THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: What is Your Current Reality?

Dear Ones,

We are poised to help you with the changes that you need to make in the coming days.  We wish to help you see what the changes are that you must make if you are to grow as a human community.  Are you ready to make that growth happen?

First we would have you consider what your reality is.  Are you stuck in beliefs that were formed by others before you or are you fully present to the current moment?  Your reality is created in every moment depending on what you believe about that moment.  Do you believe you are incompetent?  You will be incompetent in this moment.  Do you believe that the world is not supportive of you?  You will feel that you are not being supported in this moment.  Do you believe that other people wish to help you?  You will receive help.  Do you believe that the Universe is a benevolent place?  You will be the recipient of that benevolence.

Consider what you believe and shift your beliefs to coincide with your desires for the reality in which you exist today.  This is Step 1 in Conscious Living, back to the basics of creating consciously your own reality.

Next, examine your thoughts in every moment.  Are you empowering yourself with those thoughts or are you accepting the role of victim?  Are you understanding your relationship to the Universe as a whole or are you thinking that you are disconnected and alone?  To live a Conscious Life you must become aware of your thoughts.  Observe yourself thinking those thoughts.  This distance from yourself as the thinker allows you to perceive the unreality and false aspects of some of those thoughts.  Allow yourself the freedom to examine every thought you have in a given day.  What feeling does that thought generate?  What call to action is inherent in that thought?  Does it make you want to connect with others or to isolate yourself from the community?  Do you understand that there are thoughts that can have beneficial effects on your body but there are also thoughts that cause harm to your physical self?

Learn how much you can control your thoughts.  Just because many thoughts arise unbidden in your mind does not mean that you cannot control those thoughts.  It is not the rising up of the thought that creates discomfort in you – it is your attachment to that thought, your energizing of thoughts that do not expand you, that causes you distress.  Take charge of your thoughts.  Learn to observe and assess them before you embrace them.

This may take some practice for you but you will lead a more fulfilling life when you are not controlled by thoughts that cause you to contract rather than to expand.

Planet Earth has welcomed to her surface billions of people at this time who agreed to co-create the present day reality.  If you feel yourself disconnected from Mother Earth and/or from the others who inhabit her realm today, then you are stepping into a false existence that is not the true reality of 21st Century Life on the Planet.  Be responsible for your node in the network of the human community on Earth.  Own your role.  Participate fully in your own Life for you owe it to all other humans.

And you start this by taking charge of your thoughts and beliefs, something fully within your power to do today!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What Are You Waiting For?

I really hear this message!  It’s so easy to procrastinate, to put off bringing in or doing something that we REALLY want and the excuses we use can be pretty lame.  How often have you done this yourself?  I know I’m guilty!

When I move to the right house, when I have the right partner, when I have $X in the bank, when I get a new job…  It goes on and on.  There are so many good reasons to postpone doing something.  And yet if we are thinking about doing that ‘thing,’ whatever it is, there must be some energy available to it in the moment, some energy to support the thought.  Thoughts are things, right?  And thoughts, as everything, are made up of energy.  So it follows that there’s some energy there.

In 1974 I was waiting to move into the perfect house on the water before getting pregnant, but finally decided that I wasn’t getting any younger and that maybe I had the wrong priority.  We ended up finding the perfect house on the water the same weekend I got pregnant with my daughter and moved in months before the birth.  Funny how that seems to work, isn’t it?

So what are you waiting for?  And what can you do today, right NOW, to move in the direction of what you desire?

I have so many ideas floating around in my head for workshops, classes, teleseminars and all they are waiting for is for me to get them on the calendar.  What holds me back?  If I’m honest, it can be a fear of committing to the calendar.  Maybe there is a little insecurity about, “What if I schedule it and no one signs up?”  And yet is it fair to people who want to take the workshops, classes and teleseminars for me to withhold myself from them because of my ‘stuff’?

There are some magnificent artists who feel they aren’t good enough to sell their artwork, and yet the rest of us would love to purchase it, given the chance.  There are some amazing singers who think it’s okay to sing in the shower but are afraid to share that talent in public.  There are books and articles waiting to be published because the author judges them ‘not ready’ or ‘not interesting enough’ for sharing with others.  I’m thinking that this becomes pretty self-focused  — maybe we are given the talents and abilities that we have so that we can share these with others.

In many cultures, storytelling is an art and everyone is expected to share around the campfire or the town square.  People don’t judge, they just share whatever they have to share.  Can we adopt that attitude in our society?  Let’s agree to just share, not judge or wait for the perfect time.  We can agree to accept whatever the response is, without judging ourselves or others, and allow the impetus to come from within, to just share what is inside us.  If there truly is a stumbling block, an obstacle, then we can decide to accept help, to do the personal growth work or the spiritual work, and then to move forward.

Take one step today.  If you would like to examine the blocks or obstacles, then make an appointment with a counselor or coach and do the work.  But figure out that one step and then take it.  It can open a floodgate to the energy you were looking for to keep moving!

MUSE-INGS: Find Your Magic

Magic and Empowerment.  Interesting words to put together.

I love the word ‘magic’ because it conjures up [pun intended] all kinds of possibilities that are beyond the so-called normal realm.  As a little girl I lived in fairy tales with all sorts of magical things happening.  Of course, I also saw things that I now realize not everyone else was seeing.  Are all of our children seeing magic everywhere in their lives but having the magic shut down or blocked out of their vision?

Maybe life in the 21st Century has become so focused on reality that we forget to notice the magic in the reality around us.  We just watched the movie ‘Inception’ and the complexity of that dream world was fascinating.  Dream levels within levels within levels.  What’s real?  What is the dream?  Can the dream become real?  What great questions to ask ourselves!

If we, as a society, join in a collective dream, do we not manifest that as reality?  If we, collectively, agree that something is so, do we not project that belief into the world around us until reality is shaped by that belief?  Believing is Seeing.  In order to see something, we must first believe it to be visible.  Many scientific studies have shown that those who have been trained to see or not see something will manifest their belief in the world around them, even if ‘reality’ does not actually reflect that belief.  An ophthalmologist once told me that if an adult is given a pair of glasses that reverse what is seen to create an upside down image, that person’s brain will learn to reverse the image to make it upright within 3 days of wearing the glasses.  In a photography class, I learned that paper that appears white to our eyes is actually reflecting the light around it, such as green in fluorescent lighting or yellow in incandescent, but our brains translate the brightest paper into the white color we expect to see.  The camera doesn’t have this translator and takes a picture of green or yellow paper!

So how important is it that we check our belief systems periodically so that we can assess our reality?  Are we believing what we want to see?  Are we SEEING what we want to see or, if not, have we checked what we are believing about our reality?

As you go through your days this week, ask yourself what your reality is telling you about your belief system.  Look at yourself as the magician creating the illusions around you.  Then look at what you have created and ask if you feel empowered by that.  Let yourself move into your own power by practicing magic in little areas of your life, especially if you need to take baby steps.  Give yourself permission to play in your days.  Let yourself move into a feeling of personal empowerment by assessing your beliefs.  When I work with private clients, this is the first place we need to work, because sometimes our beliefs have been planted by others or were adopted by our younger selves and no longer have a place in our reality.  Sometimes we have let someone take away our magic.

My blessing to you this week is that you find your magic!  I trust that it is there for you to find!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Pay attention to the magic!

Dear Ones,

Where is the magic in your life today?  Are you aware of magic at work around you all the time?  Or do you think of magic as something that a magician does in a show to fool your eyes?

When we speak of ‘magic’ here we mean the unexplainable that happens in your life with wondrous results.  A person you haven’t seen in a long time comes to mind and shortly thereafter you see them or receive a phone call from them.  You need to buy a pair of shoes and when you get to the store the exact shoes you were looking for appear and are on sale.  You need a doctor and your friend brings up the name of a specialist she thinks is an excellent doctor.  The list of possibilities goes on and on.

But do you think of these as ‘magic’ or do you still believe in coincidence?

Magic happens in your life because you project outward into the Universal Consciousness a thought that forms a picture that has an energy attached to it that creates magnetism.  This chain, from your thought to the magnetic energy associated with it, is the real magician in your life.  This process is at work in your life whether you are conscious of it or not.  How many times have you said, ‘See?  I told you this wouldn’t work out [or that bad thing would happen or I wouldn’t get what I wanted]!’  When you worried about something or thought that you wouldn’t get what you wanted you energized that picture of problems or lack and that is what materialized.

The Universe is not a magician trying to fool your eyes with complex tricks to make you feel bad.  The Universe is, instead, a kind and generous place, working to fulfill the requests that you energize from a place of purity, compassion [for self and others], and a desire for the highest good of all.  When you are focused on these things, you have much magic at your disposal.

So how will you use your powers of magic from this day forward?  Do you think you can separate yourself from greed and personal desires and lift your thoughts into the space of what is good for all?  Wanting something for yourself is not necessarily greed in a negative sense, but wanting something that is not in your highest good or in the highest good of all around you does not bring you the happiness that you are seeking.  Beware of the insidious nature of greed, for it manifests in cloaked ways, masquerading as being for the good of all.

For example, there are those who seek much money with the claim that ‘someday’ they will do something philanthropic with their millions.  They sound like compassionate souls but that ‘someday’ is not energizing the magic that comes into the life of someone who, without the millions today, is still helping the less fortunate.  Greed for power over others is damaging to the greedy person as well as the people who become subjugated to that greed.  It might not look like ‘greed’ as you would expect but condescension, arrogance, a ‘me first’ attitude, are all examples of greed for power over others.  This energetic does not create real magic.

We are not saying that there is anything wrong with money or power, per se.  They are both words that describe energies in the human world.  What one does with money, how one relates to money and how much power over the decisions of one’s life that money has – these are what define the energy of money.  Power, within oneself, becomes empowerment to fulfill one’s Soul Purpose on Planet Earth.  However, when one wishes to exert power over another, one is attempting to take away that other’s personal empowerment and replace it with complacence and submission to someone else’s will.  This destroys the magic in both people’s lives.

Strive to use magic in your own life as a way to make all of Life around you be a glorious expression of the power inherent in human beings to bring Light into the world.  Focus on the ways that you can feel more empowered in your life, even if at times it seems that your power has slipped away.  Find a single area in which you feel empowered and focus on that area.  Then notice other areas where magic has occurred and notice how empowering that can be.

Pay attention to the magic in your life and you will start to feel empowered in all areas.  The magic is there for you to find!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Empowerment and Change

Change.  The word keeps popping up, it seems.  And some of us really don’t want any changes while some of us want everything to change.  How do you feel at this moment?  Is there something you would really like to change but don’t know how?  Or do you feel that you can’t, for whatever reason, make the change you desire because of repercussions or what other people will do/say?

Let’s agree that if we want to change we will figure out a way to do so.  For example, if you are wanting to change the way you eat but you have a family with whom you eat meals at home, what are you doing about your desire to eat differently?  If you don’t do it, then ask yourself if you are giving your power away.  If you really want to change, you can find a way to modify the food served so that everyone can be happy.  What else do you want to change that would only require a small shift in your thinking in order to facilitate that change?  Maybe the only shift is from “I can’t” to ‘How can I?”

When we are told that there is energy of change around us and we will be supported, then this is a good time to examine our lives in depth and honesty to determine what we wish were different.  I know the things I would like to do differently but maybe I use the other members of the household as an excuse to avoid making changes.  Do I really want to change or do I think I ‘should’ change?  That’s a good question to ponder, for if I really wanted to change maybe I would have done so already.  And if there is something I want to change I can go ahead and do it, when I am feeling personally empowered.

It all comes down to where my personal power resides.  Do I reach inside and tap into my own inner power or am I /have I given away my power to someone external to myself and I am allowing that to determine my current direction?

Once I have examined these questions I can make a conscious decision about how to move forward.  It seems to me that the times are coming when each of us must stand on our own while remaining connected to all others.  This is a skill that too many of us have not yet developed.  What is in my own highest good while I am considering the highest good of all?  This represents a delicate balance but awareness starts with self-awareness.  And self-awareness starts with self-observation.  Until we can learn to become dispassionate, nonjudgmental observers of ourselves, we cannot claim our own power and change ourselves and our lives.  The first change we must make is to observe without judgment and make our choices in that context.

And we must also learn that introspection is a good practice to cultivate.  Go inside and become acquainted with your inner, authentic self.  Are you pleasing others by ignoring how you really feel?  Are you operating under the influence of decisions made in your childhood?  What motivates you?  Are you constantly aware of parts of yourself that you are denying or are you accepting of yourself in your totality?

Practice asking yourself if what you are observing is real.  Is this true?  You might surprise yourself with your answers.  Learn how to get in touch with what is real for you in any given moment.  If you need help doing this, then work with a nonjudgmental counselor who will help you find the ‘you’ behind the mask.

As we approach change, in our own lives and in the Planet, we must be careful to be authentic and honest with ourselves.  The time is now to do the inner work and to find our own inner power.  Empowered individuals can revolutionize the world.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: You Can Change!

Dear Ones,

We are poised to help you as you move through the coming days when things will start to change for you.  Is there something about your life that you wish were different?  You will be able to change that.  Is there something about yourself that you wish to change?  You will be able to do that as well.

Your life is Your Life!  YOU are in charge of your life.  If others are causing you to feel things you do not wish to feel then you must make a change.  Sometimes that change is to move those people out of your life.  If you are feeling that you have lost control of your life, then you must regain control by changing the way you think about yourself and your life.

Do not give your power away to others.  It is an easy thing to do and can happen unconsciously in insidious ways.  You can start by loving someone and wanting to be what they want you to be.  Then you make choices to ‘keep the peace’ rather than to confront them about something that is bothering you.  And then you think to yourself that you will change at some nebulous later date and bring up what is bothering you, but not just now.  It doesn’t take long before you have given away your power to another.

Notice if there is anyone to whom you have given your power.  Your partner?  Your boss?  Your child?  Your parent?  Your friend?  This is not a judgment, Dear One, this is a time for you to observe yourself in your current life.  And this is the first step toward living a Conscious Life – becoming the observer of your own life.  Observe yourself without judgment.  Notice your own choices and your own feelings.  When you can observe yourself without judgment you give yourself the opportunity to grow.  If you insist on judging then you will get caught up in the ‘shoulds’ and you will miss the possibilities.

Now, decide today that you will hold onto your own power to control your own life.  This is a decision you can make that has nothing to do with other people.  If someone says or does something that you do not feel comfortable with, you have the option of reacting to that with your own power.  Decide whether or not you will let that in.  And decide whether or not you will take action about the situation.  Give yourself permission, from your own internal place of power, to choose not to take action, if you wish.  Make sure that you are deciding from inside you.

We said that we would be there to help you.  If you wish to make changes in your life or in yourself, you have only to ask and you will be guided and supported in making those changes.

The world around you is getting ready for some major changes.  There will be power shifts in high places and individuals will be facing major decisions.  The energy of change abounds and so this is a good time to make whatever changes you would like to make as you will be supported in those changes.

Reach inside yourself and search for your own inner guidance.  When you decide to change, make the change that helps you to grow.  This is a part of living a Conscious Life from the place of internal empowerment.

You are blessed and supported!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Be Empowered and Be Ready for the Coming Changes

Have you noticed how frightened so many people are about the coming changes?  Hollywood is even making scary movies about 2012.  How do YOU feel about change that is just around the corner?

Collaboration is a wonderful energy to work within.  When everyone is valued for the contribution they can make to an effort, when everyone in a group is accepted just as they are, and when all ideas are worthy of consideration, then the people involved feel valuable.  People want to feel that others value their contributions.  People want to know that they matter, as individuals and as a part of the collective.  And people who do feel valued tend to increase their contribution to a group effort.

Yet so many today are still clinging to the concept of the hierarchy and that ‘power over’ thing. Who really benefits from this structure?  Only the one at the top of the hierarchy.  Have you ever felt that you didn’t matter?  Has anyone ever treated you as if your idea were ‘dumb’ or that your contribution wasn’t valuable?  We’ve all had some experience like this, and it’s not comfortable.  I’ve watched people visibly shrink when they’ve been berated by someone else for voicing an opinion or trying to make a contribution.  It’s sad to see and makes everyone else feel uncomfortable.

So let’s try to move into the energy of cooperation and collaboration before the energies around us demand that.  In which of the areas of your life can you make this happen right now?  Your family?  Your work?  A club that you belong to?  Your tennis team?  Try sitting back in a group and watching the dynamics.  Are some of the people trying to take control while others are trying to be inclusive and soliciting contributions from everyone?  Notice how it feels as you observe this behavior.  When your family is together, is everyone valuing everyone else or is there someone dominating who discounts or criticizes what others are saying?  How do people feel when this is going on?

In a business meeting, notice how the meeting proceeds.  Does everyone feel that they can contribute or are some people holding back?  Sometimes experience has led a person to hold back because they have already been burned or discounted for voicing their opinion.  If you notice this, try to let the person know that YOU value them and their contribution.  You can shift the energy by being the one who introduces a pattern of inclusion, of valuing individuals.  Of course, in business, someone must bear ultimate responsibility for decisions but the entire atmosphere can improve if everyone feels that they were listened to, valued, even if the final decision isn’t in alignment with their suggestion.

When the energy flow doesn’t have to be about winning or losing, then everyone can contribute and the best ideas can be acted on.  When no one person is discounted or criticized, then the energy of collaboration supports all who are involved.  In the future we will see that those who have grasped this concept will be the ones with the forward motion, while those who are still looking for domination will be left behind.

Help others to learn this.  Children need to see that winning is not everything.  They naturally care about the kid who feels left out, or they are feeling left out themselves.  Show them how to cooperate.  Show them that working together toward a common goal is good for everybody.  And it’s not just children who need to learn this!

The best way to teach this is to model the behavior by valuing those around you, even if you disagree.  Find your own power from within yourself and you can allow others to do the same.  Remember the distinction between being ’empowered’ and wanting ‘power over.’  Do whatever work it takes to get in touch with your own inner power.  And be that in the world.

All will benefit.  And you will be ready for whatever energetic changes are coming!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Be Empowered and Collaborate!

Dear Ones,

Do not be afraid of the changes that are coming to Planet Earth and her peoples.  These changes will all be for the good of humanity.  Do not, though, interpret this to mean that all humans will be happy about the changes, for there will be many who are disturbed.  But if you are seeing these words, then you will be a part of the waves of change that will bring a great improvement to human life on Planet Earth.

Let us tell you some of what you can expect.

There are many people who live their human lives seeking only self-gratification and wealth.  Everything that they do, even their emotions, are centered on what benefit they will derive and whether or not they can increase their wealth.  They lead their lives as if most of the other beings on the planet do not matter.  What matters is what they think, believe, want, desire, and have in the bank as resources.  These people have turned away from their own heart.  They might be a part of your own community, or even your social group or family.  They are at the top and at the bottom of the strata of societies.  These people will not be happy when they experience the energy shifts that are coming to Planet Earth in the coming years.

The others, however – those who are heart-centered and who care for Mother Earth and her peoples, the environment, the animals and the children and the land – these people will be pleased to find that Mother Earth is unveiling new ways to support her inhabitants.  Those who are able to understand that collaboration is the way of the future and that domination will no longer work on Earth will be a part of the revolutionary times that are rapidly approaching the planet.

We hesitate to use the word ‘revolutionary’ when we are not advocating that people pick up arms to use against each other, but ‘revolutionary’ is how large the changes will be.  No longer will greed get someone exactly what they desire.  No longer will the heartless be able to define life standards for those who live heart-centered lives.  No longer will those who choose power over others rather than cooperation be the ones who will be in power, for all concepts of power will be rewritten in the light of the new energies.  ‘Power over’ another is not the same as being ’empowered,’ and those who find their personal power from within themselves will be the ones who become the decision makers of the future.  This will drastically change the way things are accomplished in the Earthly realm.

Think of yourself and how you feel when you tap into your own internal power.  Now consider how you feel when someone exerts authority in the narrowest sense of ‘power over’ you.  When you feel empowered you are able to stand your own ground while at the same time listening to and considering what others are suggesting.  When you are more interested in exerting power over others, though, you choose not to consider those around you and you make pronouncements and issue orders.  The people of the latter belief will start to lose ground as ‘the powerful ones,’ for the energies that are coming in the shifts about to happen will only support those who know how to operate in cooperation with others.

Collaboration is the way of the future.  All people must learn these skills or be left by the wayside.  Businesses, families, social groups, educational institutions – all must figure out a way to support individuals who are personally empowered from within.  All individuals must learn to operate from their heart-minds, and must move forward considering the effect of their choices on the people and the planet around them.

And so, Dear Ones, we wish you to seek your own personal power within.  Choose to hold onto your own power.  Do not give your power away to others.  Find a way to clear the blocks to being an empowered individual so that you can magnify your gifts by collaborating with others.  The world will be a better place when you and the others have achieved this!

And so it is.
