MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: “Joy — the Reward for Being Who You Really Are!”

Dear Ones,

Joy is a gift that you give yourself when you do the inner work required to experience personal and spiritual growth.  Think about how important it is to do the work, constantly and devotedly, to live a Conscious Life.  You cannot take ‘time off’ from this work.  But it does not need to be tedious.

When you make the commitment to live consciously you open yourself to the awareness of Life that starts within you.  Everything you do or think is then focused through the lens of the greater picture of how you live, what you choose and how you fit into the fabric of the Universe in a given moment.  Once you have learned the importance of becoming awake and aware at all times, you cannot go back to sleep.  Oh, you can choose at times to act as if you are ignorant of what we are saying, but there will always be a part of you that is longing for that consciousness of the greater import of what you are choosing and how you are living your life.

And Joy is the reward for living the Conscious Life!  This Joy of which we speak is the Joy that resides deep within you, that cannot be shaken by outer circumstances.  You will feel this deep Joy when you are staying awake and aware of the choices you make in a given day.  Noticing what is required of you by the others around you gives you a hint of the consequences of choosing to go back to sleep. People need for you to stay awake.  People around you have a need for you to be who you are, at all times.  When you find yourself believing that you must put up a false front for someone, question whether that person really needs to be in your life at this time.

Think about that.  If you cannot be yourself, your true, authentic, self, at all times with a person, then why are you in relationship with that person?  Time is speeding up for humans on Planet Earth at this time and there is no time to waste playing the game of being a different person for each other person with whom you interact.  Do you feel that you are walking on eggshells around a certain person because you cannot relax and be who you are?  Are you concerned about losing the love or respect of someone because you do not have the energy to keep up the pretense of being what they want or expect instead of who you really are?

Own your very essence, the true being that you are at your core.  The time for pretense has long passed.  Now is the time for authenticity.  Do you struggle with knowing who you really are?  Are you concerned that you have lost touch with your authentic inner self?  Then get some help in that discovery.  Go inside.  Consult with a guide.  Meditate or journal or work with someone until you know, with certainty, who you are.

For you are very important to the Plan of the Universe as it is unfolding.  The 21st Century is a time where this Plan is developing and expanding and manifesting the reality of the rest of the Century and you play an integral part in that Plan.  But first you must be clear about who you are.  Then you must be that and only that.

And we promise you that Joy is the reward you will receive for committing to be your authentic self in the World!

And so it is.

Muse-ings: Time is speeding up — figure out your Life Purpose Now!

It always seems that a discussion of one’s Life Purpose brings some emotions into play that relate to the enormity of that purpose. It’s called ‘stepping out in a big way.’

Our spirit knows why we have come onto the planet at this time and our whole life is focused on accomplishing that Life Purpose. I’ve heard this called our ‘Big Why.’ What is YOUR ‘Big Why’? Have you given this much thought?

There are many systems for self knowledge that all try to point you in the direction of your purpose but it’s so easy to get derailed because we feel inadequate to accomplish something that big. We think, ‘Who am I to think I have a mission that important or that big?’ Or we think that ‘Someday I will do that work but now I must focus on [making money, taking care of my family, pursuing my education, etc.].’

This week’s Mystic Message seems to want us to develop a sense of urgency around this. ‘Time is speeding up.’ There might not be the leisure of extra time to delay the manifesting of our Life Purpose. What are we waiting for?

That is the important question: What are we waiting for?

NOW is the time to learn what your Life Purpose is so that you can be about the business of living that Purpose. What have you done so far to discover this?

I have worked with many clients who wish to have this question answered for them and their guides have offered clarification for them. For some the answer comes through scientific hand analysis because the messages contained in the patterns of our hands are unique to us and to our purpose in being on the planet. It has been fascinating to study this technique of determining one’s Life Purpose and then to see how often what is revealed in a hand reading is just a confirmation of what the person has been feeling/thinking/wanting to do. Our inner spirit KNOWS why we are here, if we take the time and make the effort to listen to the wisdom.

What have you done lately to check that you are on the path of personal growth in the direction you must go to fulfill your Life Purpose? Are you struggling with the question of why you are here?

There are many ways that you can determine the answer to this question and most don’t require that you sit on top of a mountain in the Himalayas and ponder this for years!

Meditate on the questions you have about your life. Journal about these questions and tap into your inner wisdom to receive answers. Talk about this deep subject with trusted advisors. Have a reading with someone you trust to help you see what you cannot see or confirm what you are feeling. Think about scheduling a scientific hand analysis session so that you can start to learn about the messages that are right at your fingertips!

Whatever path you choose, do explore this topic for yourself, especially if you feel that there is something missing in your life, something more for you to be/do. Remember that ‘time is speeding up’!

Upstream or Downstream? Your Choice!

Dear Ones,

The energy of these days is spiraling upward so that more people are called to notice how they are feeling and what they are being called to do and to be. Have you paid attention to how you feel when you experience different situations? Do you tune in to your body when you are around certain people to see what your inner sense of the experience is telling you?

No longer can you gravitate toward those situations that you once thought were comfortable if you feel drawn to elevate your energy levels by making different choices. No longer can you associate with those people whose energy drains you or pulls you down when you feel as if you could be soaring with the eagles. No longer will you be living in a place where the energy is not compatible with the human being that you are evolving into when there are other places on Planet Earth that are more compatible with your new vibratory frequencies.

It is time for you to move forward in your personal growth. Is there a job, a relationship or a town that you must move beyond in order that you might continue your growth? What do you hold as a vision of your future and how compatible is the space in which you currently find yourself? What changes are you feeling called to make in your life immediately, not some day conveniently in the future?

Who are you shifting into? Where is your energetic pattern? What is the next level of growth for you?

All of these questions are important questions for you, for no human can stagnate where they currently are if they wish to remain a conscious human being. Those who choose to stagnate will actually feel as if they are swimming upstream. Those who choose to grow will be flowing downstream easily and effortlessly as they are carried by the current of 21st Century human evolution. Allowing the growth, the expansion to occur actually frees you to explore new ways of being. When you know that you can let go of old patterns of behavior then you are free to choose new modes of operation that bring you further development of the new human that you are becoming. Think of the animals that must shed their skins to grow and develop new outer bodies. You are like those animals. You must shed the skin of that which has been binding you to the underdeveloped you. Let go of that constricting shell and allow yourself to move freely as you develop the outer expression of the new ‘inner you.’ Feel how free you are when you are no longer confined to the boundaries that you previously thought defined you.

Now notice that you are attracting to yourself the kind of people who are also feeling free of restrictive boundaries and who are exploring their own personal growth experiences.

The more conscious of this growth you become the faster the growth pace accelerates. Your work becomes your play as you allow the expansion, rather than forcing or fighting that energy. The new you has its own new energy field. Everything around you will align to this new field. And everything that no longer resonates with your energy will fall away from you.

Relax. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Each day is unfolding as it must to support you in your personal growth. Start each day with gratitude for the, as yet, unknown opportunities for growth and a curiosity about what those opportunities will look like. Enjoy the process!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Are you grateful for the Plan?”

Dear Ones,

What are you feeling grateful for today?  How often do you allow yourself to stay in the energy of gratitude?

Many people say ‘thank you’ without even getting in touch with the energy of gratitude but there is much to be said about allowing yourself the time to feel deep, true gratitude for Life.  No matter what is going on in your life YOU are NOT your circumstances!  There is always something for which you can feel grateful.

The Sun is still in the sky.  There are flowers to enjoy.  You are inhaling and exhaling as you read this.  Your heart has known joy and pain and still keeps pumping blood throughout your body.  The list goes on and on.  And when you create a space in your energetic being for gratitude to live then you can shift your perspective on everything else.

Remembering that there are lessons contained in every event, circumstance and relationship in your life, you will grow more swiftly when you stay in gratitude for those lessons, even the ones that are uncomfortable or painful.  There are people with whom you come into contact who bring you lessons, again, even the uncomfortable ones, and you can feel grateful for them.  Imagine how many other people for whom YOU have been the bearer of a lesson!  Be grateful for that, too.

As you move along the pathways of your Life Plan you are navigating uncharted territory, for there has never been nor will there ever be another You.  The entire Universe is grateful to you for showing up at this time in human history to fulfill your unique role in the unfolding of the Universe’s Plan.  Be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the evolution of humanity.

Do you feel as if Life is passing you by or that the lessons are too painful to endure?  You are not alone but you are a person of courage, for only those spirits who have a great deal of courage have agreed to live on Planet Earth during these changing times.  Your spirit is indomitable.  You are brave and bold.  You created your own lesson plan before your spirit took on a human body.  And now you are about to graduate to a higher level of the expression of the greatness of humanity.  Go with the flow of this expression.  Do not allow yourself to sink into the troubles you perceive around you.  All is developing according to the Plan that the Universe has for Planet Earth in the 21st Century.  All is developing according to the Plan for your individual life, but you are not disconnected from all the other individuals so join in community with like-minded people to move through the coming changes.  Even Mother Earth is experiencing change in her climate.  And change in any form has the power to cause fear in those who lack courage.

But you, Dear One, do not lack courage.  You agreed to be on Planet Earth to assist her in moving through these changes.  You have a part to play in the unfolding of the Plan.

And the energy that will sustain you through the changes is the energy of Gratitude.  For when you feel and experience Gratitude you observe without sinking into despair, you tackle the tasks before you while you stay committed to your Life Purpose, and you share your life freely with others who are also on the path, welcoming their company as together you move forward.

Do not fear the coming changes.  Rather, be grateful that they are finally here.  The world will rejoice on the other side of these changes for you will be reunited with the other spirits who agreed to share this time with you.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Change your thoughts. Change yourself. Change the World!

Has there ever been a word so over-used as ‘change’ in the 21st Century?  Everyone talks about change and everyone means something different by it.  Do you ever get frustrated and wish things could just stay the same for awhile?

I think there are a lot of people who have made that decision and they are even going so far as to try to drag society along with them in a regressive direction, going back to some fantasy past that they envision as idyllic.  They are fooling themselves.

Human beings are growing all the time.  The human brain is learning and creating new neural pathways with every new thought.  These pathways are reinforced with the repetition of those new thoughts.  We can diet and lose weight.  We can exercise and build muscles.  Our hair, skin, posture can all change.  We age, some gracefully and some kicking and screaming all the way.  Children grow into adults, adults grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  All things are in forward motion through the Fourth Dimension of Time.

And so we are each, individually and collectively, called to grow.

What have you done lately to grow beyond where you have been? What new thoughts have you exercised to create those neural pathways?  What creative activities have you engaged in lately?

Growth is an urge within each of us.  The baby progresses from rolling over to crawling to standing to walking.  How many times does that cute little diapered-bottom hit the floor before the first confident steps move the baby across the room?  The urge to walk is stronger than the urge to avoid falling down.

Do you have that determination to master something new in your life today?  Are you willing to focus on the goal long enough that you can get up every time you fall down and strike out again and again toward that goal?  Are you willing to change your steps so that you gain your balance and can propel yourself forward?

Making the commitment to keep moving forward in your own life will model for those around you what they, too, must do.  Growth demands constant attention, especially to our thoughts.

I recently worked with a client who is on a path of personal growth and the most important thing for her to learn was to move beyond the beliefs that had held her captive her whole life.  We can change what we believe, we can control our thoughts, we can handle our emotions rather than be held captive by them.  Identifying limiting beliefs and becoming aware of the impact they are having gives us the start we need to change those beliefs.  You can believe that you are unworthy or unlovable or undeserving, or you can decide to believe something different about yourself from this moment forward.  These are often underlying beliefs that I see in clients and there are ways to move these thoughts into supportive positions.

No one is unworthy or unlovable or undeserving if they are on a path of personal growth.  YOU are worthy.  YOU are lovable.  YOU are deserving of fulfilling your dreams.

Now, do you believe that or do you need to do some further work on clearing your limiting beliefs?  And once you have cleared the limitations are you willing to do the work to embrace the responsibilities that come with greater understanding?

This week allow yourself to consider making some changes in yourself, your beliefs, in your life.  Choose an area and really explore what it is you would like to change and why.  Ask yourself what the best strategy is for bringing about that change.  Can you do it yourself or do you need help?  Do you wish to keep this process private or do you wish to have an ‘accountability partner’ to whom you state your plan and to whom you report your progress?  Find a way to make changes while honoring yourself and your needs.  Don’t change because someone else wants you to – go inside and really examine yourself and your desires.

Change can be a good thing although many of us fear any kind of change.  YOU be the one who models for others that change can be a conscious choice to live a better, more fulfilling life.  You deserve it!

MUSE-INGS: ‘Why? Why? Why?’ by Rosemary Bredeson

Remember the two-year-old asking, ‘Why? Why? Why?’

Why do you suppose that question was so important to that little mind?

I wonder if the question was deeper than we thought.  Why is the grass green?  Why is there a snake swimming in the water?  Why is it thundering?  Why can’t I have a pony?

Every two-year-old has no problem coming up with an exhausting [for Mommy & Daddy!] list of items about which to ask, ‘Why?’  Maybe we get so tired of asking that question when we’re two that we exhaust ourselves and forget to keep asking as we grow older.  Or Mom & Dad get so exhausted that we figure we’d better quit to keep the peace.

But maybe it’s time to reinstate that question but ask it of ourselves instead of our parents. Why am I choosing to do this?  Why do I believe this way and not that way?  Why am I acting like this?  Why am I voting this way?  Why do I drive the way I do?  Why am I eating this? Drinking this?  Thinking this?

What if we continued to ask ourselves ‘Why’ questions all throughout the day?  This just might lead to a deeper connection with our inner self and our behaviors.  Every decision would then become a conscious decision.  Every emotion could be examined in the moment to get to the feeling behind the emotion and possibly to the belief behind that feeling.  Every interaction with another person could be informed by our understanding of why we are interacting in a certain manner.  This consciousness might even lead to an apology or a change in behavior in the middle of the interaction.

And what about the answers that we don’t like when we ask the questions?  Why don’t I like this person?  Because they remind me of my 4th grade teacher who was mean to me for a whole year.  Wow!  Wouldn’t that be a revelation?  And the poor person who in the 21st Century had nothing to do with that teacher was suffering because of an unconscious resemblance!

Much of what we do, say, believe comes from our unconscious mind and it can stay unconscious as long as we choose to ignore it or to avoid examining it.  This is not conscious living.

So decide today to start asking yourself ‘Why?’  throughout the day.  Be as relentless as you were when you were two years old.  Ask ‘Why?’ and then ask the ‘Why?’ behind that.  Keep going until you feel your have reached your ‘aha.’  The first answer might not be the most meaningful.  The two-year-old inside you knows to keep going, that there is always another layer to the question and to the answer.

And no fair answering your inner two-year-old with ‘Just because!’

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What’s Your Big Question Today?”

Every one of you has a question or two about your life on Planet Earth that it is difficult to ask.  For some of you it is the proverbial ‘Why am I here?’ question.  For others, it is something like ‘What happens when we die?’  And then many of you wonder about all sorts of ideas that have been proposed that you do not feel have been proven to your satisfaction, like the existence of Life elsewhere in the Universe or the actual origins of the chemicals and minerals of the planets or the nature of animals or other living things on your planet.  Questions abound when the thinking mind explores the world around the person.

The danger comes when a person stops asking questions because of one of these two reasons:  they stop being curious and thus choose not to explore, or they believe that they have all the answers and thus do not need to ask any more questions.

Do you fall into one of these two categories?  Do you sometimes get tired of the ‘not knowing’ and wish you had all the answers?  Or do you sometimes get tired of always finding another question to ask?  Or both?

Believe this, Dear One:  you are a questing being.  Your soul incarnated in your body so that you could ask questions and learn the answers which would lead to more questions as you explore the world around you.  You chose to incarnate on Planet Earth at this time so that you could learn all about 21st Century Earth and her peoples, the environment, the societies, the ideas, the poetry, the art, the cuisines.  You incarnated in a particular family so that you could learn all that that family had to teach you.

Let’s talk about that last sentence for a moment.  Have you wondered why you were born to the family you were born to?  Maybe you grew up feeling like an outsider, or maybe your mother gave you up for adoption and you were raised by some other family.  Do you have an answer for why you were born where and to whom you were born?  Examining this is a part of growing into who you incarnated to be.  Why those particular parents?  Siblings?  Why that school/philosophy/religion/neighborhood/country?  There are lots of aspects of your early life that you can examine to understand more fully how you have been shaped by those very aspects.

The uncurious mind doesn’t bother to explore these questions but one who would grow, who would develop, experiences a certain curiosity about their origins that helps to elaborate on their understanding of Self.  Did you ever wonder about your rebellious or non-rebellious nature as a young person?  What do you suppose that was about?

You rebelled against what was helping you to define yourself, or you chose not to rebel in obvious ways because you chose to adopt what was being presented to you.  The process of growing up is a process much like shopping for a new outfit of clothing.  You try on several to see if they fit, if they are comfortable, if they present the image you wish to project and to see if they are appropriate for who you are in that moment.  When you are growing as a person you are exposed to many new ideas, philosophies, possibilities and you try them on for a fit.  Some you discard, some you adopt and some you modify.

This process never ends.  As long as you are breathing you are exploring the wonder called ‘Life.’  Adopt a curious attitude about what is around you.  Examine it and yourself for ways that you can grow.  Learn from everything that happens or appears around you.  And enjoy the process!

This IS Life!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: ‘Mirror, Mirror, on the wall…’ by Rosemary Bredeson

How many times have we been the mirrors for the projections of others?  And how many times have we projected our stuff onto someone else?

These are not the pretty things we like to ponder but there are the gems of some real growth in considering these questions.

When you are told that your issues are about something inside you rather than about the other person, how do you react?  Do you first go into disbelief and then justification?  ‘What do you mean it’s not about them?  They’re being ridiculous, an idiot, unkind, outrageous, ________[fill in the blank]!’  Of course we want it to be about them because it is much easier to consider ourselves to be victims than to own responsibility for what is happening in a relationship.

Let me say here that I am not talking about abuse.  This is never acceptable.  But when you feel that you are the victim of abuse you must ask yourself what you are to learn and sometimes the answer is that you must remove yourself from the relationship.  When you make the abuse about either your own inadequacy, such as creating an excuse for why you might have deserved the treatment you received, or when you make the abuse about the other person and you don’t take action except to get angry or fearful, then you have given away your power to an abusive relationship and you are not owning your opportunity for personal growth.

In every relationship there are many opportunities for growth but we tend to want to romanticize our romantic relationships or make family relationships about what happened in the past.  Sometimes in friendships we have expectations that are not realistic or, on the other hand, we excuse behaviors in our friends that we wouldn’t tolerate in our partners.  We get our boundaries all mixed up about what is mine and what is theirs.

It is important to examine our relationships for where the healthy boundaries are.  Know what is yours and what is the other person’s.  Not clear?  Then work on this with someone who is not emotionally charged in the relationship so that you can become clear about where the healthy boundaries lie.

Think of every relationship as a mirror that your inner Self is holding up to you so that you can see in that mirror the work that is ‘in your face’ today for you to work on.  And then do the work.

Remember that an issue is probably not about you unless it is pointing you in the direction of a lesson to be learned.  Honor those lessons by allowing the relationship to be the classroom in the School of Life on Earth and learn the lesson without becoming defensive or retaliatory.  Lessons in relationships can help both the individuals to grow.  And if you feel that you cannot grow in the relationship, then re-examine your reason for staying there.

Sometimes the healthiest boundaries come from creating great distance.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Relationships are merely mirrors???!!!”

Dear Ones,

When a person struggles with intimacy issues or with issues within an intimate relationship that issue has nothing to do with the other person or even the relationship.  The issue is an inside issue of being honest with and trusting the Self. The relationship is merely the crucible, the classroom, in which one is being given the opportunity to learn the lesson.

People often project their issues onto the people or the world around them.  Others feel the ‘attack’ and react to that with defensiveness or retaliation.  But projection implies that a person’s Self, inner being, is looking for a mirror in which to see that issue.  If someone else projects onto you, see that as their opportunity to learn a lesson, regardless of whether or not they take that opportunity to learn it.

Where most people get tripped up is in reacting to the projection as if it had something to do with them.  It doesn’t.  And the sooner one learns this the easier one’s life will be.

Other people are on the Earth for 2 purposes: 1) To learn their lessons [foremost]; and 2) To help you learn yours.

That is the simple reason for having a lifetime in the School of Earth – to accomplish those 2 purposes.

And, yet, most people spend most of their time reacting to someone else learning their lessons or to ignoring actively the learning of their own.

The Earth is a lovely home in which to be home-schooled.  Lessons abound in every situation.  Everything in the environment is placed there to help you learn.  It is a wonderful setup for personal growth and Soul Evolution.

Yet most humans spend their time resisting the lessons, railing against their environment [and situations] or numbing out to avoid personal growth.

What a choice!

Choose the lessons and Soul Evolution.  You’ll be much happier in your Earth Environment!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Are You Ready for Connection?

When I had that dream a couple of weeks ago, I felt that it was an important one.  Now I see the message.

Our work in the world now is not just to try to avert dangers and disasters, but to choose the response that supports the evolution of the New Human when something does happen.

The Feminine Way is one in which we reach out to help because there is a need.  We treat others as our family.  We dispense with greed and look to what we can do so that all can survive.  This woman’s story shows a village that does just that.  Instead of hoarding there is sharing.  If someone is better off than another, they take the other into their home.

This is the best of humanity.  This happens around the world when there is a crisis.  Neighbors help neighbors.  Strangers help strangers.  People get a clear understanding that we are all one, we are all members of the same family, the Human Family.

So why is there so much greed rampant in our society?  Why do so many people forget that we are all one?  Why the subterfuge, the anger, hatred, judgment, intolerance of others?  And what would all the hate-mongers do if a devastating earthquake or tsunami hit their village?

I wonder.  Maybe this is the time that we can wipe out the separating forces with a tsunami of Love.  What if we decide that we will Love all others, no matter how different they are, no matter what they’ve done?  We will hold ourselves in so much Love that it pours out of us, without judgment or fear or hatred or anger or intolerance.  Maybe we can each commit to the concept of The Feminine Way, saying now, before we are the ones suffering a devastating disaster, that we will respond with Love if something like that happens around us.  Let us prepare ourselves to be a part of a community and a support of that community should the need arise.

My sister works in the disaster response world.  She would tell you to make the preparations that are prudent for everyone to make, whether the disaster be an earthquake, a tsunami, a hurricane, a blizzard, a tornado or just a power outage.  Check out the Red Cross website for info.  Take care of your family and household.  But also be aware that you are a part of the greater community.

If you have a Homeowners’ Association, get them to have a disaster plan.  Is there someone in the neighborhood who is on oxygen and might need a generator?  Are there elderly or babies who might need something that others can offer?  Does someone need dialysis and can’t get gas for their car to get to the appointments?  The Association could learn these things and prepare as a community for whatever might occur.

Thinking outside the box of ‘me, me, me’ enables each individual to grow as the New Human.

Maybe I had that dream as prophecy.  Maybe it was a message to all of us to think about what The Feminine Way really means in our lives.  And maybe it was a wake-up call to all of us to examine the ways in which we feel disconnected from each other so that we can find our way to connection.

Keep praying for the people in Japan and for the healing of all who inhabit our Mother Earth.
