the water, unable to muster the energy or the power to direct your path forward toward your dreams.

Which way do you choose to live?  Choose to be a victim and stay stuck or choose to see yourself as empowered to make choices and move in the direction of your dreams.  It really is up to you.

I remember a time when I was just old enough for my parents to leave me at home alone.  The family was going to visit grandparents and I wanted to stay home alone.  My parents allowed me to make that choice.  But as soon as they pulled away from the curb, I wished I had gone with them.  I think I was exercising the right to choose without thinking about what the consequences of that choice might be.  I was suddenly lonely.  But I had made my choice.  And I made a different choice the next time based on what I learned, the feedback I received after that first choice.

This is the cycle that is empowering.  Make a choice. Notice the results of that choice.  Analyze the feedback and decide to continue making that choice or to make a new choice.

You can change your life but only when you realize that you are able to make choices.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Learn to Discern and Choose!

October 4, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

There are people around you who are misleading you about the way that the Universe operates and they are doing this in subtle ways that may not be easily discernible by you.  We wish to educate you with this message.

When you are told that you can’t have something, you are really being told ‘We (whoever that is) don’t want you to have this.’  This is not about politics or governments, but about people who believe they have the right to control another person’s life and decisions.

You are a Child of the Universe and, as such, your only contract is with the Universe, or Source, or God/Goddess.  Other people cannot deny you that which you desire because they are not the ones with whom you have an agreement about your life.  You are the one who makes the choices about how you will live your life.  You are, in every moment, able to make choices.

We know that there are many of you encountering these words who are already thinking about those situations in which you feel you have no control, but we would tell you to look for the aspects of those situations where you have the ability to make decisions.  Understand that you have made decisions in the past that have led up to this present situation.  This is not a criticism or a judgment.  It is a statement of fact.

If you don’t like your job, then remember that you agreed to take that position.  Even if you feel that you had no choice because it was the only opportunity at that time, you still had the option of taking no job, although that option might have brought with it some unpleasant consequences.  You will never feel empowered in your life until you see that you always have the power to make a choice.

When others try to control you by keeping you fearful of something, whether real or imagined or described as dangerous when it is not, then they are trying to steal your power of choice away from you.  When someone tells you that you can’t get a job making over $100,000 per year or that you can’t drive a luxury car or you can’t meet a partner who is wonderful or you can’t sell your house or retire or travel, then you must understand that they are merely demonstrating their own limiting beliefs.  You do not need to agree with them.

On one day, the economic news is disheartening, on the next it is encouraging.  The statistics about something are disturbing one day, hopeful the next.  There is nothing being told to the population that has all the truth within it.  Every report is slanted, sometimes by the omission of other information that is available, and sometimes on the ignorance or lack of understanding of the reporter.  Sometimes the report has been deliberately manipulated.

None of this matters, though, because you are responsible for making the choices in your life.  You must sort through information to decide what resonates with you.  The tool that helps you to do this is to learn to connect with your Inner Guidance to discover what is accurate in your world in this moment for you,

Go within, for the answers to your question reside there.  Make your choices after you have consulted your Inner Guidance.  Explore ideas within yourself, or with a guide who can help you determine what you feel, believe and need.

Run away from those who would try to force their will on you, or who purport to have all the answers for you so that you don’t have to think for yourself.  You are always at choice in your life. Sometimes it is best for you to ignore what you are being told from the outside and listen to the voice on the inside.  And if the inner voice seems to be judging or criticizing or demeaning, then get some help in clearing that voice so that you can connect with your true inner wisdom.

You’ll feel much more empowered when you are living your life from this place of connection!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Create Your Tribe!

September 28, 2011 — Rosemary

In Western culture we don’t often use the word ‘tribe’ to describe a group of people.  We talk about ‘community’ or ‘social group’ or some other collection of individuals, but maybe we should start saying ‘tribe.’  For don’t we all need a sense of belonging to some group or groups?

When is the last time that you made a new friend?  Do you always hang out with the people that you’ve known since high school even though they sometimes embarrass you or don’t understand you or even mock or make fun of you?  Have you ever looked around your ‘group’ and wondered if there were any member with whom you could share your innermost thoughts, your desires, your wishes and hopes for the future?  Maybe it’s time for you to examine who your tribe really is.

I’ve been attending seminars and retreats lately with different teachers/mentors and I’m finding that I like the overlap of my tribe members at these gatherings.  We’re all seekers and we seem to be sharing the journey by studying with the same teachers.  It’s a nice feeling to be able to know that these folks understand my language, that they are asking themselves the same questions I am asking myself.  We have created a history together over time and we support each other in our successes and our trials.  We know healthy boundaries and we respect each other’s but we also know how to support and bolster and share suggestions that honor and respect the other.  The tribe knows how to work together while supporting individual choices and processes.

I was recently introduced to an amazing lady in California.  Margie is 91 years old and retired last year after working in the same place for 23 years.  That means she started there at age 67!  Her husband died a long time ago and she lives in a beautiful house on the ocean.  She told me about a neighbor who became ill with cancer and during her 2-year illness the whole neighborhood joined together to support the family.  The woman died at the end of the 2 years but the neighborhood has remained a close community of folks since that experience.  Margie honored the woman’s memory by continuing to be a part of the ‘tribe’ that she had created.

Where in your life is there the possibility of creating a tribe?  Is there a group of which you are already a member that you might start thinking about as a tribe?  And, conversely, is there a group that you have joined that no longer resonates with the person you are on your personal and spiritual journey?  Why are you staying in that group?  Are they really your tribe?

I think a tribe begins with just 2 people of like mind.  It is fostered by mutual support and caring.  Others gather because they resonate with the energy of the original 2 or 3 or 4.  And a tribe is created.

Pay some attention this week to the groups in which you participate.  Step outside yourself and observe if you feel supported in this group.  Are you the best you can be?  Are you relaxing and being yourself with these people or must you put up a façade to fit in?  Notice how you feel before, during and after being with this group.  Are you uplifted?  Do you feel you are growing through your connections?

Become conscious of how your body is giving you signals about the people with whom you associate.  You’ll know if there is an uncomfortable energy incompatibility.  And you’ll know if you are resonating with the group and want to spend more time with them.

Explore or create your Tribes!
