MUSE-INGS: Give Yourself the “All-Clear” Signal by Rosemary Bredeson

It is so important to remember to breathe when we feel distressed!  And certainly being surrounded by stress, strife, discord, anger and hatred will make us feel distressed!

What do you do when you feel the atmosphere around you becoming charged with energy that doesn’t resonate with you?  Do you try to fight back? Do you remove yourself from the situation?  Do you try to change the situation in some other way?

For most of us, the desire arises to make a change in a charged situation, but you must start to examine what you are trying to accomplish.  For some people, their desired outcome is to achieve harmony, keep the peace, end the discord because it feels so uncomfortable when the energy is that discordant.  For others, they want to jump into the discord and ‘duke it out’ until things are resolved, loving the fight as much as they love to win.  And some people choose to remove themselves, allowing the situation to resolve or not independently of their participation.  Do you know your own style when you are feeling that a situation around you has grown uncomfortable?

We must all become more aware of the energies around us.  We feel them but we do not always take the time to identify and classify what we are feeling.  Energy is just energy.  It is not inherently negative or positive, good or bad.  We can, however, judge it compatible or incompatible with our own energy field.  And how much work are you willing to do to clear your own energy field of all the energy that is not compatible with you?

Here is the work for today’s human being – clear the energies.  Clear your own field first, clear your environment, work to clear the Earth of energies that do not sustain her.  If you do not know how to clear energy, then learn, for this skill is needed immediately to keep you healthy and moving forward in your development.  I’ve worked with many clients who simply need to have someone else’s energy attachments removed from their energy field in order that they might feel stronger and clearer.  Carrying around someone else’s energy, especially if it is severely discordant with your own, can drain you and eventually even make you sick.  Removing the influence of that incompatible energy can have an amazing effect on how you feel.

And I’ve worked with clients where, as soon as we did this clearing work, other people could sense that something had happened.  This is not to judge others, for energy cords are usually unconscious attachments, but this clearing can be powerful for both parties because each person is holding only their own energy afterward.

When you get caught up in discordant energies around – for example, when people are fighting or there is a backbiting situation at work – then it becomes difficult for you to be in your own energetic space, clear about the vibrations that are compatible with you.  Do what it takes to clear your own energy field.  Allow in only that which is compatible with the energetic level that you wish to experience.  You CAN be in charge of your own energy field if you are just conscious about it!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Help others and raise your vibration!

Dear Ones,

We wish you to be a blessing to those around you.  Do you think of yourself as such?  When you think of helping others, do you do it from a position of humility or do you consider your help from a position of pride?

Many people think that helping others is something that charities do formally.  Oh, they might occasionally hold a door for someone else but they don’t look for the extra help that they can offer.  It is one thing to hold the door for the person behind you but do you look around to see if there is another way to help or another person for whom you might wait while holding the door?  Do you notice the people around you who could use a little bit of help just to make things easier?

The sensitive ones among you live this way, totally aware of those around them and what help can be offered at any time.  Think of being sensitive to others’ needs as being tuned into the vibrations that another person is sending out.  If someone is struggling to carry a load of packages and drops one, they are signaling, in an energetic way, that they need to have the package picked up.  If no one offers to help then they must do so awkwardly and then try to regain their equilibrium.  If, on the other hand, you pick up on their distress and reach down for them to pick up their dropped package, you send out a vibration of Love, as shown by your assistance to another human being.

Notice that we did not say that you must feel ‘love’ for that other human being.  Rather, your assisting them comes from a heart-level vibration that is spreading the frequency of Love in the world.  Does this make sense to you?

Every action, every emotion, every thought has its own vibration.  There are very different frequencies associated with emotions such as Love and Hate.  There are very different frequencies associated with Helping and Ignoring.  The energy that comes from the Heart, such as Love and Helping energies, is of a higher vibratory frequency than the energy of Hate or Ignoring.  Your task as a person who is evolving human consciousness is to lift your own vibration at every opportunity.  The question to ask yourself is, ‘How can I raise my own vibration?’

Are you aware that every time that you make a choice to do something that comes from your Heart you are helping to raise the consciousness of all humanity?  As you act within the energy of higher frequencies you modify your own energetic field to resonate outwardly that higher vibration.  Everyone and everything around you benefits from this higher vibration.

Why is this important at this time?  YOU are important at this time because you are learning to lift your own vibratory frequency level and, thus, have an impact on your environment.  The natural environment that surrounds you needs this assistance.  The people around you need for you to do this.  Even situations, especially emotionally- charged situations, need for a higher vibration to lift them from the mire in which they reside.

In the 21st Century much of Planet Earth, including her inhabitants, suffers from neglect (at best) and intentional damage (at worst).  The environment is struggling to gain equilibrium just as the person who must awkwardly juggle packages while reaching down to retrieve a dropped package is struggling to do this alone.  The Planet needs your assistance and there are many other people in your environment who also need your help.

Think about ways in which you can help the Planet and her people, the oceans and ocelots, the forests and the fauns.  All about you there are vibrations of neglect and disharmony and distress and damage.  YOU, however, have the power to counteract these vibrations by radiating outwardly the energy vibration of LOVE.

Does it sound as if we are describing the so-called ‘tree huggers’ and ‘hippies’ of days gone by?  This is not what we are suggesting here, although there is nothing wrong with the message of Love that these folks shared. The important thing for you to understand is that everything is energy, everything has a level of vibration associated with it and we call this vibration that thing’s ‘frequency.’  All of humanity, all of the creatures on and in Planet Earth and the very planet itself are experiencing the opportunity to be lifted up in vibratory frequency so that Love can radiate through the world and other, lower vibrations, like Hate, can be transformed.  Radiate Love from your own heart center without judgment, without pride, without worrying about how it is being received and you will be doing your work to lift the entire Planet to a higher vibratory frequency.

In future messages we will talk about how important this is for the future on Planet Earth.

For now, send out Love.

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey”

“My right mind celebrates its freedom in the universe and is not bogged down by my past or fearful of what the future may or may not bring.  It honors my life and the health of all my cells.  And it doesn’t just care about my body; it cares about the fitness of your body, our mental health as a society, and our relationship with Mother Earth.”

by Jill Bolte Taylor

Do you know Jill Bolte Taylor’s story?  She studies the brain and she suffered a stroke that allowed her to do her studying and observing from the inside out.  What she learned about how the right hemisphere operates changed her life.  It is very easy to get stuck in our left brains, the parts that use logic and rely on what we are taught, but within our right brain lie the connections to The Greater, to Joy, and to each other.  When we use our intuition, we get better information to guide ‘our relationship with Mother Earth’!  [I highly recommend watching Ms. Taylor’s video from Ted TV on YouTube if you haven’t seen it.  And this book is inspiring!]

MUSE-INGS: Going ‘Home’!

I know the feeling of being ‘home’ when I step onto the Big Island of Hawaii.  Every time, and I’ve been there often, it creates such a feeling of peace just to touch the Earth there.  I’ve had some amazing spiritual experiences in the Hawaiian Islands and have loved being there, even the week that was rainy from start to finish. I probably learned the most spiritual lessons that week! And every visit since then has held even greater learnings for me.

But lately I’ve been feeling drawn to the West Coast of America, and that’s a bit of a surprise to me.  Having spent most of my life in the DC area, I never thought I’d consider living near LA but that’s on the radar screen.  So why is this coming up at this time in my life?  Am I supposed to move there immediately?  What about this house in Colorado where we live now?

Have you ever felt drawn to move or to travel or to be somewhere other than where you are in a given moment?  I think Mother Earth is calling each of us to be in the spot where she can support us more fully as we go through the coming changes.  It might be near to where we currently live or it might be thousands of miles away.  We might even need to split our time between 2 homes to tap into different Earth energy depending on the time of year and our activities.  I once felt an overwhelming urge to visit Hawaii and a week later we were on a plane!  That was the trip where we met a Kahuna and had some wonderful experiences.

Where are you feeling that you should visit?  Or do you feel that you are nearing the time to make a move?  Is some external event or person causing you to change where you live?  This is all wonderful, even if the circumstances don’t FEEL wonderful at the moment!  You are receiving guidance from the Universe about your next move.  You are being led to the next home, the place where Mother Earth can cradle you in her arms and nurture you with her loving energy.  Whether the cause of the move is economic, emotional or expedient doesn’t matter.  Trust that you are being helped to the place where you need to be for the time being.

There are no accidents.  Whatever is happening to indicate that you need to be somewhere on Mother Earth other than exactly where you are now is a sign that you are on the spiritual path of personal growth.  And if you feel perfectly content in the exact spot where you now are, then you can relax and enjoy the connection and the nurturing/nourishing energy that comes from the Mother.  Where are you planning  to visit on your next trip?   Do you have a feeling that maybe you should go somewhere soon?  Maybe the time isn’t right yet but you feel that the time is coming.  In that case, you might want to get a picture of the place to which you feel drawn and post it on your vision board, or above your desk, so that you can send a message to Mother Earth letting her know that you hear her call and that you agree to follow that call when the time is right.

Get ready to pack your bags!  Whether moving your home or visiting somewhere else, Mother Earth will support you wherever you go!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are you feeling at home?

Dear Ones,

Where in the world of Planet Earth do you consider your ‘home’?  Have you thought about having a ‘home’ that has nothing to do with the house in which you live?  We would tell you that ‘home’ is a word describing where your connection to Mother Earth is felt the strongest.

Many people think that home is where their job is, or even where their family of origin lives or originated.  But this is a limited understanding of ‘home.’  Your job and your family do not define you – your Life Purpose, the reason you incarnated on Planet Earth in a human body – this defines you.  You came to the Planet to be the person that you are at your core and that person lives in a resonance with many places on Planet Earth.  But at any single time, there is a single place on  Earth that is your spiritual home.  This is the place that feeds your spirit, that energizes you and uplifts you and helps you to sort through confusion.  For some of you this place is near or within the home/house in which you currently dwell.  For others, it might be a place that you visit on holiday, or that you remember fondly from a previous experience.  Some of you might not have found yet a place on Earth that feeds your spirit in this way.

Finding and connecting with your ‘home on Earth’ is an important action for you to take during your lifetime.  This quest begins with questioning yourself about how fulfilling you feel your present life is.  If you feel that there is something missing, if you are always busy but not accomplishing that which you desire to accomplish, if you are feeling unhappy but the outward signals indicate that you ‘should’ feel happy, then perhaps you are not yet connected with your ‘home on Earth.’  Have you ever felt that connection?  Have you ever felt so at peace in a certain location that you really didn’t want to leave it?  This is how it feels when you are connected to your spiritual home on Earth.

Now you might have had this experience often, especially when you are relaxed on vacation or visiting an exotic locale.  We are not saying that there is only one place on Earth that is your home for your whole lifetime.  You might find that at different times different places on Earth resonate with you.  There might be many such locations, and you do not necessarily have to live permanently at one of these.  But for you to feel your strongest connection to Mother Earth, you must visit the place that you determine to be your spiritual home at a given time.

Can you name that place right now?  Do you know where you would go if tomorrow you were given an airplane ticket to Your Spiritual Home on Earth and told to get there quickly?  Whatever your answer to that is implies whether or not you have yet connected.  You might even know innately where that place is without having previously visited there.  And the place that seems to call you today might not be the same place that last year or 10 years ago was the place that seemed to be your spiritual home, for you have been growing and expanding your awareness over time and your need for Earth connection can change.

Many people think of India or Hawaii as the most spiritual places on Earth, and they certainly hold that kind of energy.  But did you know that YOUR strongest connection to Mother Earth might call you to Boise, Idaho or London, England or Miami, Florida?  It is not just those locations that look like spiritual places that call a human being to them.  There are many other factors, including the Earth energies in different places.  Some people can feel an energy vortex in Sedona, Arizona for example and others feel peaceful floating in a boat on the waters of Alaska.  Some feel the power of a huge waterfall while others need to be within the sight of the Rocky Mountains.

What is important is that each individual find the place on Earth at this time that feeds their spirit, that nourishes them with the energies of Mother Earth, and that they find time to visit that location and allow their physical bodies to absorb the energy of their ‘home.’  It is also important to remove yourself from a spot that feels as if it drains your energy.  Are you living somewhere that does not support you?  Are you longing to visit or live somewhere else?  Pay attention to those feelings.

Not only might you find that connecting to Mother Earth’s special energy for you gives you motivation to take action in your life but you also might find that your Life, your Relationships and your Business/Career/Work will be energized because they are supported in additional ways.

And maybe you just need to relax at the most relaxing spot on the Earth that calls to you today!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What You Give, You Receive

Each of us CAN have a great impact on the world around us but it is so easy to become insular and forgetful of our place in the greater scheme of things.  Sometimes it feels as if we are alone, sometimes as if the crowds are crushing us, and sometimes we can feel both at the same time.  Yet we can choose to ‘be peace’ in a particular situation and to reap the benefits of that.

It is true that we receive as we give out.  What we give we get back multiplied.  This applies not just with money but with words, with energies.  We treat someone nicely and they treat the next person nicely, and the next person we encounter treats us nicely.  It is very simple, really.

On a grander scheme, if we meditate on Peace and Love, we enhance the energy of those vibrations.  There are studies showing the impact a group of meditators can have on the crime rate of a city, and it takes only 1 % of the residents meditating to have that positive impact.  If you and I agree that on a certain day we will focus on Peace for 5 minutes, imagine the impact we could have.  What if we each got 10 people to do that, and each of them got 10 people to do it, too?  We could have an impact.  As a matter of fact, I think I will propose this project on Facebook and choose a time, such as the Spring Equinox or Summer Solstice, where everyone can pause for 5 minutes and focus on Peace for Planet Earth.  If we all did this, and invited our friends to join us, we could have a rolling 5 minutes of Peace around the Planet for every time zone just as the Equinox or Solstice peaked.

So what can you do every day to participate in sharing the frequency of Peace and Love in your immediate world?  Can you greet people from a place of acceptance in your heart?  Can you drive your vehicle with tolerance and love toward others on the road?  How about picking up the telephone and calling someone just to let them know you were thinking of them with love or fondness?  How about, instead of raging at someone who has made a mistake or who has frustrated you today, you choose to take a deep breath and then create in your mind a reason why they might have done that and forgive them?

It doesn’t take long before acting this way becomes a habit.  You can shift your automatic pilot to react with peaceful feelings if you become aware of your instinctual reactions and pause before you act on them.  Learning to ‘hit the pause button’ is the first step to Conscious Living.  Focus this week on catching yourself about to slip into some negative energy and refocus that energy in a positive direction.  Wouldn’t you expect to have a positive week if that’s what kind of energy you put out there?

As a caveat, please do not equate a week of ‘smooth sailing’ with no glitches to be a positive week.  Those are nice, but Life brings with it many challenges, big and small.  It is not about what is thrown at us, but about how we respond to those challenges that make us evolving, conscious human beings.  Choose to respond in a positive fashion and others will react to you this way.

As an example, I had a frustrating visit to a 5-star hotel in California this week.  It started with my entering my assigned room and finding it already occupied, including dog!  There were several other mishaps and frustrations but I tried to maintain a peaceful attitude and asked specifically for the remedies I expected, all the while being friendly to the staff with whom I was interacting.  In every case they took care to offer me more than adequate recompense.  I suspect that if I had stormed and screamed they would not have been so generous.  And others who had problems were reluctant to bring it to the attention of management, but this is not spreading peace because they were feeling extreme frustration and anger.

So choose how you react to what comes to you in Life.  And choose that that reaction be one that spreads the vibration of Peace and Love around you.  The Planet will thank you and you will receive the benefits.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: You impact the Planet – speak Peace!

Dear Ones,

The 21st Century represents the dawn of a new era in the evolution of human consciousness.  For previous centuries the individuals have been learning about their own lives and what is required of them to grow and survive on Planet Earth.  In the 18-20th Centuries people traveled farther from home and learned about other cultures to a much greater extent than had been previously possible, except for a few explorers.  In the 21st Century, the entire Planet is connected via airwaves and computer networks and satellites.


An individual can no longer consider himself or herself to be a separate entity, one who can make choices without affecting the rest of humanity.  No human being is a totally separate entity.  In fact, no one ever has been, but the connections have not been as vast as they are in the 21st Century.

Each individual must consider the repercussions of every action that they take, not only on their immediate environment but also on the Planet as a whole and on all the other peoples of Earth.  Every step upon the Planet leaves an impact.  We are not talking here of just the environment as Nature and soil and air and water.  No, we are talking as well about the energetic environment on Planet Earth.  When a person or a group of people engage in activities that stir up hatred and dissension that energy has a ripple effect around the Earth.  And when a person or a group of people engage in activities that generate peace and love that energy, too, has an effect around the world.

Imagine that you are one individual who can affect the energy of the entire world with your thoughts and actions and the energy that you generate.  Why would you then generate negative energy, or hatred, or anger and let that energy move around the Planet affecting the whole world?  But if you focused your thoughts and activities on generating peace and love and acceptance and tolerance, imagine the impact that would be felt around the Planet.

Do not think that one person can have no impact on all the others on the Planet or on the Planet herself.  Think of those individuals who have single-handedly led groups of people into slaughtering other groups, or who have created economic conditions that caused the death of many people.  In the 21st Century there are those who are having such an effect in their countries that many people are dying because of politics or the exercise of power or the greed of leaders.  If one person can have a vast effect in the negative sense, then the laws of energy would indicate that one person can also have a vast effect in a positive way.

Be that one person yourself.  You do not have to be in the news programs.  You do not have to be or become famous.  You do not have to be wealthy.  Focus your energy on being peace and love and acceptance and tolerance, to those immediately around you and in a general sense toward the whole world.  Your example will inspire others. When you treat those around you with these energies they will, in turn, spread that vibration of energy to their circle.

Be careful of your speech. Catch yourself before you utter the words that would counteract the energy of peace and love.  Notice how your speech patterns are reflecting the energy of peace and love.  Consciously choose to think and speak of these higher vibrations.

We do not say this only for the good of the Planet Earth.  There is a benefit to you as an individual as well, for the vibration that you cast into the atmosphere around you is multiplied and returned to you magnified – be careful what level of vibration you cast into the atmosphere!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Can We Expand Consciousness in the Face of Disaster?

Dear Ones,

We are pleased that so many people are discussing the advancement of human consciousness in these important days.  You will soon know why this is so important.

As people on Planet Earth begin to realize that there is something greater than their everyday life they will also start to look at each other with enlightened eyes.  Understanding that the greater is much greater than earlier perceptions would indicate gives one the scope to embrace all other humans with acceptance and an open heart.  Those who are getting a glimpse into the greater Light of expanded awareness are also feeling that expansion in their own hearts so that they can reach out from a place of Universal Love to others.

When there are big events like earthquakes and tsunamis on Earth there is more going on than the news stories portray.  Human compassion can be opened to reach out to those who have been touched by disaster.  But there is also an opening of the heart chakra of all humanity when so many are focused on one group of people.  It is said that there has been an ‘outpouring of compassion’ when thousands of people are affected by an event.  This outpouring comes from a unification of purpose, a desire to be of assistance, a concern for the plight of other humans.  These are all fostered by the Love of one human for all others at a very basic level.

Now we would tell you that there are some who are not moved by compassion in these circumstances.  There are some who see these situations as opportunities for making money, for exerting power and influence.  These people have lost the connection to Soul, to the human heart that beats in them and that was once connected to the Universal Love Source but whose connections they have worked to sever.  These people live in a bleakness that has drained the color from their existence.  Darkness and black indicate a total lack of light and color.  Light, brilliant white light, contains all the colors of the rainbow as any prism will show you.  Those who live a bleak existence cannot see the colors of light because they have shut their hearts and eyes to that color.  It is almost as if they must put on dark glasses to block the tiniest ray of light from their view.

But these people are in the minority on Planet Earth.  Why do so many give power to the few?  As we look upon the inhabitants on Earth at any given time we wonder at those who choose to remain in ignorance of their own inner power.

Each human being is born onto the Planet with a heart filled with Light and Love just waiting to be expressed within his or her environment on the Planet.  Even those born into uncomfortable situations are filled with this Light and Love at their birth.  They live a life that is waiting to unfold and to grow that Light and Love to the fullest they are able.  Childhood is a time of Lightness, of play.  Even those who have nothing according to material standards on Earth have a sense of delight at play.  Those who are hungry long for food but still know how to smile at a loved one.  And those who have plenty will laugh and play and love with abandon.

So what is it that shuts down this Light and Love that is within every human heart at birth?  It is not just the accident of circumstances, the childhood experiences, the schooling one receives that does this.  It is the conscious choice to select greed over Love, power over Light, to inflict harm without compassion for others.  When one can dispassionately kill or harm or deny care to others then one has stepped away from Love and Light.

But most people on Planet Earth have not moved so far from Love and Light that they cannot retrace their steps to offer Love and Light to others.  When Mother Earth offers an opportunity to expand the Love and Light within, as she does with every so-called ‘disaster’ of natural causes, then She is offering all of humanity an opportunity to open their heart and spread Love and Light around the Planet.  Every act of compassion increases the Love and Light available on Planet Earth.   Every disaster is an opportunity for the expansion of consciousness for all humanity.

Think on these thoughts.

And so it is.

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.
