Facing the dark side

Within the chrysalis a complete transformation of the caterpillar happens. The cells change and break down creating a completely new form from what entered into this sacred space. No cell unturned. No thought left untouched. The space within this chrysalis is tight and to break free the butterfly must push and struggle to be freed, to survive. This struggle is also what gives it life. The struggle pushes blood to the wings and gets the new form moving preparing for its new life. Contained within this new form all the information and knowledge of what to do as a new creature capable of flight and reproduction. Capable of something it has never seen nor done in its former life as a crawling vegetation eating caterpillar.

My butterflies are now free living their 21 days of life in the sunshine and warmth. Their transformation and subsequent struggle to live played out in my living room under the excited watchful eyes of my little girls and myself. I was spellbound by this process and learned so much about life in those short moments of time. Inside my chrysalis I'm learning things about myself also. As I'm turned inside out I allow the Divine Grace to have its way with me and truly help me grow and improve through experience and time.

I have been making piece with my dark side. I never truly understood what that meant until this week. Its the unhappy thoughts, fears, and scars that are ignored and shoved deep into the depths of the mind. I'm freeing myself from these things slowly and with purpose so they can be brought to the light and released to become my strength and my knowledge of how to learn and grow forward. I'm feeling the push and pull of my transformation and the walls are growing tighter as I expand.

I'm also coming to terms with the biggest fear that has held me back my whole life. I'm not sure of its roots- perhaps a past life- as I cannot remember a life experience where I wasn't held back because of this fear. I fear accomplishment. I actually have managed to always keep myself in my safe bubble where I am rarely surrounded by anything that can fail or cause my failure. Its not to say I don't take chances I just don't take big ones. My daughters are the exception and they were the spark that started me down the deepest depths of self improvement. Last week I realized my greatest fear and it made me cry. How was I ever to inspire and support my greatest creation if I couldn't do the same for myself? It has been a week since I realized this deep fear and as it spun inside my being tearing me up and cutting me raw I slowly faced it and grew stronger in knowing its name. I placed it into the Sacred Light and asked for its healing. This process is a daily ritual and I have to know it with every breath. It has become my friend and in honoring this fear it is slowly melting into my strength to push me forward.

I have created an opening for so much growth by accepting my darkest space within me and in doing so I am slowly remember who I truly was always born to be in this lifetime. I wish the same for each of you as you read these words because I believe we all are capable of remembering who we are and what we are here to do. Societally influencing is slowing melting away in my world because I give it no power when my soul guides and I do what always feels right to my very core. Imagine what our world would look like if we all did our best and followed Divine Guidance.

It wasn't easy to share this deep healing but it feels good to know its written and shared to help others. I honor each of you as you travel your roads of life.

Chrysalis

I started this blog over a year ago after a very powerful encounter with the moon, Jupiter, my higher self and the Divine Will. It all flowed together and was so obvious as to what I was to do to support myself and others on this great path of awakening that we are undergoing here on Earth. Over the year each observance was highlighted with a different level of awakening. Each chakra what cleansed and healed or broke open to be freed from its bonds and attachments. Each step of the way I grew and we grew together. My heart knew that the Love that flowed through me entered deep into my words and these pages. On the Capricorn new year my visions of this blog seemed to blur. I had delivered my first stage of information and now I had little to add but posts of the beauty of fully awakening and understanding what it meant to be a Divine Being. I was seeing the world completely different now that I had experienced my guided awakening. I wondered where the road would take me. So I meditated and waited. 

I started absorbing information again. Sleeping a lot and feeling my body shift. The sacred wheel had kept turning. My direction seems to be on a long golden road filled with love but little landscape to speak of and few words to share. Until now....

On Monday I brought home four painted lady caterpillars to be observed by my two beautiful four year old girls and myself. I have been more fascinated by them then my girls have been because they are symbolic of me. I felt my kinship to them the moment they were handed to me. I have always had Butterfly as a personal totem. I choose it or it choose me when I was about 10- at least that's my first memory of our kinship. I never let go of this cycle- Metamorphosis- my whole life it has been how I have evolved. Birth, consume, death, rebirth and create. This process has never been so clear as this moment on the cusp of a new moon with 4 pupa (chrysalis) hanging in my butterfly house silently undergoing the biggest transformation without anything visibly happening on the outside. The actual creation of the pupa itself happens so slowly and gracefully I had to stand there for the better part of a half hour to even notice it was happening. This is where I find myself. I have been slowly creating my pupa. I am entering into my chrysalis to undergo the biggest transformation my life has yet to see. I'm ready and as always open to all the gifts the beautiful universe has to offer me. 

I know little of where this process will take me however I do know one thing. I am guided with all my heart to share my thoughts and experiences of this process with others so they too can notice the small shifts and possibly see the bigger change that is happening within and around them. Please stay tuned as I share my process and eventually my breaking open of my new self. 

Wishing you Divine Blessings on the cusp of this New Moon ripe with endless possibilities and full of Deep Sacred Love.

Hearts Spoken Truth

When the heart speaks the throat chakra awakens to speak the hearts truth.

Truth holds power that other words cannot- the hearts truth is always strongest. The freedom found in the vibrations of each syllable is like butterfly wings floating on the breath of the soul. Lifting up to the Divine Source, the truth is made Golden in the Light and heard by the endless ears of the Universe. Suns bend and planets yield to bring this truth to pass. Your truth has now become a co-creator of all that is- one with the Divine Source again. The first words spoken in truth may flow like a raging river or may choke you up as you gather all your strength to speak them free. Once the flow is open your hearts whispers will grow to strong intention that can no longer be denied. Form turns into function. You are now awakening into the truth of the soul.

Unity with Purpose
Lack of strong family of origin connection has left me to find my true roots in self within the Divine connection to Mother Earth and to the Divine Source. No greater gift could be given; no more painful truth could be spoken. We are all one. Old beliefs of strong family ties are wiped away so the foundations of the soul can be formed and created in the Light of the Divine. Holding true to the hearts desires above all third dimensional yearning is key to continue to awaken and fully embody the truth of your essence. Release what you thought was the truth of your birth patterns given to you through your blood line and find what your truth is within as well as above you. The ties of family of origin karma are no longer required of any soul that wishes to be released and relieved of its obligations. This shift is not without a loss but the gain is the connection to your Divine Self and the Divine Source which are one.

Reflection
There is a swirl of energy surrounding us now that is reflecting all that we are as well as giving us the chance to see what is possible within us. Quiet the self within and witness what is possible. The truth is endless in its possibility. The only step that must be taken is to accept that you have no boundaries contained within you. You are as limitless as the Light that shines within your soul and connects you to all that is and will ever be.

Blessing of Understanding and Love!

Galactic Awakening

Galactic Awakening was born within me as a vision of a lotus flower. The picture was dark as if it was the moment before dawn. I could see the silhouette of a large bare tree. A flower appeared on one of the longer branches and then light suddenly started to shine from the center of this flower. The flower began to sparkle and shine and open more and more completely as the seasons around this flower shifted and changed from winter, spring, summer, fall, and then winter again.

This is the symbolic vision for each of us. The Galactic Awakening of our souls. Our journey to reconnect with the natural rhythms of time and the seasons of our beloved mother earth. Honoring ourselves and opening to a more deeper sense of who we are and our Divine purpose. The time for these sacred moments of honoring is now.

Time continues to speed up, every day faster than the next. Our daily demands leave us short for time and personal space. Our concept of time will continue to accelerate as we push forth through our 2012 gateway and the ending of the great 26,000 year solar cycle. What we need is a space, a place, and a moment of life to reconnect with our one constant-Mother Earth.

The cycles of the earth are ingrained inside our beings. This deep knowledge will assist in bringing us back to center again. In honoring the process of the seasons as well as the sacred cross-quarter points we will begin to create again a sacred space within as well as around us that can be utilized for growth and awakening.

2011 holds the promise of some of the greatest incoming energies from our universe we have ever experienced. Understanding how to utilize and commune with this knowledge will be part of our journey together. We will create ritual around these sacred  moments in Life. We will gather to speak from our hearts and feel the natural rhythm of our souls awakening as we connect with the earth mother and her life that she brings forth each season. A new chapter in our evolution is being created and we are being called to assist with that creation. To bring forth new ideas and birth them into this new multi-dimensional paradigm. Like the lotus flower you will grow, sparkle and shine your light into this world as it is awakening with you.

Join me as we start the Galactic Awakening together with the first cross-quarter of the new year on February 2nd. The celebration of Imbolc. We will discuss the traditional honoring of this passage. We will also discuss the creation of the new energies coming forth. Together we will honor the wisdom of the past while birthing the wisdom of our time. A time that starts within us. We will gather to talk, create ceremony and shake the seed of life within ourselves to start the opening of our lotus and set intentions of what is to come.

As the year progresses it is my intention to create sacred gatherings on the cross-quarter point so we can gather as a community and share our awakening together. I will also continue to write on this blog about the sacred passages, the universal energies that are working through me and others, and share messages from other trusted sources that will guide or assist us with our awakening.

This is your personal Galactic Awakening, hear the call from your soul and honor this moment in Life. Then dream big and allow yourself to expand into the endless Divinity that is your souls truth.


Imbolc
The first Galactic Awakening gathering will be held on February 2nd at 8 pm Eastern/7 pm Central/6 pm Mountain/5pm Pacific.

If you would like to join us and will not be available for the call, a recording will be created and can be sent to you for enjoyment at a later time.
